SIM-switching can be configured by data plan, disconnect settings, signal strength, coupled with switch back by time or by timer. All these options are under the “Auto switch” setting. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
by-disconnect | The SIM card switches when the active card gets disconnected according to the 'disconnect-threshold' and 'disconnect-period'. |
by-signal | The SIM card switches when the signal strength gets weaker than the signal-threshold. |
by-data-plan | The SIM card switches when 'capacity' is overrun and 'overage' is enabled. |
disconnect-threshold | The number (1 - 100) of disconnects for SIM switch to take place. |
disconnect-period | The evaluation period (600 - 18000) in seconds for SIM switch. |
switch-back | Enables switching back to the preferred SIM card. |
switch-back-by-time | Switches over to the preferred SIM /carrier at a specified (UTC) time (HH:MM). |
switch-back-by-timer | Switches over to the preferred SIM/carrier after a given time (3600- 2147483647) in seconds. |
