Prerequisites

* Be within range of your Celona private mobile network.

* Acquire a Celona SIM, activate the SIM in the Celona Orchestrator, and assign it to the Celona Edge instance that corresponds to your Celona private mobile network topology.

We assume a start with the Zebra TC26EK CBRS handheld is brand new or has just been through the Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth process.

Configuration steps

Install the Celona SIM. Remove the battery, SIM cover, and install the Celona SIM. Replace the SIM cover and battery. Power on the device.

While the cellular signal icon indicates signal, a ping will fail. You will need to create an Access Point Name in the device settings. In this example, we use PingTools from the Play Store.

Create an Access Point Name

On the main screen, swipe down twice to expand the window and click on the gear on the lower right to get to the Settings screen.

In the Settings screen, click on Network & internet.

In the Network & internet screen, click on the Mobile network, Celona.

In the Network Settings screen, expand Advanced.

Scroll down to and select Access Point Names

In the APNs screen, click on the + icon to create a new APN.

For the new APN, set Name and APN to default.

Click on the 3 dots in the upper right to save

Verify that the new APN is in the APNs list.

Confirm basic connectivity
