3G/4G CONNECTIONS

4G Cellular connections can be made with MultiRack by attaching a cellular modem with SIM over USB connection.
Cellular-based modems will appear as their model name. 4G connections generally populate automatically, as Cellular
connections are SIM-specific. Successful 4G connectivity will display like Figure 31.
It is possible to modify the APN setting if the default is not correct by selecting the SIM option under Carrier Networks
and selecting APN. New values can be inputted into the field manually. Additionally, some pre-programmed APNs
may be selected based on the list of carriers programmed into MultiRack. By setting the Region, Country, and Carrier
option, the list will suggest the proper APN by carrier.
