(Optional) Configuring an APN Profile (A Single SIM Card and Dual APNs)

Procedure

1. Create an APN profile.
   1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

   2. Run apn profile profile-name

      An APN profile is created and the APN profile view is displayed.

      By default, no APN profile is created.

   3. Run apn apn-name

      An APN is configured.

      By default, no APN is configured in the APN profile.

      • APNs are provided by the carrier.
      • Generally, China Mobile provides the APN CMNET, China Telecom provides the APN CTLTE, and China Unicom provides the APN 3GNET.
      • After an APN is configured, it is permanently recorded in an LTE data card. If the APN changes, reconfigure it.

   4. (Optional) Run user name username password { cipher | simple } password [ authentication-mode { auto | pap | chap } ]

      The user name, password, and authentication mode for accessing the external PDN network are configured.

      By default, no user name, password, and authentication mode for accessing an external PDN network are configured.

      Contact the carrier when configuring the user name, password, and authentication mode.

      • Select a proper authentication mode based on the carrier network. PAP authentication provides lower security. When you specify auto or pap to enable the device to use PAP authentication, the password is transmitted in plain text on the network. This brings potential security risks.

      • When you specify simple, the password is saved in plain text in the configuration, which brings potential security risks. You are advised to specify cipher to save the password in the cipher text.

   5. (Optional) Run dialer-number dial-number

      A dialer number is configured for an APN to dial up the remote device.

      By default, the dialer number for dialing up the remote device is not configured.

   6. Run quit

      Return to the system view.

   You need to repeat this step to create multiple APN profiles for accessing different external PDN networks.

2. Enable the multi-APN function.
   1. Run interface cellular interface-number

      The LTE cellular interface view is displayed.

   2. Run multi-apn enable

      The multi-APN function is enabled on the LTE cellular interface.

      By default, the multi-APN function is disabled on an LTE cellular interface.

      The multi-APN functions can be configured only on the LTE cellular interface (Cellular 0/0/0) supported by the AR611W-LTE4CN, AR617VW-LTE4, and AR617VW-LTE4EA.

      V300R019C00 version:

      LTE interface cards (except 1ELTE6-EA, 1LTE6-EA, and 1LTE-Lo) support the multi-APN configuration.

      V300R019C10 version:

      LTE interface cards (except 1LTE6-EA, 1ELTE-L-S and 1LTE-Lo) support the multi-APN configuration.

      V300R019C11 and later versions:

      LTE interface cards (except 1LTE6-EA and 1LTE-Lo) support the multi-APN configuration.

   3. Run quit

      Return to the system view.

3. Bind the APN profiles to the LTE channel interfaces.
   1. Run interface cellular interface-number

      The LTE channel interface view is displayed.

   2. Run apn-profile profile-name [ track nqa { admin-name test-name }&<1-2> ]

      The APN profiles are bound to the LTE channel interfaces.

      By default, no APN profile is bound to an LTE channel interface.

      If track nqa is specified, the device performs an NQA probe on the LTE network when the dial-up initiated through an LTE channel interface succeeds. The device terminates the LTE link after three consecutive NQA probe failures. Additionally, you can run the dialer timer probe-interval command to set the NQA probe interval.

   You need to repeat this step to bind APN profiles to another LTE channel interface.
