o Check Enable and select Internal Cellular Modem as the Modem
o Select Management LAN as the Interface
o If your router has issues accepting the cellular network settings via DHCP,
check Enable Force Subnet Mask and enter Force Subnet Mask of 24
o To access to ACM7004-2-L itself (e.g. for OOB management) using the
cellular IP address, check Intercept Enabled for the desired services
Note: To use Service Intercepts, the ACM7004-2-L
must not have a non-
cellular default route installed
. Ensure both Serial & Network: IP: Network
Interface and Management LAN Interface are set to Static and Default
Gateway fields are blank.
