If establishing a mobile connection using a SIM, perform a connection test for the mobile line in advance to make sure that the connection can be made successfully.

▌ Reasons why a connection test is required
- The AG/AR/AC series have a failsafe function as a mechanism for performing a continuous operation for 24 hours a day by restarting the device in case a device failure or malfunction occurs.
- If configuring the automatic connection settings without checking whether a mobile connection can be established in advance, you may fail to establish a connection, and the device may be restarted by the failsafe function.
- To prevent unexpected reboots from occurring, it is strongly recommended to configure the automatic connection settings after performing a connection test manually.
▌Flow of performing a connection test
If configuring the mobile connection settings, configure the automatic connection settings after confirming that a connection can be properly established by performing a connection test manually following the flow below.
Follow the procedure described later to perform a connection test.

▌Connection test procedure
Checking the SIM
First, confirm that the SIM has been inserted into the device.
-
Remove the AC adaptor from the device, turn off the power supply to it, and check whether the SIM has been inserted into it. If a wrong SIM has been inserted into the device, insert the correct one into it.
- Connect the AC adopter to the device.
The power supply to the compact router will be turned on, and the state will change to stand-by sate for mobile connection.
Updating the SIM information
Update the SIM information.
-
Log in to the device.
The login prompt differs depending on the series and settings of your device.

❶ Confirm that the state has been changed to state connected.
❷ It is recommended to confirm that the radio wave state is as follows:
For a 4G line, the RSRP is at the normal level (-105dBm or lower).
For a 3G line, the RSCP is t the normal level (-90dBm or higher). - Disconnect the mobile line. If disconnecting the mobile line is successfully performed, proceed to Step 8.
amnimo(cfg)# no mobile connect rmnet_data0 - If you fail to disconnect the mobile line due to a problem related the settings, transit to session detailed configuration mode, and return to Step 2 in "Line tests". If the failure is due to a problem related to the SIM, return to "Checking the SIM".
- Return the settings to the original ones.
