Detailed instructions for configuring the 5G modem are below. In summary, the process is:
1.
Buy a micro SIM card and insert it into the SIM 1 or SIM 2 card slot.
2.
Create a valid APN profile for the SIM card.
3.
Give the APN profile a name.
4.
Enable the SIM slot.

Attach the APN profile to the ‘
wwan0
’ interface.
The following example shows the minimum configuration to connect to a WWAN interface:

Insert the Micro SIM card
You can insert the Micro SIM card in either the SIM 1 slot or the SIM 2 slot. In this example the card
is inserted in the SIM 1 slot.

Add an APN profile and name of the carrier
In this example a profile called ‘carrier1’ is created with the carrier name ‘carrier_name.co.nz’.
