Cellular Configuration Fields
Field Description
General Configuration
Enabled Allows the device to establish a cellular connection (Cellular WAN).
Dial-on-Demand
1
Enables the Dial-on-Demand feature. If enabled, the device brings up and
maintains a cellular connection while network activity on the LAN requires
WAN access. The device brings down the cellular connection when outgoing
network traffic ceases for the given Idle Timeout duration. Enable this
feature when Wakeup-on-Call is enabled to allow the device to "sleep" after
it has been "woken up." See Configuring Wakeup-on-Call for more
information.
Diversity Allows the use of two antennas to increase receive signal quality. Not all
models support diversity. If diversity is enabled, connect a second cellular
antenna to the AUX port on the device. Otherwise, the cellular performance
of the device may degrade.
Connect Timeout The time (in seconds) that the device waits before it deems that the
connection attempt has failed. The value used is the amount of time that
elapses between each dialing retry.
Dialing Max Retries Number of dialing retries allowed; the default is zero, which means an
infinite number is allowed.
Modem Configuration
Dial Number The modem dial string is:
*99***1# for GSM/GPRS/non-Verizon LTE devices
#777 for CDMA/EVDO devices
Connect String The modem response to initiate a PPP connection, usually CONNECT.
Dial Prefix The modem AT command that initiates a PPP connection, usually ATDT or
ATD.
