Tip from Doctor Viking #12: iPhone and iPad Internet settings

Heads up! Since the latest iOS 6 update many of you Vikings mentioned the disappearance of their Internet settings. You could re-enter them every time your Internet connection is lost, but we’ve also found a more permanent solution. So here it is:

Surf to the following link and download the application ‘iPhone configuration utility’:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1466 (for Windows) or http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1465 (for Mac)

Once installed, launch the application.

Go to ‘File’ and select ‘New configuration profile’ (Windows) or
go to ‘Archive’ and select ‘New configuration profile (Mac).

For name, enter ‘Mobile Internet’.
For identifier enter ‘MV’.
Leave the other options open or unchanged.

Scroll down and select APN.

Enter the following data:
• APN: web.be
• Username: web
• Password: web

Click ‘Export’ and save your profile.

Connect your iPhone to a USB port on your computer and wait for the device to appear in the devices list in iPhone Configuration Utility.

Select your iPhone and click the Configuration Profiles tab.

Select your profile and click ‘Install’.

The following screen should appear on your iPhone. Once again, click install.

If you are using a passcode lock, your code will now be asked.

You will receive a notification that the installation is completed. Under ‘General’ you will now find an extra tab ‘Profile’ where you can find your settings.

However it will no longer be possible to change these settings on your iPhone. If you do want to change these settings, you will have to create a new profile and save it by following the steps described above.
