Activate SIM Security
You can create another level of security by establishing a PIN that you must enter before
you can manage the network connection or view SMS messages.
To activate SIM security:
1. From a computer or Wi-Fi device that is connected to the mobile hotspot, launch a
web browser.
2.
Enter http://mywebui.net/ or http://192.168.1.1/.
The mobile hotspot web page displays.
3. Enter the administrator login password.
The default Admin Login is different for each AC797 device. See the label under the
battery. The password is case-sensitive.
The home page displays.
4. Select Settings > Network > SIM Security.
The SIM Security page displays.
5. Click the Activate button.
6. Enter your PIN and click the Save button.
If you enter an incorrect PIN three times, the SIM is blocked. If the SIM is blocked,
contact your network service provider to receive a PUK number to unblock the SIM.
Enable Port Forwarding
If your computer is hosting a server, you can enable port forwarding so that other users
can access the server. With port forwarding, incoming traffic is forwarded to specific
ports and devices on your network using their local IP addresses.
Note: Port forwarding creates a security risk. When not required, leave port forwarding
disabled.
