Wait n seconds between attachment attempts
The number of seconds between network attachment attempts, some networks require 60
seconds between attempts to attach to the wireless network.
Reset the module after n unsuccessful connection attempts The router will normally
make multiple attempts to connect to the wireless network in the event that the signal is
lost. In some cases, this can result in a “lock-up” situation where the wireless network is
unable to attach the wireless device due to the multiple attempts. This parameter specifies
the number of attempts at connection that the unit should make before power cycling the
internal wireless module. Power cycling the wireless module forces it to re-register and
reattach to the network. The default setting of 10 is the recommended value. Setting this
parameter to 0 will prevent the router from power cycling the wireless module if it cannot
obtain an IP address.
Reset the module after n unsuccessful status retrieval attempts
The router will periodically collect status information from the internal wireless module. This
information, which may be viewed on the Management - Network Status > Interfaces
> Mobile web page, includes details of the signal strength and network attachment status.
As a safeguard against problems communicating with the wireless module, the Status
retries parameter may be used to specify the number of unsuccessful attempts to retrieve
status information from the wireless module before power cycling it. The default setting of
30 is the recommended value. Setting this parameter to 0 will prevent the router from
power cycling the wireless module if it cannot read the wireless status information.
Create a signal strength event every n minutes
When configured, the signal strength will be written to the eventlog every n minutes.
If registration is lost for 5 minutes
This parameter controls whether the unit will power cycle the wireless module after the
network registration has been lost for 5 minutes. Setting this parameter to “Do not reset the
module” will never recycle the wireless module, setting to “reset the module if GSM
registration is lost” will power cycle the module after 5 minutes loss of GSM registration,
and setting to “reset the module if GSM registration is lost” will power cycle the module
after 5 minutes loss of GPRS, 3G or HSPA registration.
Preferred System:
This parameter controls which mobile technology will be used as the preferred system
(2G/3G). When set to “Auto” the wireless module will choose the fastest technology
available. For GSM: When set to “GSM”, the wireless module will try GSM (GPRS/EDGE)
technology first. When set to “WCDMA”, the wireless module will try WCDMA (UMTS/HSPA)
technology first. For CDMA: Select CDMA for 2G (1xRTT) or EVDO for 3G.
