# Configure cellular settings for tablets and PCs
# Configure cellular settings
>**Looking for consumer information?** See [Cellular settings in Windows 10](https://support.microsoft.com/help/10739/windows-10-cellular-settings)
This article describes how to configure cellular settings for devices that have a cellular modem using a [provisioning package](../provisioning-packages/provisioning-packages.md). After the devices are configured, users are automatically connected using the access point name (APN) defined in the provisioning package, without needing to connect manually.
Enterprises can configure cellular settings for tablets and PC that have built-in cellular modems or plug-in USB modem dongles and apply the settings in a [provisioning package](../provisioning-packages/provisioning-packages.md). After the devices are configured, users are automatically connected using the access point name (APN) defined by the enterprise without needing to manually connect.
For users who work in different locations, you can configure one APN to connect when the users are at work and a different APN when the users are traveling.
For users who work in different locations, you can configure one APN to connect when the users are at work, and a different APN when the users are traveling.
## Prerequisites

- Tablet or PC with built-in cellular modem or plug-in USB modem dongle
- Device with built-in cellular modem or plug-in USB modem dongle
- [Windows Configuration Designer](../provisioning-packages/provisioning-install-icd.md)
- APN (the address that your PC uses to connect to the Internet when using the cellular data connection)
- APN (the address that the device uses to connect to the Internet when using the cellular data connection)
