Configuring 3G Settings

To configure the 3G settings, take the following steps:

1. On the Navigation pane, click Configure > Network > 3G to visit the 3G page.
2. With the 3G tab active, configure the 3G settings.
3. In the Status section, you can view the 3G connection status. Click Connection to connect to the 3G network.
4. Select Enable to enable the 3G function. By default, the 3G function is enabled.
5. Specify the name of the access point. In the Access point text box, enter the name of the access point. You can enter up to 31 characters.
6. Specify the 3G user information. In the Username text box, enter the username of the 3G user. You can enter up to 31 characters. In the Password text box, enter the corresponding password.
7. Configure the dial-up string. Ask your ISP to provide the dial-up string and enter the dial-up string in the Dial number text box.
8. Specify the authentication mode. When 3G dial-up establishes the connection, it needs to pass the PPP protocol verification. The device supports the following verification methods: CHAP, PAP, and Any. Select the desired method by selecting the radio option.
9. Configure the IP address information for the 3G interface. Select Auto-obtain to make the 3G interface obtain the IP address automatically. Select Static IP to enter the static IP address and the netmask.
10. Specify the online mode in Redialing options. 3G dial-up has two online modes as follows:
    • Redial interval: when the 3G connection disconnects due to certain reasons and the disconnection time lasts the specified length of time, the system will redial automatically. Specify the length of time in the Redial interval text box.
    • Idle time before hanging up: When the idle time of the 3G (cellular) interface reaches the specified value, the system will disconnection the 3G connection. Specify the length of time in the Idle time before hanging up text box.

    Note: The above two modes cannot be used meanwhile. Without configuring the schedule, the system will use the “Redial interval” mode by default.

11. Specify the security zone of the 3G interface.
12. Click OK to save the settings.
