2.  Insert the SIM card into the socket 
For security reasons use SIM card with private IP address. Using 
SIM card with public IP address makes the device visible on the 
internet, exposing it to much higher security risk. 
 
Mobile  connectivity  of  the  device  can  be  ensured  by  using  a 
proper SIM card: 
•  There  must  be  a  mobile  internet  subscription  associated 
with the SIM card. 
•  SIM card must be activated by the mobile operator. 
•  Use 2FF mini SIM card size. 
•  SIM  card  must  be  inserted  with  the  proper  direction. 
(as seen on the picture below) 
•  PIN code must be disabled. 
•  For security reasons use SIM card with private IP address. 
•  The  selected  provider  must  not  have  APN  username  and 
password. 
•  APN setting of the device must set to the value got from the 
mobile operator to the SIM card.
