Network Priority Configuration (Flex-Server)

The Flex-Server follows a predefined interface priority for internet connectivity. This priority determines which network interface the server uses when multiple options are available. Currently, USB takes the highest precedence, followed by the order: GSM > Ethernet > Wi-Fi.

NOTE: If the server has internet via Wi-Fi and you connect an Ethernet cable, the server will switch to Ethernet and may go offline temporarily if Ethernet does not have internet, as it will now look for internet via Ethernet.

Priority Order

The current interface priority order is:

USB (highest priority)
GSM
Ethernet
Wi-Fi

NOTE: This priority cannot be changed from the dashboard. To modify the priority order, please contact the support team.

Configuration Notes

Review the following configuration details.

GSM

The server automatically handles GSM configuration; no dashboard configuration is necessary.

For more information, refer to Support New SIM Cards in the Field section.
Ethernet and Wi-Fi

If you are using only Ethernet or Wi-Fi to bring the server online, DHCP configuration is sufficient.

If you are using these interfaces to communicate with devices, we recommend static IP configuration.

Static IP configuration is a prerequisite for proper equipment and device communication setup.

Future Scope

The ability to view and change interface priority directly from the dashboard will be introduced in future releases.
