GETTING STARTED
SIM card preparation
Choose the right SIM cards
SIM cards from any network on prepaid or on contract
(recommended) can be used. Choose network/s with the best
coverage in the area and the best SMS rates.
NOTE – Make sure that sufficient airtime or SMS bundles are
loaded. Air time loading methods are network specific.
Disable SIM PIN before installation
The SMX will not function with a SIM PIN enabled. Disable the
PIN by inserting it in a mobile phone and deselecting the SIM
PIN function. If a PIN is not requested when the phone is
switched on, the PIN has been disabled.
CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation)
A CLIP enabled SIM is required for missed call functions. Most
pre-paid SIMs are CLIP enabled, but contract SIMs usually
carry additional charges for CLIP.
SIM churning
Prepaid SIMs that do not produce billable events for about
three months are churned (de-activated by the network).
Configure a regular self test SMS to keep SIMs active.
IMPORTANT
When using dual SIMs configure the SMX to periodically use
the redundant SIM to avoid churning. See remote
configuration leaflet.
Signal strength
Network signal strength can be improved by using a blade
antenna or repositioning the unit. A minimum of 1-2 bars,
indicated on a mobile phone in the same position, is required.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT insert or remove SIM cards
while the unit is powered!
