Summary

The Network page contains information related to the device's networking. This chapter is an overview of the Network page in RUT200 devices.

Mobile

The Mobile tab displays information about the mobile connection. The figure below is an example of the Mobile tab:
Note: If the device supports dual SIM functionality, it has an additional feature called "Switch to next SIM slot". See the table below:
Action buttonsDescription
Switch to next SIM slotAfter proceeding, you will lose current mobile connection. A temporary connection will be established with the next SIM slot. After rebooting the device, the default SIM will be used for the connection.
Restart connectionInitiates Mobile connection restart.
Field nameDescription
SIM card stateThe current SIM card state. Possible values are:
  • Inserted - SIM card is inserted and ready to be used
  • Not inserted - SIM card is not inserted
  • Unknown - unable to obtain SIM card state value. Possible communication issue between the the device and the modem
ProviderNetwork operator's name
IMSIThe IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) is a unique 15 decimal digit (or less) number used to identify the user of a cellular network
ICCIDSIM card's ICCID - a unique serial number used to identify the SIM chip
OperatorNetwork operator's name
Operator stateShows whether the network has currently indicated the registration of the mobile device. Possible values are:
  • Unregistered - not registered to a network and the device is not currently searching for a new operator to register to
  • Registered (home) - registered, home network
  • Searching - not registered to a network, but the device is currently searching for a new operator to register to
  • Network denied - registration to network denied by operator
  • Unknown - operator state is currently unknown
  • Registered (roaming) - registered to network, roaming conditions
Data connection stateIndicates whether the device has a mobile data connection or not.
Connection stageShow intermediate stages of mobile connection establishing process.
Network typeMobile network type. Possible values are:
  • 4G: 4G (LTE)
  • 3G : 3G (WCDMA), 3G (HSDPA), 3G (HSUPA), 3G (HSPA), 3G (HSPA+), 3G (DC-HSPA+), 3G (HSDPA+HSUPA), UMTS
  • 2G : 2G (GSM), 2G (GPRS), 2G (EDGE)
  • N/A - not possible to determine at the moment
IP addressMobile interface IP address
UptimeMobile connection Uptime
Carrier AggregationLTE Advanced Carrier Aggregation, CA, is one of the key techniques used to enable the very high data rates of 4G to be achieved. By combining more than one carrier together, either in the same or different bands it is possible to increase the bandwidth available and in this way increase the capacity of the link.
BandwidthBandwidth describes the maximum data transfer rate of Internet connection.
Connected bandCurrently used mobile frequency band.
Signal qualityCalculated indicator of overall cellular connection quality. The calculations performed based on network type:
  • 4G: RSRP, RSRQ, SINR
  • 3G: RSCP, EC/IO
  • 2G: RSSI
APNAccess Point Name.
MTUMaximum Transmission Unit.
Data receivedAmount of data received through the mobile interface
Data sentAmount of data sent through the mobile interface
Cell IDThe ID of the cell that the modem is currently connected to
LAC/TAC
  • LAC The Location Area Code, abbreviated as LAC is the unique number given to each location area within the network. The served area of a cellular radio access network is usually divided into location areas, consisting of one or several radio cells GSM/3G
  • TAC Tracking Area Code is a numerical identifier used in LTE networks to distinguish different tracking areas. A tracking area is a group of cells that share the same identity for tracking and paging purposes. TAC is an essential parameter for the UE to determine its location within the LTE/5G network.
Physical cell IDPhysical Cell ID is an identification of a cell at physical layer.
ARFCNIn mobile cellular networks, an absolute radio-frequency channel number (ARFCN) is a code that specifies a pair of physical radio carriers used for transmission and reception in a land mobile radio system, one for the uplink signal and one for the downlink signal.
Mobile country codeThe Mobile Country Code, abbreviated as MCC, is the code uniquely identifying the home country of a (Glossary:Mobile network operator (MNO|mobile network operator (MNO).
Mobile network codeMobile Network Code (MNC) is a unique two- or three-digit number used to identify a home Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to. MNC is allocated by the national regulator.
If mobile data limit is set and reached, near Connection column warning mark will appear. E.g.:
Bands informationConnected band
Other signal level measurementsOverall signal quality for different network types is defined by different measurements. Short explanations and recommendations are provided below. Click here for more in-depth information or click on one of the links below:
  • 4G
    • RSSI - received signal strength indicator, measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate a better signal strength
    • RSRP - reference signal received power, measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate better signal strength
    • RSRQ - reference signal received quality, measured in dB. Values closer to 0 indicate a better rate of information transfer
    • SINR - signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, measured in dB. Higher values indicate a better rate of information transfer
  • 3G
    • RSSI - received signal strength indicator, measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate a better signal strength
    • EC/IO - downlink carrier-to-interference ratio. Values range from -20 to 0 (closer to 0 indicates better signal quality/cleanliness)
    • RSCP - received signal code power. Values range from -124 to 0 (closer to 0 indicates better signal stength)
  • 2G
    • RSSI - received signal strength indicator, measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate better signal strength

LAN

This tab displays information about the device's local network(s). The figure below is an example of the Network window:
Field nameDescriptionDHCP Leases
AddressIP address of the LAN interface
NetmaskNetmask of the LAN interface. In a sense, a netmask specifies the size of a network. In other words, it indicates which part of the IP address denotes the network, and which denotes the device
InterfaceInterface which leased the address
HostnameHostname of a LAN client
IP AddressIP address of a LAN client
MAC AddressMAC address of a LAN client
Leasetime RemainingRemaining lease time for a DHCP client. Active DHCP lease holders will try to renew their DHCP leases after a half of the lease time passes.
Static LeaseThis action will reserve currently assigned IP address for the device in Network -> Interfaces -> Static leases.
Similarly there is an IPv6 dedicated tab.
Field nameDescriptionDHCP Leases
AddressIP address of the LAN interface
Delegated prefixThe delegated prefix is a smaller subnet given to a device to lease IPv6 addresses for its own DHCPv6 clients.
InterfaceInterface which leased the address
HostnameHostname of a LAN client
AddressIP address of a LAN client
Delegated prefixThe delegated prefix is a smaller subnet given to a device to lease IPv6 addresses for its own DHCPv6 clients.
DUIDDHCP unique identifier is used by DHCPv6 to identify device. Similar to MAC that is used by DHCPv4.
Leasetime RemainingRemaining lease time for a DHCP client. Active DHCP lease holders will try to renew their DHCP leases after a half of the lease time passes.
Static LeaseThis action will reserve currently assigned IP address for the device in Network -> Interfaces -> Static leases.
