Vodafone MachineLink 3G

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 (including two
blank APN profiles when using a Vodafone SIM) 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.
Using a Vodafone Global SIM
When using a Vodafone Global SIM, the router is pre-configured with the APN field blank. A blank APN setting allows the network to
determine the correct APN.
