5.1.3.3.1 Administration
After the configuration (e.g. setting the APN), the mobile connection is enabled here. We recommend us-
ing the ‘permanent’ option. The UMTS/GSM LED is blinking during the connection establishment and
goes on as soon as the connection is up. See the troubleshooting section and log files if the connection
does not come up.
