SummaInstall

Overview

The "Deactivate Sim" operation in the Summa node allows users to deactivate a SIM card by specifying its ICC ID. This is useful in telecom management scenarios where a SIM card needs to be disabled, for example, when a device is lost or a subscription is terminated. By deactivating the SIM, network access can be effectively blocked, preventing unauthorized use.

Practical examples include:

• Telecom operators managing subscriber SIM lifecycle.
• Enterprises controlling SIM cards issued to employees.
• IoT platform administrators disabling SIMs on devices no longer in service.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the deactivation request. Typically, this will include status information indicating whether the SIM was successfully deactivated or if an error occurred. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes fields such as success flags, messages, and possibly updated SIM status details.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Summa API.
• The node uses an HTTP client internally to communicate with the Summa backend services.
• Proper configuration of the Summa API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing ICC ID: Ensure the ICC ID provided is correct and corresponds to an active SIM.
  • Authentication failures: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
  • Network errors: Check connectivity to the Summa API endpoint.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid credentials; reconfigure the API key.
  • Validation errors may occur if the ICC ID format is incorrect or the SIM does not exist.
  • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues or API downtime.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, checking credential validity, and ensuring network accessibility.
