Network Scan
"Network Scan" function can let administrator specify the device how to connect to the mobile system
for data communication in each 3G/4G interface. For example, administrator can specify which generation
of mobile system is used for connection, 2G, 3G or LTE. Moreover, he can define their connection sequence
for the router device to connect to the mobile system automatically. Administrator also can scan the mobile
systems in the air manually, select the target operator system and apply it. The manual scanning approach
is used for problem diagnosis.
