Change impact
Risk assessment
  • The loss of device logs upon utilizing the reset button may disrupt operational records and slow down subsequent troubleshooting efforts.
  • Failure to set up the SIM PIN post-reset via the reset button may result in SIM card lockout due to repeated incorrect PIN entries, causing service disruption and requiring either SIM replacement or PIN reset.
  • The device is still visible in RMS post-reset but cannot be accessed. Therefore, re-adding the device to RMS is necessary for continued access.
