Mobile (Cellular) Settings
The Mobile Settings pages configure how to connect to mobile (cellular) networks using the mobile
connection, including the service provider, service plan, and connection settings used in connecting to
the mobile network. If your Digi device has not already been provisioned for use in the mobile
network, you can launch a wizard to provision it from these pages. In addition, you can configure
settings for Digi SureLink, a feature that provides an "always-on" mobile network connection to
ensure rapid on-demand communication. The SureLink configuration settings allow you to customize
how SureLink detects when a connection has been lost, in order to re-establish the link. These
settings also load a preferred roaming list (PRL) into the cellular module.
Information required from your mobile service provider
To connect to the mobile network, you must get a set of network settings from the mobile service
provider including service plan and authentication details. For more information, consult the
documentation that came with your mobile service provider's information.
Different processes used for CDMA and GSM provisioning
The process for provisioning your Digi device and the settings displayed on the Mobile Configuration
page vary according to whether the mobile service provider network used with your Digi Connect WAN
Family product is based on CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) or GSM (Global System for Mobile
communication).
CDMA-based mobile service providers
Device provisioning for a CDMA-based mobile service provider consists of selecting the service
provider from a list and either automatically or manually entering mobile settings provided by the
mobile service provider Examples of CDMA-based mobile service providers include Sprint or Verizon.
GSM-based mobile services providers
Device provisioning for a GSM-based mobile service provider involves inserting a Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) card into the Digi device, which makes subscription data available in the cellular
network. Examples of GSM-based mobile service providers include AT&T and T-Mobile.
Set mobile configuration settings to factory defaults
The Set to Defaults button on the Mobile Configuration page sets all the mobile settings to factory
defaults and sets the Service Provider selection back to deselected.
