To configure 3G/4G uplink manually:
(Instant AP)(config) # cellular-uplink-profile
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-type <3G-usb-type>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# 4g-usb-type <4g-usb>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# modem-country <country>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# modem-isp <service-provider-name>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-auth-type <usb-authentication_type>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-user <username>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-passwd <password>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-dev <device-ID>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-tty <tty-port>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-init <Initialization-parameter>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-dial <dial-parameter>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# usb-modeswitch <usb-modem>
(Instant AP)(cellular-uplink-profile)# end

Managing Cellular SIM PIN
W-IAPs now support the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Personal Identification Number (PIN) management
functions such as locking, unlocking, and renewing the SIM PIN of the 3G/4G modems. In the current release,
these functions can be configured only through the W-IAP CLI.
To prevent any fradulent use of 3G/4G modems connected to a W-IAP, you can enable locking of the SIMPIN
of the modems. When enabled, if an incorrect PIN code is provided in the three consecutive attempts, the
SIMPIN is locked. To unlock the PIN, the users must use the Personal Unblocking Code (PUK) code provided by
your ISP.
After enabling SIM PIN lock, reboot the W-IAP to apply the SIM PIN lock configuration changes.
To enable SIM PIN lock:
(Instant AP)# pin-enable <pin_current_used>
To disable SIM PIN locking:
(Instant AP)# no pin-enable <pin_current_used>
