Configuring WWAN Settings

From a network profile, you can configure WWAN settings for your devices with WWAN capabilities. These settings will be deployed with the profile and applied on the device. The options include:

Connection Name

A name for the connection.

Connection Type

There are two connection types available for your WWAN-enabled devices:

APN (GPRS / EDGE / 3G). Provide a domain (Access Point Name) if you are using this type of connection. An example of an APN would be: wap.cingular

Dial-Up. Type the number to be dialed by the modem. This does not correspond to the number of the device.

Credentials

Sets the Username, Password, and Domain credentials for the connection when they are necessary.

Custom Properties

This option allows you to add custom properties to the devices that receive this network profile. By clicking Edit/View, you can add, edit, and delete properties and their values.

Enable TCP/IP header compression

Improves the performance of low-speed connections.

Enable software compression

Improves the performance of low-speed connections.

Activate phone as needed

Allows the Enabler to activate the device’s phone if a WWAN connection is necessary.

Dial broadband connection as needed

Allows the Enabler to attempt a WWAN connection if a LAN connection cannot be established.

Public IP address for Avalanche Server

Provides the IP address of the enterprise server that is accessible from a WWAN. This is necessary if the device tries to contact the server when connecting from outside of the server’s local network.
