Bulk Activations

Bulk Activations
The M2M DataSmart’s Online Product Activation & Automated Billing System easily solves this problem for you. Each M2M Customer is assigned a private and secure customer account. Each customer can monitor and control their units (and only their units) from their private administration page on the web server.
 
The Online Product Activation process allows the end user to activate their products online just before they are used. This process allows the customer to create his or her own user account and passwords, to select a billing plan and enter a credit card number or an M2M Datasmart account number to establish billing.
 
The purpose of this process is to facilitate large numbers of individual product activations without the need for manual processes related to device management.

Provisioning
All units include a cellular radio that is “provisioned” with the M2M DataSmart cellular network. This step occurs during the assembly and test process, prior to shipping.

Product Activation
All devices include a quick start guide with access to the secure area of the www.m2mdatadmart.com web site as well as an activation key for the device. Local configuration of the unit can occur before product activation, but activation must occur before any transmissions can be made. Armed with the activation key and quick start guide, a new customer can easily activate a new device. Specifically, the customer will create a new account or select an existing account if they have one, select a billing plan, and enter address billing information, a credit card number or an existing billing account. The device associated with the activation key will then be assigned to the new account.

Only Pay for It When You Need It!
This is very useful for seasonal M2M products applications.The end customer can use the M2M DataSmart on-line system to de-activate a device and terminate billing at the end of any month – or suspend a device. There is no charge to deactivate a unit.

The account can then be re-activated either on-line exactly when needed, or by scheduling it in advance. There is a $30 fee to reactivate a unit, and then billing will be resumed according to the selected plan.
