Configure SIMfailover
For TransPort routers equipped with dual SIMs, you can configure the router to fail over from one
SIMto another.
A SIMfailover configuration will failover to a temporary “on demand” cellular connection using the
second SIM card. When the second SIM card is in use, after a specified period of inactivity or after a
maximum amount of time has been reached or the inactivity timeout is reached, the backup link will
deactivate and the TransPort will attempt to use the first SIM card again. This method is useful when
it is not desirable to use the second SIM card indefinitely, for example, if some functionality is lost or
the data charges are higher.
