| |

| |
| − | '''Switch back to primary SIM card after timeout''' is a SIM switching rule that can only be configured on the secondary SIM card. It's purpose is to switch the router back to using the primary SIM after a SIM switch rule is triggered for the primary SIM card.

| − | '''Example:''' Let's say you've configured a rule that dictates the router to switch to Secondary SIM if signal strength falls below -90 dBm and a rule that will switch back to Primary SIM with both the initial and subsequent timeouts of 1 minute (i.e., Initial timeout = Subsequent timeout = 1). If signal strength does indeed fall below this threshold, the router will switch to Secondary SIM card, wait 1 minute (Initial timeout), switch back to Primary SIM card, check the signal strength value and, if signal strength value is still below -90 dBm, switch back again to Secondary SIM card. This time the router will try to switch back to Primary SIM card after 2 minutes, i.e., new_timeout = old_timeout + subsequent_timeout = 1 minute + 1 minute = 2 minutes. The third time the router will 3 minutes, the fourth time - 4 minutes, and so on until the signal strength of the Primary SIM card rises above -90 dBm.</td>

| |
| − | The Network Operators window provides you with the ability to scan, select and enter manual Network Operator codes. This function is a great utility when the router is used in roaming conditions. Operator selection is only available for the primary SIM card. In order to specify an operator for the other SIM card it must first be selected as the primary SIM in the [[#SIM_Management|Sim Management]] section.

| − | ===Scan For Network Operators===
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | '''Scan For Network Operators''' is a function that initiates a scan for available network operators in your area. To initiate a scan, press the "Scan for operators button". After you do so you will be prompted with a pop-up asking you if you're really sure, since while the scan is in progress you will lose your data connection for approximately 2 minutes. To proceed click '''Ok'''.

| |

| |
| − | After the scan is complete you will be provided with a list of operators similar to the one in the example above (except with the available operators from your area). The list provides such information as operator's name, code and network access type. You can also choose to which operator you would like to connect provided that the operator's status is not '''Forbidden'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Below the list is the scan button if you should choose to repeat the scan and the '''Connection mode''' box containing options on how you want the router to connect to network operators. The box contains three choices: '''Auto''' (default), '''Manual-Auto''' and '''Manual'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When set to Auto the router automatically connects to the network operator with the best connectivity.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Manual choice prompts you to enter an operator's code that the router will then always try to connect to (even if previous attempts have been unsuccessful).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Manual-auto also prompts you to enter an operator's code but if the router can't complete the connection, it will automatically connect to the next available operator.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Most network operators' codes can be found online or you can initiate a scan for operators - if the operator you're looking for can be reached from your current area, the list of available network operators will contain the desired operator's code.
