Automatic APN

As of LCOS 10.80 mobile routers support the option of using the APN from the internal carrier list of the operating system. It is no longer necessary to manually configure an APN for a WWAN connection. A manual configuration of the APN is only necessary for private APNs or private mobile networks. With the automatic selection of the APN, all common mobile phone providers are supported. For this purpose, the provider is queried from the SIM card (MCC/MNC) and searched for in the internal database.

The new parameter for this is the APN modeunder Interfaces > WAN > Mobile settings > Mobile profiles.





APN mode
Defines in which mode the APN is to be used.
  • With Automatic, the APN is taken from the internal database of the provider settings of the operating system. For this purpose, the provider is queried from the SIM card (MCC/MNC) and searched for in the internal database. The "Automatic" mode only works with public provider APNs and not with private APNs. For private APNs, the mode must be set to "Manual" and the APN entered in the "APN" field.
  • For Manual, the APN from the APN field is used
