How to Configure Cellular Settings

Note: Cellular setting are only available on KMC Commander Dell cellular model gateways supplied with a SIM card.

For increased security, you can only configure these settings when logged into the gateway locally. See Logging In at the Job Site.

Only one port (Ethernet or cellular, but not both) should have a live Internet connection.

Activate the supplied SIM card and install the cellular antennas if this has not already been done.

Note: See Installing Optional Cellular.
Go to Settings , Network Interfaces, then Cellular [cdc-wdm0].
Switch Disabled to Enabled (if not already).
Enter the Access Point Name (APN) supplied by the cellular carrier.

Note: Usually the APN will be "vzwinternet" for Verizon or "broadband" for AT&T. For a Verizon static IP, it will be a variation of 'xxxx.vzwstatic'" dependent on location.

Note: Leave the Route Metric (Priority) at its default.
Select Save.

Note: When a cellular connection is made, an IP address appears.
