Init String#
Authentication
Authentication Type
Username
Password
Keep Alive
Used to periodically check if the cellular link is up; if not, the router tries to establish the link
ICMP/TCP Check
An active check that provides the most reliable and reactive diagnosis of the cellular link, but requires
sending data through the cellular link
Enabled
Keep Alive Type
Interval
Hostname
TCP Port
ICMP Count
Data Receive Monitor
A passive check that observes the absence of packets received over a given amount of time. This check
cannot reliably determine if the link is down, so there may be situations where due to no network traffic,
the monitor will signal to shutdown and re-establish the cellular link even though the link was in a good
state

Description
The pin used to unlock SIM for use (only required if SIM is locked). This does
not apply to CDMA radios.
The Access Point Name assigned by the wireless service provider (carrier
specific).
Optional fields to apply additional AT commands that execute just before
every PPP connection attempt. Use these fields to expand functionality and
to troubleshoot.
The type of authentication to use when establishing a PPP connection: PAP,
CHAP, or PAP-CHAP (either). Authentication may not be required by the
cellular service provider.
Name of the user that the remote PPP peer uses to authenticate.
Password that the remote PPP peer uses to authenticate.
Enable or disable active keep alive check.
Protocol type for active keep alive, either TCP or ICMP. ICMP periodically
pings the designated host at the specified interval. TCP tries to make a
connection to the designated host at the interval specified.
Time in seconds between active checking of the cellular link
Host name or IP address for keep alive check.
TCP port number to connect with the TCP server (only visible when Keep
Alive Type TCP is selected).
Number of sequential, unsucessful ping attempts to the specified host to
declare that the link needs to be re-established.
Enable or disable the passive monitoring of the cellular link
The amount of time that can pass without receiving network traffic before
the cellular link is torn down and re-established
