Dedicated Data

What Is Dedicated Data?

If you configure dedicated data for your IoT SIM cards, they can only access preset platforms or systems. You can configure dedicated data with fixed addresses, including fixed domain names and fixed IP addresses.

A fixed domain name or IP address is required to purchase a data plan of over 100 MB or to form a data pool.

Configuration Rules

A fixed domain name or IP address is required to purchase a data plan of over 100 MB or to form a data pool.

In other cases, dedicated data is optional.

Currently, dedicated data can be configured only for IoT SIM cards of China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom.

Configuration rules of different carriers:

Do not directly use the content of the Fixed Address (Only for Reference) column in the table. Set the fixed address based on the site requirements.
The wildcard character (*) indicates any characters. For example, the domain name https://*.example.com includes https://www.example.com, https://a.example.com, and https://b.example.com. The wildcard character (*) can be used only once in a domain name.

China Telecom: Up to 10 fixed addresses. Five IP addresses at most. Wildcard characters are allowed only for domain names. Your request will be processed within five working days. Example:

Type	Protocol	Wildcard Supported	Fixed Address (Only for Reference)	Port
Domain name	HTTP	Yes	http://www.*.example.com:80	Optional (default value: 80)
Domain name	HTTPS	No	https://www.example.com:443	Optional (default value: 443)
Domain name	UDP or TCP	No	tcp://example.com	Optional
Domain name	Others	Yes	mqtt://*.example.com	Optional

Configuring a Fixed Domain Name/IP Address

If invalid fixed addresses are configured, the corresponding cards may fail to use data. You are advised to configure fixed addresses for a small number of test cards at first and then for all cards.
Configure fixed addresses under the guidance of technical personnel. If you encounter any problem during the configuration, contact Huawei technical support.
Fixed address is only available for physical SIM cards of a card purchase order.

In the navigation pane, choose Orders and Renewal.
