The range is 20 to 86,400 seconds. CloudKey If using the Baicells CloudCore, enter the operator's unique CloudKey. When the device powers up the first time it will automatically be added to the operator's OMC account.
3.9.6 SNMP The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for connecting a device with a Network Management System (NMS) server. An operator's NMS can monitor and control the connected CPEs that have SNMP enabled. The NMS is able to collect event logs, alarm logs, and other data from those CPEs. To enable SNMP, select the Enable check box (Figure 56).
Caution: Do not power off the CPE or disconnect it from the computer during an upgrade. To update (upgrade) the CPE to a different firmware version (Figure 57): 1. Download the image file from the Baicells support website (Baicells > Support > Downloads), and save it to your computer.
3.9.8 Ping Watchdog Ping Watchdog is a feature used for detecting the Internet connection state of the CPE. If the CPE cannot connect to the Internet, if this feature is enabled it will reset the LTE module in the CPE firmware or reboot the CPE in an attempt to recover the connection.
3.9.9.1 Ping Ping is used to manually initiate a ping test to check connection status. Running a ping test will send data packets of a specified size from the CPE over the network to a target IP address. The results of ping determine if there is a connection and if there is any packet loss.
Figure 61: Traceroute 3.10 Reboot Use the Reboot menu to perform a reboot of the CPE, as shown in Figure 62. It can take several minutes for the reboot to complete. After it reboots, the CPE GUI will display the login screen. Caution: The reboot action will disrupt service.
