Endpoint

Represents devices/SIMs

An Endpoint represents a SIM card. It is created in the platform when you activate a SIM card you have received. To activate a new SIM card and create an Endpoint, you will need the ICCID number and Activation Code which is printed on the SIM (or supplied with it).

An Endpoint is not useable until it has been assigned to an Endpoint Group, which has been configured appropriately. Once an Endpoint is assigned to a group, it is implicitly part of the Vslice where the group was created, and will be assigned an IP address from the subnet on the Vslice. This happens automatically if not configured otherwise.

Endpoint Provisioning States

Each endpoint is in one of a number of possible states:

IDStateMeaning
30pendingThe endpoint has been assigned to your account, but is not in a valid Endpoint Group or VSlice. It is not usable in this state.
50activeThe endpoint has been assigned to an Endpoint Group and VSlice. Subject to the Endpoint Group and VSlice configuration being valid, the endpoint is usable
60suspendedThe endpoint has been temporarily disabled - it cannot be used until the status has been changed to 'active'.
70terminatedThe endpoint has been permanently terminated and cannot be re-used. This could cover the scenario when a physical SIM is lost or stolen or an e-SIM is not longer fit for service. Depending on circumstances, it may be possible to reactive an endpoint which has been mistakenly terminated by contacting support.

Endpoint Network States

Each endpoint is in one of a number of possible states:

IDStateMeaning
10unknownThe network status of the endpoint is currently unknown. This is the state when the endpoint has not been assigned to a customer or endpoint group yet.
20detachedThe endpoint is currently detached from the network.
30idleThe endpoint is attached to a network but currently has no active data session.
40activeThe endpoint is active on a network and also has an active data session.
