Provisioning Remote AP for USB Modems

To enable 3G or 4G network support, you must provision the Remote AP with the USB parameters on themanaged device. You can use the WebUI or CLI to provision the USB parameters.

The following procedure describes how to provisionRemote APforUSBUniversal Serial Bus. USB is a connection standard that offers a common interface for communication between the external devices and a computer. USB is the most common port used in the client devices.modems:

1.In theManaged Networknode hierarchy, navigate to theConfiguration > Access Points > Remote APs选项卡。
