As of LCOS 10.80 it is possible for devices with WWAN to automatically connect to the Internet over the cellular connection, so allowing the LANCOM Management Cloud to perform a zero-touch rollout. For this, the LCOS features new default entries for setting up a WWAN remote site.
The following requirements must be met for this:
- The device must feature at least LCOS 10.80 or be updated, for example via USB stick, to the necessary LCOS version.
- The inserted SIM card must not have a PIN. This can be deactivated on a cellular phone beforehand.
- The provider's APN must be included in the internal carrier list of the LCOS. The scenario with private APNs is not supported.
- The provider must support IPv4. A zero-touch rollout scenario via IPv6-only APNs is currently not supported.
Clients located in the LAN behind the device cannot connect to the Internet in this state, since the device still has the automatic LAN IP address, which cannot be used with forwarding. To do this, the device needs a fixed IP address on the LAN interface. This happens automatically when the LMC assigns a network to the device. The device itself can reach any Internet address.
