Sim Pin; Enable The Sim Pin - Sierra Wireless AirLink ES440 User Manual

ALEOS 4.4.0 Software Configuration User Guide
Field Description
Keepalive The amount of time the AirLink device goes without receiving a valid packet before the first
Ping Time Keepalive ping is sent. Options are:
(minutes)
•
•
Most applications work well with an interval of 15 to 60 minutes.
If the first ping fails, the AirLink device sends four additional pings. If all five pings fail, the AirLink
device reboots. After rebooting, the AirLink device waits 60 minutes before sending another
Keepalive ping (regardless of the setting in this field). This prevents frequent rebooting (based on the
Keepalive Ping Time setting) if the IP address used for the Keepalive ping is not accessible.
Note: Using Keepalive ping may accrue data charges. Each individual ping is approximately
98 bytes (196 bytes for ping sent plus ping response).
You can also use
Force Determines if the ping should be sent even if IP traffic is received during the Keepalive ping interval.

SIM PIN

If you have a SIM card with a PIN configured, you can configure ALEOS to enter
the PIN on reboot, so human intervention is not required.
This feature has two requirements:
• A PIN-locked SIM card—Contact your Mobile Network Operator to ensure
that they support this feature and to obtain a PIN-locked SIM card and PIN.
• The SIM PIN feature in ACEmanager must be enabled. See
PIN.
If the AirLink device has a PIN-locked SIM installed and this feature is not enabled
in ACEmanager, the AirLink device is unable to go on air and the Network Status
field on the Status > Home screen displays the message "SIM PIN incorrect, #
attempts left".

Enable the SIM PIN

To enable the SIM PIN in ALEOS:
1. In ACEmanager, go to WAN/Cellular.
2. Click the SIM PIN button. The following pop-up window appears.
