Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
The TX54 device is now configured to use the cellular modem WWAN, WWAN or WWAN1, as its highest
priority WAN, and its Ethernet WAN, WAN1, as its secondary WAN.
WAN/WWAN failover
If a connection to a WAN interface is lost for any reason, the TX54 device will immediately fail over to
the next WAN or WWAN interface, based on WAN priority. See
default route metrics
Active vs. passive failure detection
There are two ways to detect WAN or WWAN failure: active detection and passive detection.
Active detection uses Digi SureLink
n
the status of the interface. The WAN/WWAN is considered to be down if there are no responses
for a configured amount of time. See
failures
for more information about active failure detection.
Passive detection involves detecting the WAN going down by monitoring its link status by some
n
means other than active detection. For example, if an Ethernet cable is disconnected or the
state of a cellular interface changes from on to off, the WAN is down.
Default Digi SureLink configuration
Beginning with firmware version 20.2.x, Surelink is enabled by default for IPv4 on all WAN and WWAN
interfaces, and is configured to perform two tests on these interfaces:
