Mobile PPP parameters
Mobile telephone modules fitted into the router use PPP to connect to the network and send and
receive traffic. This section describes parameters relevant to setting up a mobile telephone module.
Use SIM Any, SIM1, SIM2
Select which of the installed SIM cards the module should use.
Detach W-WAN if the link fails
When enabled, causes the router to issue the command to detach the mobile telephone module
from the wireless network if it detects that the link has failed. Link failure is detected by a PPP
ping response timer or by a firewall request.
Detach W-WAN between connection attempts
Controls whether the module stays attached to the network if multiple connection attempts are
required to establish a connection. This functionality may be useful if the connection to the
mobile telephone network is not very reliable. Connecting to the mobile telephone network to
send and receive data is a two-stage process. The first stage is where the module signals its wish
to join the network and is accepted by the local cell. The second stage involves negotiating the
link parameters and transferring data. Sometimes it may be necessary to cleanly detach from
the network in order to start the process from the ground up.
