The APN (Access Point Name) is a gateway between a cellular network and another network, typically the internet. It APN Name specifies the network path for all data communications, and this field is where you input the APN provided by your mobile network carrier.
Packet Data Protocol (PDP) type specifies the type of IP address (IPv4, IPv6, or both) that will be assigned to the device for data communication. The options include: IPV4: Only an IPv4 address will be PDP Type assigned. IPV6: Only an IPv6 address will be assigned.
VIII-1 Manage Clients This image shows a "Manage Clients" section of a network device's user interface. Online Clients: This indicates the number of devices currently connected to the network. In this case, there is 1 online client. Connected Client (Wired): Wired Icon: The icon shows that the connected client is using a wired connection (e.g., Ethernet).
IX. Advanced This section deals with the advanced features of the device. These features are divided into several sections, each with specific configuration options. IX-1 Network This section displays the Network settings options.
IX-1.1 DHCP Click on the icon to configure DHCP settings, which assign IP addresses to devices on your network. Click the Save & Apply button to save the current configuration settings and apply them to the network. DHCP (Toggle Switch): On: DHCP is enabled, meaning the device will automatically assign IP addresses to devices on the network.
Page 33
Number of Clients: Specifies the maximum number of devices that can be assigned IP addresses by the DHCP server. In this example, it is set to 250. IP Range: Shows the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server will assign to devices on the network.
IX-1.2 Net Monitor Click on the icon to check on the health of network connections (wired or cellular). Wired Clicking the Save & Apply will save the current settings and apply them to the device. DNS (Toggle Switch): This enables or disables DNS (Domain Name System) monitoring. If enabled, the device will check DNS availability.
Page 35
Ping Timeout: Set to 5 (in seconds). This is the amount of time the device will wait for a response after sending a ping request before considering it a timeout. Ping Times: Set to 3. This is the number of times the device will ping the target address. DNS Server: Set to 8.8.4.4, which is another Google DNS server.
Page 36
Cellular Check DNS (Toggle Switch): The DNS monitoring is turned on, meaning the device will check DNS server availability as part of its network monitoring. Ping (Toggle Switch): The Ping monitoring is also enabled. The device will send ping requests to monitor network connectivity.
Page 37
Check Address: Set to 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS server). The device will ping this IP address to check if it can reach the internet or a specific network service. Ping Timeout: Set to 12 (in seconds). This is the amount of time the device will wait for a response after sending a ping request before considering it a timeout.
IX-1.3 Diagnostics Click on the icon to troubleshooting network issues by testing connectivity. Select the required tool from the drop-down menu. Upon inputting the IP address, click the Perform button to run the diagnostic. Ping: Tests the reachability of a host (e.g., a website or another device) on an IP network.
