
SprintPCSusesIOTA(IP‐basedOverTheAir)fortheirOver‐the‐Airprovisioningsystem.IOTA
usespacketdatacallstotransfertheconfigurationdatatothephone.TheseIOTAdatasessions
canbenetworkinitiatedorclientinitiated.

NetworkinitiatedIOTAisthepreferredmethod.AnautomaticnetworkinitiatedIOTAsession
occurswhenthemodulefirstregistersontotheSprintnetwork.ThisIOTAsessionisqueued
whenSprintoriginallysetsupand'activates'theaccount.Intheircurrentimplementation,
Sprintimposesa72hourexpirationtimerforthisqueuedIOTAsession.

AnIOTAsessionhasadevicetime‐outof15minutes.Ifthereisnosuccesswithin15minutes,
thestatuswillchangetofailandthemodulewillstoptrying.AnormalIOTAsessiontakesfrom
1to3minutes.Toregisterontothenetwork,themoduleneedsasufficientsignalandmustbe
manuallyprovisionedwiththeMDNandMSID.

TheIOTAsessionwilloccurandpopulatethe3GPDparameters.IfitisthefirstIOTAsession,itis
calledaNetworkInitiatedInitialProvisioning(NIIP.)

NOTE:AnIOTAsessionMUSToccurwhilethedevicehasasufficientsignalandisregisteredon
theSprintPCSNetwork.Asessionwillnotbesuccessfulifthedeviceisoutofcoverageornot
