Setting the common interface settings
Overview
The settings under COMMON are common for all interfaces. Note, however,
that in order to use the common Access Point Name for an interface, you must
select Common for the APN setting when setting up the network user group.
Definition of Access Point Name (APN)
The APN is used by the network user to establish a connection to the required
external network. This means that the terminal must know the APN in order to
be able to connect to the external network.
APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider. They may also be defined on the
SIM card.
How to use the common APN
When you configure the APN for your individual network user group, select
Common to use the setting from this page.
If you are using the same APN for many network user groups, it is easier to
define it once under Common, and then simply select Common for the relevant
network user groups. Also, if you change the common APN at a later stage, it
is automatically updated for all network user groups where the Common
setting is selected.
