Wan/Cellular Configuration; Monitoring Wan Connections - Sierra Wireless AirLink RV50 Series User Manual

4: WAN/Cellular Configuration

The WAN/Cellular tab in ACEmanager allows you to view and modify mobile network
connection settings. The settings available depend on the gateway model and the
radio module. This chapter is divided into sections based on the left side menu items.
The first time you power up the gateway on its home network, it automatically begins
the activation/provisioning process and attempts to connect to the network. This
process typically takes 5–10 minutes. If the gateway does not automatically connect
to the network, see
Note: The fields displayed vary depending on the ACEmanager settings.

Monitoring WAN Connections

ALEOS enables you to:
• Monitor each WAN interface—cellular and Ethernet WAN
—independently, regardless of which one is active
and to
• Set the priority for each WAN interface
Monitoring confirms whether or not the interface provides connectivity from the
gateway to a ping destination on the WAN. Interface priority enables you to choose
which interface has priority and which interface to switch to if the highest-priority
interface is not available.
Interface priority checks the link layer connection (for example, in an Ethernet WAN
setup, the connection to the router). It does not verify whether or not the router has a
WAN connection. With monitoring, you can configure the gateway to ping a
destination on the WAN. If the gateway does not receive a response to the ping, it
attempts to connect to the next highest priority interface. See
Table 4-1.
