RUT240 Mobile

Summary

The Mobile section is used to configure SIM card parameters, mobile data limits and network operators. This chapter is an overview of RUT240 routers' Mobile section.

General

The General tab is used to configure SIM card parameters such as Service mode, Connection type, APN and more.

Mobile Configuration

---

The Mobile configuration section is used to configure main SIM card parameters.

field name	value	description
Connection type	QMI | NCM | NDIS | PPP; Default: QMI	Defines how the router's modem will establish a connection to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) PPP uses a dialling number to establish a data connection QMI does not use dialling or the PPP protocol to establish data connection and it is usually faster than PPP mode NOTE: PPP connection type exists on all RUT devices, but QMI does not. If you have a RUT device with a Telit modem, QMI will be replaced by NCM. If your RUT device contains a Huawei modem, you will see NDIS instead of QMI. QMI connection type is available on RUT devices that use a Quectel modem (which is the standard modem for most RUT devices)
Mode	NAT | Passthrough* | Bridge; Default: NAT	NAT mode enables network address translation on the router Bridge mode bridges the LTE data connection with LAN. In this mode the router does not have an internet connection as the ISP provides an IP address directly to the end device (e.g., computer). Using Bridge mode will disable most of the router’s capabilities and you will only be able to access your router's settings with a static IP address. Passthrough mode works in a similar fashion to Bridge mode, except in passthrough mode the router will have an internet connection and be reachable
APN	string; Default: " "	An Access Point Name (APN) is a gateway between a GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G mobile network and another computer network NOTE: an APN Network Identifier cannot start with any of the strings "rac", "lac", "sgsn" or "rnc", it cannot end in ".gprs" and it cannot take the value "*"
PIN number	string; Default: " "	A personal identification number is a numeric password used to authenticate a user to a system
Dialing number	string; Default: " "	A Dialling number is used to establish a mobile PPP connection
MTU	integer [0..1500]; Default: 1500	MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) specifies the largest possible size of a data packet
Authentication method	CHAP | PAP | None; Default: None	The Authentication method that your GSM carrier uses to authenticate new connections on its network
Username	string; Default: " "	The username used to connect to your carrier’s network. This field becomes available when you select an authentication method (i.e., the selected authentication method is not “None”)
Password	string; Default: " "	The password used to connect to your carrier’s network
Service mode	2G only | 3G only | 4G (LTE) only | 2G + 3G | 2G + 4G | 3G + 4G |Automatic; Default: Automatic	Your service mode preference. If your local mobile network supports 2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) you can specify to which type of network you wish to connect to, e.g., if you choose 4G (LTE) only, the router will connect only to 4G (LTE) network. If you select Automatic, then the router will connect to the network that provides the best connectivity
Deny data roaming	yes | no; Default: no	When enabled this function prevents the device from establishing mobile data connection while not in your home network
Use IPv4 only	yes | no; Default: yes	When enabled this function makes the device use only IPv4 settings when connecting to an operator
Mobile Data On Demand
Enable	yes | no; Default: no	Toggles Mobile Data On Demand ON or OFF. The Mobile Data On Demand function keeps the mobile data connection ON only when it is in use. NOTE: This function is only available whith PPP Connection type
No data timeout (sec)	integer [10..3600]; Default: 10	Mobile data connection will be terminated if no data is transferred during the timeout period specified in this field
Force LTE network
Enable	yes | no; Default: no	Toggles Force LTE network ON or OFF
Reregister	yes | no; Default: no	When enabled the modem will reregister before trying to connect to an LTE network
Timeout (sec)	integer [180..3600]; Default: '300	Time in seconds between attempts to connect to an LTE network

Mobile Data Limit

The Mobile Data Limit window provides you with the possibility to set a custom data limit for your SIM card and a data limit warning via SMS message in order to protect yourself from unwanted data charges.

field name	value	description
Mobile Data On Demand
Enable data connection limit	yes | no; Default: no	Toggles data limit ON or OFF
Data limit* (MB)	integer; Default: " "	The received data limit. After reaching the specified data limit, the router will kill your current mobile data connection
Period	Month | Week | Day; Default: Month	Period for which the data limit applies to
Start day | Start hour	day [1..31] | day [Monday..Sunday] | hour [1..24]; Default: day 1	Data limit counting start time. For example, if the selected Period is Month and Start day is 5, every month on the fifth day the data limit counter will reset and start counting the data limit over again
SMS Warning Configuration
Enable SMS warning	yes | no; Default: no	Toggles SMS Warning ON or OFF. SMS Warning Configuration provides you with the ability to configure a rule that sends you an SMS message after the router reaches a specified amount of data.
Data limit* (MB)	integer; Default: " "	The received data limit. After reaching the specified data limit, the router will send out an SMS warning message to the specified phone number
Period	Month | Week | Day; Default: Month	Period for which the data limit applies to
Start day | Start hour	day [1..31] | day [Monday..Sunday] | hour [1..24]; Default: day 1	Data limit counting start time. For example, if the selected Period is Month and Start day is 5, every month on the fifth day the data limit counter will reset and start counting the data limit over again
Phone number	phone number; Default: " "	Recipient's phone number

*Your carrier's data usage accounting may differ. Teltonika is not liable should any accounting discrepancies occur

Clear Data Limit

---

The Clear Data Limit section contains only one button - the Clear data limit button, which resets the counter for the configured data limit (i.e., the router begins counting the data from 0 after this button is clicked).

Remember that the Clear data limit button doesn't clear the actual used data statistics for the SIM card, only the received data counters of the limit guard data counter!
