Activate a SIM card

Activate a SIM card

A new SIM card must be activated to connect to the ISP network. Activating a SIM card generally takes about 10 seconds to complete, but it might take minutes or longer in some rare cases.

The "set sim-activation-delay 300" command comes into play when a new SIM card fails to be activated within 10 seconds. It has a default value of 300 seconds to activate a SIM, and the configurable range is from 5 seconds to 600 seconds.

To activate a SIM card:
 FX201E5919000035 # config lte setting
    FX201E5919000035 (setting) # show
    config lte setting
        config controller-report
            set status disable
        end
        config modem1
            set cert-mode disable
            set default-sim sim1
            set session-down-detection 3
            set gps enable
            set sim1-pin disable
            set sim2-pin disable
            config auto-switch
                set by-disconnect disable
                set by-signal disable
                set by-data-plan disable
                set switch-back
            end
        end
        set advanced enable <==new, default is disable
        config advanced-settings <==new, display only when "set advanced enable"
            set sim-activation-delay 300 <==(5 - 600 sec, default = 300 sec)"
        end
    end
