Licensing Requirements and Limitations for LTE Cellular Interfaces
Involved Network Elements
None.
Licensing Requirements
LTE cellular interface is a basic capability of an AR router and is not under license control.
Hardware Requirements
This section is applicable to all models. For details about differences for specific models, see the description in the corresponding section.
Feature Limitations
When the LTE cellular interface functioning as the main interface is connected to the Internet, it cannot be permanently online. Therefore, you need to configure the automatic recovery function for the LTE modem. The LTE modem can be automatically recovered when the LTE modem fails to be dialed up consecutively or is in no service state.
You are advised not to use the LTE data cards to ensure compatibility.
Before associating an APN profile to a SIM card, ensure that the SIM card is properly installed in the SIM card slot.
The LTE cellular interface card supports LTE cellular interfaces. For the mapping between the device and interface card, see in the NetEngine AR Get to Know the Product-Hardware Description-Cards.
The multi-APN functions can be configured only on the LTE cellular interface (Cellular 0/0/0) supported by the AR611W-LTE4CN, AR617VW-LTE4, and AR617VW-LTE4EA.
The dual-SIM functions can be configured only on the LTE cellular interface (Cellular 0/0/0) supported by the AR611W-LTE4CN, AR617VW-LTE4, and AR617VW-LTE4EA.
V300R019C00 version:
LTE interface cards (except 1ELTE6-EA, 1LTE6-EA, and 1LTE-Lo) support the multi-APN configuration.
V300R019C10 version:
LTE interface cards (except 1LTE6-EA, 1ELTE-L-S and 1LTE-Lo) support the multi-APN configuration.
V300R019C11 and later versions:
LTE interface cards (except 1LTE6-EA and 1LTE-Lo) support the multi-APN configuration.
LTE interface cards support the dual-SIM configuration.
A device with dual SIM cards supports dual-card single-standby. By default, a SIM card is installed in the SIM1 slot. If it is installed in the SIM2 slot, run the sim switch to command to make the SIM card in the SIM2 slot take effect.
