Select the service plan and connection settings used in connecting to the mobile network.
Mobile Service Provider Settings
The Configuration – Network > Interfaces > Mobile > Mobile Settings option opens
to show the following parameters:-
Service Plan / APN:
Enter the APN (Access Point Name) given by the service provider.
Use backup APN
Tick to enable this option then enter the backup APN in the free text field
e.g. “your.apn”
This parameter may be used to specify an alternative service APN for use in the event that
the unit cannot connect using the primary APN specified by the APN parameter. The unit will
only use this APN if the primary APN fails and the Use backup APN parameter is enabled.
Retry the main APN after n minutes
If the Use backup APN parameter is enabled, this parameter is used to define how long the
unit will use the backup APN before attempting to revert to the primary APN.
SIM PIN:
Some SIM cards are locked with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code to prevent
misuse if they are lost or stolen. The GSM operator should be able to confirm if the SIM
requires a PIN code.
If you enter a PIN code in this field, the unit will try to unlock the SIM before attempting to
connect to the network.
Confirm SIM PIN:
Enter the PIN again in this field to confirm it.
Username: (Optional)
Some APNs require a username and password for the PPP connection. These are not always
pre-defined i.e. any “made-up” username or password will suffice.
Password: (Optional)
Enter the password for the PPP connection.
Confirm Password:
Enter the password again in this field to confirm it.
