The Access Point Name (APN) is a network identifier used by the device to connect to the cellular network's packet data network. Configuration options:
- Default APN: Most carriers automatically configure the correct APN.
-
Manual Configuration: If needed, APN can be configured through Kconfig:
CONFIG_PDN_DEFAULT_APN="Access point name"
Common scenarios for APN configuration:
- Using a custom/private APN.
- Connecting to specific network services.
- Working with MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators).
Note
In most cases, the default APN provided by the carrier should work without additional configuration.
