It may be necessary to add a custom access point number (APN) profile if a USB modem or cellular module does not connect automatically to a cellular network. Often this is necessary when you are using different SIM cards in an unlocked USB modem. E.g. When using SIM cards from various carriers in different countries. It may also be necessary to enter a SIM PIN unlock code.
Before configuring the custom access point you need to obtain the access point details from the cellular network provider; this is normally found on their website. Usually a Telco will list internet and MMS APN information and you need to enter the internet APN details in the codec. See Adding Cellular Access Points for more details on configuration via the codec TOUCH SCREEN.
