Connect on demand
The Connect on demand feature keeps the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context deactivated by default while making it appear to
locally connected devices that the router has a permanent connection to the mobile broadband network. When a packet of interest
arrives or an SMS wake-up command is received, the router attempts to establish a mobile broadband data connection. When the
data connection is established, the router monitors traffic and terminates the link when it is idle.
Note: When interesting packets arrive, the recovery time for the wireless WAN connection is approximately 20-30 seconds.
