Step 7: Verifying the Cellular Connection
You can use one of the following methods to verify the cellular connection:
1.
Check the LED display.
Check the SIM 1, SIM2, 2G, 3G, and 4G LEDs on the front panel.
If a SIM LED is blinking, this indicates that a SIM card is not installed in the SIM slot or the SIM card PIN
information is not configured in the web console.
If the installed SIM card supports 3G or 4G service but only the 2G LED is turned on, this indicates that
the OnCell G3470A-LTE is connected to the cellular network but is not registered for 3G or 4G service.
Make sure that you enter the correct APN information in the web console.
2.
Check the Overview screen in the web console.
Log into the web console and display the Overview screen. Check the status for the Cellular RSSI,
Cellular WAN IP address, and Cellular Mode fields to diagnose any connection problem.
For Cellular RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), make sure that the value is above 12 RSSI in
order to maintain a stable connection.
If the Cellular WAN IP address is not available but the RSSI is more than 12, make sure that the APN
configuration is correct. The service provider assigns a private address for the WAN IP address, which is
not accessible externally.
3.
Test cellular network access on your computer.
For users with public SIM cards, instead of SIM cards with MDVPN service enabled, you can test the
connection to the Internet on your computer (assuming that your computer is connected to an Ethernet
port on the OnCell G3470A-LTE). The following shows an example configuration.
•
Laptop IP Address: 192.168.127.10 (on the same subnet as the OnCell gateway)
•
Laptop Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (on the same subnet as the OnCell gateway)
•
Laptop Default Gateway: 192.168.17.254 (the OnCell gateway IP address)
•
Laptop Primary DNS Server: 8.8.8.8 (test with Google's public DNS server)
•
Laptop Primary DNS Server: 8.8.4.4 (test with Google's public DNS server)
After the configuration is complete, your computer will be able to the access the Internet.
For information on testing the connection with a DHCP server, refer to Chapter 3.
