Overview
Depending on your SIM card, you may have to enter a SIM PIN to use the
system. You can enter the PIN using a standard phone or ISDN phone, the IP
handset or the web interface.
For information on how to connect the IP handset or computer you are going
to use, see Connecting a computer to the LAN interface on page 25 or
Connecting the IP handset on page 24.
Entering the PIN using a phone or IP handset
To enter the PIN
If you have a phone connected to the terminal, you can use it to enter the PIN
at start up.
Do as follows:
• For an analog or ISDN phone:
Pick up the phone. When the terminal is waiting for a PIN, you will hear 2
beeps - pause - 2 beeps - etc.
Dial <PIN> followed by #.
When you hear a “busy” tone or a dialing tone, the PIN has been accepted
and you can hang up or dial a number.
• For an IP handset:
Select the BGAN menu, select Enter PIN and enter the user name and
password for the terminal. Then enter the PIN for the terminal.
Note that the menu item “Enter PIN” is only available if the terminal is
waiting for a PIN.
