SIM Security
If the SIM card is locked you will need to unlock it with a PIN provided with your SIM card.
You can find out if the SIM is locked by viewing the SIM Status on the Status page:
If the SIM Status is "SIM PIN" as above then do the following:
1.
Click on the "Internet Settings" menu at the top of the page and then the "SIM Security" item from the WWAN (3G)
menu item on the right.
2.
Enter the PIN code in the "PIN" field and then enter it again in the "Confirm PIN" field to confirm the PIN code.
Note: You can also select to "Remember PIN" so that entering the PIN code each time the SIM is inserted is not required.
Alternatively you can also disable SIM PIN protection by selecting to "Disable PIN" from the "PIN Protection"
drop down menu.
3.
Click Save.
Enter PUK
After three incorrect attempts at entering the PIN code, you are requested to enter a PUK code.
Note: You will need to contact your 3G provider to obtain this number.
Your carrier will issue you a PUK code to enable you to unlock the SIM and enter a new PIN code. Enter the new PIN and PUK
codes and click Save.
Remember PIN
This feature allows the router to automatically send the PIN to the SIM each time the SIM asks for it (usually at power up).
This enables the SIM to be PIN Locked (to prevent unauthorised re-use of the SIM elsewhere), while still allowing the router to
connect to the cellular service.
When this feature is enabled the PIN entered by the user when they set the "Remember PIN" feature is encrypted and stored locally
in the router. The next time the SIM asks the router for the PIN the router decrypts the PIN and automatically sends it to the SIM
without user intervention.
When this feature is disabled and the SIM is PIN locked, the PIN must be manually entered via the router's configuration interface.
This is clearly not desirable where the router is unattended.
