Follow the steps:

Step 1: When the charger is unscrewed, you have a 4G dongle on the left side inside the charging point (see image). This is attached to the USB connector by default. Disconnect it, remove the cap and insert the SIM card as shown in the figure.

Step 2: Connect the laptop to the charger via the Ethernet cable.

Here, it is important that you take the Ethernet port next to the 4G dongle.

Step 3: Open the browser on your laptop and enter the following IP address: http://169.254.1.1:8300/. This then puts you in the charging station's interface.

Step 4: When in the interface, click on connectivity and then cellular.

Step 5: Change the APN, you can leave the username and password blank. Then click save.

Step 9: Click save.
