Some operators block user SIM cards after a period of inactivity. The <b>SIM Idle Protection</b> tab provides you with the possibility to configure the router to periodically switch to the secondary SIM card and establish a data connection with a mobile network operator in order to break the idleness and prevent the SIM card from being blocked.

The test takes about 2 minutes, so make sure the router isn't doing anything important before you start the test because during it you will lose connectivity. It is very important to <b>wait for the test to finish before commiting any actions</b>. Commiting actions on the router during test phase you may cause the router to crash.
