3.1 - SIM Card overview
3.1.1 - Overview
A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM), widely known as a SIM Card, is an integrated circuit that is intended to store the securely: IMSI number and its related key, ICCID, security authentication and ciphering information, temporary information related to the local network, a list of APN Services and two passwords: PIN and PUK for PIN unlocking.
The Enterprise Portal monitors and manages the SIM Cards of Accounts and Sub- Accounts. It is possible to:
- Change SIM Card Price Plans
- Assign SIM Card(s) to different levels of the Account Hierarchy
- Set Billing Status
- Set the Network Status
- Set the Logistic Status
- Send SMS to a SIM Card(s)
3.1.2 - Modify the SIM View using the Context Switch
Switching between accounts, where available.
The SIM Cards displayed in the SIM Grid can be restricted by selecting a different context in the organization hierarchy. Only the SIM Cards of the selected level and those below are visible.
CMP supports two types of context switching: horizontal and vertical switching.
- Horizontal switching allows the User to change their active context to another of their own contexts (i.e., another context to which they have access), thereby switching access to objects belonging to the target context, provided the target context's validated Effective User Rights do not restrict it. In the event of horizontal context switching, the User's Effective User Rights are automatically recalculated based on the target context.
- Vertical switching allows the User to change their active context to a context one level below their own context(s), thereby switching access to objects belonging to the target context, provided the Effective User Rights carried over from the higher source context do not restrict it. Note that in the event of vertical context switching, the User's Effective User Rights are not recalculated.
In the context switch, CMP lists all Parent Accounts alphabetically. If any Sub- Accounts have been created for any Accounts, a list of those Sub-Accounts is displayed below the relevant Account.
3.1.3 - Suspended Accounts
Active and Suspended Accounts are both visible in the Enterprise Portal, however, only Admin Users can access suspended Accounts.
Note:
Suspended Accounts are distinguished from active Accounts by a *SUSPENDED* suffix.
Account Users cannot access Suspended Accounts and will be presented with an error message when trying to access suspended Accounts.
Furthermore, in case the Account User doesn't have access to at least one active Account (i.e. an Account in ACCOUNT status) the User's access to the Enterprise Portal will be completely blocked.
