It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN configured on your Cat S32. So we therefore decided to write this content to fix this problem. We will first of all see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Cat S32. Finally, we will see in which situations you must change the APN on the Cat S32.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Cat S32 to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Cat S32 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Cat S32
When you want to set up an APN on your Cat S32, you must navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you are there, you should click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will then access a form that you must fill in with the data of your operator. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You have to repeat 2 times the process on your Cat S32. In truth, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Cat S32?
Typically, you don’t always need to set up an APN on your Cat S32 as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several situations that need the configuration of an APN on your Cat S32. This is for example the case if you bought your used Cat S32 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
