The device detects the 4G module and configuring. You only have to setup the 

APN

 you want to 

use for the 

WAN

 (

ppp-4g) interface and the 

PIN

 code of the SIM (if it is presented). 

 
The 

Wireless Network

 field gives you the opportunity to choose a 

dedicated  cellular  technology  or  you  can  leave  it  on  default  value: 
4G/3G/2G 

 which means the 

Auto 

mode.  

This  mode  could  grant  the  best  speed  and  quality  option  (for 

4G 

selection), or the garanteed operation on any network (

fallback feature

 

for 

4G/3G/2G selection (when the 4G cellular network service is not 

available the 3G will be used 

 it 3G is not available, or 2G fallback will be used 

 when 3G or 4G 

will  be  available  again,  it  will  switch  back  to  4G) 

 

if

 

the  internet  module  of  the  device

supporting this.  

 
If you have to use a dedicated network like 3G, 2G, etc., then choose the required network type, 
please. But 

take consider, that the 

fallback

 feature will be inactive in this mode

 

 if you 

choose the 

4G and it the network will be not available, there will not be provided 3G or 2G fallback 

(if the choosen network is not available, the device 

won’t get mobile network access)

. For fallback 

always choose the 

Auto

 mode (4G/3G/2G setting). 

 
If you choose the 

No change

 option, the device will be using the last known good configuration 

here. 
 
There you can also define the 

SIM #1

 

APN 

name for the Internet connection, which is necessary 

to use. 

If you will not set any value 

for the 

APN, the modem will restart the modem sequentially 

in every ca. 10 minutes until it is not configured properly. 
You can define SIM card

’s

 

PIN

 code here - if it is necessary for the connection.  

Note, that the 

PIN

 code which is already configured here, it cannot be seen here due to the security 

rules 

 the characters are placed by asterix signs. Just modify the PIN if you would like to change. 

 

Important!

  If you need to change the PIN code, use the Network / SIM PIN Change menu item. 

 
Authentication methods: 

 

The 

SIM #1

 

PAP/CHAP username

 and 

SIM #1

 

PAP/CHAP

 

password

 settings can be 

also configured here 

 if it is required for the connection.
