    To configure the Mini-PIM: NOTE: If a services gateway with factory-default settings is powered on with the LTE Mini-PIM installed in slot 1, the dialer interface is triggered to dial automatically. This functionality is applicable only if the Mini-PIM is installed in slot 1. If the Mini-PIM is installed in any other slot, then you will need to manually configure the cl-slot-number/0/0 interface to be associated with the dialer interface.
