Configure Cellular Modules
Configure cellular feature on the ION device by setting
SIM specific configurations.
The cellular ION devices have integrated 4G or 5G cellular
modem for primary or backup WAN connectivity. If there is no 4G
or 5G coverage, these modems can fall back to 3G network. In a typical
deployment, the cellular WAN is configured as a backup to the wired
WAN interface. It can also be configured in an active/active model
with wired WAN interface and also as the only WAN link.
These cellular ION devices are optionally installed with dual
SIMs to provide backup connectivity when the primary SIM carrier
connection is down. These devices detect SIMs from carriers such
as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and auto configure the required
modem profile and firmware and bring up cellular WAN connectivity.
Configure the cellular feature on the ION device by setting SIM
specific configuration like primary SIM slot, SIM PIN configuration
and cellular IP interface specific configuration. Separate primary
and backup interface configurations are supported to allow configuring
different APNs and circuit labels for different SIMs.
Set the following manual configurations on the cellular ION device:
