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 !:

1. Set Voda profile

cellular 0/0/0 lte profile create 1 internet chap web web ipv4

1. Set chat script

chat-script LTE "" "AT!CALL1" TIMEOUT 20 "OK"

1. Define Dialer interface

1. Define line 0/0/0
2. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 cel 0/0/0
3. nat overload
