Usage Guidelines
Use Scenario
When a 3G, LTE or 5G link is unstable because of weak 3G, LTE or 5G signals or interference, you may fail to access external networks through the 3G, LTE or 5G link even if the dialup succeeds. To solve this problem, configure the device to use an NQA test instance to detect the 3G, LTE or 5G link status. When the 3G, LTE or 5G link is unstable, the device triggers an action to recover the 3G, LTE or 5G link.
Prerequisites
An ICMP NQA test instance has been configured.
Follow-up Procedure
Run the modem auto-recovery track action command to set the maximum number of 3G, LTE or 5G link detection failures in an NQA test instance. When the number of consecutive 3G, LTE or 5G link detection failures in an NQA test instance reaches the maximum value, the device triggers an action to recover the 3G, LTE or 5G link.

Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
After the modem auto-recovery track nqa command is run to use an NQA test instance to test the 3G/LTE/5G link status, if the link is unreachable for a long period, run the modem auto-recovery track action command to set the maximum number of link detection failures. When the number of consecutive link detection failures in the NQA test instance reaches the maximum value, the device triggers an action (re-establishing a dial-up connection, searching the PLMN, or restarting the modem) to recover the 3G/LTE/5G link.
Precautions
When mandatory is not specified and IPv4 dial-up is configured, the number of link detection failures increases by one if the cellular main interface is Up and there is no incoming traffic on the interface in case of an NQA test failure. When mandatory is specified, the number of link detection failures increases by one in case of an NQA test failure. When the number of link detection failures reaches the threshold, the system restarts the module. The interval for querying NQA test results is closely related to the probe-cycle parameter in the modem auto-recovery track command. The minimum detection time for executing an action is probe-cycle x fail-times.

mtu(3G/LTE/5G)
Function
Using the mtu command, you can set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for a cellular interface or cellular channel interface.
Using the undo mtu command, you can restore the default MTU.
By default, the MTU of a cellular interface or cellular channel interface is 1500 bytes.
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
mtu |
Specifies the MTU of a cellular interface. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 128 to 1500, in bytes. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
Generally, the IP layer limits the size of a packet sent each time. Any time the IP layer receives an IP packet, it checks to which local interface the packet needs to be sent and obtains the MTU of the interface. Then, the IP layer compares the MTU with the packet size. If the packet size is larger than the MTU, the IP layer disassembles the packet to fragments smaller than the MTU.
If forcible unfragmentation is configured, oversized packets are discarded at the IP layer. To prevent packet loss on the network, large packets must be forcibly fragmented. Run the mtu command to set the size of a fragment.
Precautions
If you run the mtu command multiple times in the same cellular interface view or cellular channel interface, only the latest configuration takes effect.
Follow-up Procedure
Run the shutdown and undo shutdown/restart commands to restart the related physical interface to make the configuration take effect.

rssi-threshold
Function
The rssi-threshold command sets the RSSI threshold for successfully establishing a 3G/LTE/5G link. Only when the RSSI is greater than the threshold, a modem can establish a 3G/LTE/5G link successfully.
The undo rssi-threshold restores the default setting.
By default, a modem does not establish a 3G/LTE/5G link based on the RSSI threshold.
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Setting |
|---|---|---|
rssi-threshold |
Specifies the RSSI threshold for successfully establishing a 3G/LTE/5G link. |
The value is an integer that ranges from -120 to -60, in dBm. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
Usually, signal quality does not affect 3G/LTE/5G link establishment by a modem in dialup mode. You can use the rssi-threshold command to configure signal quality to affect establishment and disconnection of 3G/LTE/5G links. When the RSSI is less than or equal to the threshold, the modem cannot establish 3G/LTE/5G link in dialup mode, and the established 3G/LTE/5G links will be disconnected.
- When services have high 3G/LTE/5G link quality requirements and will be greatly affected by poor link quality, set a large RSSI threshold to detect link quality and take measures in a timely manner.
- When services have low 3G/LTE/5G link quality requirements and will be slightly affected by poor link quality, set a small RSSI threshold to prevent establishment failures and disconnection of 3G/LTE/5G links.
Precautions
When you run the rssi-threshold rssi-threshold command multiple times on a cellular interface or cellular channel interface, only the latest configuration takes effect.
When you run the rssi-threshold command on both the cellular interface and cellular channel interface, only the configuration on the cellular channel interface takes effect.

