Carrier Smart Select
Note If one of the SIM cards requires a custom or unique APN, you will need to add this APN to the Digi
EX15 configuration under the Modem > APN option.
By default, the Digi EX15 plug-in modem is set up for automatic SIM selection. That is, if the Digi EX15
is unable to connect with the SIM in slot 1, after a specified number of failures (5 by default) the Digi
EX15 will automatically switch to use the SIM in slot 2. For this setup, you will need two SIM cards
enabled, provisioned, and installed in the plug-in modem's SIM slots. The two cards can be from the
same carrier or from different carriers.
Load balancing
Traffic can be balanced between the Ethernet and Cellular WAN interfaces. This feature, often
referred to as load balancing, uses an interface's Weight value, defined under the IPv4 expandable
menu. The interfaces being balanced must share the same Metric value.
