Manual Activation:
Some carriers may not support OTASP in which case it may be necessary to manually provision the modem.
Select Internal Cellular Modem panel on the System: Dial menu
Enter the MSL, MDN and MSID values. These values are specific to your carrier and for manual activation you

spaces or hyphens e.g. “5551231234” for “555-123-1234”
