4.14 To enter the SIM PIN in the web interface

Note
4.14.1 Do you need a SIM PIN?
You may not have to enter a SIM PIN to access the terminal. This depends on whether
or not the use of a SIM PIN is enabled on your SIM card and whether or not the Auto SIM
PIN validation is used. The administrator can enable and disable the use of a SIM PIN
and set up Auto SIM PIN validation. For details, see
• To enable or disable the use of a SIM PIN on page 4-31
• Auto SIM PIN validation on page 4-32
If a computer is connected when you start up the terminal, you can access the web
interface and enter the SIM PIN here.
Important
4.14.2 To enter the SIM PIN
If your SIM card requires a PIN and the PIN has not yet been entered, you must enter it
before you can make calls or access the Internet. Until you have entered the PIN you
cannot access the network, but you can still configure your terminal. To enter the PIN,
do as follows:
1. Access the web interface.
If the terminal needs a PIN, a popup window tells you to enter PIN.
2. Type in your PIN and click OK.
When pointing is completed and the correct PIN is entered, you are ready to make calls
or access the Internet.
4.14.3 To cancel the SIM PIN
If you select Cancel when you are asked for a PIN, you can use the web interface as
normal, but you will not be able to access the network to make calls or data sessions.
To enter the PIN later, after canceling the first time, do as follows:
1. From the icon bar at the top, click
2. Click Resolve next to Enter PIN for BGAN or Enter PIN for cellular modem.
3. Type in your PIN and click OK.

Whether you are using the BGAN network or a cellular network, you need a
SIM card to access the network. The BGAN SIM card is inserted in the terminal
and if you are using the EXPLORER 540 Cellular Modem the SIM card is
inserted in the modem.
The method for entering the PIN is the same for both types of network.
If your EXPLORER 540 is used in an unmanned M2M system, you will
normally not be able to enter a PIN code. In this case we strongly
recommend enabling Auto SIM PIN validation in the web interface
before using the system. See Auto SIM PIN validation on page 4-32.
