the Verizon Network

This chapter provides step‐by‐step directions for activating
your PinPoint‐E on the Verizon cellular network.
Automatic Activation
One of the special features of your PinPoint‐E for Verizon is the
ability to activate itself automatically. When you first power on
the PinPoint‐E, it will check to see if it has been activated with
account data. If it finds that it has not yet been activated, the
PinPoint‐E will attempt to retrieve the account data from the
Verizon network using Over‐the‐Air Service Provisioning
(OTASP).
Caution: You need to have an account with Verizon before you
attempt automatic activation. If you have not ordered an account
from Verizon for your PinPoint-E, it will not succeed at activating.
a.
Attach the antenna to your PinPoint‐E.
b.
Plug the PinPoint‐E into power.
c.
While the LED lights cycle from the outside to the
inside, the PinPoint‐E is attempting to download its
account information. The download process may take
about a minute or two.
Caution: Do not move your PinPoint-E while it is being programmed.
d.
When the lights illuminate, your PinPoint‐E has
successfully completed OTASP and is registered on the
Verizon network.
e.
Optional:
If you need to update the ALEOS firmware,
change the account information, or want to test the
account settings of your PinPoint‐E, follow the direc‐
tions below to use the Setup Wizard. Otherwise, skip
the Wizard steps and go to the Hardware Installation
section.
