Profiles
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. 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, 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, auto-
matic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured
profile for each SIM card. For this to work, each profile must be configured while the corre-
sponding 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 to which profile
a subsequent action applies. A profile named
Default is always present and contains the
current parameters from the database. The following actions are available:

For the
Default profile, the publicly known password is shown—otherwise, the password is
hidden.
Edit

in mind that you cannot edit the
Default profile.
Delete
The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile.
Activate
When this button is chosen, the selected profile becomes the active profile. Activation is
possible only if the
Enable automatic configuration: checkbox
is unchecked.
