GSM SETTINGS
When the Active Carrier supports GSM (UTMS), fields on this page are enabled. A specific band of operation can be
chosen, status of the SIM is displayed, and PIN settings associated with the SIM can be cleared or set.
One of the key features of GSM is the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), commonly known as SIM card. The SIM is a
detachable smart card containing the user’s subscription information. This allows the user to retain his or her
information when switching handsets or wireless devices, independent of which handset or wireless device they are
using. The SIM has a security feature which, when enabled, requires the user to enter a valid PIN before the modem
will connect to the cellular network.

valid) and PIN (whether a PIN has been entered and PIN security enabled).
