Appendix I.
Configure PPP authentication
This only applies when using a mini-SIM instead if the embedded SIM.
If a SIM-card that requires PPP authentication is used, the PPP user and
password can be entered by doing the following:
1.
On a PC, make a text file with the name pppauth.txt with the
username on the first line and the password on the second
line. If for example the username is “User1”, and the
password is “password123”, write the following:
User1
password123
2.
Set the unit in USB mode and copy the file above to the root
of the SD-card.
3.
Reboot. This will configure the PPP username and password.
4.
When succeeded, the file is automatically removed from the
SD-card.
5.
When configured, the PPP username can be viewed in the
SIM information menu (from the main screen, press
COMM->ENTER->DOWN). The password length can also
be seen, but the actual password is hidden. Note that this
information is available first after an attempted connection.
Note!
To clear configured PPP authentication, follow the same steps but
do not write anything in the pppauth.txt file. If PPP authentication is not
configured, the fields “User” and “Pwd” will not be visible in the SIM
information menu (see step 5 above).
