Configuring Cellular Settings​

Go to System Settings > Cellular to view the current cellular settings. You can enable/disable cellular connectivity on your device, create profiles, manage Profile Settings, and enable/disable the connection Keep-alive function to optimize the cellular connection.

You can create customized cellular profiles by choosing the Manual option in the Profile Settings section. A list of all the profiles in the system is displayed. Create, Edit, or Delete cellular profiles here. You can also configure the Keep-alive function that will help maintain the connection between your device and the carrier service by pinging a specified host on the Internet at periodic intervals.

To create a new cellular connection profile, do the following:

  1. Click + CREATE.
  2. Specify a unique Profile Name.
  3. Specify the target SIM card.
  4. Enter the PIN Code, if your SIM card requires it. NOTE: Three wrong attempts will lock the SIM card.
  5. Choose a Carrier. (NOTE: This option is displayed only if the cellular module supports carrier switching.)
  6. Select Static or Dynamic APN and configure the corresponding settings. Refer to instructions from your cellular carrier to configure the settings.

  1. Click DONE.
  2. On the Cellular setting page, click SAVE. NOTE: When you click SAVE, the cellar module is restarted and the changes are applied. The settings will take effect after the cellular module is successfully initialized.

In some circumstances, a system reboot might bring an unstable or malfunctioning device back to normal state. To enable automatic system reboot in these cases, select the Reboot the unit when ping to the target host failed continuously for a certain amount of time option and specify a reboot interval.
