Configure mobile network settings and view status

to do so.
Setup > Mobile Network
Mobile Network Connection Mode
Auto Connect If you want the Router to automatically
connect to the default mobile network when it powers
on, keep the default, Auto. To manually connect to a
mobile network, select Manual. You can use the Mobile
Connect/Disconnect button on the Router to connect and
disconnect from the mobile network.
Modem Backup When the cable/DSL modem is the
primary connection, the Router can use the mobile
network connection as a backup if the primary connection
fails. To use this feature, select Enable. Otherwise, keep
the default, Disable.
Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time You can configure
the Router to cut the mobile network connection after
it has been inactive for a specified period of time (Max
Idle Time). If your mobile network connection has been
terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables
the Router to automatically re-establish your connection
as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To
use this option, select Connect on Demand. In the Max
Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes you want to
have elapsed before your mobile network connection
terminates. The default Max Idle Time is 60 minutes.
Keep Alive: Redial Period
If you select this option,
the Router will periodically check your
mobile network
connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will
automatically re-establish your connection. To use this
option, select Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field, specify
how often you want the Router to check the
mobile network
connection. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.
Modem Backup validation site To use the default
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, keep the default,
