General

The General section is used to configure the SIM card parameters that define how the device establishes connection and uses other, mobile related, useful features.

Blacklist - operators contained in the blacklist are considered forbidden and your device will not attempt to connect to them even if they are available. Whitelist - operators contained in the whitelist will be the only operators that the device will be trying to connect to. Other operators that are not in the whitelist will be considered forbidden.

SIM switch

In SIM switch section you can configure SIM switching rules, i.e., set up circumstances under which the device will perform a switch from using one SIM card to the other. Refer to the figure and table below for information.

Network operators

The Network operators tab provides you with the possibility to scan for and manually manage mobile network operators to which the device's SIM card can connect to. Operator selection is only available for the primary SIM card. In order to specify an operator for the other SIM card it must first be selected as the primary SIM in the SIM Management section.

Operators scan settings

As default Connection mode is set to AUTO, although to initiate a scan, select connection mode Manual, press Scan for operators and then you will be prompted with a pop-up asking if you wish to proceed. This is because while the scan is in progress you will lose your data connection for up to 3 minutes.

In order to configure a specific band, simply select which one you want to use and press Save & Apply

Operators list

The Operators list section is used for creating a blacklist or whitelist for undesired or desired operators. In order to create a list, enter a Name and click ADD.

In order to configure it, click Edit. Refer to the figure and table below for information.

field name	value	description
Operators lsit name	Default:	Name of operators list

Important: be mindful when using the Operators list function as it very easy to block yourself from the right operators and lose your data connection.
