This article explains how to configure SIM settings in Commander to enable mobile data connectivity on the scanner. Most mobile network providers do not require specific APN settings, so this procedure is only necessary when a provider does.

What you will need

  • Active SIM card with a mobile data plan.

  • APN details from the mobile network provider.

Contact a regional Emesent partner or Emesent directly for help choosing the best SIM.

Procedure

Step 1: Open Scanner Settings

  1. Open Commander and tap Options Menu on the left side of the screen.

  2. Scroll down and tap Scanner Settings to open the settings screen.

Step 2: Open Scanner SIM Settings

  1. Ensure the Scanner SIM Card toggle is enabled.

  2. Tap Scanner SIM Settings to open the setup screen.

Step 3: Configure APN settings

  1. Enter the APN in the APN field.

  2. Select the appropriate option from the Authentication Type field.

  3. Tap Save to apply the settings.

Step 4: Confirm the connection

  1. Confirm that a mobile reception icon appears in the System Indicators bar at the top of the screen.

Outcome

The scanner is connected to the mobile network and can receive RTK correction data.

Additional information

  • APN details are provided by the mobile network provider. Contact the provider to confirm the correct settings.

  • For further assistance, see the Scanner Settings troubleshooting article.

Troubleshooting

If Scanner Settings does not appear after tapping Options Menu, the Android device is not connected to the GX1 Scanner. Check that the GX1 Scanner is powered on and connected before opening Commander.
