Manually Configuring the 3G/4G/LTE WWAN Profile

You can manually configure the 3G/4G/LTE WWAN profile or manually make changes by using the following procedure.

To manually configure the modem as a WWAN

1. Click 3G/4GLTE WWAN.

   

2. Toggle the option to Enable 3G/4G/LTE modem.

3. Select a VLAN interface from the Bound to WAN VLAN Interface drop-down menu.

   If no interfaces are listed in the drop-down menu, you need to define one. Refer to NETWORK | System > Interfaces.

   When building a VLAN interface, set the zone to WAN zone and the parent interface to the physical interface the access point is connected to.
   For 3G USB modems, set the IP Assignment to Static and assign a private IP address to it. Leave the Gateway and DNS server fields blank.
   For 4G and QMI modems, set the IP Assignment to DHCP.

4. In the Connection Profile section, toggle the option to Enable Connection Profile.

   Some traditional 3G/4G modems need connection profiles for dial-up.

5. In the Country field, select the country where the access point is deployed.

6. Select the Service Provider from the drop-down menu.

7. Select the Plan Type from the drop-down menu. Depending on the selection, other fields are auto-populated.

8. Select a Connection Type from the drop-down menu. These selections depend on available service providers and plan types.

9. Dial Number should populate with the appropriate figure depending on the Connection Type selected.

10. If needed, add the User Name and Password to the appropriate fields.

11. Enter your APN. Each carrier has a set of APNs (Access Point Names) for their networks. An APN is considered the name of the gateway to access the WAN. This is specified by the carrier. For example, two common APNs used by AT&T:

    • broadband (no longer supports PPP)

    • 2gold (supports PPP)

12. After the screen settings are complete, click OK.
