Note This is the help page for configuring the 3G/4G > Settings page for an external 3G/4G wireless WAN interface. For help with the Modem > Settings page for an external analog modem interface, see “Modem > Settings” section on page 370.
On the 3G/4G > Settings page, you can configure the following three settings:
3G/4G/Mobile Device Type - Select whether you are using an a 3G/4G/Mobile connection, an Analog Modem, or Auto-detect.
The Connect on Data Categories settings allow you to configure the 3G/4G interface to automatically connect to the 3G/4G service provider when the SonicWALL appliance detects specific types of traffic. The Connect on Data Categories include:
• NTP packets
• GMS Heartbeats
• System log e-mails
• AV Profile Updates
• SNMP Traps
• Licensed Updates
• Firmware Update requests
• Syslog traffic
To configure the SonicWALL appliance for Connect on Data operation, you must select Connect on Data as the Connection Type for the Connection Profile. See 3G/4G > Connection Profiles for more details.
The Management/User Login section must be configured to enable remote management of the SonicWALL appliance over the 3G/4G interface.
You can select any of the supported management protocol(s): HTTPS, Ping, SNMP, and/or SSH. You can also select HTTP for management traffic. However, bear in mind that HTTP traffic is less secure than HTTPS.
Select Add rule to enable redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to have the SonicWALL automatically convert HTTP requests to HTTPS requests for added security.
Note In previous releases of SonicOS, probe monitoring for the 3G/4G interface was configured on the 3G/4G > Settings page. Beginning in SonicOS 5.8, probe monitoring is configured on the Network > Failover & LB page. See “Interface Probe Settings” on page 223 for more information.
