CIRA X2 User Manual
On WiMAX capable devices, set the Connect Mode to either WiMAX Only or Auto. When set to Auto then WiMAX
will be preferred but the connection will fall back to 3G if WiMAX is not present or available. Please ensure that the
Primary WAN selection is congured appropriately if Connect Mode is set to Auto to ensure use of the correct
primary WAN interface.
The CIRA X2 will attempt to detect a WiMAX signal with acceptable quality as congured by the WiMAX Signal
Threshold setting. The number of scan attempts is dened by the Maximum Connection Retry setting. If no
WiMAX network with acceptable signal strength is detected within the number of attempts dened in the Maximum
Connection Retry eld, then the Action after Retry Failure setting controls the behavior of the system.
For WiMAX devices it is recommended to set the Action after Retry Failure WAIT and set a wait time of at least
60 seconds. In this mode, a new series of scans will be started every 60 seconds, other options include NONE and
REBOOT. If NONE is selected, the system will make no further attempts to scan for a Wi-Max connection until the
system is power cycled. If the action is set to REBOOT, the system will perform a reboot if the scans do not detect a
WiMAX connection. This option can be useful if the system is designed in a WiMAX only connection scenario where
persistent connectivity is essential.
For LTE capable devices set LTE for Connect Mode.
You can select your preferred WAN interface by checking the Show Advanced Options checkbox. You may then
select either the Embedded WAN or Mobile WAN by toggling the Primary WAN Selection setting.
If you are using both Embedded and Mobile WAN connections, setup the failover ping check function by checking
the Enable Fallback box. Set a Check Period in seconds to run the failover ping test.
NOTE: It is recommended not to set this value less than 45 seconds to avoid potential issues with cellular radios
being unable to enter a dormancy state. Should this value be set too short, you may nd that connections in rural
areas will be unable to transition to 3G from 2G or roaming states.
Setup the IP addresses to ping check by checking the Check Embedded WAN Connectivity and Check Mobile WAN
Connectivity check boxes. It is recommended to select the Ping User Specied Address for both WAN connections
and input an IP address which is known to be pingable.
