7. Wait a few moments for the card to automatically reset. Depending on your
configuration, an IOTA session may automatically start. (See “Data
Provisioning [IOTA]” on page 34.)

Data Provisioning (IOTA)
IOTA (Internet Over The Air), supported by some service providers (including
Sprint), is an automated feature to perform account setup for you by making a
connection to the CDMA network and using a secure Internet connection to
download account parameters to your card. To make this secure connection, IOTA
requires that your computer support 128-bit encryption. (See “High Encryption
Requirements (Windows)” on page 10.)
Depending on your configuration, the first time Sprint Connection Manager
detects the activated card, an IOTA session may automatically start, during which
status messages (“Updating User Profile…”) are displayed.
After this first activation, there may be changes to your account that require
updating the parameters in the card. If this is needed:
1. In the “Device Info & Diagnostics” window (page 86), click Update Data Profile.
(If this button is not displayed, remove and reinsert the card.)
2. In the “IOTA Provisioning” window, click Ye s.
Your card then retrieves the updates to your data services account. Once the
updates are successful, Sprint Connection Manager is displayed (“Disconnected”).
You can now connect to the network. To learn about using the software, see
“Using the Card on a Windows Computer” on page 39.
