Operations Manager has been available for some time with support for two SIM
cards/slots, whereby, it is possible designate which SIM slot is the Active SIM that
is normally used by the device for OOB communications (in Automatic failover
mode this SIM is termed the Primary SIM). The secondary SIM is used as a failover
SIM. This feature increases the reliability of the OOB solution by providing redund-
ant Out-Of-Band access over a cellular connection.
Note: The terminology changes when SIM Failover policy is switched from
Manual to Automatic. In Manual failover mode the active SIM is designated
ACTIVE, whereas in Automatic failover mode the active SIM is designated
PRIMARY.
With the Dual SIM feature activated, in the event of a failure of OOB com-
munications through the Active SIM, it is possible to manually de-select the failed
SIM and activate the secondary SIM by making it the Active SIM. This changeover
allows OOB communications to resume through the newly designated Active SIM.
