# Access the Cellular Gateway Local Server Page

The local server serves as a way for you to connect to [Verkada’s GC31 Cellular Gateway](https://www.verkada.com/cellular-gateway). You can apply custom access point name (APN) settings using the local server page.

To configure your [SIM card](/connectivity/configuration/add-cellular-gateway-to-command/cellular-gateway-dual-sim-support.md) prior to establishing a connection, use the local server.
