A field technician is onboarding a fleet of corporate smartphones into a mobile device management (MDM) portal. During cellular profile provisioning, the technician attempts to whitelist the devices on the carrier network by entering the 15-digit numerical code printed on the physical SIM cards into the MDM's hardware inventory system. Consequently, cellular data access and carrier activation fail across all deployed handsets, despite each device showing a full cellular signal. Which of the following root causes best explains this failure, and what is the correct action to resolve the issue?
- The technician recorded the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) instead of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI); update the portal with the device's hardware IMEI.Cevap
- BThe technician recorded the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) instead of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI); reconfigure the cellular profile to authenticate using the handset's MAC address.
- CThe cellular network interface reverted to an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address; release and renew the DHCP lease on the carrier radio interface.
- DThe device mail synchronization service was configured using POP3 instead of IMAP; update the account server settings to utilize port 110 over the mobile network.
Cevap
The technician recorded the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) instead of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). Entering the device's unique hardware IMEI into the portal will resolve the cellular activation failure.
The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique 15-digit serial number used by cellular networks to identify specific physical mobile devices. When provisioning and whitelisting mobile hardware within an MDM or cellular portal, the IMEI of the handset must be registered. The code printed on the physical SIM card is associated with the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) or Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID), which identifies the subscriber account rather than the mobile hardware itself.
