How to activate and configure a Telna SIM card

Overview

Once you receive your Telna SIM cards, you must register them with Telna prior to installation and use in the Node modem or any other device.

NOTE: The SIM cards are not activated until you register them, and the SIM cards do not have any data available on them.

Part 1: To register the SIM cards with Telna

1. Call Telna at +1 (888) 310-6791 and indicate you are a Teradek customer.
2. If you haven't already activated SIMs with Telna, you will create a new account with your customer details. If you have already registered Telna SIMs, provide your existing customer account.
3. Provide the ICCID number for each Telna SIM card that you received so that they can be associated with your customer account.
4. Finally, add credit to your account at https://teradek.telna.com. All Telna SIMs are pre-paid and no data is included.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure you have sufficient funds in your account to cover intended usage. If funds run out while streaming the Telna account does not automatically reload / top up the balance and any streaming will be suspended through the Telna SIMs.
• Additionally, it make take some time for the Telna SIMs to be allowed to reconnect to the network once a balance is added. If the Telna SIMs do not automatically reconnect after some time, you may need to physically disconnect/reconnect the Node, or disable/re-enable the Node in the device interface.

Part 2: Telna SIM card configuration

For use with Teradek devices:

1. Access the web UI of the device (Teradek Cube / Bond / Link / Link Pro, VidiU Go, etc.).
2. Navigate to the Network settings menu.
3. Select the corresponding USB modem or Node using the Telna SIM, then adjust the settings so that the APN is set to use altanwifi (for Telna SIM cards intended for use in the United States) or internet (for Telna SIM cards intended for use in Europe).

 IMPORTANT:

1. • Leave any Username / Password fields blank for the Telna SIM configuration-- do not fill in your Telna account email or password, or your Core account email and password.
   • Leave the configuration mode for the Node set to Auto -- do not choose a Custom / GSM or Custom / CDMA setting, as those will not work with the Node.

For use with third party devices:

• Your device must have data roaming enabled.
• Your device must be configured to use an APN value of altanwifi (for Telna SIM cards intended for use in the United States) or internet (for Telna SIM cards intended for use in Europe).
