– Activation Method:
• Manually: The user manually connects and disconnects the connection on the Web UI.
•
Always-On: The connection is automatically established after attaching to the network,
and it will automatically re
‑
establish when dropped unexpectedly.
•
Automatic Context Activation (ACA): The connection is automatically established when
eligible devices are detected. This refers to a connected device that matches the local IP
address criteria to activate the automatic context.
The user must select the local IP address for the connection and select the APN profile and activation
method using options available from the dropdown menus. Clicking the Save button confirms the
changes.
Note: The dedicated connection profile must be enabled to take effect. When a dedicated connection is
configured for manual activation, the connection profile settings will be used as hard-coded
defaults on the
Manage Connections
screen. This allows a user with the administration password
to lock the settings that can be used when activating dedicated connections.
