(1) Select the connection waiting time and call waiting time (default values are 55 seconds and 30 seconds, respectively).
Connection latency refers to the time it takes for communication with the base station to be established.
Call waiting time refers to the waiting time before being authenticated.
(2) Select the no communication detection time and the maximum connection time (default value is "disabled" for both).
The packets to be monitored for no communication are those sent and received through the communication module. However, the following are not monitored:
PING request packets ( ICMP-echo-request )
PING response packets ( ICMP-echo-reply )
DHCP protocol to obtain IP address and DNS server information from the communication module
As for the maximum connection time This function disconnects the line when the connection state reaches the number of hours specified in this setting.
(3) Select the reconnect wait time and the number of connection retries (default values are 30 seconds and disabled, respectively).
Reconnection Waiting Time
This is the time to maintain the connection status without disconnecting the line when communication with the base station is temporarily unavailable.
By maintaining the connection for a set period of time, this function reduces the overhead of connection processing when reconnecting after a disconnection, thereby improving communication stability.
Number of connection retries
Refers to the number of times the connection process is re-executed if the line connection process is not completed.
*Because this is an optional field, you can proceed to the next step even if you have not entered any information.
Select the line disconnect threshold and duration (default values are -113 dBm and 30 seconds, respectively).
This function disconnects the line when the RSSI value is below the threshold value and continues for a specified period of time.
