9.4. 4G setup
This plugin allows to setup the parameters of the modem connection. There is a list with some initial configurations
depending on the country and the operator. However, this list may not be updated with the last valid configuration
of your mobile provider. Ask your mobile company for the information required to connect (APN, Username,
Password) and add the PIN code of the SIM card used (leave empty if there is no PIN). We recommend to disable
the PIN in the SIM card as this will make easier the test and validation process and will avoid to block the SIM card.

After setting the 4G parameters and before save them you can test your connection through the “Connect now”
button. It will try to connect to your carrier and get a valid IP. Once the connection has been made the default
gateway of the machine is changed so all the clients connected through WiFi will reach the Internet via 4G.
Important:
once you get a valid 4G IP through the “Connect now” button, you will not be able to access Meshlium via
Ethernet unless you are connected through the same Local Area Network. For this reason we recommend to make all the
tests using the WiFi connection.
