Auto SIM PIN validation
The Auto SIM PIN validation feature allows the EXPLORER 323 to automatically send the PIN
to the SIM at power up. This enables the SIM to be PIN locked (to prevent unauthorized re-use
of the SIM elsewhere), while still allowing the EXPLORER 323 to connect to the BGAN network
without using a PIN.
When this feature is enabled, the PIN you enter when setting the Auto SIM PIN validation
feature is encrypted and stored locally in the EXPLORER 323. The next time the EXPLORER 323
restarts, the terminal decrypts the PIN and automatically sends it to the SIM without user
intervention.
To set up the Auto SIM PIN validation feature, do as follows:
1. Under
Advanced
, select
SIM
.
2. Select
Auto SIM PIN validation
.
3. Select
Automatically validate SIM PIN on startup
.
4. Type in the PIN.
5. Click

SIM lock
The SIM lock feature can be used by suppliers to lock your SIM card to a specific provider or
distribution partner. For further information, contact your supplier.
To save or load a configuration
If you need to reuse a configuration in other terminals of the same type, you can save your
current configuration to a file, which can then be loaded into the other terminal(s).
To save a configuration to a file
To save the current configuration of your EXPLORER 323 to a file on your computer, do as
follows:
Note
The SIM PIN must be enabled before you can use this feature. See
Note
If the SIM PIN is changed either using the web interface or AT commands, the Auto
SIM PIN validation feature is disabled and must be reenabled manually.
Note
If the SIM card is replaced without disabling the Auto SIM PIN validation feature, and
the first verification of the SIM PIN fails, the Auto SIM PIN validation feature will
disable itself to avoid locking the SIM card.
Note
Be aware that if the terminals have different software versions, some of the settings
may be different than expected. If possible, use the same software version in the
terminals.
