IMSI/IMEI Accounts
UPAM integration with the Celona Private Wireless solution is implemented through configuration of an Access Policy with the IMSI/IMEI database selected as the Authentication Source. The Celona Edge first performs user authentication based on Sim. The users are then authorized by validating that the SIM card (IMSI) or the device (IMEI) has a corresponding entry in the UPAM IMSI/IMEI database.
The IMSI/IMEI Accounts screen displays information about all of the configured IMSI/IMEI accounts in the UPAM database. This screen also allows you to create, edit, and delete accounts. To access the IMSI/IMEI Accounts screen, click on Network Access > Accounts > IMSI/IMEI Accounts under the “Configure” section of the OmniVista Cirrus Menu.
Creating an IMEI/IMSI Account
There are two methods for creating IMEI/IMSI Accounts for Celona device authorization: Import an Excel XLSX file with multiple IMEI/IMSI entries or manually create an account.
