LED explained
LED | Color | Description |
---|---|---|
WWAN | Solid green | Indicates the modem is receiving power and is associated and authenticated but not receiving or transmitting data. |
Fast green blink | Indicates the modem is receiving power and is associated and authenticated. The blink rate is proportional to the transmitted and received data rate. | |
Slow green blink | Indicates the modem is receiving power but is not associated or authenticated and is searching for service. Check the antenna, cable, SIM card, or the user account with your service provider. | |
Off | Indicates the modem is in reset mode. | |
RSSI | Solid green | Indicates a high RSSI (greater than -69 dBm). |
Medium green blink | Indicates a medium-level RSSI (from -89 dBm to -69 dBm). | |
Slow green blink | Indicates a low-level RSSI (from -99 dBm to -89 dBm). | |
Off | Indicates the RSSI is less than -99 dBm. Check for proper antenna attachment. Adjust antenna placement and orientation. | |
Solid amber | Indicates no service is detected. Relocate the equipment. | |
HSPA+ | Solid green | Indicates HSPA+ is in service. |
Off | Indicates that a non-HSPA+ is in service or that there is no service. | |
LTE | Solid green | Indicates LTE is in service. |
Off | Indicates LTE service is not being used. | |
GPS | Solid green | Indicates the GPS is active. |
Off | Indicates the GPS is not active or not detected. |

Configuration
... < It is working !!! > ... but I have only UMTS service dough !:
- Set Voda profile
cellular 0/0/0 lte profile create 1 internet chap web web ipv4
- Set chat script
chat-script LTE "" "AT!CALL1" TIMEOUT 20 "OK"
- Define Dialer interface
- Define line 0/0/0
- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 cel 0/0/0
- nat overload
