Available network frequency bands may differ based on the router's product code (different codes may indicate that the devices are using different modem variants). [[{{{name}}} Supported Frequency Bands|Click here]] for more information on frequency bands supported by {{{name}}}.

−

~~Available network frequency bands may differ based on router modem module. More information about router module supported network frequency bands: https://www.quectel.com/product/ec25.htm~~

+

You can find your router's modem variant in Status → [[{{{name}}}_Device|Device Information]] page and checking FW Version field. Usually, the first 5-7 characters indicate the modem variant, while modem's FW version number begins with "GAR". For example:

−

~~Information about~~ router's modem ~~module can be found by going to~~ Status → [[{{{name}}}_Device|Device Information]] page and checking FW Version field.

−

Usually first 5-7 characters ~~show~~ modem ~~module series code~~. For example:

==SIM Management==

Line 251: Line 248:

The Primary card section is used to select which SIM slot will host the router's primary SIM card. The primary SIM card is the one which is active by default, while the secondary card stays inactive until switched to or set as primary.

−

[[File:~~{{{file_sim_management_card}}}~~]]

+

[[File:Networking_rut_manual_mobile_sim_management_primary_card.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Note: both SIM cards cannot be active at the same time.

Line 259: Line 256:

The SIM switching section is used to enable automatic SIM switching and to set the SIM switching check interval. Refer to the figure and table below for more information.

==Network Operators==

−

The Network ~~Operators~~ ~~tab~~ provides you with the possibility to scan for and ~~manually~~ manage mobile network operators to which the ~~router~~'s SIM card can connect to. 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 mobile network operators available in your area. To initiate a scan, press the 'Scan for operators' button~~. After you do, you will be prompted with a pop-up asking if you wish to proceed. This is because while the scan is in progress you will lose your data connection for approximately 2 minutes~~.

+

[[File:Networking_rut_manual_mobile_network_operators_scan_for_operators_confirmation.png]]

After the scan is complete you will be presented with a list of operators available in 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.

===Operators List===

----

−

The Operators List section is used ~~for creating~~ a blacklist or whitelist for undesired or desired operators. Please note that when using either Whitelist mode or Blacklist mode, you will initially lose your mobile connection for several minutes. Also if you have your SIM card set to switch "On network denied", your SIM card may switch when using Blacklist mode

Important: be mindful when using the Operators List function as it very easy to block yourself from the right operators and lose your data connection.

Line 423: Line 448:

The Data Connection Limit Configuration section is used to configure custom mobile data limits for your SIM card(s). When the mobile data limit set for the SIM card(s) is reached, the router will no longer use the mobile connection to establish a data connection until the limit period is over or the limit is reset by the user.

−

==SIM Idle Protection==

Some operators block user SIM cards after a period of inactivity. The SIM Idle Protection tab provides you with the possibility to configure the router to periodically switch to the secondary SIM card and establish a data connection with a mobile network operator in order to break the idleness and prevent the SIM card from being blocked.

Line 555: Line 584:

The Settings tab is used to configure the parameters used by the SIM Idle Protection function. Refer to the figure and table below for more information.

<td>How often SIM Idle Protection will be performed. Use the three following fields ('Day', 'Hour' and 'Minute') to set the exact time of the action.</td>

</tr>

Line 594: Line 623:

Once you have configured the SIM Idle Protection settings, you can use the Test section to test these settings to make sure everything works correctly. Once you click the 'Test' button, the SIM Idle Protection test will initiate. The test is designed to simulate SIM Idle Protection according to your current SIM Idle Protection settings.

−

[[File:~~{{{file_sim_idle_test}}}~~]]

+

[[File:Networking_rut_manual_sim_idle_protection_test.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

----

The test takes about 2 minutes, so make sure the router isn't doing anything important before you start the test because during it you will lose connectivity. It is very important to wait for the test to finish before commiting any actions. Commiting actions on the router during test phase you may cause the router to crash.

{{#ifeq: {{{usb}}} | 1 | <h2>USB Modem</h2>

+

The USB Modem section is used to configure the connection settings of a USB modem attached to the router's USB connector. This section only becomes visible when a USB modem is connected to the router.
