ICMC Check and Cellular Traffic Check is alternative.

【ICMP Check】
Enable ICMP, Router will automatically check whether the defined IP address is
reachable per 60s. If the IP address is unreachable and ICMP check is timeout at
the first time, it will check 2 time as 3s interval. If the third time is still failed, the
router will switch the SIM card.
The Check IP is an public IP or company server IP address.

【Cellular Traffic Check】

【Check Mode】there are Rx(receive), Tx(Transmission) and Rx/Tx check modes.

【Rx】Router will check the 3G/LTE cellular receiver traffic. If no receiver traffic within
the defined check interval, the router will implement the specified action Reconnect
or reboot.

【SIM Mode】

【Fail Over】SIM card mutual backup. Once SIM card is failed, it will switch to the
SIM2 and work on SIM2. Once SIM2 is failed, it will switch back to SIM1.
【SIM1 Only】Just SIM1 is available.
