–Access Number: specifies the dial string provided by the network operator. Obtain this dial string from
your network operator.
*If your 3G/LTE data card supports WCDMA or LTE, the default dial string is *99***1#.
*If your 3G data card supports CDMA 2000, the default dial string is #777.
–Auth Method
*Auto: selects an authentication method automatically.
*PAP: specifies the Password Authentication Protocol, a simple plain‑text authentication method im‑
plemented through two‑way handshakes.
*CHAP: specifies the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, a security authentication method
that verifies message digests through three‑way handshakes.
*MS‑CHAP: specifies the CHAP standard defined by Microso.
*MS‑CHAPv2: specifies the upgraded version of MS‑CHAP, which requires two‑way authentication.
–Username: specifies the username used for connection to the public data network (PDN). It is provided by
your network operator.
–Password: specifies the password of the PDN user. It is provided by your network operator. Dual SIM En‑
able: enables or disables the dual‑SIM card mode.
–Main SIM: specifies the main SIM card used. Options are SIM1, SIM2, Random, and Sequential.
–Max Number Of Dial: specifies the maximum number of dial‑up attempts on SIM1. When the number of
dial‑up failures reaches this number, the router switches to SIM2.
–Min Connected Time: specifies the minimum network connection duration aer the router dials up suc‑
cessfully. Within this duration, the number of dial‑up attempts is counted. When the connection duration
exceeds the set value, the number of dial‑up attempts is reset. When the value is set to 0, this function is
disabled.
–Backup SIM Timeout: specifies the timeout period of the backup SIM card used currently. The router
switches to the main SIM card when the timeout period of the backup SIM card is reached.
Network Type: specifies a network type for the SIM card. Options are Auto, 3G, 4G, and 2G. You can select a specific
network type suitable for your router and SIM card or choose the auto mode, in which the router automatically
registers to the suitable network.
Profile: specifies the index of the dial‑up parameter set.
Roaming: enables the roaming function to allow the router to dial up in roaming state or disables the roaming
function to prevent the router from dialing up in roaming state. When a local SIM card is used, its dial‑up capability
is not aected whether this option is selected or deselected.
PIN code: specifies the personal identification number of the SIM card. If you enable PIN code but do not set a PIN
code or set a wrong PIN code, the router cannot dial up. A valid PIN code enables the router to dial up to a network.
Static IP: enables or disables the use of a static IP address. If you select this option, specify an IP address manually.
Then, the router obtains the specified static IP address every time it dials up to a network.
Connection Mode
•Always Online: indicates that the router stays online when it is running properly and will be disconnected and
redial up only if the dial‑up interface does not transmit any traic in 30 minutes. This is the default connection
mode of the system.
•On‑demand Dial
–Data Trigger: indicates that the router is oline by default and will dial up automatically when data is sent
to the Internet.

•Manual Dial: indicates that the network connection can be established or terminated by clicking Connect or
Disconnect in the Status area.
Redial Interval: specifies the period that the router waits before dialing up again.
ICMP Probes
•ICMP Detection Server: specifies the IP address or domain name of the remote ICMP server to be probed. (If
two ICMP servers are enabled, it is recommended that you enter the IP addresses or domain names of both
servers here.) The router supports two ICMP servers: a primary server and a backup server. Aer two servers
are configured, the router probes the primary server first. It probes the secondary server only when the number
of probe retries on the primary server reaches the maximum value. If both the servers fail to be detected, the
router dials up again and starts a new round of ICMP probe.
•ICMP Detection Interval: specifies the interval between ICMP probe packets sent from the router.
•ICMP Detection Timeout: specifies the timeout period of an ICMP probe. If the router does not receive any ICMP
Reply packet within this period, it considers that the ICMP probe times out.
•ICMP Detection Max Retries: specifies the maximum number of retries aer an ICMP probe failure. (The router
dials up again when the number of retries reaches this value.)
•ICMP Detection Strict: enables or disables the strict ICMP probe mode. In this mode, the router does not send
ICMP probe packets when its dial‑up interface is transmitting data traic. It sends ICMP probe packets only when
the dial‑up interface is idle.
Advanced Settings
•Initial Commands: specifies some AT commands used to check the module status.
•RSSI Poll Interval: specifies the interval at which the router checks the signal status aer dialing up successfully.
For example, the interval is set to 60s. If you remove the antennas aer the router dials up successfully, the
signal strength will remain unchanged in 60s and decrease 60s later. If the interval is set to 0, RSSI polling is
disabled.
•Dial Timeout: specifies the dial‑up timeout period. If the router fails to dial up to a network within the timeout
period, the dial‑up times out. In this case, the router checks the module status and dials up to the network
again.
•MRU: specifies the maximum receive unit, which is expressed in bytes.
•MTU: specifies the maximum transmit unit, which is expressed in bytes.
•Use Default Asyncmap: enables or disables the default Asyncmap.
•Use Peer DNS: enables or disables the use of the DNS server assigned in the connected network.
•LCP Interval: specifies the interval at which the router checks whether the cellular connection is normal.
•LCP Max Retries: specifies the maximum number of dial‑up retries aer the link connection is interrupted.
•Infinitely Dial Retry: enables the router to retry unlimited times upon a dial‑up failure.
•Debug: enables display of more detailed system logs.
•Expert Options: allows you to set command parameters.
