Manually configuring a connection profile
To manually configure a connection profile:
1. Click the Profile toggle key to turn the profile ON. Additional settings appear.
Figure 21 - Data connection settings - Profile turned on
2. In the Phone number field, enter the phone number assigned to the device.
3. In the User and Password fields, enter the username and passwords assigned to your account by the carrier.
4. Next to Authentication type, select CHAP or PAP depending on the type of authentication used by your provider.
5. The Reconnect delay field specifies the number of seconds to wait between connection attempts. The default setting
of 30 seconds is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it to wait up to 65535 seconds if you wish.
6. The Reconnect retries field specifies the number of times to attempt to connect to the network if the router fails to
establish a connection. It is set to 0 by default which causes the router to attempt to reconnect indefinitely.
7. The Metric value is used by router to prioritise routes (if multiple are available) and is set to 20 by default. This value is
sufficient in most cases but you may modify it if you are aware of the effect your changes will have on the service.
8. The MTU field specifies the maximum transmission unit which is the largest packet or frame that can be sent in a
packet or frame-based network such as the internet. The default value is 1460. This value should only be modified
under instruction from your carrier.
