WWAN - WIRELESS WIDE AREA NETWORK (MOBILE NETWORK)#
Typical use is internet connection over mobile connection, mostly for using the Tosibox connection. Other use is to synchroniza clock or sending emails over it.
4g connection will be automatically monitored to be connected (Healthcheck destination) if any is defined. Healtcheck is done by the system by pingin the URL/IP address every five minutes and if it fails three times, the 4g modem is hard reset by cutting it’s power.
PIN code can be defined for sim in 4g dongle. User should be careful when using a PIN code because it’s possible to close the SIM. PIN code is applied
whenever stick is attached (including healthcheck mentioned above) or when settings are changed. This means that wrong PIN code won’t be lock the SIM card instantly but it will at some point.
WWAN information, like dongle status and signal strength, can be seen in settings -> system info.
