PERSONALIZATION SERVICES
The personalization features store information in your computer and
check this information against the SIM/USIM whenever the Satellite IP
Modem is powered up or a SIM/USIM is inserted. If a check fails, the
modem enters the "limited service state" in which only emergency
calls can be attempted. You can enter depersonalization codes to
deactivate these checks and progress to normal mode.
The modem performs personalization checks after completion of
initialization and checking for the SIM PIN. The following types of
personalization services are available:
 Network Personalization: Allows the network operator to
personalize a modem so that it can only be used with that
particular network operator's SIM/USIMs;
 Network Subset Personalization: A refinement of network
personalization, which allows network operators to limit the
usage of a modem to a subset of SIM/USIMs;
 Service Provider (SP) Personalization: Allows the service
provider to personalize a modem so that it can only be used
with that particular service provider's SIM/USIMs;
 Corporate Personalization: Allows a corporate customer to
personalize modems that it provides for its employees or
customers use so that they can only be used with the
company's own SIM/USIMs;
 SIM/USIM Personalization: Enables a user to personalize a
piece of mobile equipment so that it may only be used with
particular SIM/USIM(s).
