# Configure cellular settings for tablets and PCs
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
|
||
>**Looking for consumer information?** See [Cellular settings in Windows 10](https://support.microsoft.com/help/10739/windows-10-cellular-settings)
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
- Windows 10, version 1703, desktop editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education)
|
||
|
||
- Tablet or PC 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)
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>You can get the APN from your mobile operator.
|
||
|
||
## How to configure cellular settings in a provisioning package
|
||
|
||
1. In Windows Configuration Designer, [start a new project](provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package.md) using the **Advanced provisioning** option.
|
||
|
||
2. Enter a name for your project, and then click **Next**.
|
||
|
||
3. Select **All Windows desktop editions**, click **Next**, and then click **Finish**.
|
||
|
||
4. Go to **Runtime settings > Connections > EnterpriseAPN**.
|
||
|
||
5. Enter a name for the connection, and then click **Add**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
6. The connection appears in the **Available customizations** pane. Select it to view the settings that you can configure for the connection.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
7. The following table describes the settings available for the connection.
|
||
|
||
| Setting | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| AlwaysOn | By default, the Connection Manager will automatically attempt to connect to the APN when a connection is available. You can disable this setting. |
|
||
| APNName | Enter the name of the APN. |
|
||
| AuthType | You can select **None** (the default), or specify **Auto**, **PAP**, **CHAP**, or **MSCHAPv2** authentication. If you select PAP, CHAP, or MSCHAPv2 authentication, you must also enter a user name and password. |
|
||
| ClassId | This is a GUID that defines the APN class to the modem. This is only required when **IsAttachAPN** is **true** and the attach APN is not only used as the Internet APN. |
|
||
| Enabled | By default, the connection is enabled. You can change this setting. |
|
||
| IccId | This is the Integrated Circuit Card ID (ICCID) associated with the cellular connection profile. |
|
||
| IPType | By default, the connection can use IPv4 and IPv6 concurrently. You can change this setting to only IPv4, only IPv6, or IPv6 with IPv4 provided by 46xlat. |
|
||
| IsAttachAPN | Specify whether this APN should be requested as part of an LTE Attach. |
|
||
| Password | If you select PAP, CHAP, or MSCHAPv2 authentication, enter a password that corresponds to the user name. |
|
||
| Roaming | Select the behavior that you want when the device is roaming. The options are:</br></br>-Disallowed</br>-Allowed (default)</br>-DomesticRoaming</br>-Use OnlyForDomesticRoaming</br>-UseOnlyForNonDomesticRoaming</br>-UseOnlyForRoaming |
|
||
| UserName | If you select PAP, CHAP, or MSCHAPv2 authentication, enter a user name. |
|
||
|
||
8. After you configure the connection settings, [build the provisioning package](provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package.md#build-package).
|
||
|
||
9. [Apply the package to devices.](provisioning-packages/provisioning-apply-package.md)
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Confirm the settings
|
||
|
||
After you apply the provisioning package, you can confirm that the settings have been applied.
|
||
|
||
1. On the configured device, open a command prompt as an administrator.
|
||
|
||
2. Run the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
netsh mbn show profiles
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. The command will list the mobile broadband profiles. Using the "Name" for the listed mobile broadband profile, run:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
netsh mbn show profiles name="name"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This command will list details for that profile, including Access Point Name.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can also use the command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
netsh mbn show interface
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From the results of that command, get the name of the cellular/mobile broadband interface and run:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
netsh mbn show connection interface="name"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The result of that command will show details for the cellular interface, including Access Point Name.
