Parameter Descriptions:
<facility>
Phone security locks set by client or factory
Primarily intended for the client to take safety precautions, "SC", "PS" and "FD" can be configured individually.
Parameter <class> is not applicable to security locks. See examples below for further details.
"SC"
SIM (lock SIM cards). SIM requests password upon ME power-up and when this lock
command is issued.
<password>: SIM PIN1.
"PS"
Phone locked to SIM card. ME requests password when other than current SIM card is
inserted.
"PS" lock is frequently referred to as "phone lock", or "device lock". Accordingly, the password
may be called "phone code" or "device code". The "PS" password is not associated with the
PUK of the SIM card. If incorrectly entered three times, the Master Phone Code is required to
lift the lock. This is an 8-digit device code associated to the IMEI number of the mobile which
can only by obtained from the manufacturer of the module. Once the Master Phone Code has
been accepted, the mobile is operational, and the "PS" lock is no longer active. If needed it
must be set once again.
Important Note: Multi-Tech does not lock SIM Cards.
<password>: User defined password. It is needed before the first use of <facility> "PS" and,
therefore, must first be specified with AT+CPWD or AT^SPWD, if it has not been predefined by
factory settings. If set by factory (e.g., for a prepaid mobile), the password is supplied by the
provider or operator.
"FD"
SIM fixed dialing memory: If the mobile is locked to "FD", only the phone numbers stored to the
"FD" memory can be dialed. (Capacity of FD phonebook depending on the SIM card).
<password>: SIM PIN 2.
If a lock on the SIM fixed dialing memory is active, the following applies:
