Entering the SIM PIN using a phone or IP handset
To enter the SIM PIN
If you have a phone connected to the terminal, you can use it to enter the SIM PIN
for the terminal at start up.
Do as follows:
• For an analog phone:
Pick up the phone. When the terminal is waiting for a PIN, you will hear 2 beeps
- pause - 2 beeps - etc.
Dial <PIN> followed by #.
When you hear a "busy" tone or a dialing tone, the PIN has been accepted and
you can hang up or dial a number.
• For the IP handset:
Select the BGAN menu, select Enter PIN and enter the administrator user name
and password for the terminal (default: "admin" and "1234"). Then enter the
PIN for the terminal. Note that the menu item "Enter PIN" is only available if the
terminal is waiting for a PIN.
Wrong SIM PIN
Analog phone:
If, instead of the busy tone or dialing tone, you continue to hear 2 beeps - pause - 2
beeps - etc., it means the SIM PIN was not accepted. Check that you have the correct
PIN and try again.
If a wrong PIN has been entered three times in the terminal, you will hear 3 beeps -
pause - 3 beeps - etc. This means you have to enter the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key)
provided with your SIM card.
After entering the PUK, you must enter a new PIN of your own choice (4 to 8 digits
long).
Dial the following:
<PUK> * <New PIN> * <New PIN> followed by # or off-hook key.
