Table 66 Interface Cellular Commands
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
[no] interface interface_name
Creates the specified interface if necessary and enters
sub-command mode. The
no command deletes the
specified interface.
account profile_name
Specifies the ISP account for the specified cellular
interface.
[no] band {auto|wcdma|gsm|lte}
Sets (or clears) the cellular band that the cellular interface
uses.
auto has the Zyxel Device always use the fastest network
that is in range.
gsm has this interface only use a 2.5G or 2.75G network
(respectively). If you only have a GSM network available
to you, you may want to use this so the Zyxel Device does
not spend time looking for a WCDMA network.
wcdma has this interface only use a 3G or 3.5G network
(respectively). You may want to use this if you want to
make sure the interface does not use the GSM network.
lte has this interface only use a 4G LTE network. This option
only appears when a USG dongle for 4G technology is
inserted.
[no] network-selection {auto|home}
Home network is the network to which you are originally
subscribed.
Home has the 3G device connect only to the home
network. If the home network is down, the
Zyxel Device's
3G Internet connection is also unavailable.
Auto is the default setting and allows the 3G device to
connect to a network to which you are not subscribed
when necessary, for example when the home network is
down or another 3G base station's signal is stronger. This is
recommended if you need continuous Internet
connectivity. If you select this, you may be charged using
the rate of a different network.
[no] budget active
Sets a monthly limit for the user account of the installed 3G
card. You can set a limit on the total traffic and/or call
time. The Zyxel Device takes the actions you specified
when a limit is exceeded during the month. Use the no
command to disable budget control.
[no] budget time active <1..672>
Sets the amount of time (in hours) that the 3G connection
can be used within one month. If you change the value,
the Zyxel Device resets the statistics. Use the no command
to disable time budget control.
