Extended status display of the login to the cellular network

In order to more quickly analyze connection problems in a cellular network, WWAN-capable routers report all logon procedures to the SYSLOG. In this manner, the user can recognize if and why the cellular service provider rejected the connection, for example.

The device generates a SYSLOG entry for each of the following events:
