Connectivity management and diagnostics for cellular data devcies

Abstract

A cellular network device comprises a data network indicator and an automatic network reconfiguration module. A data network indicator provides an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria. An automatic network reconfiguration module automatically reconfigures network data connectivity in the event that an indication has been provided that data network connectivity does not meet performance or configuration criteria. A cellular network device comprises a data network indicator and a management channel. A data network indicator for providing an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria. A management channel for enabling automatic access in the event that an indication is received that data network connectivity does not meet performance or configuration criteria, wherein the management channel enables automatic access to the cellular network device for administrative maintenance or reporting.

1 . A cellular network device, comprising:
 a data network indicator for providing an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria; and   an automatic network reconfiguration module for automatically reconfiguring network data connectivity in the event that an indication has been provided that data network connectivity does not meet performance or configuration criteria.
