Config 1: PIN Code
PIN code (4 digits) is used to unlock
Protector’s SIM card, unless you are
using a SIM card in which the PIN
code is disabled. Default value for PIN
code is 0000. Replace the value with
your own PIN code, or leave the field
blank if the PIN code has been
disabled. If the PIN code is defined
incorrectly, you won’t be able to turn
on your Protector. After three failed
attempts, the SIM card will be blocked.
If your SIM card gets blocked, you
need a PUK code (8 digits) to open it.
Remove the SIM card for Protector
and install it into a phone compatible
with your SIM card. When trying to
open the phone, it will prompt you for
the PUK code. After entering the PUK
code, key in a new PIN code. You can
then install the SIM card back to
Protector. If you fail to key in the correct
PUK code 10 times in a row, your SIM
card will be permanently blocked. If this
happens, contact your network operator
to get a new SIM card.
Config 2: ID
You can define identification for your
Protector. This code may contain both
numbers and letters, and it is case
sensitive. Default value for the ID code
is: Protector. Config 3: Security code
Security code is used when

different features. The security code
consists of 4 digits. Default security
code is 0000.

as allowing automatic answer for
incoming call. As default all incoming
calls are allowed and they ring.
Note if white list is in use handling
calls or calls and SMS’s it will

Config 5.Translate header
Translate header defines whether
special characters (? and !) in the
beginning of SMS based MPTP
messages are replaced by letters or not.
The replacement is necessary with
some mobile phone operator systems
(e.g. Russian and China). If Translate
header is set active the question mark
(?) in the beginning of MPTP requests is
replaced by the letter Q. The
exclamation mark (!) in the beginning of
MPTP updates and replies is replaced
by the letter E.
Unselecting restores the original settings
for MPTP messages. Question mark (?)
is used in the beginning of requests, and
exclamation mark (!) is used as the start
character for replies and updates.
Default value for Translate header is
inactive. Note that to use Protector with
TWIG Discovery Pro, or some other
back-end devices, you need to make
sure that Translate header is
configured correspondingly also in the
other device. If MPTP message start
character is configured differently in
the other device, sending and
receiving MPTP messages from
Protector is not possible.
