- Saved Networks - Lists previously connected networks
- Add Network - Allows manually adding a network without scan
- Manage Certificates - Upload certificates for connections to EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS,and PEAP-MSCHAPv2 connections. While certificates are saved for known networks, Only the last loaded certificate will be used to make a new connections.
- .P12 for EAP-TLS
- .pem, .crt, .cer files for - EAP-TTLS and PEAP-MSCHAPv2
- Auto-connect to saved networks. (Default: Enabled) - When enabled, Link will automatically connect to any available saved network. Disabling this will only allow Link to connect to the currently configured network name, which may be desirable when choosing a network when multiple known networks are available.
- IP Mode
- Dynamic (DHCP): Link requests an IP address and configuration from the network’s DHCP server
- Static: When set to Static, you must manually configure the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, domain, and DNS server to connect to the network.
- Custom Network Name: Allows you to manually name this network interface
Access Point
- Access Point Name - Name of broadcasted SSID (network name)
- Security Mode (Default - WPA2)
- None
- WPA
- WPA2
- WPA/WPA2
- WPA3
- WPA2/WPA3
- Access Point Password
- The password that other devices will use to connect to the Link's Access Point
- Access Point Region - Conforms access point to the regional requirements to match country laws
- United States
- Europe
- Japan
- China
- South Korea
- Access Point Channel (Default - Auto (5GHz Range) )
- Select a specific channel or Range for the Access Point to broadcast over. This list is limited to country-specific channels.
Modems 1-4 / 1-8
Each of the Link's modems can be configured individually.
The available options will vary depending on the modem being used so your configuration page may look different than the screenshot.
- Enable - Enables/Disables selected modem
- Slot - Chose which SIM slot is used on modems that feature multiple options
- Configuration - Chose a configuration preset for your modem
- Auto Restart (Default: Disabled) - Restarts the Modem if no connectivity after 3 minutes
- IP Type (Default: IPV4V6) - Force IPV4 if there is carrier support. Sets the CID to IP instead of IPV4V6. Not recommended unless the carrier supports this.
- 5G Standalone (Default: Disabled) – Connects only using 5G Standalone (no LTE is required)
- Carrier Profile - Select your carrier's Modem Binary (MBN) profile. This profile applies the correct network settings, such as bands, protocols, and features, for your operator. NOTE: Locking MBN profiles may negatively impact your cellular experience and may cause your Node to cease functioning with other carriers or devices
Band Selection - Allows Selection of WCDMA, LTE, NSA 5G, and SA 5G, depending on your Node (Not supported by Node I or Node 5G-SW)
DHCP
Link's DHCP server is adjustable and allows for adjusting the DHCP range as well as saving client reservations to ensure they always connect using the same IP address.
Internet Check
By default Link will perform an uplink check to ensure internet connectivity across the available connections. This can be disabled or set to uplink check against a different server that you can specify by changing this setting to custom.
Speed Test
The speed test utility allows you to check the speed or ping of the available connections.
