LTE interface not getting IP:
-
Please make sure, you recieved any PRIVATEAPN from the service provider.
If so please use the "Add PrivateAPN" option of respective LTE interface in the network appliance UI Interfaces page. -
Disable and Enable the respective LTE interface in the network appliance UI Interfaces page.
-
Make sure all Antennas are connected and are intact, if needed reconnect the Antennas.
LTE interface / Modem not listed:
- Reboot the network appliance.
T-Mobile SIM : 192.0.0.2 IP issue:
Please execute the following AT commands and reboot the network appliance once. If the respevtive LTE interface is not getting IPv4 IP ( not 192.0.0.2 ), repeat the steps and reboot the unit.
Note: Same steps for 4G or 5G.
Find the resepective serial device using the mmcli output to send the AT commands to the Modem.

System | device: /sys/devices/platform/1a0c0000.usb/usb4/4-1
| drivers: option, qmi_wwan
| plugin: quectel
| primary port: cdc-wdm1
| ports: cdc-wdm1 (qmi), ttyUSB6 (at), ttyUSB7 (at), wwan1 (net)Either Minicom or Socat can be used to execute the AT commands. If you see morethan 1 ttyUSB? (at) listed in the mmcli output, start from last one as shown below.
Using minicom :
***************
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB7
AT+CFUN=0
AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",0
AT+QMBNCFG="Deactivate"
AT+QMBNCFG="select","ROW_Generic_3GPP_PTCRB_GCF"
AT+CFUN=1,1
AT+QCFG="CLAT",1,1,"",0,"",0,0,0,0,0,0
AT$QCPRFMOD=PID:1,OVRRIDEHOPDP:"IPV6"
AT+CFUN=1,1
AT$QCPRFMOD=PID:1,OVRRIDEHOPDP:""
AT+QCFG="CLAT",0
AT+QNWPREFCFG="mode_pref", AUTO
#To exit from minicom
Ctrl+A Z
# Reboot the BPI
After AT+CFUN=1,1 , Modem will reset. So 1-2 minutes the minicom session will not work.
Once Modem resets, again it will reconnect.
After that you can execute commands that are after AT+CFUN=1,1.
Once all commands are executed, come out of Minicom and Reboot the BPI.
with the above steps, not getting IPV4 IP, then do the following.
AT+QNWPREFCFG="nr5g_disable_mode",1Using socat :
echo AT+CFUN=0 | sudo socat - /dev/ttyUSB7,crnl
echo AT+QMBNCFG=\"AutoSel\",0 | sudo socat - /dev/ttyUSB7,crnl
echo AT+QMBNCFG=\"Deactivate\" | sudo socat - /dev/ttyUSB7,crnl

echo AT+QNWPREFCFG=\"mode_pref\", AUTO | sudo socat - /dev/ttyUSB7,crnl
# Reboot the BPI
After AT+CFUN=1,1 , Modem will reset. So 1-2 minutes, so wait for 2 minutes.
Then you can execute commands that are after AT+CFUN=1,1.
Once all commands are executed, Reboot the BPI.
with the above steps, not getting IPV4 IP, then do the following.
echo AT+QNWPREFCFG=\"nr5g_disable_mode\",1 | sudo socat - /dev/ttyUSB7,crnlModem mode setting: LTE Mode:
echo AT+QNWPREFCFG=\"mode_pref\",LTE | sudo socat - /dev/ttyUSB7,crnl
Once the mode is changed, please Disable and Enable the LTE interface from Edge controller UI interfaces page.
Or reboot the unit once.Power Cycle the LTE Modem(s):
-

power OFF:
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/power-5g/valuepower ON:
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/power-5g/value -
4G LTE1
power OFF:
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/power-lte1/valuepower ON:

4G LTE2
power OFF:
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/power-lte2/valuepower ON:
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/power-lte2/valueOnce power cycle commands executed, wait for 1-2 mins.
