Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communication the reception or transmission of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted or never received. Data transfer problems are rare with
well-constructed and configured wireless networks used in conjunction with devices such as the CTM-15X
wireless data device. Cypress Solutions Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind including
but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property due to the delay or loss of data resulting from
the use of the CTM-15X wireless data device.
Safety & hazards
Wireless transmitters can cause interference with some critical operation equipment. For this reason it is
required that the RF portion of the CTM-15X Series wireless data device be turned off when in the vicinity
of blasting operations, medical equipment, life support equipment, or any other equipment that is
susceptible to radio interference. The CTM-15X series wireless data device must be turned off when on-
board or in the vicinity of any aircraft. The FAA prohibits the use of wireless transmitter equipment at any
time during aircraft flight.
Regulatory restrictions
CAUTION: Any modifications to the CTM-15X series wireless data device not expressly authorized by
Cypress Solutions Inc. may cause its regulatory approval status to become invalidated, thereby voiding
your authority to use the product.
The CTM-15X series wireless data device contains a wireless device approved under FCC CFR 47 part
2.1091 and Industry Canada RSS-102 rules for operation as a mobile or fixed device with its specified
antenna of gain ≤6dBi and from which a separation distance of at least 20cm (8”) must be maintained
from all persons at all times and during all modes of operation. The antenna used must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. These rules are in place to prevent any
possible hazard due to personal exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
The CTM-15X series devices are designed to operate with approved wireless cards installed. These cards
will have their own FCC and Industry Canada approval ID numbers. Contact Cypress Solutions for a
complete updated list of supported Wireless cards/modules.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – United States FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a commercial installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
•connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected
•consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Canada Information
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus
as set out in the interference causing equipment standard entitles “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the
Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils
numériques de Classe A prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques”,
NMB-003 édictée par le Ministre des Communications.

1 Activating Your Modem
1.1 Gather Account Information
1.1.1 CDMA/EV-DO devices
For Sierra Wireless AC595/AC597/AC598/AC580 CDMA/EV-DO devices, the following information is
typically required:
•Phone number (10-digit MDN)
•Lock code (6-digit CSL)
•User name (number@… format)
•Password
•Dial number (usually #777)
For all other manufacturer data devices and cards, network activation of the device must be done in a
laptop prior to installing in the modem.
1.1.2 GSM/GPRS/HSPA devices
For GSM/GPRS/HSPA devices, the following information is required:
•An activated SIM card needs to be installed in the Modem or data card
•cmd factory gsm must be entered
Note: TRU-install™ must be disabled on devices that support the TRU-install™ feature prior to
installation into the modem, or activation will not be successful
1.2 Embedded Web Page Activation
Note: Activation via the modem Embedded web browser is supported only on Sierra Wireless AC595,
AC597 Express Card, AC597/8 USB and AC580 data devices with the TRU-install™ feature disabled. For all
other devices, activate the device using a laptop
1.2.1 Automatic Activation via Modem Embedded Web Browser
On the OTASP (Over-The-Air Service Provisioning) page, click Initiate to start the OTASP processing,
depending on the programming data on the modem card, one or more of the following messages will be
displayed on the OTASP page’s status window:
•SPL Unlocked
•Authentication key has been updated
•Shared secrets data has been exchanged

(Revision 1.0)
100BActivating Your Modem
•New NAM parameters have been downloaded
•New MDM has been downloaded
•IMSI has been downloaded
•PRL has been downloaded
During updating, if any of the above data is unsuccessful, the "OTASP Timeout" message and the "OTASP
Disconnected" message will be displayed. To retry the OTASP process, click Initiate to re-start. When the
OTASP process is complete and the provisioning parameters have been committed the "OTASP
Disconnected" message will be displayed.
Click Initiate and cycle the power on the modem.
1.2.2 Manual Activation via Modem Embedded Web Browser
On the Activate page, enter the Lock code (CSL), the Phone number (MDN), and the Mobile Identification
Number (MIN).
CSL, MDN and MIN are all required to successfully activate the data device.
The MIN entry is provided to add support for the Wireless Number Portability (WNP).
If you were provided with a MIN from your service provider then enter the 10-digit number in the MIN
field and enter the Lock code (CSL).
If you were not provided with a MIN then copy the 10-digit number for the MDN in the MIN field and
enter the Lock code (CSL).
Click Submit and cycle the power on the modem.
1.3 Command Line Activation
Note 1: Command line activation can be via a local telnet session or console session via the modem serial
interface
Note 2: Activation via the command line interface is supported only on Sierra Wireless AC595, AC597
Express Card, AC597/8 USB and AC580 data devices with the TRU-install™ feature disabled. For all other
devices, activate the device using a laptop
There are two methods, OTASP is a single command entry and the simplest, if OTASP does not work
follow the Manual Activation instructions.
