Manually Allocating & Configuring Communication Modules
If you didn’t yet run an Auto-Setting scan to allocate (“enable”) each installed
communication module, from the installer Programming menu, you can do so
manually, as well as configure its relevant parameters.
IMPORTANT: If an allocated communication module is no longer to be utilized,
you must disable it (cancel its allocation) via this manual process. After cancelling,
if needed, you can then re-write over it to newly allocate another communication
module.
NOTE: After manually programming communication modules, you can perform a
Bus Test (see Performing a Bus Test, page 31).

Entering or Deleting a SIM Card PIN

If a PIN is not needed, you can choose to disable it by inserting the SIM card in
a cell phone and disabling the code.
2. You can manually define APN definitions if you don’t have them configured
automatically (the default). See Defining APN Automatically and Manually,
page 33.
NOTE: It is recommended to test the operation of a SIM card by conducting a
call and testing the GSM signal strength. See Testing the System, page 53.
