• A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be
configured manually.
Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available –
connections must be configured manually. Under APN, the
packet service access number must be entered (typically “#777”).
In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a
connection (such as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are
referred to as a profile. Every profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The
profile named Default is special in that it is always present and can neither be edited
nor deleted. (A sample dialog box is presented on the page following.) The Default
profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the network
that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While there can be many
configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time.
If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic
configuration: checkbox should normally be unchecked.
In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with
automatic configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each
SIM card being from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a
manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick
the correct manually configured profile for each SIM card. For this to work each
profile has to be configured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the
device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM is ready).
The Select profile drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects which
profile a subsequent action applies to. A profile named Default is always present
and contains the current parameters from the database. The following actions are
available:
