Auto SIM PIN validation
The Auto SIM PIN validation feature allows the EXPLORER 540 to automatically send the PIN
to the SIM at power up. This enables the SIM to be PIN locked (to prevent unauthorised re-use
of the SIM elsewhere), while still allowing the EXPLORER 540 to connect to the BGAN network
without using a PIN.
When this feature is enabled, the PIN you enter when setting the Auto SIM PIN validation
feature is encrypted and stored locally in the EXPLORER 540. The next time the EXPLORER 540
restarts, the terminal decrypts the PIN and automatically sends it to the SIM without user
intervention.
To set up the Auto SIM PIN validation feature, do as follows:
1. Under Advanced, select SIM.
Note
The SIM PIN must be enabled before you can use this feature. See To enable or
disable the use of a SIM PIN on page 64.
