If it is not configured, the cellular interface is presented on the interface list either by modem USB address, or if serial modem is used, by modem name. This 'fake' interface name is replaced by 'proper' interface name (e.g., ppp0) when the first modem configuration is submitted.

The cellular interface should be configured by first enabling it in the **TCP/IP** tab, and then setting the **Cellular** tab. Note that the cellular interface can only be set as _WAN using DHCP_. The cellular interface configuration options are described below.

In specific profiles, cellular reconnections are handled by the _pppd_ daemon using the parameters described above. In generic profiles, this responsibility is delegated to ModemManager and NetworkManager. In this case, a connection attempt is made when the configuration is applied, when the modem has been reset and subsequently every five minutes.
