When using a simcard to connect to a GSM network, there are a couple of parameters that your GSM service provider wi
need from you in order to connect to their network. These are sometimes not necessary as the card will automatically
connect but most will require them. The parameters are the NBIoT band and scrambling, APN Name, APN Username and
APN Password and are entered in the 'Communications Setup' section.
Depending on where you are in the world, NBIoT networks operate on different bands. This information can be provided to
you by your NBIoT service provider. Alternatively, setting it '0' will cause the logger to
