module menus and details.
Important Notes:
· Sometimes a cellular network will be detected and a module will connect automatically
after it is inserted. Tieline recommends always using the Overwrite APN (Access
Point Number) menu setting and entering the correct APN for your Telco. This ensures
use of the correct data APN. It is usually simple to search the internet for the correct
APNs used by each Telco. See
· It may be necessary to enter a SIM PIN if the codec cannot connect automatically to
the network.
· Cellular radio transmissions can be turned off without removing the module. Select
