Roaming settings
Allow data roaming
When set to ON, the router will allow local devices to access the Wireless WAN network when the MachineLink 3G is roaming onto a foreign network. When set to OFF, the
router will deny network access to data services when roaming onto a foreign network. This setting is ON by default.

Connecting to the mobile broadband network
The router supports the configuration of up to six APN profiles; these profiles allow you to configure the settings that the router will use to connect to the 2G/3G network and switch easily
between different connection settings.
For advanced networking purposes, you may activate a maximum of two profiles simultaneously (dependant on network support). When activating two connection profiles, you should avoid
selecting two profiles with the same APN as this can cause only one profile to connect. Similarly, activating two profiles which are both configured to automatically determine an APN can cause a
conflict and result in neither profile establishing a connection. We recommend that the two active connection profiles have differing, manually configured APNs to avoid connection issues and
ensure smooth operation.
Manually configuring a connection profile
