[CG522-E] PIN code configuration

Hello,

 

I am testing Cellular Gateway 5G (CG522-E) with a 5G SIM card that need a PIN code.

How can I configure the PIN code of the SIM card on the CG522-E ?

The online configuration documentation for CG522-E is light and I cannot find this information.

 

Best Regards

 

David

Thanks good to know.

So then your only option is to put the SIM in a phone or something else where you can turn off the PIN and then put the SIM back in the gateway.

Try looking for commands similar to older products & IOS:

Thank rrundlig for your help but the CLI of the Cellular Gateway is quite different than other LTE devices (NIM on ISR4K or ISR1K).

CellularGateway# cellular 1 ?
Possible completions:
firmware-activate modem-at-commands modem-radio-reset
modem-reset upgrade

Then you might be able to do it using modem AT commands since that is one of the options you have.  It's going back a long way but they were commonly used when the GSM standard first emerged.

Try those suggested at: https://iot-developer.thalesgroup.com/threads/unlock-sim-require-pin-code

"You use AT command AT+CPIN.
AT+CPIN=<code>

you can also use AT commands to disable pin usage. Most SIM cards support this
at+cpin?
+CPIN: READY //enter SIM PIN
OK
at+clck="SC",2
+CLCK: 1 //query SIM PIN status 0 = sim pin disabled
OK
at+clck="SC",0,"1111" //disable sim pin usage
OK"

 

Thanks again rrudling.

 

The AT command AT+CPIN="pin-code" is correctly accepted but the SIM card status stays in "pin sim" status.

 

According Cisco, the PIN code configuration is not possible today on the Cellular Gateway and will be available in a future release.
