    4: Preparing the Network Interfaces By default the oMG comes pre configured with devices which can provide both WAN and LAN connectivity. It's recommended that the settings for each device be verified before using the oMG. This will help to ensure that each device has been recognized by the system and is properly configured to provide LAN or WAN data communications.

  • Page 14: 5: Setting Up The Wan

    5: Setting up the WAN The oMG can access a WAN through cellular, WiFi, and wired Ethernet connection(s). Cellular WAN access is the most common method while the oMG is travelling in a vehicle and WiFi WAN access is often used when a vehicle returns to a depot where an AP is available for the oMG to connect to as a client.

  • Page 15: Cellular Wan Link Configuration

    Additional information on common cellular settings is available in Cellular WAN Link Configuration Settings on page 68. For more information on specific settings for your card contact your Mobile Network Operator or Sierra Wireless Technical Support (see Contact Information on page 3).

    Operation and Configuration Guide 3.14 5.4.3 Geographical Regions Policy Overview The Geographic Region Policy increments a link's score to make it the preferable WAN link for a defined geographic bounding region. Up to three regions can be defined per link. This policy is often used when the quality and/or cost of coverage for a particular area is known ahead of time and selection of the best WAN link can be decided in advance (i.e.

  • Page 28: Velocity Policy Overview

    Operation and Configuration Guide 3.14 5.4.5 Velocity Policy Overview The Velocity Policy penalizes one link so that others become preferable based on velocity. It accomplishes this by applying a penalty on a WAN link when the oMG detects that the vehicle is exceeding a specified speed threshold. This is done to proactively switch off a link in a managed way prior to the link actually failing, which would require both the connection and VPN to be re-established.

  • Page 29: Signal Strength Policy Overview

    Setting up the WAN 5.4.6 Signal Strength Policy Overview The Signal Strength Policy is typically used for the selection of WiFi and cellular connections based on signal strengths (e.g. when located in an area with good cellular coverage). In other words, it penalizes a link so that other links become preferable and thus proactively selected based on signal strengths.
  • Page 30 Operation and Configuration Guide 3.14 should be superior to that of the cellular link, when WiFi is available. The WiFi link has been assigned a penalty of 600 which will cause its score to fall below that of the cellular link when the WiFi connection is lost. The Velocity Policy has also been applied to the WiFi link with a speed threshold of 25mph and a penalty of 600.
