Overview

Use SIM (program #1618) to view, update, and define SIM card entries. Option ba320 controls the SIM Caller ID functionality that you will use to tie SIM card entries to panels. When a SIM entry matches a CID, SBN enters the GSM phone number into the Panel Phone in the CID entry. It also copies all of the SIM data into the SIM Phone tab in Data Entry. You can change SIM data in the SIM Phone tab. For more information, see the SIM Phone.

Five ATOM stored procedures import and maintain entries in this program. Use these APIs with large files of SIM entries provided by the cellular company to insert SIM card entries into the table. Please use the following procedures:
