Description
Allows the device to establish a cellular connection (Cellular WAN).
Enables the Dial-on-Demand feature. If enabled, the device brings up and
maintains a cellular connection while network activity on the LAN requires
WAN access. The device brings down the cellular connection when outgoing
network traffic ceases for the given Idle Timeout duration. Enable this
feature when Wakeup-on-Call is enabled to allow the device to "sleep" after
it has been "woken up." See Configuring Wakeup-on-Call for more
information.
Allows the use of two antennas to increase receive signal quality. Not all
models support diversity. If diversity is enabled, connect a second cellular
antenna to the AUX port on the device. Otherwise, the cellular performance
of the device may degrade.
The time (in seconds) that the device waits before it deems that the
connection attempt has failed. The value used is the amount of time that
elapses between each dialing retry.
Number of dialing retries allowed; the default is zero, which means an
infinite number is allowed.
The modem dial string is:
The modem response to initiate a PPP connection, usually CONNECT.
The modem AT command that initiates a PPP connection, usually ATDT or
ATD.
