Mobile Broadband
The Mobile Broadband screen provides a superset of parameters used to refine
connection, security, and other mobile broadband-related rules.
Lock Code is a security setting for the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), an
integrated circuit installed on your mobile broadband card that contains user and
account information. Many GSM-network-based mobile broadband cards are
provisioned with a Personal Identification Number (PIN), locking user access to
the mobile broadband card and service. When you insert (or connect) a mobile
broadband card and/or launch the DCP Connection Manager application, you
may be required to enter a PIN provided by your mobile operator.
Mobile operators frequently limit the number of incorrectly entered PIN
attempts from three (3) to ten (10). Failure to enter a correct PIN within the
number of permitted attempts locks the mobile broadband card. If the mobile
broadband card locks, you can re-enable the PIN mechanism by entering a
Personal Unblocking Key (PUK). Contact your mobile operator to receive the
PUK. After entering a correct PUK, you can reset the PIN.
NOTE: The Lock Code and Network Selection controls are visible only if your mobile
operator is GSM-network-based.
