4.6.1 PPP Client
The W3x terminals include a PPP client for WAN access. For
authentication both the PAP and CHAP protocols are supported.
4.6.2 PPP Authentication Type
This feature enables the possibility to change the authentication protocol
(CHAP or PAP) when authentication against the cellular network is done
using a RADIUS server.
4.7 Security
The basic security feature of the W3x terminals are the same as any GSM
phone, using a PIN code that comes with the subscription SIM card. The
PIN code is simply entered via the WUI or via phone handset (only W35).
To simplify usage, the W3x terminals have an auto PIN feature that
requires the PIN code only to be entered the first time the unit is used or
upon changing the SIM card.
Additionally the W3x terminals provide security features that prevent
unauthorized use of the SIM card and the unit, which can be customized if
required.
4.7.1 PIN Lock
This feature locks the SIM card to a unique unit by changing the PIN code
to a new random value. As a result, the SIM card cannot be used in another
terminal unless the PUK code is known.
4.7.2 Operator Lock
This feature allows for the use of SIM cards in the terminal that meet
specific criteria. This would normally be configured to allow only a specific
operator or group of operators SIM cards.
The W3x terminals can be locked to only accept SIM cards based on one
or more of the following:
• Mobile Country Code (MCC)
• Mobile Network Code (MNC)
MCCs are defined in ITU E.212 (“Land Mobile Numbering Plan”) for use in
identifying mobile stations in wireless telephone networks. A MCC is often
used in combination with a Mobile Network Code (MNC) in order to
uniquely identify a network operator.
Both the MCC and MNC are part of the International Mobile Subscriber
Identity (IMSI) number, which uniquely identifies a particular subscriber,
and is stored on the SIM card.
From the WUI it is possible to enter a secret “Unlock Operator Lock” code
(which is a random code generated at production).
