This message indicates that IOTA was successfully initiated, but then servers at Sprint's end
probably did not respond, so IOTA terminated. Make sure you have typed the right MIN/MDN
and MSID fields in the activate command and confirm with Sprint that the account is set up
correctly in Sprint databases.

I have activated my card manually, but will be moving the card to a new geographic
location. If I need to update the Mobile IP (MIP) parameters, do I need to go through the
entire activation process again?
No. Use the following IOTA command to reset the MIP parameters:

I see two profiles created when I issue a show cellular profile command on my 3G
wireless HWIC (HWIC-3G-CDMA-S) connected to the Sprint network. Why do I see two
profiles, and what are the differences?
Profiles 0 and 1 exist by default, but the values populated in some of the fields for profile 0 are
preprovisioned during manufacturing. Because customers cannot use these preprovisioned
values to activate their modems, you need to get those values from your service provider.
Profile 0 is the default profile used during IOTA. When activation is successful, the provider
populates the values for profile 1. Profile 1 is used for data communication, and there is no
need to configure another profile.

Note: If manual activation succeeded but IOTA failed, the values in profile 1 will not be
populated. It is only during IOTA that the values are populated in profile 1.
populated. It is only during IOTA that the values are populated in profile 1.
How are the SID and NID assigned? Are these values picked up by the modem when it
starts talking to the network, or do they need to be input every time a call is made?
The modem picks up these values when it attaches to the network. You need to input the
values only one time with the activation command. You can find the current SID and NID by
using the show cellular network command.

Are the SID and NID geographically dependent? If I bring 100 3G HWICs into a central
site and configure them with the same SID and NID before shipping them around the
country, will this configuration affect the performance of the 3G HWICs? Will I need to
change these values based on where they are deployed?
You do not have to change the SID and NID values if you ship the modem to a different
location from where it was activated. However, you should run IOTA by issuing the cellular x/yz
cdma activate iota command at the new location. Running IOTA is not mandatory, but it
updates the MIP data profile and improves performance of the 3G HWIC.

I am trying to manually activate my modem card using the command cellular [Interface]
cdma activate manual [MDN] [IMSI] [SID] [NID] [activation code], but the activation
seems to be failing.
Most probably the activation code is wrong. Please call Sprint or your service provider and
ensure that you have the right activation code.
