Logout from the MWB-4G configuration browser. It may take some minutes for 
the  chosen  4G  operator  to  connect  the  MWB-4G  to  the  network.  Once 
connected the Internet may be accessed in the normal way.  
 

Scanning for a 4G Communications Network 

 
The  MWB-4G  can  scan  for  suitable  4G  Networks  if  it  is  unknown  which  4G 
networks  are  available in  the  vessel location.  Note  that the  MWB-4G  will not 
scan while locked onto a 4G network. To scan for 4G networks, first the MWB-
4G must be unlocked from any 4G networks.  
 
If  a  4G  scan  is  required  because  4G  coverage  is  lost,  the  MWB-4G  will 
probably already be unlocked. This can be checked as described immediately 
below then a 4G scan run without further action. 
 
To determine if the MWB-4G is locked onto a 4G network the lte1 status flag 
will  be  set  to  “R”  (running)  when  locked,  see  “Manually  Selecting  4G 
Communications Mode” above for details. To unlock the MWB-4G, either the 
SIM card may be replaced leaving the configuration unchanged 

(Power down 

MWB-4G  first!)

  or  change  the  configuration  with  the  same  SIM  card.  The 

objective  is  to  ensure  the  installed  SIM  card  and  configuration  does  NOT 
match to ensure the MWB-4G is unlocked from any 4G Network. 
 
The  example  below  changes  the  4G  configuration  page  with  the  same 
Vodafone  4G  SIM  card  to  ensure  the  MWB-4G  is  unlocked  from  any  4G 
Network. 
 
First  open  the  MWB-4G  configuration  browser  and  on  the  interfaces  page 
click  lte1  as  above.  Then  on  the  4G  configuration  page  in  this  example  the
