Can I use MIN and MSID interchangeably while trying to activate the 3G HWIC over the
Sprint network using the following command: cellular slot/wic_slot/port cdma activate
manual mdn msid/min sid nid msl? For example, I received the following parameters for
a card:
MIN/PTN: 9136874229
MSID: 9133146581
MSL: 924271
MIN is a representation of MSID. MIN and MDN are not the same. MDN represents a dialable
number, but MIN is not necessarily one. In the new era of wireless local number portability,
MDN and MIN have diverged significantly in recent years.

I get the "UNABLE TO CONFIGURE MDN, Modem cannot be activated" error while trying
to activate the modem as follows. What is causing the error?
*Jul 7 16:17:43.411: %HWIC_CELL-1-MGMT_ERROR: [Cellular0/1/0] Error

The modem gives this error when you enter a typographical error or you have the wrong MSL.
Make sure there is no typographical error and verify the MSL with your service provider.

●
You can issue the show cellular x/x/x profile command and see if there are two profiles. If
the activation was successful, two profiles will be created: "Profile 0" and "Profile 1", with
"Data Profile 1 showing Activated" and appropriate values populated.

Will running IOTA update my Preferred Roaming List (PRL)?
No. IOTA does not update the PRL, it updates Mobile IP Profile 1 in the device with the
parameters to connect to the Sprint network. You can update PRL only with a firmware update.
