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 Adding Access Points and a SIM PIN for more details.
· 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

SIM LTE Indications
Indications displayed in the Status Bar on the TOUCH SCREEN for an internal cellular module
are similar to USB modem cellular network indications. The only difference is that S1 and S2 is
displayed to identify SIM card 1 and 2. In the following image there are two USB modems and
two SIM cards displayed in the Status Bar.
Tethering a Smartphone
Important Note: Only tethering to an Android phone is supported.
It is possible to tether a phone to the codec with a USB cable and use cellular or Wi-Fi data from
the connected device.
1. Enable USB tethering in the smartphone to allow sharing of the phone's internet connection.
Note: This will probably need to be enabled each time the phone is connected to the codec.
2. Attach a USB cable to the phone and then attach the USB cable to one of the two host USB
PORTs on the codec.
