Modem LTE

AL300 has an integrated modem that allows you to connect to the internet in the absence of other existing networks. To connect via LTE, you need to:

  • have a data SIM (nanoSIM format)
  • make sure you have disabled the SIM PIN
  • (recommended) try the SIM on a phone and make sure there is credit available and that it allows you to browse the internet
  • connect the antenna to the RP-SMA connector on the front cover of the gateway
  • insert the SIM into the gateway following these instructions

According to the default settings, an APN is automatically selected and, in the absence of other internet connections via ethernet/WiFi, the modem is activated and the gateway connects to the cloud

Settings

You can:

  • manually specify an APN (useful for SIMs from some virtual operators). The APN is a configuration parameter specific to each mobile connectivity operator
  • choose whether to keep the modem always on, always off, or to monitor other internet connections and activate it only if these are not present or not working properly
  • choose whether to suspend the VPN service to reduce data consumption (useful if the cost per MB of traffic is high)
  • enable the sending of configuration commands via SMS
