1.4. Cellular WAN status
The SPECTRE RT industrial router does not display the cellular WAN status.
The router displays information about the current cellular WAN connection.
Item Description
PLMN Code of cellular operator
Cell The primary cell to which the router is connected
Channel The channel on which the router is communicating
Level The signal quality of the primary cell
Neighbors The signal quality of neighboring cells
Uptime Current PPP connection time
Table 4: Description of cellular network information
If a neighboring cell is highlighted in red, there is a risk that the router may repeatedly
switch between the neighboring cell and the primary cell. This can affect the performance of
the router. To prevent this, re-orient the antenna or use a directional antenna.
The next section of this window displays historical information about the quality
of the cellular WAN connection during each logging period. The router has standard intervals
such as the previous 24 hours and last week and also includes information one user-defined
interval.
Period Definition of the period
Today Today from 0:00 to 23:59
Yesterday Yesterday from 0:00 to 23:59

Item Description
Level Min. Minimum signal strength
Level Avg. Average signal strength
Level Max. Maximum signal strength
Cells Number of times that the router switched between cells
Availability Availability of the PPP connection in %
Table 6: Description of Cellular statistics
The Availability displayed as a percentage and is calculated as the ratio of the time
that the PPP connection was active to the router power on time during the interval.
Placing your cursor on the maximum or minimum signal strength will display the most
recent signal strength reading.
The middle part of window displays information about the amount of data transferred
and the number of times that a PPP connection was established for each SIM card during
