Changing SIM slots and APNs

In this example, the m519 has already been pre-provisioned with a Verizon nano-SIM in slot 1 and an AT&T nano-SIM in slot 2. The APNs have been pre-programmed onto the device for your convenience. This will ensure that the router connects to a carrier as soon as the device is powered on.

The m519 was also pre-configured to utilize cellular failover with the preferred SIM being slot 1. You have the option to turn this feature off if needed or change these settings to your preference.
