Chapter 2 Cellular Connections
2.1 Cellular Configuration
Cellular connectivity can be obtained through the use of an internal (embedded) RF Module.
Your Red Lion router has an embedded cellular radio that is already detected and configured for the intended carrier. If you
are using a carrier that supports the use of an APN, you may have to set your specific APN manually, as covered in the next
section. For GSM and LTE service, carriers may provide custom APNs for static IP addresses of VPNs scenarios depending
on the type of account.
CDMA carriers such as Verizon and Sprint 3G do not rely on a SIM card and are activated over the air. See the Cellular Pro‐
visioning section of the manual for more details on CDMA OTA activations.
Embedded modules for CDMA (Sprint / Verizon) should activate automatically over the air once they are powered on and
connected to an antenna. This of course is after you contact your carrier and have an account enabled and connected to
the embedded module by providing the ESN / MEID number from the module to your carrier. This is how the carrier will
tie your account to the internal cellular radio. For some CDMA based 1xRTT internal modules and Sprint Data‐Link connec‐
tions, additional configuration must be set in the Provisioning screen, detailed later.
Navigate through the Web UI menu to Networking  Cellular Connection  Configuration screen shown in section 2.1.1.
GSM based carriers, such as AT&T, Bell Mobility and Telus will require a SIM card be inserted into the unit and an APN code
to be entered to confirm you are the verified user of that SIM. Be sure to only insert and remove the SIM card while the
unit is powered off.
You can verify your cellular connectivity by viewing the Status Summary page of the web UI screen and observe if the Cel‐
lular Interface status shows an IP Address. On the Home screen you should see: Interface, Activation, Connection, IP
