Hi,
we had the mangOH board with wp7608 modem , we would like to perform the UE attach with the local base station.
The base station is generating the signal for Band 3.
so i have a basic questions in relation to this topic
Thanks,
Siva
Hi Siva,
Refer to WP7608 PTS, it does support Band 3.
UE attach to network/base station is automatic assuming it can read the SIM card and has network coverage (just like our cellular phone).
In some case, we need to configure the network APN, i.e.
AT command:
AT+CGDCONT=1,“IP”,“carrierAPN” //carrierAPN is actual APN provided by your network SIM card
Legato tool:
cm data apn carrierAPN
But for debug purpose, you can check below AT cmd:
AT+CPIN?
AT+CGDCONT?
AT+CGPADDR
AT!GSTATUS?
AT+CREG?
AT+CGREG?
AT+COPS?
Let me know the return if failed to register.
Or you can use Legato command, “cm”.
Hope it helps.
Thx
Hi lotam,
Thanks for your inputs and I appreciate the quick response.
let me try your suggestions and then provide you the update.
Hi lotam,
We had a Cell ready transmitting with Band 3 LTE signal with bandwidth 20MHz. and we verified the setup with sucuccesful UE attach with the normal UE.
I had changed the apn using the cm data command. I changed the sim card provided by the epc vendor.
How ever, i dont see the sierrawireless has the ue attach succes.
Following are the output of the AT Commands
AT+CPIN?

Could you please provide any debug AT commands to trouble shoot this UE Attach problem
Hi Siva,
From log it seems SIM is working, but device searching for network and currently searching for UMTS band.
So, may just need to wait longer.
Or you may force it to scan only LTE band by below, please share the response.
AT!ENTERCND=“A710”
AT!BAND=?
AT!BAND?
AT!BAND=6 //set “0” to back to “auto” for all band

Hi lotam,

Sorry, Siva, my mistake.
Please set AT!BAND=9 to force it LTE only, so hopefully speed up the scan on LTE band.
(remind to set it “0” after test to set all band)
If still cannot register, even with good antenna and signal, please send below command and wait for response:
AT+CIMI
AT+COPS=?
This will scan and list all the operators and you should find the carrier name of your SIM… if not it means no signal from the carrier…

Test PLMN 1-1 ==> is the cell id to attach. But unfortunately its not attached
HOw to make forcefully to attach the above cell ?
Hi Siva,
you could try to use AT+COPS=1,2,“00101”,7 for making the WP7608
use manual PLMN selection of your LTE test network.
If the UE attach still doesn’t work with that you would probably
need to look at NAS EPS and LTE RRC signalling traces to see at which
point the UE attach fails.
Regards,
Reinhard
hi ,
we had tried the command and the below is the response
AT+COPS=1,2,“00101”,7
+CME ERROR: no network service
I had the wireshark log with attach reject. I ca share with you if you want more information.
Thanks,
Siva
Hi Reinhard,
Please do find the wireshark log during attach.
In the wireshark frame, I see an Attach reject.
sierrawirless attach reject wireshark.7z (2.3 KB)
Is the modem locked to sierrawireless simcard ?
Could you please provide the next debug action to have the succesful UE Attach.
hi,
we had tried with the standard sim provider from vodafone.
No succesful UE attach either with the standard network provider.

I had changed back to at!band=0 to support all the bands. Unfortunately, no luck with the UE attach.
Hi Siva,
no, the WP7608 is not SIM locked. Otherwise it would not send out an
EMM attach to the network.
From looking at the S1AP trace one can see that there is an Authentication
failure (Synch failure) from the UE to the network after the
first Authentication request from the network to the UE and there is NO
Authentication response from the UE to the network after three
Authentication request messages from the network.
My suggestion would be to check that the authentication related parameters
for the test SIM used have been entered correctly in your test network.
It might also help to retry with the vodafone IE SIM after you have
set the parameters for data profile 1 back to the
defaults with AT+CGDCONT=1,“IPV4V6”,"" .
Regards,
Reinhard
with the vodafone sim card, now looks to me, UE attach is success.
But not able to reach google dns server. I have configured the APN

Hi Siva,
both AT!GSTATUS? and cm radio report that the WP7608 uses the vodafone IE
UMTS network. It you want it to only use LTE networks you would have to
switch it back to AT!BAND=9.
According to https://docs.legato.io/latest/toolsTarget_cm.html you would
have to use cm data connect to setup a data connection.
Regards,
Reinhard
Hi,
I had verified the same test network setup with same authentication parameters with the two different UE’s and we had a succesful UE attach with both the phones.
How ever, we dont see the sierra wireless modem trying to register to the test network when we put back the same sim card in the sierra wireless modem. eventually NO UE Attach.
We are blocked on making progress to have an UE Attach with our test network. providing status of all the AT commands below

We would like to have the sierrawireless modem to have the succesful UE attach with the lte network.
Hi Siva,
my suggestion would be to do a cm radio off and cm radio on after you have set the correct APN for the network you want to use with cm data apn.
If you still can’t make the EPS attach work you might need other forms
of technical support as described here https://www.sierrawireless.com/company/contact-us/technical-support/ .

Reinhard
