1.10. Mobile WAN configuration
The SPECTRE RT industrial router does not display the Mobile WAN Configuration option.
Select the Mobile WAN menu item to enter the cellular network configuration page.
1.10.1. Cellular Carrier Selection
The SPECTRE 3G Cellular Router can be configured to communicate on up to 2
UMTS or CDMA cellular networks. This allows the router to switch to a second carrier
network if there is a problem with the primary network. The router can only communicate on
one cellular network at a time and if redundancy is not required, then only one account needs
to be activated. For UMTS networks, the account information will be on the SIM card
provided by the carrier. For CDMA networks, the account is provisioned by the network
provider and a SIM card is not required.
The cellular carrier is selected using the Cellular WAN configuration page. The router
supports AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Rogers Cellular networks. Verizon and Sprint
have CDMA networks and the others are GSM networks. The default carrier is set to a
generic UMTS provider.
1.10.2. GSM/UMTS connection
If the Create PPP connection option is selected, the router will automatically try
to establish a PPP connection after power up. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the router will
re-boot and try again. For GSM/UMTS networks, the following network information can be
configured. In most cases, the necessary information will be included on the SIM card
provided by the carrier and these fields can be left empty or at their default values. Please
contact your cellular network provider for more information.
