10.0 APPENDIX E – Obtaining Provisioned 4G/LTE
Service (Verizon)

10.1 Understanding

The MDS Orbit MCR-4G requires a mini SIM card (2FF type) provisioned for 4G cell operation. The
unit's cellular interface will not function without a valid SIM card installed.
GE MDS does not provide SIM cards. Service can be obtained by contacting Verizon and requesting a
provisioned SIM card for the appropriate M2M service plan.
Description of the SIM port and how to insert a SIM card is provided in Figure 3-22. Steps for Inserting
the SIM Card on Page 66.

10.2 Before Contacting Verizon

To enable service, Verizon will typically require the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of
the equipment in which the SIM card will be used.
The IMEI can be found by logging into the device and entering the following command:
> show interfaces-state interface Cell cell-status imei
cell-status imei 991000947608727
If MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier) is needed, this is equal to the IMEI value minus the last digit.
NOTE
Do not run the command above unless a provisioned SIM card is installed in the unit. If an un-
provisioned card is used, the cell-status may return an error code beginning with 0x instead of
the proper IMEI value.

10.3 Establishing a Cell Service Plan

Verizon offers a variety of service plans. Determine your data needs and contact your Verizon Wireless
Business Representative to obtain the appropriate provisioned SIM cards.
Verizon provides the following link to assist in finding a service representative based on customer