Configures a modem to work in both the CS domain and PS domain. |
- |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
The 3G network supports both the CS domain and PS domain. The LTE or 5G network supports only the PS domain. To prevent services in the CS domain from changing the network from an LTE or 5G network to a 3G network, you can run the service domain ps-only command to configure a modem to work only in the PS domain when it connects to an LTE or 5G network.
Precautions
You can run the display cellular command to view the configured service domain of a modem.
After configuring the service domain of a modem, run the modem reboot command to restart the modem to make the configuration take effect.

The undo single-pdn mode enable command disables the single PDN mode for RUs.
By default, the single PDN mode is disabled for RUs.
The RU-5G-101 does not support this function.
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
When an RU is attached to a base station and establishes connections with the core network, you can run this command to enable the single PDN mode to reduce the network latency and improve the data transmission speed.
Follow-up Procedure
In the scenario where RU have been connected to the network, after the single PDN mode is enabled, those RUs will automatically disconnect from and reconnect to the network.
Precautions
This command takes effect only on RU.
sim-card reboot
Function
The sim-card reboot command restarts a SIM, USIM, or UIM card.
Only the models with ME909s terminal modules in V300R019C10 and later versions support this function.
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
A modem can automatically detect whether a SIM, USIM, or UIM card is properly installed. To restart a SIM, USIM, or UIM card, run the sim-card reboot command.
When this command is executed to manually restart a SIM, USIM, or UIM card, services on the specified cellular interface will be interrupted.
SIM, USIM, and UIM cards are not hot swappable.
To ensure that the installed SIM, USIM, and UIM cards work properly, run the sim-card reboot command to manually restart the cards after hot swapping these cards.
To check whether SIM, USIM, and UIM cards are working properly, run the display cellular command to view the SIM Status or UIM Status field.
sim-id
Function

Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
sim-id |
Specifies the ID of the SIM card bound to an APN profile. |
The value is 1 or 2.
|
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
To improve data transmission reliability of the 3G or LTE or 5G link, you can use two 3G cellular interfaces. One cellular interface functions as the master link to connect to a 3G or LTE or 5G network, the other cellular interface functions as the backup link to connect to another 3G or LTE or 5G network. When the master 3G or LTE or 5G link is faulty, traffic is automatically switched to the backup 3G or LTE or 5G link, improving reliability of access to the Internet.
However, some devices do not support two cellular interfaces or the costs of two cellular interfaces are high for users. Users can use a cellular interface supporting dual SIM cards. One SIM card functions as the master SIM card, the other SIM card functions as the backup SIM card. The master and backup SIM cards connect to different 3G or LTE or 5G networks. If dial-up fails because the account balance of the master SIM card is insufficient, the master SIM card is faulty, the 3G or LTE or 5G link signal quality is poor, or the connected 3G or LTE or 5G network is faulty, traffic is automatically switched to the backup SIM card, ensuring uninterrupted enterprise services.
You can run the sim-id command on an APN profile to set the ID of a SIM card to determine the master or backup SIM card to be bound to the APN profile.
- When the APN profile is bound to the master SIM card, the cellular interface can connect to the 3G or LTE or 5G network through the master SIM card.
- When the APN profile is bound to the backup SIM card, the cellular interface can connect to the 3G or LTE or 5G network through the backup SIM card.
- When the cellular interface are bound both to the APN profiles, the master SIM card is preferentially used to connect to the 3G or LTE or 5G network. Only if dial-up fails because the account balance of the master SIM card is insufficient, the master SIM card is faulty, the 3G or LTE or 5G link signal quality is poor, or the connected 3G or LTE or 5G network is faulty, traffic is automatically switched to the backup SIM card.
Precautions
If you run the sim-id command in the same APN profile view multiple times, only the latest configuration takes effect.
The master and backup SIM cards cannot simultaneously work. Upon a SIM card switchover, traffic is interrupted for a short period.
sim switch to
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
sim-id |
Specifies the ID of the SIM card to which services are switched. |
The value is 1 or 2.
|
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In a dual-SIM card scenario, if the automatic SIM card switchover function is not configured or the conditions for an automatic SIM card switchover are not met, and you need to quickly switch the SIM cards, run the sim switch to command to perform a manual SIM card switchover.
Precautions
- In V300R019C11SPC100 and later versions, 5G interface cards support a manual SIM card switchover.
- A manual SIM card switchover leads to service interruptions for a short period and affects service transmission. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
- After the SIM cards are switched using the sim switch to command, configurations cannot be saved and are restored to the configurations of the active SIM card once the device restarts.
- After an active/standby SIM card switchover, the modem automatically restarts. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
sim switch rssi-threshold
Function
The sim switch rssi-threshold command enables the active/standby SIM card switchover function based on the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) threshold.
The undo sim switch rssi-threshold command disables the active/standby SIM card switchover function based on the RSSI threshold.
By default, a cellular interface does not perform active/standby SIM card switchovers based on the RSSI threshold.
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
rssi-threshold |
Specifies the RSSI threshold for an active/standby SIM card switchover. When the received signal strength is lower than the RSSI threshold, the cellular interface automatically performs an active/standby SIM card switchover. For example, if the RSSI threshold is –105 dBm, the SIM cards are switched when the received signal strength is lower than –105 dBm. |
The value is an integer in the range –120 to –60, in dBm. The recommended value is –105 dBm. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
When two SIM cards are available, if the 3G, LTE, or 5G link signal quality on one SIM card is poor and affects data transmission, the other SIM card needs to provide 3G, LTE, or 5G services in time.
The RSSI indicates the strength of signals received on a cellular interface. You can run the sim switch rssi-threshold command to configure the active/standby SIM card switchover function based on the RSSI threshold. When the received signal strength is lower than the RSSI threshold, the cellular interface automatically performs an active/standby SIM card switchover.
Precautions
Set the RSSI threshold based on the 3G, LTE, or 5G link signal quality.
- A large RSSI threshold (for example, –70 dBm) results in frequent switchovers between SIM cards. As a result, traffic is frequently interrupted.
- A small RSSI threshold (for example, –110 dBm) results in no switchover between SIM cards even if the 3G, LTE, or 5G link signal quality is poor. As a result, users will always use SIM cards that provide poor 3G, LTE, or 5G services.
If you run the sim switch rssi-threshold rssi-threshold command multiple times in the same cellular interface view, only the latest configuration takes effect.
After an active/standby SIM card switchover, the modem automatically restarts. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
sim switch-back enable
Function
The sim switch-back enable command enables an automatic switchback from the standby SIM card to the active SIM card.
The undo sim switch-back enable command disables an automatic switchback from the standby SIM card to the active SIM card.
By default, traffic on the standby SIM card is not automatically switched back to the active SIM card.
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
timer time |
Indicates the specified period of time after which traffic on the standby SIM card is automatically switched back to the active SIM card. When this parameter is not specified, traffic on the standby SIM card is automatically switched back to the active SIM card after 60 minutes. |
The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 65535, in minutes. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
When two SIM cards are available, if the link signal quality of the active SIM card is poor or the connected carrier network is faulty, traffic is automatically switched to the standby SIM card. After a period of time, if the link signal quality becomes good or the connected carrier network is recovered, you can run the sim switch-back enable command to enable an automatic switchback from the standby SIM card to the active SIM card.
Precautions
If you run the sim switch-back enable timer time command multiple times in the same cellular interface view, only the latest configuration takes effect.
After you run the sim switch-back enable [ timer time ] command to enable an automatic switchback from the standby SIM card to the active SIM card, ensure that the link on the active SIM card can recover after the time specified by timer time expires. Otherwise, traffic is frequently switched between the active and standby SIM cards, affecting service transmission.
In V300R019C11SPC100 and later versions, 5G interface cards support an automatic switchback from the standby SIM card to the active SIM card.
After an active/standby SIM card switchover, the modem automatically restarts. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

