There are four options for setting the APN. Unless you have special requirements, it is
recommended to use the SIM default, or to set the common APN to SIM default, and then
select Common here. You have the following options:
• Common. The APN is taken from the Common APN defined under
SETTINGS > Common. Refer to Setting the common interface settings on page 71.
• SIM default. The APN is taken from the SIM card. If you want to use a static IP address on
the external network, select this option either here or in the Common setting.
• Network assigned. The APN is assigned from the network.
• User defined. Type in the APN. APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider.
9. If your APN uses a password, type in the user name and password provided from the Airtime
Provider.
10. At Automatic activation select whether the connection should be activated automatically or
manually.
• Disabled means you can activate/deactivate the connection from the Dashboard.
• Enabled means the connection is activated automatically as soon as the system is ready. This
setting is used by default for the Group 0 user group.
Static IP is handled by the service provider. Do not type in a static IP address in the
Static IP address field; a manually typed IP address will currently not be used by the
network.
If you are going to use the static IP address from your SIM card, the user name and
password are mandatory! See step 6. above.
