AirCard® 597E ExpressCard - User Guide
14
Configuring the AirCard ExpressCard involves setting the
phone number assigned by your service provider and may
involve entering other network parameters and settings such
as a user name and password to access services.
Your service provider needs to know:
•
The billing information to use to collect payment for your
network usage.
•
The ESN
(Electronic Serial Number) or MEID (Mobile
Equipment Identifier) assigned to your AirCard
ExpressCard during the manufacturing process. (The ESN
or MEID is printed on a label on the AirCard ExpressCard
and can be displayed in Watcher.) This number is used to
help authenticate your account when you connect for
service.
You require from your service provider:
•
An activation code that gives you access to configure the
account.
•
A phone number for your AirCard ExpressCard.
•
Additional information specific to your service provider
such as:
·
A user ID (username) and password to authenticate your
network connection.
·
A SID (System IDentifier) that identifies your home
network area and is used together with your phone
number to determine if you are "home" or "roaming".
