Appendix K.
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).
