SIM Card and Card Holder
Standard 3 V SIM cards may be used with the Arctic GPRS Router. A SIM
card holder is located on the back panel near the GPRS antenna connector. If
you have the PIN code query enabled, check that the Arctic Configurator has
a correct PIN code entered in the GPRS submenu. To operate with SIM card
follow the procedure below:
1. Power off the Arctic.
2. The SIM card holder contains a tray with a yellow eject button. Push this
button in order to eject the tray from the holder.
3. Put the SIM card onto the tray.
4. Insert the tray carefully back to the holder and press the tray until it is
locked.
Note!
The card should only be inserted or removed while the GSM module has been
placed in shutdown mode. The SIM card holder has a card detection circuit
that will in theory allow hot insertion and removal of the card. However, hot
insertion and removal are not recommended, since the SIM card content may
be corrupted if the card is removed while the GSM module is writing data to it.

Configuring Arctic's GPRS Settings
1. If your SIM card has the PIN code querying set, make sure you configure
the PIN code before inserting the card in the card holder. If PIN querying is
not set, you may proceed with the card installation procedure.
2. Connect to the Arctic and log in to Configurator.
3. Navigate to Network page from main navigation bar and select the GPRS
sub page. (Network -> GPRS).
4. Set the access point name appropriately (usually “INTERNET”) or
“operatorname.com”).
5. Set the GPRS network username and password appropriately if your
GPRS service requires authentication.
6. Set default route to enabled. With this setup, you are able for example to
browse the web.
