You will be using the Alef Mobile Network API to carry out the tasks in this section. This is a basic config, Refer to the API reference documentation to learn more about the API and explore the full schema.

Upload your SIMs​

Required information

  • name: Name for the SIM, needs to be unique in the account.
  • iccid: The ICCID calue for the SIM. Needs to be unique for each SIM.
  • imsi: The IMSI data per sim. Currently one IMSI entry is supported.
    • imsi: The unique 15-digit number identifierfor the SIM. Typically: mcc + mnc + MSIN (Mobile Subscriber Identity).
    • msisdn: The MSISDN is the 'phone' number for the SIM. MSISDNs are typically 14 or 15 digits long.
    • plmn: The mcc + mnc for the SIM. Should be the same as the Mobile Core PLMN.
    • apn: The APN name for the SIM. Needs to be the same as specifived on the Mobile Core.
    • imsi-profile: The secret keys for the SIM to authenticate with. Typically two values k and opc.
      • use-opc: Set to false if not using the opc value in the key set.
      • key-set: The k and opc values as provided by the SIM supplier. Usually unique per IMSI.

You will use the following POST request body with the /connectivity/v2/sims/{coreId}/sim endpoint to add SIM.

You can use the following GET request body with the /connectivity/v2/sims/{coreId}/sim/{id} endpoint to retrieve your RAN information.

All APIs require the user to be authenticated with their username/password. The JWT token needs to be added to the header as Bearer of each call.
