# Configure 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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
- 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 the device uses to connect to the Internet when using the cellular data connection)
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
1. Enter a name for your project, and then select **Next**
|
|
1. Select **All Windows desktop editions**, select **Next**, and then select **Finish**
|
|
1. Go to **Runtime settings > Connections > EnterpriseAPN**
|
|
1. Enter a name for the connection, and then select **Add**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The connection appears in the **Available customizations** pane. Select it to view the settings that you can configure for the connection
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The following table describes the settings available for the connection
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| AlwaysOn | By default, the Connection Manager automatically attempts to connect to the APN when a connection is available. You can disable the 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 attached APN isn't 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. |
|
|
|
|
1. After you configure the connection settings, [build the provisioning package](../provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package.md#build-package).
|
|
1. [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 are applied.
|
|
|
|
1. On the configured device, open a command prompt as an administrator
|
|
1. Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```cmd
|
|
netsh mbn show profiles
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. The command lists the mobile broadband profiles. Using the **Name** for the listed mobile broadband profile, run:
|
|
|
|
```cmd
|
|
netsh mbn show profiles name="name"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command lists the details for that profile, including Access Point Name.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can also use the command:
|
|
|
|
```cmd
|
|
netsh mbn show interface
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From the results of that command, get the name of the cellular/mobile broadband interface and run:
|
|
|
|
```cmd
|
|
netsh mbn show connection interface="name"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The result of that command shows the details for the cellular interface, including Access Point Name.
