Binding a 4G modem router to a base station
Currently, this feature is implemented using a specific CLI (command-line interface) command for 4G routers.
Use the interface UsbLte0 mobile lte lock command to set the binding to a base station with EARFCN (E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number) and PCI (Physical Cell ID) parameters.
The full syntax of the command is:
(config)> interface UsbLte0 mobile lte lock earfcn <earfcn-value> [pci <pci-value>]
where <earfcn-value> is the channel number indicating the carrier frequency at which the cell operates in the LTE network. It can take values between 1 and 68585 inclusive;
and <pci-value> is the Physical Cell ID. It can take values from 0 to 503 inclusive.
For example:
(config)> interface UsbLte0 mobile lte lock earfcn 123 pci 456
Mobile::Interface: LTE cell lock is set.To deactivate the binding, use the command:
(config)> interface UsbLte0 no mobile lte lock
Mobile::Interface: "UsbLte0": all LTE cells are unlocked.Use this command to save the setting:
(config)> system configuration save
