The Roaming feature is specific to Vodafone. Normally disabled,

Roaming can be enabled via the ACEmanager UI (user interface) orby AT Command.

Vodafone Roaming

Vodafone Roaming, a radio module setting, consists of a

configuration feature and a status setting feature.

The Vodafone Roaming feature sets the Raven XE/MC8795 radio

module to a Vodafone-specific roaming configuration. This featuremust first be enabled through the ACEmanager UI.

On the WAN/Cellular Network Credentials GSM screen (Advancedsetting), the following configuration settings are available:

Set Roaming:

Dont Change (default)

Default

V Carrier Specific.

Status

The roaming status setting (Roaming Setting Status) appears abovethe Set Roaming field in the Advanced settings.

To enable Vodafone roaming, the user must select the V CarrierSpecific setting and reboot his device. The new settings take effect

after the reboot. To change to default roaming, the user selects theDefault setting and reboots.

Note: The V Carrier Select setting displays rather than Voda Roaming in

order to avoid mentioning a specific carrier in the ACEmanager UI.
