devices (which is different from /dev/ttyUSBX on standard Linux). Sometimes you might plug some USB device into the
USB port on FortiGate 30E 3G/4G. Because the enumeration order of the USB devices varies, it can cause the modem
port of the internal EM modem to change. You must also keep in mind that not all modems have a modem port.
By default, the LTE modem daemon keeps a table for a list of the supported modems. There is a default value for the
index of the modem port for each modem with a modem port, or nothing if the modem does not have a modem port.
This means that, by default, you do not need to specify a modem port for a modem. In case someone has inserted a
USB device, causing the modem port to change to a different value, you can use this command to specify the index of
the modem port.
You can use the
diagnose system modem com /dev/ttyusbX command to find out the actual modem port in
the system. When you see the AT command interface on the Console, just input
keyboard. If it is a modem port, the device information will appear on the Console. Here
modem port. This is a small tip, but you do not need to try it if you do not have any additional USB devices attached to
the system.
The LTE daemon always has a default modem port for all the supported modems. For the internal LTE modem, it is
always port index 2. To let the LTE daemon to use the default port index, leave this parameter at the default value 255.

By default, you need to send a connect request to get connected to the wireless network and send a disconnect request
to get disconnected. If you set the modem to auto-connect mode, it will automatically connect to the network every time
the modem is initialized in the system and stays connected. However, there is some drawback to it. For example, you
cannot disconnect the modem simply by sending a disconnect request, and some modem commands may not work
when the modem is set to automatic connect mode. We recommend disabling the auto-connect mode, which is the
default value.

Fortinet Technologies Inc.
This setting is to be used on an external LTE modem stick only. For FortiGate LTE variants,
make sure to keep the default settings and do not modify its port value.
Be careful when using the auto-connect setting. If auto-connect is not enabled, FortiOS
issues modem activation commands when the modem is registered to the network. If it is
enabled, the modem will randomly connect to any wireless network which matches any profile
in its profile table, and it does not wait for input from FortiOS. If there are more than one APN
broadcast in the air which matches the profile of the modem, it may end up connected to an
unintended APN.
