Set the Access Point Name (APN
).
The APN setting must be configured to establish a data connection. The Access Point Name
(APN) is the name your cellular modem uses to set up a connection to the gateway between your
carrier's cellular network and the public Internet. The APN you need to specify will depend on the
cellular network service provider. The APN is often published on the service provider's web site.
This setting is easier to enter via DZMx Connect, where you can type or paste in the APN. It can
also be entered using the DZMx control head.
DZMx WiFi
The DZMx can be supplied with optional integrated WiFi components (designated by a W at the
end of the product
’
s part and dash number e.g.: DZP_04-xxxW in Revision 3, DZP_04-xxx-xxW in
Revision 4 or later).

Starting WiFi
If the DZMx is WiFi capable and the Wi-Fi licence has been activated, the WiFi service is active
by default.
It is possible to toggle WiFi on and off from the front panel using a long press on the MODE key.
When WiFi is enabled, a wireless icon
will appear at the top right of the screen on the front
panel.
If it is necessary to disable WiFi so it cannot be overridden by the flight crew, the MODE key
function can be disabled using DZMx Connect.
