up.
When SIM-A only or SIM-B only is selected, it will try to dial up only using
the SIM card you selected.

using the main SIM you selected, it will failback to the main SIM and try
to establish the connection periodically.

is available.

Auto Flight Mode
The box is unchecked
by default
Check the Enable box to activate the function.
By default, if you disabled the Auto Flight Mode, the cellular module will
always occupy a physical channel with cellular tower. It can get data
connection instantly, and receive managing SMS all the time on required.
If you enabled the Auto Flight Mode, the gateway will pop up a message
“Flight mode will cause cellular function to be malfunctioned, when the
data session is offline.”, and it will make the cellular module into flight
mode and disconnected with cellular tower physically. In, addition,
whenever the cellular module is going to be used for data connection to
backup the failed primary connection, the cellular module will be active
to connect with cellular tower and get the data connection for use, It
takes few more seconds.
Note: Keep it unchecked unless your cellular ISP asked the connected
gateway to enable the Auto Flight Mode.
