Specifies the signal strength of the modem in -dBm. For 3G, this is RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator).
For 4G, this is RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power).
The following table shows the ranges to expect for

Specifies the Signal Quality of the modem. For 3G, this is ECIO (Energy to Interference Ratio). For 4G, this
is RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality).
The following table shows the ranges to expect for
Signal Quality for 3G/4G:

Specifies the APN (Access Point Name), and is required.
The APN is the gateway between the cellular network and the internet.
Used to set the desired Packet Data Protocol type. Depends on how the network provider has provisioned your account.
Enable/Disable the diversity antenna. RX antenna diversity means usage of two antennas and two receiver paths
to provide significant gains in performance. The gains depend on how 'decoupled' the antennas are from each
other. Transmitter (TX) signal is always transferred via primary antenna.
Used to disable/allow roaming service. Roaming refers to continued service when you go outside of your mobile operator’s cellular network coverage area.
Specifies the CS I/O port SDC address. When CS I/O is plugged in the active interface is CS I/O. To enable RS232
unplug CS I/O.
Specifies the diagnostic terminal CS I/O port SDC address. When CS I/O is plugged in an optional SDC address is available for terminal command communications
with the CELL2xx. This terminal port can be used to access modem status, usage, signal strength and control modem power states. The Terminal Port CS I/O SDC address must be different than the CS I/O Port SDC address.
Specifies the baud rate that will be used on the RS-232 port. Active Interface is set as RS-232 when CS I/O is
not plugged in. Data Bits 8. Parity None. Stop Bits 1.
Used to set the day of the month for the cellular data usage to reset. This is the start day of the billing cycle.
The CELL2xx supports two modes. The first (default) is PPP. In PPP mode the CELL2xx will automatically start,
setup and dial the modem. The connected datalogger is then able to start a PPP session. The datalogger dial
string needs to be left blank or set to "PPP". The second mode is "Serial Server" mode. In Serial Server mode
the CELL2xx will start a PPP session and open a listening port. When data is received on the listening port
it is passed to the RS232 port. Data sent to the RS232 port will be sent out on the listening port.
Specifies the user name that will be used to log in to the PPP server.
Specifies the password that will be used to log in to PPP server.
Used to set the listening port when in "Serial Server" mode. Defaul port number is 3001
Used to set if the ICMP ping service should be enabled.
Specifies trusted IP host address, with wild cards. Examples: 192.168.*.* or 0.0.0.0 or fe80::*:*:*:dfff
