+**Automatic recovery when disconnected**
+When installing the GX GSM, or GX 4G LTE in an area that you expect continous internet coverage, you should enable the "Reboot device when no contact" option in the VRM menu of the GX device. This will reboot the GX device and GX GSM when the internet connection is no longer detected, such as if the modem loses cellular connection and does not reconnect.
+Enabling this setting will eliminate the need to manually power cycle the modem if required, as if it stops working for any reason, the GX will reboot and that should in most cases resolve the issue.

+Note if you are leaving internet service coverage areas (such as an RV on the move, or a boat leaving dock to go to sea) then you should DISABLE this setting, so that your GX is not rebooting itself for no reason.

+=== What to do if the GX GSM is not staying connected? ===
+Enable the "Reboot device when no contact" configuration setting in the VRM menu of the GX device. That will reboot the GX (and with it the GX GSM) automatically if the internet connection is not available.