When the SMS service with a specified ID is referenced, it can be modified and can be deleted. If the SMS service is deleted, short messages cannot be sent.
Example
# Configure the SMS service with ID 1 to send the short message "The interface is in Up state." to the phone number +8613812345678.
<Huawei> system-view [Huawei] sms-pool [Huawei-sms-pool] sms item 1 telephone-number +8613812345678 content Info: Please input the sms content within 160 characters, end with '%': The interface is in Up state.%
sms send-item
Function
The sms send-item command configures the SMS alarm function on an interface to send a specified short message alarm to specific users when the interface status changes.
The undo sms send-item command deletes the configured SMS alarm function.
By default, the SMS alarm function is not configured on an interface.
Format
sms send-item item-id track-interface { up | down } [ after time ]
undo sms send-item item-id
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
item-id |
Specifies the ID of the SMS service to be referenced. NOTE:
The value of item-id must have been configured using the sms item command; otherwise, the command cannot be run. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 20. |
track-interface { up | down } |
Sends a short message alarm when detecting that the link status changes. |
- |
after time |
Specifies the delay for sending a short message alarm. If after time is not specified, a short message alarm is sent immediately. After this parameter is specified, a short message alarm is sent only when the link status remains unchanged within the value of time. If the link status changes within the time, no short message alarm is sent. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 65535, in minutes. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In the scenario of active/standby interface backup, when the active and standby links are switched, the active/standby interface status changes. Users can view the alarm on the device to know the interface status change. If users want to sense the interface status change anytime and anywhere, run this command to configure the SMS alarm function on the interface. After the function is configured, the alarm with the interface status change is sent to users in a short message.
Prerequisites
The SMS service with a specified ID has been configured using the sms item command.
Precautions
Currently, the SMS alarm function can be configured on interfaces only when cellular, ATM, and serial interfaces are used as the active and standby interfaces.
This command can be run on each interface at most four times, and the latest configuration does not override the previous ones.
Example
# Configure the SMS alarm function on Cellular0/0/0 to send the short message "The interface is in Up state." to the phone number +8613812345678 when the link on the interface goes Up. Send the short message "The interface is still in Up state." to the phone number if services are not switched back to the active link after 120 minutes.

Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
name username |
Specifies the user name for accessing an external PDN network, which is provided by the carrier. |
The value is a string of 1 to 64 case-sensitive characters without spaces. |
cipher |
Displays the password in cipher text. |
- |
simple |
Displays the password in plain text. NOTE:
When you specify simple, the password is saved in plain text in the configuration, which brings potential security risks. You are advised to specify cipher to save the password in the cipher text. |
- |
password |
Specifies the user password for accessing an external PDN network, which is provided by the carrier. |
The value is a case-sensitive character string without spaces. If simple is specified, the password is in plain text and contains 1 to 32 characters. If cipher is specified, the password is either in cipher text containing 24 to 68 characters, for example, %^%#k5bf>8df@:_;Na'+R"U,#L#w88HE1M.L4YY2~W2u0%RDL#z#%^%#, or in plain text containing 1 to 32 characters, for example, 214357. |
authentication-mode { auto | pap | chap } |
Specifies the authentication mode.
When the authentication-mode parameter is not specified, no authentication is performed by default. NOTE:
Select a proper authentication mode based on the carrier network. PAP authentication provides lower security. When you specify auto or pap to enable the device to use PAP authentication, the password is transmitted in plain text on the network. This brings potential security risks. |

Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
A user uses a cellular interface to access an external PDN network through a network. To ensure information security, the external PDN network authenticates the access user. The user can use the cellular interface to perform data communication with the external PDN network through a network only after the user passes the authentication.
Precautions
Contact the carrier when configuring the user name, password, and authentication mode.
