There are two ways to configure an Android device to work with the Eseye APN:
- Replace the existing apns-conf.xml file
- Use the graphic interface to alter the APN details
Replacing the apns-conf.xml file
Use the file titled anps-conf.xml located below or at: https://eseye.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/360000725293/apns-conf.xml.
This file requires root access, for more details see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android)
Use the command adb push apns-conf.xml /etc to upload the file via adb, for more details see: http://adbshell.com/commands/adb-push to the /etc folder.
Use the graphic interface to alter the APN details
The Android system that this has been tested and screenshots are used from is: Samsung Galaxy S5 Android version 6.0.1
Step 1:
Navigate to the “Mobile networks” settings page.
You can do this by long pressing on “Mobile data” icon in the quick settings drop down menu (available from any screen).
-OR-
By using the menu string “Settings” “More Networks” > “Mobile networks”.
Step 2:
Enable “Mobile Data” and “Data roaming” and then press on “Access Point Names”.
This will list a number of Access Point Names that Android has pre-loaded in its database.
As we use a custom Private APN, you will need to add a new one by pressing on the “+” sign in the top right corner.
Step 3:
Enter in the following details for the new APN:
APN: eseye.com
Username: Android – (This can be anything you like, as long as it is not blank)
Password: pass
Authentication type: PAP or CHAP
All other fields can be left at their default values or removed so that they show “Not set”.
Step 4:
Press on the 3 dots in the top right corner and “Save”.
This may take a while to authenticate, but very soon you will see the data icon in the status bar to show that you are now connected to mobile data.
