5. Security Commands
The AT Commands described in this chapter allow the external application to determine various security related
settings.
5.1 AT+CPIN PIN Authentication
AT+CPIN
controls network authentication of the MC55.
The read command returns an alphanumeric string indicating whether or not network authentication is required.
The write command allows the MC55 to store the entered password. This may be for example the SIM PIN1 to
register to the GSM network, or the SIM PUK1 to replace a disabled SIM PIN1 with a new one, or the PH-SIM
PIN if the client has taken precautions for preventing damage in the event of loss or theft etc.
If no PIN1 request is pending (for example if PIN1 authentication has been done and the same PIN1 is entered
again) MC55 responds "+CME ERROR: operation not allowed"; no further action is required.
Each time a password is entered with
AT+CPIN
the module starts reading data from the SIM. The duration of
reading varies with the SIM card. This may cause a delay of several seconds before all commands which need
access to SIM data are effective. See Section 20.1 , Restricted access to SIM data after SIM PIN authentication
for further detail.
