SIM:
PIN code
: if you wish to use PIN code management, enter in this section the PIN code of the SIM
card installed into the device. Otherwise disable PIN code request on the SIM card. If the wrong
PIN code has been entered, the device will try the code only once each time the code is changed
in the settings and PIN code error message will be shown in the system logs. If the wrong code is
configured 3 times consecutively, the SIM card will reach the PUK code request stage. In this case
install the SIM card into a cellphone, unlock the card by entering the PUK code when requested,
and configure the valid PIN code in the device settings.
APN
: the APN name necessary to connect to the Internet. (ask this from the GSM service provider
of the SIM card installed into the device). If no APN is configured, the device will not be able to
connect to the Internet and thereby it cannot operate.
APN user name
: necessary only if the GSM service provider provides this and requires its usage
for the given APN.
APN password
: necessary only if the GSM service provider provides this and requires its usage
for the given APN.
Network selection
: mobile network management is automatic by default in the device. If you
experience problems with the stability of the mobile network in the given location, i.e. the device
switches frequently from one network to another, you can select manually the network you wish
to use.
Available options:
Automatic
: the device will select the network automatically.
2G only
: use 2G (GPRS) network only.
3G only
: use 3G (UMTS) network only
4G only
: use 4G (LTE) network only
3G network usage is supported by the 3G(A).IN4.R1 and the 4G(A).IN4.R1 model of the
ecoLINE PRO only! 4G network usage is supported by the 4G(A).IN4.R1 model only!
Operator selection
: using this drop-down menu, you can select a mobile operator available with
the given SIM card. For getting the list of available operators,
choose the “
Search…
” option in the
drop-down menu, which will start the operator search. In order to perform the operator search,
the device will restart the modem and will reconnect to the mobile network. The search process
may take up to 3 minutes. The end of the process will be indicated by a pop-up message, after
which the list of available operators will be updated automatica
lly in the “
Operator selection
”
drop-down menu according to the search results.
If you select and set an operator, the device will use solely
the selected operator’s network.
Please note that the search may also result operators which are not supported by your SIM card.
If you accidentally select an unsupported operator, the device will use the default operator chosen
automatically.
In the list of available operators the program will
indicate which networks (2G/3G/4G) of the given
operators are available with the given SIM card, in
the given location and with the given product model
(it depends on the type of the modem).
Attention! 2G modems are not capable to identify
these networks, therefore this information is not
available in the product model equipped with a 2G
modem.
The default setting is the “
Automatic
”, i.e.
the device will automatically choose the operator preferred by the given SIM card.
