Description
Rank the available WAN interfaces by selecting the order of priority. The highest priority
interface will become the default route for IP traffic. The default order of priority is:
Ethernet—First
•
Cellular—Second
•
If the highest-priority interface is not available, the gateway attempts to connect to the
second-highest priority interface. Interface priority is evaluated as follows:
Ethernet—Does the gateway have an IP address from the router?
•
Cellular—Can the gateway access the Mobile Network Operator's network?

Bandwidth Throttle

This feature helps you manage your data account by allowing you to configure the
AirLink gateway to restrict the real-time available bandwidth. You can:
• Place limits on traffic (uplink, downlink, or both)
• Allow for burst of traffic on the uplink, downlink, or both, while still maintaining
the over-all desired bandwidth limit
Traffic that exceeds the limits is dropped. Status fields keep running tallies of data
sent and received and the number of uplink and downlink packets dropped.
