ACTIVATE SERVICE
After the SOMAport powers on, it will be in one of two service modes:
Restricted access – Your SOMAport remains in this mode until
your account is activated by your service provider. You can use the
SOMAport only to contact your service provider to activate full
service, either by telephone or through the service provider’s Web
site. You cannot receive telephone calls in this mode, although you
can place a call to an emergency service (for example, 911 in North
America).
Full-service access – You can browse any site on the Internet,
receive telephone calls, and place calls to any telephone number.
To activate full service
1 Restart your computer while it is connected to the powered-on SOMAport.
2 Launch a Web browser.
3 Direct your browser to a known valid Internet address (such as
www.web.com).
If the page opens, full service has already been activated and you can begin
using your SOMAport for Internet service.
If you are redirected to your service provider's Web page, complete the sign-
up procedure on the Web site to activate full service.
If you can not open any Web pages at all, see “Finding Causes of Computer
Problems” on page 30.
NOTE: If you subscribe only to telephone service, activate full service by
calling your service provider’s technical assistance center.
