d. Set the probe type to ping:
(config network interface eth1 ipv4 surelink tests 1)> test ping
(config network interface eth1 ipv4 surelink tests 1)>
e. Set the packet size to 256 bytes:
(config network interface eth1 ipv4 surelink tests 1)> ping_size 256
(config network interface eth1 ipv4 surelink tests 1)>
f. Set the host to ping:
(config network interface eth1 ipv4 surelink tests 1)> ping_host 43.66.93.111
(config network interface eth1 ipv4 surelink tests 1)>
1. Repeat the above step for the cellular Modem (modem) interface to enable SureLink on that
interface. Note that this will cause the interface to send a ping every 10 seconds, which will
incur data costs.
4. Save the configuration and apply the change

5. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
Using Ethernet devices in a WAN
The IX40 device has two Ethernet devices, named ETH1 and ETH2. You can use these Ethernet
interfaces as a WAN when connecting to the Internet, through a device such as a cable modem:
By default, the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet device is configured as a WAN, named ETH1, with both DHCP and
NAT enabled and using the External firewall zone. This means you should be able to connect to the
Internet by connecting the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet port to another device that already has an internet
connection.
The ETH2 device is configured as a LAN interface, named ETH2, which uses the Internal firewall zone.
Using cellular modems in a Wireless WAN (WWAN)
The IX40 supports one cellular modem, named Modem, which is included in a preconfigured Wireless
WAN, also named Modem.
The cellular modem can have only one active SIM slot at any one time. For example, Modem can have
either SIM1 or SIM2 up at one time.
Typically, you configure SIM1 of the cellular modem as the primary cellular interface, and SIM2 as the
backup cellular interface. In this way, if the IX40 device cannot connect to the network using SIM1, it
automatically fails over to SIM2. IX40 devices automatically use the correct cellular module firmware
for each carrier when switching SIMs.
Configure cellular modem
Configuring the IX40's cellular modem involves configuring the following items:
