6.2 GPS

Some modems and handsets export GPS data. The router can display the

GPS data directly, load the GPS data into an online mapping service and

export the GPS data over the network in real time. Use the

Modem

→

GPS

page to adjust how your router displays and exports GPS data from

supported devices.

6.2.1

Last Known Position

This section displays the latest update of GPS data the page has received.

The best way to get an accurate GPS reading from the router is to use the

GPS Network Access feature.

6.2.2

Data Update Settings

Update Method determines how the web page's GPS data is updated from

the router.

Automatic.

When chosen the page will update itself at a specified interval.

Update Interval.

(Default: every 15 seconds). Changed by using the

Update

Interval

drop down box that is displayed when the Automatic update method

is chosen.

Manual.

You must tell the page to update itself. When the Manual method is

chosen a button titled

Update

will be displayed. When the Update button is

pushed the page will update its GPS data.

These selections can be saved by clicking the

Save Settings

button at the

top of the page.

Map Settings

Load Coordinates into map.

(Default: enabled). GPS

page reads valid GPS coordinates from the router and

displays the location using an online mapping service in a

separate browser window.

Choose Map Provider.

Drop down enables you to choose

which online mapping service you have the GPS

coordinates sent to.

These selections can be saved by clicking the Save

Settings

button at the top of the page.

6.2.4

GPS Network Access

Enable GPS Network Port.

(Default: disabled). When

checked the router makes live GPS data available over the

local/wireless network. The GPS data can be read from

port 8889 of the router when this option is enabled.

Enable GPS Network Port on WAN.

(Default: disabled). When checked

the router makes live GPS data available to the WAN.

GPS data is presented in both NMEA 0183 sentences and Keyhole Markup

Language (KML) formatted data. To get NMEA data into a GPS aware

application you may need an extra piece of software that can bridge the

network NMEA data into a virtual serial port that the GPS application

connects to. HTTP requests to the GPS port will return data formatted in

KML for use in KML enabled GPS applications. Both NMEA and KML data

can be requested simultaneously by multiple users.

This selection is saved by clicking the

Save Settings

button at the top of the

page. After saving this option you must reboot the router for the change to

have effect.

6.3 Settings

Advanced modem settings is a method for customizing a limited set of modem

settings. Currently, this includes controlling the AT dial commands and entering a

modem password if required by the device.

6.3.1

Global Mode Settings

This section allows for customization of Global Modem Settings.

Reconnect Mode.

Typically modem connections are not always on. The CradlePoint

router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:



Always on.

A connection to the Internet is always maintained.



On demand.

A connection to the Internet is made as needed.



Manual.

You have to open up the Web-based management interface and

click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the

Internet.

Maximum Idle Time.

Time interval (in minutes) the machine can be idle before the

modem connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for

the

On demand

and

Manual

reconnect modes.

6.3.2

Global Connection Settings

This section is for changing the connection settings for any modem plugged into the

router.

Aggressive Modem Reset.

Some modems tend to become unresponsive or unable

to maintain a connection for a long period of time. This setting uses more aggressive

techniques to get the modem to reset and reconnect.

Verify Connection.

This setting causes the router to periodically verify that the

modem connection to the Internet is still active. Due to the nature of cellular

networks, there are times the modem will report it is still active but data will not be

able to flow across the connection. This setting enables the router to detect this

condition (either actively or passively) and restart the connection if there is a

problem.

Timeout.

This is how often the router will check to see if the modem connection is

still active. It does this by seeing if any new data was received over the connection during the previous Timeout seconds. This is the passive mode

of connection verification.

Enable Ping on Idle.

This setting configures the router to send a ping packet when no data was received during the previous timeout period. If the

connection is still active, a response should be received. This is the active mode of connection verification.

Ping Target.

This setting controls which IP address will be pinged.

Modem 4G Auto-Reconnect Policy for DUAL

3G/4G Modems

If a 4G connection is dropped, or can't be established, the router

will use 3G mode instead. The settings tell the MBR1200 when it

should automatically retry the 4G connection. If a 4G connection

cannot be made, the 3G connection will be reestablished or

resumed.

Retry 4G Automatically.



Custom

Data Rate Threshold (KB/Sec).

Select Data Rate Threshold.

Duration Threshold (seconds).

Select Duration Threshold.

If the rate of data on the 3G connection falls below

Data Rate

Threshold

for longer than the

Duration Threshold

, the router will

attempt to upgrade the 4G connection automatically.

If the

Data Rate Threshold

is set to a negative value, the router will attempt to upgrade the 4G connection automatically every

Duration

Threshold Seconds

.

NOTE: Some dual mode modems do not allow simultaneous 3G and 4G connections. For these types of modems, service to the internet will be

interrupted for several seconds while trying to upgrade the connection to 4G.
