CONFIGURING THE DCP
Avire App
The Avire App (available on Apple App store and Google play) allows installers to
quickly and intuitively setup/congure the DCP and connect to the Avire Hub. The Avire
App removes the need for conguration using SMS and instead walks you through the
connection process on your smart phone. The App is available at the links below:
Digit 1 Digit 2 Digit 3 Digit 4
Continent SIM0 Network Type of connection SIM1 Network
The Digital Communications Platform comes pre-congured with factory settings of 0000 (this
conguration doesn’t specify any use case or country).
P091 Digit 1 Digit 2 Digit 3 Digit 4

OPTION 2
If super settings are not used, then APN settings need to be set up manually:
Command Description
P060 (P zero six zero) APN address
P061 (P zero six one) APN username
P062 (P zero six two) APN password
P063 (P zero six three) Type of connection
These parameters must be congured by sending an SMS to the SIM card number.
Examples for various regional providers are shown below:
Carrier P060 P061 P062
Vodafone UK wap.vodafone.co.uk wap wap
DeutscheTelekom Telekom (blank) (blank)

Obtaining the CCID number
AVIRE SIM CARDS
Avire SIM cards come unlocked to be used with our products
immediately after plugging them in and setting correct Super settings.
You will need to know the CCID number to add this information to the
Avire Hub.
The CCID Number is shown on the back of the SIM card and also on the outer plastic
case of the SIM card (highlighted in red on the picture below).
Important Note: Make sure the complete CCID number is entered when adding the
DCP to the Avire Hub, or the DCP will not be able to communicate with the Hub.
NON-AVIRE SIM CARDS
It is also possible to retrieve the CCID number by sending a SMS command to a SIM
card telephone number; the command needs to be separated by a comma as shown
below:
Pin1234,P005?
You will receive a text with the CCID number back within a few minutes; in this example,
the number shown after “P005=” is the CCID number of this SIM card.
Important note: Example CCID number is highlighted in red on picture above.
You will need to retrieve the CCID number when the DCP installation is set up on the
Avire Hub online platform. Please make sure that if this installation is set up by the
oce, they know the details for installation.
