Description
Allows the router to establish a cellular PPP connection (Cellular WAN).
Enables or disables the Dial-on-Demand feature. If enabled, the router brings
up and maintains a cellular connection while network activity on the LAN
requires WAN access. The router brings down the cellular connection when
outgoing network traffic ceases for the given Idle Timeout duration. Enable
this feature when Wakeup-on-Call is enabled to allow the device to "sleep"
after it has been "woken up". See Configuring Wakeup-on-Call for more
information
When Dial-On-Demand is enabled and no network traffic occurs for the given
amount of time, the cellular link disconnects. (Only applies to Dial-On-
Demand.)
Allows the use of two antennas to increase receive signal quality Not all
models support diversity. If diversity is enabled, connect a second cellular
antenna to the AUX port on the device. Otherwise, the cellular performance
of the device may degrade.
The time (in seconds) that the device waits before it deems that the
connection attempt has failed. The value used is the amount of time that
elapses between each dialing retry.
Number of dialing retries allowed; default is zero, which means an infinite
number is allowed.
The modem dial string that initiates a PPP connection, usually *99***1# for
GSM and #777 for CDMA.
The modem response to initiate a PPP connection, usually CONNECT.
The modem AT command that initiates a PPP connection, usually ATDT or
ATD.
