Setting the network configuration

Last Updated : Feb 05, 2024 |

About this task

Use this procedure to set the network configuration to Auto or Manual. You need to perform this procedure if your phone is not configured to connect to Ethernet or a specific Wi-Fi network.

When network configuration is Auto, every time the phone restarts, it connects to the pre-configured network your administrator has set up.

When network configuration is Manual, every time the phone restarts, it connects to the network that you manually configured by Setting the network mode or Connecting to a Wi-Fi network, irrespective of the pre-configured network that your administrator has set up.

Note:

When you change the connected network, the phone automatically sets the Network config to Manual.
