Use this page to turn on automatic SIM switching, change the active SIM, or enter a SIM PIN.

NOTE: The SIM card in your FW3000 can be locked using a PIN. If the SIM card is locked, you must enter the PIN before connecting to the mobile network. Once entered, the PIN is remembered until the next shutdown. You may also need to provide the existing PIN to change a SIM. The default PIN is available from your service provider.

SIM Management

Turn ON Automatic SIM Switching: When enabled, the SIM is switched automatically if the active SIM is disconnected. When OFF, you can manually switch between SIMs and change SIM settings.

  If IP Passthrough is enabled, please wait 120 seconds for the SIM switching process to complete.
