Hello all,

I’ve been have some communication issues that I’ve not been able to get to the bottom of but I’ve noticed this error that seems to fill the logs of modems that encounter this issue.

I’m able to ping out to GoogleDNS, OpenDNS, and CloudFlare . The modem is establishing a connection and all lights are green. Below is the full error as shown in the logs. If needed I can post full logs.

May 2 21:11:16 [err ] ALEOS_LINKMGMT_servicemon [Cellular] Could not bind socket to source address - 8.8.8.8

  • Please make sure you have attached antennas to the RV55. Two antennas are required when connecting to an LTE network.
  • What version of ALEOS and Radio Module firmware is the RV55 running?

***Here are the instructions for obtaining the log file and template file:
