A SIMcard can be locked if any user tries to set an invalid PINfor the SIMcard too many times. In
addition, some cellular carriers require a SIMPINto be added before the SIMcard can be used. If the
SIMcard is locked, the TransPort device cannot make a cellular connection.
The show cellular command indicates whether a SIMcard is set to a locked state. In the show cellular
output, look for the fields SIM1PIN status, SIM2 PINstatus, and SIMstatus. For example:
digi.router> show cellular

Command line
Unlocking a SIMcard can be performed from the command line interface only.
1. To unlock the SIMcard, use the unlock command to set a new PINfor the SIM card using the
following command syntax:
unlock <sim1 | sim2> <puk code> <new sim pin>
Where:
<sim1 | sim2> indicates whether the SIMcard to unlock is in the SIM1 or SIM2 SIMcard slot.
<puk code> is the code to unlock the SIM card. The PUKcode can be between 8 and 10 digits
long.
<new sim pin> is the new PINfor the SIM card. This PINcan be between 4 and 8 digits long.
Using this parameter changes the PIN for the SIM card to a new value.
For example:
To unlock a SIMcard in SIMslot SIM1 with PUK code 12345678, and set the new SIM PIN to
1234:
digi.router> unlock sim1 12345678 1234
When the command operations are complete, the unlock command displays one of the
