Using Ethernet devices in a WAN
The AnywhereUSB Plus device has Ethernet devices, named ETH1ETH2. You can use these Ethernet
interfaces as a WAN when connecting to the Internet, through a device such as a cable modem:
By default, the ETH1 Ethernet device is configured as a WAN, named ETH1, with both DHCP and NAT
enabled and using the External firewall zone. This means you should be able to connect to the
Internet by connecting the ETH1 Ethernet port to another device that already has an internet
connection.
Using cellular modems in a Wireless WAN (WWAN)
The AnywhereUSB Plus supports one cellular modem, named Modem, which is included in a
preconfigured Wireless WAN, also named Modem.
The cellular modem can have only one active SIMslot at any one time. For example, Modem can have
either SIM1 or SIM2 up at one time.
Typically, you configure SIM1 of the cellular modem as the primary cellular interface, and SIM2 as the
backup cellular interface. In this way, if the AnywhereUSB Plus device cannot connect to the network
using SIM1, it automatically fails over to SIM2. AnywhereUSB Plus devices automatically use the
correct cellular module firmware for each carrier when switching SIMs.
