OnCell G3100 Series Using the Web Console
GuaranLink Settings
Overview
Connection failures of wireless connections can be caused by a number of different factors, including loss of
cellular signal, interference, or termination by the operator for unknown reasons. Typically, cellular routers will
not be alerted when a connection is terminated due to inactivity. Since maintaining a stable cellular connection
is important for a number of obvious reasons, OnCell cellular routers offer the GuaranLink function, which
ensures that your wireless connection will be there whenever you need it.
Background
“Register to network” and “Establish PPP with ISP” are two steps for establishing connection with the ISP.
If GuaranLink determines that the OnCell cannot establish a connection with the ISP, it reboots the OnCell in
order to allow the OnCell to retry the connection once it reboots.
Common Settings
GuaranLink (default=Disable): Enable this setting to start the GuaranLink function.
Register to network timeout (min) (default=10): This setting specifies how long GuaranLink should wait
to register to the network before the OnCell reboots itself.
PPP retry count (default=3 mins) This setting specifies how many times GuaranLink should retry
establishing PPP with the ISP before OnCell reboots itself.
DNS/Ping remote host 1 and DNS/Ping remote host 2: This setting for “Cellular connection alive
check” and “Packet-level connection check.” specifies the target host of the DNS lookup and Ping action.
Can be either a domain name or an IP address.
