APN:
An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The
service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection. Requirements for APN
assignment varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet portal
which they connect a DHCP Server to, giving you access to the internet i.e. Some 3G operators use the
APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value of APN is “internet”.
Username:

Password:

Auth. Protocol:
Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP
(Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using (when
acting as a client), or the authentication type you want the clients to use when they are connecting to you
(when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the
password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder
has not replaced the client.
MTU:
Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific headers)
that IP will attempt to send through the interface.
PIN:
PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain
systems as a password to gain access, and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM
card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row,
then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK code will be required from your network / service provider to
unlock it.
