3.1.2 Configuring 3G WAN Settings
You should already have an activated user account and network access information from the
service provider.
1 Click WIRELESS > Cellular on the LAN-Cell.
2 Make sure that the Cellular interface is Enabled.
3 For GSM networks such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers, Vodafone, Orange, MTN, etc.,
enter the APN (Access Point Name) and phone number (typically *99#) that were
provided by your service provider.
4 For CDMA networks such as Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Alltel, Telus, etc., the APN field
is not required or displayed. The ISP access phone number is typically #777 for CDMA
networks.
5 Select the authentication type used by your service provider. If it was not given, leave
the field at the default (None).
6 If required by your network operator, also enter the user name, password, and PIN code
used for network access. If your service provider didn’t provide this information,
contact your service provider.
7 If you want the Cellular WAN connection to stay connected at all times, select “Always
On”, otherwise indicate how long to wait before the LAN-Cell drops the 3G connection
when no data activity is detected. Note: this will “hang up” the 3G connection and is not
the same as the radio “Dormant State” that 3G PC-Cards go into when not transmitting
data.
8 For WAN IP Address Assignment, select Get Automatically from ISP. This is the
correct setting in most situations, even if your carrier has assigned a “static” IP address
to your 3G card.
9 Click Apply.
