Chapter 9: Troubleshooting
9 Troubleshooting
In this chapter, you will find suggestions and assistance for a few common dif- ficulties.
9.1PIN Handling
Depending on the configuration, a LANCOM with UMTS/HSPDA function and an inserted data card tries to establish a connection to the Internet immedi- ately after being switched on. For this purpose, the PIN saved in the configu- ration of the device is transferred to the SIM card in the data card to enable the connection to an UMTS/HSPDA or GPRS net.
As soon as an incorrect PIN is stored in the configuration, the device transmits this invalid PIN to the SIM card. After three unsuccessful attempts, most cards are automatically locked and can only be reinstated by entering an additional number (depending on the provider PIN2 or PUK).
Whenever a device is set to automatically establish a connection to the Inter- net, three attempts with an invalid PIN may be performed within a few sec- onds without the user noticing. To prevent this, a LANCOM with the UMTS/ HSPDA function disables further attempts as soon as the device makes an attempt to establish a connection to the Internet with an invalid PIN. LANmonitor displays this condition with the error message 'The PIN is invalid':
