By default, the DX-series' plug-in modem is setup for automatic SIM selection. Meaning, if the
device is unable to connect with the SIM in slot 1, after a specified number of failures (5 by
default) the DX will automatically switch to use the SIM in slot 2. For this setup, you will need
two SIM cards enabled, provisioned, and installed in the plug-in modem's SIM slots. The two
cards can be from the same carrier or from different carriers.
Load Balancing Load Balancing
Traffic can be balanced between the Ethernet and Cellular WAN interfaces. This feature, often
referred to as "load balancing," uses an interface's Weight Weight value -- this is defined under the IPv4 IPv4
expandable menu. The interfaces being balanced must share the same Metric Metric value.
It is important to note that the two SIM slots cannot be leveraged simultaneously for load
balancing; the load must be shared between the cellular modem and the wireline Internet
connection. The Weight of an interface establishes its proportional contribution relative to the
weight of its complimentary interface.
