This week we will focus on the security features of the Unimax router. These security features have been added in the product after consultation and feedback from our customers. These features not only add that extra level of security but provide the confidence that the modem can not be interrogated for any network credentials in case of theft or loss.

Sim Pin Code: This new feature that has been added for customers concerned about unauthorised use of SIM card in any other device then that intended for. Unimax now allows leaving the pin code activated/enabled on the SIM Card. On power up, Unimax can be configured to enter the PIN code automatically pre set by the user in the web interface. The PIN code entry does not disable the PIN request but allows the modem to successfully log on to the network until next power down sequence. On power up the PIN code entry sequence is repeated by the modem. If the SIM card is removed from the modem and inserted in to another device, User will have to enter the SIM PIN code in order to make any voice or data calls. 3 incorrect PIN code entries will lock the SIM card and require PUK code from wireless provider to unlock the SIM.

Web Page settings: Another feature that is handy for customers who are concerned about illegal access of the web page settings inside the Unimax via the internet or WAN connection. Under Systems menu, a new option has been added called Unimax Admin login. Enabling this feature will reset all web page settings including network authentication credentials in case of 3 consecutive incorrect login attempts. The modem will reset all settings to factory default. In case of loss of settings SMS can be used to reconfigure username, password and authentication details if the modem is located remotely.
