MC7455/CBA850 Band lock being undone? SOLVED
Posted: Fri May 26, 2023 8:59 am
I have two different Cradepoint CBA850s. I've tried configuring both so they'll lock on Band 13 on Visible's network. I finally got one to work (by trial and error of messing with the CBA850's config, I think anyway), but the other continues to use Band 5. When I go back into the dev console, I can see at!band has reset back to "00" (all bands) from "13". Looking at the CBA850's log, it looks like the following is where it's happening:
lte_sierra_provision_process() step:231, status:0
Fri May 26 09:32:15 2023|INFO|cp_stack_mgr|modem1: LTE Modem Plugging - msg: Setting band - status:231
In the CBA850 that is working correctly, at the same point, the following is logged:
Fri May 26 09:07:16 2023|INFO|cp_stack_mgr|INFO lte_sierra.c(1109) modem1: lte_sierra_provision_process() already at Auto, move along
Any ideas? Thanks!
UPDATE: Crap. It looks like the router that was locked on Band 13 also has somehow reset back to using all bands. Anyone have a clue on what would be causing the band on the modem to keep getting reset?
UPDATE 2: Here's some log entries when the modem gets switched from Band 13 back to 5:
