3.3.5 SIM card
To establish a mobile communication connection, the mGuard also requires at least one
valid mini SIM card in ID-000 format, via which it assigns and authenticates itself to a mo-
bile network.
The mGuard rs4000/rs2000 3G can be equipped with two SIM cards. The SIM card in the
SIM 1 slot is the primary SIM card which is normally used to establish the connection. If this
connection fails, the device can optionally turn to the second SIM card in slot SIM 2. You can
set whether, and under which conditions, the connection to the primary SIM card is re-
stored.
The state of the SIM cards is indicated via two LEDs on the front. The LEDs SIM1 and SIM2
light up green when the SIM card is active. If a PIN has not been entered, the LED flashes
green.
Quality of the mobile network connection
The signal strength of the mobile network connection is indicated by three LEDs on the front
of the mGuard rs4000/rs2000 3G. The LEDs function as a bar graph (refer to "Bar graph" on
page 53).
For stable data transmission, we recommend at least good network reception. If the network
reception is only adequate, only SMS messages can be sent and received.
Inserting the SIM card
You will receive a SIM card from the wireless provider on which all data and services for your
connection are stored. If you use CDMA networks in the USA (e.g., from Verizon Wireless),
you will not receive a SIM card. Change the mGuard rs4000/rs2000 3G to a CDMA provider
via the web interface.
