3 In the Profile name field, enter a name for the profile. This name is only used to identify the profile on the
router.
4 If the Automatic APN selection is set to ON, the most appropriate APN will be chosen based on the MCC
and MNC contained in your SIM card.
If the Automatic APN selection is set to OFF the following additional fields will be displayed:
a Enter the APN name (Access Point Name).
b In the Username and Password fields to enter your login credentials (if required).
c Next to Authentication type, select the either CHAP or PAP or None, depending on the type of
authentication used by your provider.
5 The Reconnect delay field specifies the number of seconds to wait between connection attempts. The
default setting of 30 seconds is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it to wait up to 65535 seconds if
you wish.
6 The Reconnect retries field specifies the number of times to attempt to connect to the network if the router
fails to establish a connection. It is set to 0 by default which causes the router to attempt to reconnect
indefinitely.
7 The Metric value is used by router to prioritise routes (if multiple are available) and is set to 25 by default.
This value is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it if you are aware of the effect your changes will
have on the service.
8 Use the NAT masquerading toggle key to turn NAT Masquerading ON or OFF. NAT masquerading, also
known simply as NAT is a common routing feature which allows multiple LAN devices to appear as a single
WAN IP via network address translation. In this mode, the router modifies network traffic sent and received
to inform remote computers on the internet that packets originating from a machine behind the router
actually originated from the WAN IP address of the router's internal NAT IP address. This may be disabled if
a framed route configuration is required and local devices require WAN IP addresses.
9 For advanced networking such as using dual simultaneous PDP contexts, you may wish to configure a
particular profile to route only certain traffic via that profile by configuring a custom address and mask of
traffic to send via that profile. To do this, in the Profile routing settings section, enter the Network address
and Network mask of the remote network. If you do not enter any profile routing settings, the profile will be
active but no traffic will be routed through it. For more information on configuring Profile routing settings,
see the Setting a default gateway with two active connection profiles example.
10 Click the Save button when you have finished entering the profile details.
