# Use the SIM control panel

To send a test SMS, test USSD, or ICMP ping to the SIM, on the SIM List page menu, select ![](https://3470471310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2pbiEZepRfUhnzoMb7nU%2Fuploads%2FTV7yizn0hRUNNjdDoYMJ%2Finfinityclassic-0084-SimActionIconControl_24x24.png?alt=media) next to the chosen SIM.

| Cancel Location | Select to remove the subscriber from the [HLR](/anynet-sim/how-anynet-sims-work/about-the-home-location-register-hlr.md) using the location cancellation procedure defined in sections 3.6.1.3 and 4.2 in [3GPP TS 23.012](https://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/23012.htm). 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](/glossary/glossary.md) packet of disconnect (PoD) messages, the cancel location procedure can terminate the data session between the device and the operator API gateway. |
| SIM Timeline    | Select to display a timeline of SIM activity for all IMSIs related to the ICCID.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.eseye.com/infinity-classic/manage-your-sim-estate/sim-actions/use-the-sim-control-panel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
