Verifying IP Connectivity

First, let’s check to make sure that you card is connecting to the cellular network and obtaining an IP address. Navigate to the GAU screen shown below:

If your screen looks similar to the one shown above, you are having signal reception difficulties. As you will notice, the card is neither connected to the cellular network, nor has it been able to obtain an IP address from the network.

You can further verify this condition by examining the LED signal meter on the left side of the front panel of the device as shown in the picture below:

If the top and bottom LEDs are flashing the device is not receiving sufficient signal from the cellular towers in order to be able to connect to the network. Typically, 2-3 LEDs of reception are a minimum requirement for a sustainable connection.
