Automatic versus manual provisioning
There are different types of provisioning methods depending upon your mobile provider.
The Mobile Device Provisioning Wizard will provide the appropriate choices based on the
mobile provider selected. Two main provisioning methods are:
Automatic Provisioning: Typically, an automatic provisioning process called
IOTA (IP-Based Over the Air) is used to provision the device. Note that
automatic provisioning requires the modem device to communicate over the
mobile network and requires a good signal to ensure proper provisioning.
Manual Provisioning: Alternatively, a manual provisioning method can be used
to manually specify the required fields needed to access the mobile network.
The manual provisioning method is an advanced configuration normally used
only for custom network access or providers.This method is not available for
all mobile providers, and will not be available in the Mobile Device
Provisioning Wizard if your mobile provider does not support it.
Example: provision ConnectPort WAN VPN for Sprint™ PCS
The sequence of Mobile Device Provisioning Wizard screens displayed and the settings
on them vary by product and mobile service provider. If you used the Digi Device Setup
Wizard for initial configuration of your Digi device, and selected a service provider in the
wizard, some of the provisioning settings will have already been established.
Here is an example of the wizard screens for a ConnectPort WAN VPN using Sprint PCS
as the mobile service provider.
