Cellular

This chapter describes how to configure the settings to register to cellular network.

Prerequisites

  • The supported frequencies of the SIM card matches the device model.
  • Ensure the SIM card has sufficient balance and works properly in other devices.
  • Ensure the device has installed the SIM card.
  • Gather SIM information from the cellular operator.

  1. On the left bar, select Network page.

  2. On the top bar, select Cellular tab.
  3. Configure the cellular settings as required.

Ping Detection

Ping detection allows the gateway to detect the cellular connection regularly to ensure stable connectivity.
  1. On the left bar, select Network page.

  2. On the top bar, select Cellular tab.
  3. Enable ping detection and configure the related parameters.

    Parameter Description
    Enable After enabled, the device will periodically detect the connection status of the link by sending ICMP packets.
    Note: It is suggested to disable this option if the gateway is connected to a private, non-Internet network.
    Primary Server (IPv4) The IPv4 server address that the gateway pings to determine whether the connection is still available.
    Secondary Server (IPv4) The IPv4 server address that the gateway tries to ping if the primary server is unavailable.
    Interval The interval between two Ping attempts.
    Retry Interval The interval to retry the ping if the previous ping reaches the timeout and does not reach the max retry times.
    Timeout The maximum time that the gateway waits for a ping response. If no response is received within this time, the ping request is considered failed.
    Max Ping Retries The number of times that the gateway retries sending a ping request before determining that the connection has failed.
  4. Click Save & Apply to save the settings.
