Register an external device and a Digi SIM card

This process explains how to register a Digi-supplied SIM card that is inserted into a third-party (non-Digi) device. You should first register the Digi-supplied SIM card and then register the device. When both registrations are complete, you can review detailed information in Digi Axess about a particular SIM card and the device into which it is inserted.

Step 1: Register the SIM card in the third-party (non-Digi) device

  1. Log into Digi Axess.

  3. Click Register SIM Card.

  4. The Register SIM Card panel displays. In this pane you can register a SIM card that is inserted into a Digi device. Entries in both fields are required.
    • ICCID: Enter the SIM card's ICCID number.
    • Device Group: Enter the name of the device group to which this SIM card should be assigned. If you leave the field blank, the default device group associated with your user name is used.
