Helpful Hint: Note the Wi-Fi IP address on the screen when you set up a hotspot and
then enter this IP address in a browser on a device connected to the hotspot, e.g. a
tablet, to view the Toolbox HTML web-GUI for the codec and control the codec.

13 Adding Access Points and a SIM PIN
It may be necessary to add a custom access point number (APN) profile if a USB modem or
cellular module does not connect to a cellular network. Often this is necessary when you are using
different SIM cards in an unlocked USB modem. E.g. When using SIM cards from various carriers
in different countries. As a rule of thumb, Tieline recommends always using the Overwrite APN
menu setting and entering the correct APN for your Telco. This ensures use of the correct data
APN. It may also be necessary to enter a SIM PIN unlock code.
Up to 10 custom access point profiles can be added to the codec. Before configuring the custom
access point you need to obtain the access point details from the cellular network provider; this is
normally found on a Telco's website. Usually a Telco will list internet and MMS APN information
and you need to enter the internet APN details in the codec, as well as the correct authentication
type.
