Mobile Network Connection Mode

Auto Connect  If you want the Router to automatically connect to the default mobile network when it powers on, keep the default, Auto. To manually connect to a mobile network, select Manual. You can use the Mobile Connect/Disconnect button on the Router to connect and disconnect from the mobile network.

Modem Backup  When the cable/DSL modem is the primary connection, the Router can use the mobile network connection as a backup if the primary connection fails. To use this feature, select Enable. Otherwise, keep the default, Disable.

Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time  You can configure the Router to cut the mobile network connection after it has been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your mobile network connection has been

terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, select Connect on Demand. In the Max Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your mobile network connection terminates. The default Max Idle Time is 60 minutes.

Keep Alive: Redial Period  If you select this option, the Router will periodically check your mobile network connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re-establish your connection. To use this option, select Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field, specify how often you want the Router to check the mobile network connection. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

Modem Backup validation site  To use the default Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, keep the default, NTP. To use a different time server, select Custom, and enter its IP address.
