Section 2: Initialization and Configuration

SIM PIN Configuration
If your SIM card has a PIN number established, the SIM PIN feature can be activated and
the PIN number entered. Use caution in entering the PIN number. The RTK Bridge will
test the PIN after it has been entered to confirm it is correct. The RTK Bridge will
attempt to avoid exceeding the maximum number of PIN attempts if an incorrect PIN has
been entered (for example, the SIM card has been swapped, but the PIN not updated). If
the maximum number of incorrect SIM PIN attempts has been exceeded it will be
necessary to contact the carrier to request a PUK code – in this case the SIM will need to
be removed and inserted into a mobile phone to complete the PUK code entry process.
APN, USERNAME, PASSWORD Configuration
GSM/GPRS/EDGE carriers require configuration of an APN (Access Point Name) and
sometimes a username and password field. These parameters are unique to each carrier
and must be configured before use. The Modem menu allows for configuration of these
parameters. Parameters for AT&T and T-Mobile are:
Carrier
Available APN
Name(s)
Username Password
AT&T
ISP.CINGULAR
WAP.CINGULAR
username password
T-Mobile

Table 2-1: GPRS/EDGE APN, Username, Password
Every GSM/GPRS/EDGE provider will have their own unique settings for APN,
Username and Password. These values can typically be found by searching the support
pages for the carrier, and alternatively various websites have accumulated lists of these
settings for carriers worldwide. Contact Intuicom for additional assistance locating the
appropriate APN for your carrier.
