Registering with a Carrier
CDPD Basics
CDPD, short for Cellular Digital Packet Data, is also known as "Wireless IP".
It is a data transmission technology developed for use on cellular phone
frequencies. CDPD uses cellular channels (in the 800 to 900 MHz range) to
transmit data in packets. This technology offers data transfer rates of up to
19.2 Kbps, quicker call set up, and better error correction than using modems
on an analog cellular channel. CDPD is based on TCP/IP, the same protocols
that power the Internet. See the document on CD-ROM forAll About CDPD
a detailed overview of CDPD technology.
Activating Your Service
Just as you would do with a cell phone, you must first register for service with
a local CDPD carrier. The PocketSpider will work with any CDPD carrier.
Decide which carrier offers the best plan to meet your CDPD needs, then
register with that carrier.
5
Typically, two service carriers will be available to a CDPD user. One will be
known as the A-side carrier and the other is know as the B-side carrier. You
may register with the A-side carrier, the B-side carrier, or both of the carriers.
Registration
When you register with a CDPD carrier, the carrier should give you the following
information:
Internet Protocol (IP) address
Carrier Side Identification (Either A or B)
Service Provider Network Identifier (SPNI) Number
Be sure to record this information. This information may be needed in order
to receive customer service and/or technical support.
Your cellular carrier may also provide you with additional information that is
needed for use with your third-party protocol stacks(s). Consult your protocol
stack documentation for information or call Enfora Technical Support regarding
stack configuration and use.
The cellular carrier has the responsibility to warn you of any charges the carrier
may make to its operations and/or procedures that would affect your usage of the
service. You will be advised of your right to issue a complaint to the FCC
regarding these changes.
