Configuring APN on Android devices (only Samsung)

Configuration of APN is possible only for Samsung devices.

A SIM card must be inserted to be able to use an access point on the user's mobile device. Access point settings are provided by the mobile telephony operator. Incorrect access point settings may result in additional mobile telephony charges.

To configure the Access Point Name (APN) settings:

1. In the console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group to which the Android devices belong.
2. In the workspace of the group, select the Policies tab.
3. Open the policy properties window by double-clicking any column.

   Complete the following steps within 15 minutes. Otherwise, you may face an error when saving changes to the policy.

4. In the policy Properties window, select the Manage Samsung KNOX → APN section.
5. In the APN section, click the Configure button.

   The APN settings window opens.

6. On the General tab, specify the following access point settings:
   1. In the APN type drop-down list, select the type of access point.
   2. In the APN name field, specify the name of the access point.
   3. In the MCC field, enter the mobile country code (MCC).
   4. In the MNC field, enter the mobile network code (MNC).

      • In the MMS server field, specify the full domain name of the mobile carrier's server used for MMS exchange.
      • In the MMS proxy server field, specify the network name or IP address of the proxy server and the port number of the mobile carrier's server used for MMS exchange.
7. On the Additional tab, configure the additional settings of the Access Point Name (APN):
   1. In the Authentication type drop-down list, select the type of mobile device user's authentication on the mobile carrier's server for network access.
   2. In the Server address field, specify the network name of the mobile carrier's server through which data transmission services are accessed.
