Provision a CDMA-based device

Provision your XBee Gateway cellular device with the required information used to access the cellular network. Typically, an automatic provisioning process is used to provision the device. For Verizon, that process is OTASP (Over the Air Service Programming). For Sprint, the process is OMA DM (Open Mobile Alliance Device Management. This automatic provisioning requires the cellular modem in the XBee Gateway cellular device to communicate over the cellular network, and requires a good cellular signal.

To provision a CDMA-based device:

  1. Locate and write down the unique ID, called an MEID, on the product label on the bottom on of your XBee Gateway cellular device.

    Location of the unique ID, called an MEID, on the product lable of the XBee Gateway Cellular device

  2. Obtain an account with your cellular carrier and provide the carrier account representative the MEID of the device. The representative will create an account for the XBee Gateway cellular device based on the MEID.

  3. Power on the device.

  4. Open a browser and access and log in to the XBee Gateway web interface.

  5. Under Administration, click Mobile Status. The Mobile Status page appears.

  6. Check the status in the Provisioning status and Connection state fields. The possible statuses are as follows:
    • Provisioning status: Provisioned and Connection state: Connected indicates XBee Gateway device was successfully provisioned and is connected to the cellular network.
    • Provisioning status: Provisioning operation failed indicates provisioning failed on the XBee Gateway device. Additional information on this provisioning failure may appear on the Mobile Status page. See Troubleshooting XBee Gateway CDMA devices for more information.
