Configuring and Testing W-WAN Models
Refer to the Configuration - Network > Interfaces > Mobile section of this guide to
configure your router for the correct APN and PIN code (if any). You can now power up your
unit and test connection to the wireless network. If you have correctly configured
everything, the W-WAN SIM indicator on the front panel should illuminate green to show
that a W-WAN enabled SIM card is present. The unit will now attempt to log on to the
specified mobile network and if it is able to do so, the W-WAN NET indicator will illuminate
steady. Data passing to and from the network will be reflected by the status of the DAT
indicator, which will flash green. If you are unable to connect to the network, go to the
Management - Network Status > Interfaces > Mobile web page and press the Refresh
button. The page should appear similar to the following:
Note:
The signal strength is shown in “negative dB”, which means that the stronger the signal, the
lower the number. As a guide -51dB would be a very strong signal, only normally obtained
very close to a cell site. -115dB represents no signal. If your unit reports -115dB try
reorienting the antenna or consider adding an external antenna.
