CDMA Radio Set Up
Note: Set up and provision information is also available in the 700 Color
CDMA Radio Setup Quick Start Guide P/N: 962-054-063.
This tells you how to set up your CDMA radio in your 760 Computer.
Below are terms to familiarize you with CDMA r adio technology:
Activation The process of programming the radio with the lock code (MSL) and phone number (MIN) to
allow it to communicate on the provider’s network. Once activation is complete you can make
voice calls (if enabled by the carrier) with th e mobile computer.
Data Provisioning The process of activating the ability for the CDMA radio to establish data connections, such as
connecting to the Internet. The CDMA radio makes data connection only after it is activated
and data provisioned.
NID (Network ID) A numeric value programmed into the CDMA radio at the factory or during the activation
process. Your carrier may or may not use this value, but your carrie r may provide this for ac-
tivation purposes.
SID (System ID) A numeric value programmed into the CDMA radio at the factory or during the activation
process. This number is used by your carrier to determine if the radio belongs to its CDMA
network. Your carrier may provide this nu mber for activation purposes.
Note: Descriptions in this chapter are f or Sprint PCS, Bell Mobility, Te-
lus, and Verizon Networks versions of the SB555 Watcher program. Oth-
er carriers may be added pending regulatory and carrier approval.
