Select the export to PDF (), export to CSV () or print () buttons to export or print the information displayed on the page.

The following table describes the fields displayed in the Network settings report.

Field   Description
ICCID

Integrated Circuit Card Identifier. Unique identifier (up to 20 characters in length) for a SIM or SIM profile (when using an eUICC SIM).

  Status

The current SIM state:

  • Available
  • Pending Provision
  • Active
  • Suspended
  • Pending Termination
  • Terminated

For more information, see Understanding the SIM lifecycle.

If the SIM status is available, the Change State button is not displayed.

  Change State

Select to display the SIM Change State dialog where you can change the state of the SIM from Active to Suspended or Terminated.

This dialog does not allow you to change the state once a SIM is suspended or terminated.

Attribute
  IMSI

The unique International Mobile Subscriber Identity number that identifies a cellular network subscriber. The network operator that provided the IMSI uses it to authenticate a SIM (and the IoT device containing the SIM) on the network.

If the SIM has multiple IMSIs, each is displayed as a new row (attribute) in this table.

  MSISDN 

Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number. Unique identifier for a mobile phone number that includes an international country code and a national destination code identifying the subscriber’s operator.

For SIMs with multiple IMSIs, one MSISDN is designated as the primary MSISDN.

For IoT devices that support receiving instructions via SMS, you must use the primary MSISDN when sending MT SMS messages from your mobile phone or when using the SMS API.

  IP Address

One or more IPv4 addresses associated with the IMSI.

When using regionalised routing, this table displays multiple IP addresses for the same IMSI, where each IP address corresponds to either the:

  • Home data centre – the data centre at which the operator's network terminates.
  • Local data centre – a region-specific data centre based on proximity to devices on the operator's network.

    Internet traffic is normally egressed onto the internet from the data centre connected to the operator. This means that the source IP address may change if the device is routed from a different data centre.

When Eseye use OTA messages to switch IMSIs or profiles, the IP address will change because the Eseye data centres that assign the IP addresses use different IP address ranges for each operator.

Contract settings

To display the settings for a SIM, on the SIM List page menu, select next to the chosen SIM.

Select the export to PDF (), export to CSV () or print () buttons to export or print the information displayed on the page.

Field Description

Enter Payload

Specify the text to send to the SIM via SMS or USSD.

Send via SMS

Select to send the payload (defined above) to the device via a test SMS message.

Send via USSD

Select to send the payload (defined above) to the device via a test USSD message.

ICMP Ping

Select to perform an ICMP ping.

Cancel Location

Select to remove the subscriber from the HLR using the location cancellation procedure defined in sections 3.6.1.3 and 4.2 in 3GPP TS 23.012. This causes a failure in the next attempt (by the modem in the device) to send data, which typically causes the device firmware to restart the connection.

Restarting the connection can be useful if you suspect the firmware or modem are in an unusual state, or to terminate data sessions. For example, if an operator API gateway does not support RADIUS packet of disconnect (PoD) messages, the cancel location procedure can terminate the data session between the device and the operator API gateway.

To display the settings for a SIM, on the SIM List menu, select next to the chosen SIM. This displays the SIM Audit Log page in a dialog.

The SIM Audit Log displays a record of every action taken, and change made, to all SIMs associated with the selected SIM.
