M2M Cellular Gateway
7.1.5 Network Scan
"Network Scan" function can let administrator specify the device how to connect to the mobile
system for data communication in each 3G/4G interface. For example, administrator can specify which
generation of mobile system is used for connection, 2G, 3G or LTE. Moreover, he can define their
connection sequence for the gateway device to connect to the mobile system automatically.
Administrator also can scan the mobile systems in the air by manual, select the target operator system
and apply it. The manual scanning approach is used for problem diagnosis; however, the gateway
system will scan the mobile system automatically during normal operation.
In "Network Scan" page, there are two windows for the Network Scan function. The
"Configuration" window can let you select which 3G/4G module (physical interface) is used to perform
Network Scan, and system will show the current used SIM card in the module. You can configure each
3G/4G WAN interface by executing the network scanning one after another. You can also specify the
connection sequence of the targeted generation of mobile system, 2G/3G/LTE. The second window is
the "Network Provider List" window and it appears when the "Scan Approach" is Manually is selected
in the Configuration window. By clicking on the "Scan" button and wait for 1 to 3 minutes, the found
mobile operator system will be displayed for you to choose. Click again on the "Apply" button to drive
system to connect to that mobile operator system for the dedicated 3G/4G interface.
