•
Auto Remote IP
: Enables DHCP for this interface. The IP address will be
assigned by a DHCP server connected to the access point network. For most
purposes, the IP addresses should be obtained automatically from the
network.
•
Remote IP Address
: Used to specify the static IP address if Auto Remote IP
is disabled.
•
User ID and Password
: These fields are used for PAP/CHAP authentication
onto the Mobile Network Operator network. For network specific settings
contact your Mobile Network Operator or refer to Mobile Network Operator-
specific configuration guides at
.
•
Modem Initialization string
: used for setting the APN (Access Point Name)
and is typically only relevant for legacy GSM cards. This determines the
nature of the network connection (i.e. private/public IP address, mobile origi-
nated and/or mobile terminated connections, authorized internet access, etc).
The general format is:
·
AT+CGDCONT=<pdp context #>,”<protocol>”,”<APN>”,””,0,0
For Mobile Network Operator-specific settings contact your Mobile Network
Operator or refer to Mobile Network Operator-specific configuration guides at
.
Tip:
When using a custom APN, be sure to change the modem initialization string.
•
Dial String
: the dial string to use, if applicable, for the Mobile Network
Operator.
•
APN
: specifies the Mobile Network Operator access point network for the
E362, E371, AC340, AC341U, MC7700, and MC7354 modules (e.g.
we01.vzwstatic for the Verizon Static IP network). Typically this field can be
left blank for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint unless a private network is used. For
T-Mobile or other Mobile Network Operators, please consult with service
provide for APN.
•
Use Management Tunnel
: allows remote access to the oMG when private
addresses are in use. This option should only be enabled on the advice of
Sierra Wireless Technical Support.
•
Pilot Ping
: enables or disables Pilot Ping. Disabled by default.
•
Monitors
: the monitor is defined under WAN > Monitor. A monitor defines the
method of monitoring the status of the connection. The factory-defined
monitor is DefaultMonitor. This example should be replaced with your own
monitor definition.
•
Monitor Mode
: defines the action that will occur on the link if the monitor fails
or succeeds:
·
Success in one monitor keeps the link up
(default): if at least one
monitor is reporting as active, then the link should be considered up.
·
Failure in one monitor declares the link down
: if any one monitor is
reporting as deactive, then the link should be considered down.
•
Call Down Recovery
: when enabled, the oMG will monitor installed PPP
cellular modem devices that are down (i.e. not connected) and will reboot the
oMG after the time specified in Recovery Time. This ensures that a recovery
will be made when one link is down but another link remains active. For more
