• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service
engineers and also provide access to some of the LAN-Cell’s more advanced features.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this
User’s Guide.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the LAN-Cell
Do the following things regularly to make the LAN-Cell more secure and to manage the LAN-
Cell more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the LAN-Cell to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to
totally re-configure the LAN-Cell. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Applications for the LAN-Cell
Here are some examples of what you can do with your LAN-Cell.
1.4.1 3G WAN Applications
Insert a 3G PC-Card modem to have the LAN-Cell wirelessly access the Internet via a 3G
celluar network. Use this connection to provide Internet access to LAN devices such as PCs
and ATMs, or to provide access to remote equipment such as weather stations and security
systems. See Section 5.4 on page 114 for more information about 3G Cellular WAN support.
