Equipment
Identity (IMEI)
The IMEI allows defective or stolen equipment to be barred from using the GSM network.
The IMEI number is unique to each Enfora Enabler-G module. It reveals the manufacturer, the
country of production, and the type approval facility. When the Enfora Enabler-G module is
powered on and tries to register with the GSM network, the network provider checks the IMEI. If
the IMEI is valid and has not been barred, the Enfora Enabler-G module is allowed to register with
the network.
