command-line configuration networkmanager modem gsm

                          I have a system without X display and I want to use nmcli to configure my cell modem to connect to a certain apn. I can get it going with this modem just fine on Ubuntu (with X) and I would like to achieve the same now on the command line. How can I setup the connection?

so far I get this:

    # nmcli dev status
    
    ** (process:2379): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: Permissions request failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
    DEVICE     TYPE              STATE        
    ttyUSB1    gsm               disconnected 
    eth0       802-3-ethernet    connected
