■
If your SIM card has the PIN code set, type the code into the PIN code
field.
■
PPP idle timeout defines the time in seconds how often the Arctic resets
the GPRS connection if the connection is idle.
■
ICMP Echo is used to monitor GPRS connection between Arctic and
a remote host. If the designated host cannot be reached the GPRS
connection is reset. This feature should be always enabled from
Network -> Monitor menu.

Figure 32. GPRS Settings
Reboot the Arctic for the settings to take effect. Check GPRS status from
Network/Summary Menu.
Note!
It is important to set the correct PIN code with the Arctic Configurator before
plugging the SIM card in. If an incorrect PIN is set and the PIN is required by
the SIM card, the Arctic will not retry with the wrong PIN, thus avoiding the
SIM card lock-up. In such a case, you will need to insert the SIM card to a
mobile phone and enter the correct PIN before continuing.
