To enter the SIM PIN in the web interface
Do you need a SIM PIN?
If a computer is connected when you start up the terminal, you can access the web interface
and enter the SIM PIN here.
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.
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 cancelling the first time, do as follows:
Note
Whether you are using the BGAN network or a cellular network, you need a SIM card
to access the network. If you are using BGAN, the SIM is inserted in the terminal and if
you are using the EXPLORER 540 LTE Modem the SIM card is inserted in the modem.
The method for entering the PIN is the same for both types of network.
Note
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 79
• Auto SIM PIN validation on page 79
Important
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 79.
