The Config, Status and Provisioning buttons are a quick way to navigate to the three (3) sub-menus of the Cellular
Connection menu.
Enable Interface:
Select Yes to enable the interface to become active after the new settings are applied and
upon subsequent system start-up. Select No to disable the cellular interface and prevent the cellular radio from
attempting to establish a network connection.
APN:
Enter the APN used to access your cellular wireless data service in this field.
Note 1:
Maximum allowable characters for this field are 104 characters.
Note 2:
Entering an APN value in this field will overwrite any APN stored in the modem for the selected
context.
Show Advanced Configuration:
Selecting Yes will enable the additional fields listed below.
User Name:
Enter the user name assigned to you by your cellular wireless data plan provider which should
have been given to you when you established your service.
Password:
Enter the password assigned to you by your cellular wireless data plan provider which should have
been given to you when you established your service.
Confirm Password:
Enter the password you entered in the
Password
field, exactly as typed before. If the
passwords do not match you will be prompted to re-enter it.
APN Persistence:
Select the APN Persistence option.
Write Always:
Will always overwrite the configuration used for connections
Write Once:
Will update the APN once but not again in the future. This allows other processes to update
the APN such as automatic tower APN updates. This is recommended for Verizon.
SIM Unlock PIN Code:
Enter the 4 digit SIM Unlock PIN code here. Entering the wrong value multiple times
may cause your SIM to become unusable and require service by your carrier. If you have previously entered
this value, but it is now blank, the PIN was probably rejected by the SIM. Rejected PIN codes are cleared so
that they are not attempted multiple times. Use this option with caution.
CPIN Unlock Action:
Select the required CPIN action for SIM locking.
Enable:
Lock SIM to require a SIM PIN password for use. This SIM PIN will be required every time the
device is powered on. The current SIM PIN must be known in order to enable.
Disable:
Unlock SIM to no longer require a SIM PIN password for use. The current SIM PIN must be
known in order to disable.
Roaming:
Set to allow cellular roaming.
Auto:
Allow roaming (recommended).
Home Network Only:
Attach to Home and Partner networks only.
Network Preference:
Select the network preference.
Auto:
Automatic registration.
Manual:
Device only registers to specified network based on the entered Mobile Country Code (MCC) and
Mobile Network Code (MNC). Will force device to not register with other networks.
Caution:
This may affect connections to partner service providers and available roaming options. Use
this option with caution.
