Password
: If the satellite network provider requires a password in order to connect to
their network, enter it here. (If you use the APN Wizard, this will be completed
automatically.
Phone number
: The Aurora Optimizer is pre-configured with the standard number to
dial for the Iridium satellite network. Unless your satellite airtime provider requires an
alternate phone number, this field can be left blank in order to use the default dialup
number.
Idle Timeout
: The default is set to 60 seconds. If no network traffic is detected during
this Idle Timeout period, the connection will drop. To disable the Idle Timeout feature,
set to 0.
Note: If Persist is enabled with Demand disabled, the Idle Timeout is ignored
.
Persist
: Check this box to enable persistent connections. If the connection drops the
modem will attempt to reconnect. With Persist selected, two additional settings appear:
Hold Off Timeout
: The default is 30 seconds. If the link is dropped, this is the time it will
wait to try connection again.
Maximum Fail
: The default is never. This is the number of times it will try to reconnect.
If re-connection does not happen within this number, it will stop trying.
Demand
: Check this box to bring up the link only on demand, such as when data traffic
is present. The satphone or GSM modem that does PPP, the link remains down until it
detects network traffic. It will bring up the link automatically and stay up when there is
traffic or until the Idle Timeout setting is reached. With Demand selected, Persist is
implied. See Persist above.
Extra Init
: If required, enter the full AT command to send to the modem before dialing.
MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit)
: This should be blank to use the system default; or, you
can set the limit here, in bytes. Only change this setting if required to do so by your
satellite provider.
Debug
: If you are having trouble with the PPP connection this debug log may help you
diagnose the problem.
