9. Using the GL61x0 with Embedded

SIM

Both GL61x0 variants may be used with either Embedded SIM or an external SIM. This section
discusses the different maintenance options available when using the GL61x0 with Embedded SIM.

9.1.

Operation

Using a communication software such as HyperTerminal, enter

AT+CPIN?

to check if Embedded SIM

is working. Refer to the table below for the list of main response returned.

Table 36:

AT+CPIN Main Response

AT+CPIN Response

Description

+CPIN: READY

Embedded SIM is working

If you can’t access the network, Embedded SIM might not be activated on the operator’s network.

9.2.

Switching Between Embedded SIM and an
External SIM

Using a communication software such as HyperTerminal, enter

AT+WHCNF

to switch between using

Embedded SIM or an external SIM. Refer to the following table for the list of

AT+WHCNF

parameters

that can be used and their corresponding description.

Table 37:

AT+WHCNF SIM Selection

AT+WMBS Command

Description

AT+WHCNF=4,0

To specify that an external SIM is preferred.

AT+WHCNF=4,1

To specify that only the external SIM will be used.

AT+WHCNF=4,2

To specify that only Embedded SIM will be used

Note:

The GL61x0 must be rebooted after the switch state update before changes are applied.
