The Current Status section displays the current status of the SIM (whether a SIM card is present, and if so whether it is
valid) and PIN (whether a PIN has been entered and PIN security enabled).
SIM Status (status text)
SIM ACCEPTED displays when a valid SIM card is inserted properly in the modem. NO SIM displays if the SIM
card is invalid, missing, or installed incorrectly.

number of attempts is three. If SIM is locked, you must contact your cellular carrier to unlock.
PIN Settings
The Pin Settings section enables you to enter a PIN, change a pin, enable PIN security or disable it. Instructions for the
available actions and associated options displayed in this section of the Web page change depending on the SIM status,
whether a PIN has been entered, and whether PIN security is enabled or disabled.
The default setting for PIN security is disabled and you will see the status message "Action: PIN is disabled. To change
it, it must be enabled first."
