AN (Access Point Name)

This command applies to the XBee Cellular Modem.

Specifies the packet data network that the modem uses for Internet connectivity. This information is provided by your cellular network operator. After you set this value, applying changes with AC (Apply Changes) or CN (Exit Command mode) triggers a network reset.

In order to meet network requirements, on Verizon 4G, the APN value in the cellular component is only changed when AN has been run (with the same or a different value) and changes are applied.

When you change APN and after you send AC, wait for AI to return 0, and for OA (Operating APN) to return the APN that you set.

Hyphen ( - ) means no APN is being specified. On Verizon 4G, this leaves the APN in the cellular component alone. On 3G Global, this configures the cellular component to use an APN supplied by the network. This depends on your service plan.

Some common APN values are:
