Managing a 4G modem
About managing a 4G modem
A 4G modem connects a device to a 4G network.
The device supports SIC 4G modems. A SIC 4G modem is not hot swappable. After a SIC 4G modem is installed, the device creates a cellular interface dynamicaly based on the slot number of the modem and uses the interface to manage the modem. When the modem is removed from the device, the system removes the cellular interface and its configuration.
A cellular interface can be channelized into a serial or an Eth-channel interface. The data link layer protocols of the serial interface and Eth-channel interface are PPP and Ethernet, respectively. The two interfaces support IP at the network layer.
The cellular interface of a 4G modem can be channelized only into an Eth-channel interface.

Restrictions and guidelines: 3G/4G modem management
Follow these restrictions and guidelines when you configure 3G/4G modem management:
· Do not remove a USB 3G/4G modem while it is transmitting data. As a best practice, execute the shutdown command to shut down the USB 3G/4G modem before removing it.
· A USB 3G/4G modem is not usable when the USB interface to which the modem is attached is shut down. For more information about shutting down a USB interface, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
· Unless otherwise noted, the 3G/4G modem configuration in this document is saved in the non-volatile storage on the 3G/4G modem. To verify the configuration, use the display cellular command.
4G modem management tasks at a glance
To manage a 4G modem, perform the following tasks:
1. Configuring an Eth-channel interface for a 4G modem
2. (Optional.) Associating 4G link backup with a track entry
3. (Optional.) Issuing a configuration directive to a 4G modem

Restoring the default settings for an Eth-channel interface
Restrictions and guidelines
CAUTION: Restoring the default interface settings might interrupt ongoing network services. Make sure you are fully aware of the impact of this command when you use it on a live network. |
The default command might fail to restore the default settings for some commands for reasons such as command dependencies and system restrictions. Use the display this command in interface view to identify these commands. Then use their undo forms or follow the command reference to individually restore their default settings. If your restoration attempt still fails, follow the error message instructions to resolve the problem.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.

Specifying the primary or secondary SIM card
About this task
On a device that uses dual SIM card, you can specify the use of the secondary SIM card when one of the following problems occurs:
· The 4G link signals of the primary SIM card are weak.
· The service provider network that the primary SIM card connects to is unavailable.
· The primary SIM card has failed.
If the problems of the primary SIM card are resolved, you can specify the use of the primary SIM card or enable the 3G/4G modem to automatically switch back to the primary SIM card.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
