      I'm reading through a pfSense doc showing how to congigure 3G modems:-

      https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_3G_modems

      and it seems quite a bit different to what I see using pfSense (2.3.4-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)).

      I have assigned a new interface (OPT1) with  PPP as an IPv4 Configuration Type.

      A phone number of *99# is assigned as is an Access Point Name of 3internet and a Modem port of /dev/cuau0.

      I don't have a Username or Password. I can connect using my tablet without having to enter any values, so I presume I don't need to.

      I enter Country, Provide and Plan, which are not shown after saving and applying changes.

      What more do I need to do to connect?

      On the Dashboard under Interfaces OPT1 a red arrow ponting down appears. What do I need to do to connect?
