Ensuring a permanent connection: Failover setup for Starlink with Teltonika Networks
The importance of failover for constant internet connections
Network outages can occur at the most inconvenient times. However, with a failover for your Starlink connection, you can ensure that you can live, work and play without interruption.
Step-by-step guide to setting up a cellular failover
- Preparation: Make sure that your Starlink kit is properly installed and that you have a Teltonika Networks router with an active SIM card or E-SIM.
- Establish connection: Connect the Starlink modem to your Teltonika Networks router via the Starlink Ethernet adapter.
- Router access: Connect to the Wi-Fi network of your Teltonika Networks router and log in to RutOS.
- Verbindungsreihenfolge festlegen: Unter „Netzwerk“ können Sie die Reihenfolge Ihrer Verbindungen festlegen und sicherstellen, dass WAN (Ihre Starlink-Verbindung) vor Ihrer mobilen Verbindung priorisiert wird.
- Define failover rules: Define the rules under which conditions the failover should be triggered.
With these steps, the failover for your Starlink connection is set up and you can enjoy a constant and reliable Internet connection.
Setting up a cellular failover for your Starlink connection with Teltonika Networks ensures a constant Internet connection. Live, work and play without interruption and count on the reliability of Teltonika Networks.
What are the requirements for the facility?
You need a Teltonika router (e.g. RUTX11), a functioning Starlink system with Ethernet adapter and an active mobile connection with SIM card. A computer or laptop is also required for configuration.
How can the stability of the failover connection be optimized?
By adjusting the monitoring intervals and the number of successful tests, you can set the sensitivity of the failover detection. For example, an interval between 3 and 10 seconds may be optimal depending on the site conditions.
What are the advantages of combining Starlink with Teltonika routers?
The combination enables a reliable Internet connection with automatic switchover in the event of failures, which is particularly advantageous in remote or mobile areas. Teltonika routers also offer extensive configuration options for individual requirements.
How does the failover setup work with Starlink and Teltonika routers?
The failover function makes it possible to automatically switch to a backup connection (e.g. mobile radio) if the main connection (e.g. Starlink) fails. Teltonika routers recognize the failure and seamlessly forward the data traffic via the alternative connection.
