Mobile Broadband Internet Connection Add and Activate a Custom APN Proﬁle Support

By default, when the modem powers up with a SIM card installed, it automatically searches for and connects to your mobile service provider’s mobile broadband network. This process might take several minutes. The SIM card that is installed determines the mobile broadband network to which the modem connects.

However, if the modem does not automatically connect to the mobile broadband network, the Power LED remains solid amber, and you must contact your mobile service provider to get the access point name (APN) proﬁle information and add and activate a custom APN proﬁle in the modem (see Add and Activate a Custom APN Proﬁle).
