ICT Protege WX Configuration Guide

Connection
⦁ Cellular Modem: This option configures the controller to communicate with the Protege DINRail Cellular
Modem connected to its USBport. This is currently the only USBEthernet connection option.
When this option is enabled the details of the cellular connection will be displayed.
For cellular modem information and programming instructions, see the Protege DINRail Cellular Modem
Installation Manual and Protege DINRail Cellular Modem Configuration Guide, available from the ICT website.
Cellular Network Connection
⦁ Cellular APN*: The APN (Access Point Name) defines the network path for cellular data connectivity. The APN
is specified by the mobile network operator (MNO) and is unique to that network, so it is important to use the
correct APN for the cellular service required.
⦁ Cellular Username*: The username for the cellular network account.
⦁ Cellular Password*: The password for the cellular network account.
Cellular Options
⦁ Enable Debug*: When enabled, debug events are logged to the event log to help diagnose setup issues with
the cellular modem. This would generally be enabled only during initial configuration or troubleshooting and
should be disabled during standard operation.
⦁ Enable Watchdog*: When enabled, this option will prompt an automatic restart of the controller in the event
that a critical fault is detected with the cellular modem that cannot be resolved. This option would typically
only be enabled during fault finding.
Cellular Information
The cellular information section displays the cellular network connection status and details.
⦁ External Modem Detected: Indicates whether the controller is able to communicate with the cellular modem
connected to its USBport.
⦁ SIMDetected: Indicates whether the controller is able to detect the cellular modem's SIM.
⦁ SIMProvider: Displays the provider of the SIM, if detected.
⦁ Signal Strength: The current strength of the wireless connection.
The signal strength can only be displayed once a connection to a cell tower is established. When the cellular
modem is performing initial configuration, has been automatically reset, or is initially searching for a network,
Signal Not Measured will be displayed. This does not indicate a problem with the signal.
⦁ Network Registration Status:
- Registered (home): Displayed when the cellular modem is successfully connected to a network inside the
SIM home region.
- Registered (roaming): Displayed when the cellular modem is successfully connected to a network outside
the SIM home region.
- Not registered: Displayed when the cellular modem is detected but no connection has been established.
- Not registered, seeking: Displayed when the cellular modem is actively seeking a network to connect to.
- Denied: The network actively refused the connection attempt by the cellular modem.
- Unknown: The cellular modem cannot currently determine network connection status.
⦁ Current Network Provider: The mobile network operator that the cellular modem is currently connected to.
⦁ Current Technology: The cellular technology that the cellular modem is connected with.
⦁ Internet Connection Status: Identifies whether the cellular modem's internet connection is valid.
⦁ IPAddress: The IPaddress assigned to the cellular modem by the network provider.
