This section describes how to set up the router to initiate a WWAN connection. There are 2 different ways to set up a WWAN
connection via PPP:
Initiating the PPP Connection directly from the router (most common).
Initiating the PPP Connection from a different PPP client (i.e. laptop or router) with the router running in transparent PPPoE
mode.

To connect using a Connection profile
The router supports multiple APN profiles; these profiles allow you to configure the settings that the router will use to connect to the
3G network. By default, the AutoConfigprofile is selected. This should automatically detect the applicable APN from the inserted
SIM.
You can also manually enter the connection details by performing the following steps:
1.
Select the profile that you wish to configure.
2.
Enter a name for the connection (if needed) in the ‚Change Profile Name‛ field.
3.
Select the appropriate connection type.
4.
Enter the APN - Access Point Name (and if required the username and password).
5.
Select ‚Enable‛ for the Auto Connect option.
6.
Select the Authentication Type.
7.
Enter the Reconnect Delay (if needed - the default should be suitable in most cases).
8.
Enter the number of Reconnection attempts the router should make.
9.
Enter the network metric for the connection.
10.
Select to enable or disable NAT Masquerading for the connection.
11.
Click Save
To confirm successful connection
Click on the Status menu item at the top of the page to return to the Status page.
The WWAN status should be ’’up‛. The Local field should show the current IP address that the network has allocated for the router.
Congratulations. Your new router is now ready to use!
