Failover Policies
Set the failover policies to switch to another SIM card:
Ping timeout continuously: If gateway ping the preset address timeout continuously for
Max Retries time, it will switch to the other SIM card.
Note: User can preset the address/Interval/Max Retries time in Dual SIM -> Ping Control
(ICMP).
Monthly data traffic limitation: If the SIM card that the gateway worked with currently
has reached the preset data traffic limitation, it will switch to the other SIM card.
Switch to backup SIM when preferred SIM is roaming: Gateway will Switch to the other
SIM card when preferred SIM card is roaming.
GPRS got null DNS: In some countries, normal SIM card will not get DNS when it run out
of GPRS traffic or need to be charge. This feature will allow M1000 Pro V2 switch to
another SIM card when SIM card get null DNS.
Note: Sometimes VPDN SIM card do not get DNS (it depends on local network in
different countries), but can connect to Internet normally. So when using VPDN SIM
card, don’t click to enable “GPRS got null DNS”. Or M1000 Pro V2 will keep switching
SIM card and will not get it online.
