Quick question - I have Huawei NCM dongle that I can’t get to work on the NCM protocol but can get a connection via proto 3g in etc/config/network. I don’t care much about 4g speeds, but want to know if I can receive signal on band 12 / 700 Mhz using this setup. Is this possible?
config interface ‘modem’
option ifname ‘3g-modem’
option proto ‘3g’
option metric ‘40’
option peerdns ‘0’
option dns ‘1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1’
option device ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’
option apn ‘epc.tmobile.com’
To lock bands you need to use AT commands manually.
The following command is what we used for Quctel model. I am not sure if this works with Huawei. Hope you know how to use AT command.
AT+QCFG="band"
AT+QCFG=“band”[,<bandval>,<ltebandval>,<tdsbandval>[,<effect>]]
The parameters needs to check manual of the module.
Thanks @alzhao. Turns out the following seems to be the closest functionality on Huawei:
Automatic selection: LTE>3G>2G
AT^SYSCFGEX=“00”,3FFFFFFF,2,4,7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,Only 2G (GPRS,EDGE) speed max. 384kbit/s
AT^SYSCFGEX=“01”,3FFFFFFF,2,4,7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,Only 3G (UMTS,HSPA,HSPA+) speed from 384kbit/s to 42Mbite/s
AT^SYSCFGEX=“02”,3FFFFFFF,2,4,7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,Only 4G (LTE) speed max. 150Mbite/s
AT^SYSCFGEX=“03”,3FFFFFFF,2,4,7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,
These can also be combined in order of preference, as in:
First preference 3G (UMTS,HSPA,HSPA+) speed from 384kbit/s to 42Mbite/s, then 2G (GPRS,EDGE) speed max. 384kbit/s
AT^SYSCFGEX=“0201”,3FFFFFFF,1,2,7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Of course, not the same ability to specify actual band.
Thanks. So these commands does work?
In Quctel there is actually a way to lock bands.
Yes, I can report that these do work with a Huawei MS2372 (and presumably other Huawei modem sticks too). Still haven’t found a way to specify the band or even view which band is currently in use.
Hi,RVIT
The following command is used for huawei modem.
AT^SYSCFGEX=<acqorder>,<band>,<roam>,<srvdomain>,<lteband>,<reserve1>,<reserve2>
If you want set the 2g or 3G band,you can change the “band”,for 4G band,you can change the “lteband”.
For example is specify the LTE band to LTE BC4. :
AT^SYSCFGEX=“00”,3FFFFFFF,1,2,8
Convert the corresponding hexadecimal to binary,the corresponding bit is the corresponding band,the corresponding relationship of 4G lte is as follows:
7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (CM_BAND_PREF_ANY) All bands
1 (CM_BAND_PREF_LTE_EUTRAN_BAND1) LTE BC1
2 (CM_BAND_PREF_LTE_EUTRAN_BAND2) LTE BC2
4 (CM_BAND_PREF_LTE_EUTRAN_BAND3) LTE BC3
8 (CM_BAND_PREF_LTE_EUTRAN_BAND4) LTE BC4
10 (CM_BAND_PREF_LTE_EUTRAN_BAND5) LTE BC5
20 (CM_BAND_PREF_LTE_EUTRAN_BAND6) LTE BC6
