18.2. How to check the operation of LTE-BOX

  1. Make sure that the LTE module is physically connected to the USB port of Abilis.

  2. Check if the LTE-BOX is recognised by Abilis as a USB device (Android):

    USB Server Overview:

  3. Verify if the LTE-BOX is recognised by Abilis as a active USB device:

    [11:18:13] ABILIS_CPX:d dev
    
    --------------- Active Watchdog and MFxx Resources (read only): ---------------

    CELLKEY-1   Yes Yes 501  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.1

    The Cellkey device must be Run:Yes and Con:Yes. If Run:No, this means what after adding of device Cellkey, the Abilis was not restarted. If Con:No, the possible cause may be the USB port mismatch. In this case check if the value of the USPORTID parameter it is identical, configured/assigned in d dev and seen with d usbdev.

    The usbportid can't change on-the-fly plugging and unplugging a device on a different port. If connecting a device on a different port is needed, follow the below steps to reconfigure the USBPORTID parameter:

    [12:48:39] ABILIS_CPX:s dev:cellkey-1 usbportid:none
    
    COMMAND EXECUTED 
    
    [12:48:44] ABILIS_CPX:init usbdev
    
    COMMAND EXECUTED 
  4. Check the current situation of the LTE-BOX device:

    [12:49:11] ABILIS_CPX:d d ctip:501

    For the meaning of these parameters and values, please see: Section 17.4, “CTI GSM/UMTS/LTE ports diagnostics and statistics”.

  5. If error is present in CELL-ERR it is possible to restart the LTE-BOX, it often helps:

    • Restart via AT command (debug res:ctisys cmd:l1pXt lsn:239, where X is the CTI port index):

    • Restart by disabling USB HUB port related to the device (debug res:ctisys cmd:l1pXg lsn:254, where X is the CTI port index):

      [Warning]Warning

      Use this just on device connected via Abilis USB dongle otherwise device stays disabled up to to next device power supply off/on cycle!

      It works also if device isn't displayed with d usbdev but in the d dev the UsbPortId is assigned.
