The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version .


Summary

The Mobile page is used to configure mobile connection settings.

This manual page provides an overview of the Mobile page in {{{name}}} devices.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

General

The General section is used to configure SIM card parameters that define how the device will establish a mobile connection.

SIM card settings


The SIM Card Settings section is used to configure main SIM card parameters. Refer to the figure and table below for information on the fields contained in that section.


[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_general_sim_card_settings_dualsim_{{{dualsim}}}_v4.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Field Value Description
Deny data roaming off | on; default: off Denies data connection on roaming conditions.
PIN integer [0000..99999999]; default: none SIM card's PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a secret numeric password used to authenticate the device to the SIM card. PIN codes are comprised of numbers only and the length can range from 4 to 8 symbols. PIN number is saved in flash memory therefore it does not reset when default settings are restored.

Interface mob1s1a1 APN configuration

Field Value Description
Auto APN on | off; default: on Auto APN scans an internal APN database and selects an APN based on the SIM card's operator and country. If the first automatically selected APN doesn't work, it attempts to use the next existing APN from the database ( APN database )
APN string; default: none An Access Point Name (APN) is a gateway between a GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G mobile network and another computer network. Depending on the contract, some operators may require you to use an APN just to complete the registration on a network. In other cases, APN is used to get special parameters from the operator (e.g., a public IP address) depending on the contract.
An APN Network Identifier cannot start with any of the following strings:
  • rac;
  • lac;
  • sgsn;
  • rnc;
it cannot end in:
  • .gprs;
and it cannot contain the asterisk symbol (*).
Authentication type None | PAP | CHAP; default: None Authentication method that your carrier uses to authenticate new connections on it's network
Username string; default: empty Username provided by your carrier
Password string; default: empty Password provided by your carrier

Connection

Connection


Field Value Description
VoLTE Auto | On | Off; default: Auto Enables Voice over LTE, a digital packet technology that uses 4G LTE networks to route voice traffic and transmit data.
Preferred network type
Band selection Auto | Manual; default: Auto Network frequency band selection method. When set to Auto, the device connects to the band with the best connectivity conditions, while Manual provides the possibility to manually select the bands which the device will obliged to use. Selecting bands manually shows their duplex modes for 4G and 5G capable devices only.

Low signal reconnect


The Low signal reconnect section is used to configure modem operator connection resetting based on signal strength .

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Enables Low signal reconnect.
Reset threshold integer [-120..-50]; default: none Signal threshold in dB for the connection. When signal is under this value modem resets connection.
Reset timeout integer [15..65535]; default: 600 Time for the device to wait in seconds before trying to reset the connection again.

Limits

Data limit


The Data Limit section provides you with the possibility to set up a maximum used data cap for your SIM card.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_limits_data_limit_{{{dualsim}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

To configure Data Limit press Edit

Field Value Description
Enable data connection limit off | on; default: off Disables mobile data when the limit for the current period is reached
Data limit (MB) integer; default: none Disable mobile data after the limit value in MB is reached
Reset period Day | Week | Month; default: Day Interval for resetting mobile data usage limit.
Reset time 0-23 / Monday - Sunday / 0-31; default: 0 Specify the hour (in 24-hour format) when the mobile data limit reset occurs.
Enable SMS warning on | off; default: off Enables sending of warning SMS message when mobile data limit is reached.
Warning threshold integer; default: none Send warning SMS message after threshold in MB is reached. Warning threshold cannot be higher than data limit!
Phone number integer; default: none A phone number to send warning SMS message to
Clear collected data - (interactive button) The data collected for this interface will be cleared, but only if the interface is active

SMS limit


The SMS Limit section provides you with the possibility to set up a maximum sent SMS message cap for your SIM card.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_mobile_limit_sms_limit_{{{dualsim}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]


To configure SMS Limit press Edit

Field Value Description
Enable SMS Limit off | on; default: off Turns SMS limiting on or off.
SMS limit count integer; default: none Sets the SMS sending cap, i.e., how many SMS messages can be sent from this SIM card during the specified period.
Period Day | Week | Month; default: Day Period for which SMS limiting should apply. After the period expires, the SMS limit counter will be reset.
Reset time 0-23 / Monday - Sunday / 0-31; default: 0 Starting hour of the day / day of the week / day of the month for SMS limiting period.
Clear SMS Limit - (interactive button) Clears the SMS limit counter for the selected period.
