Cellular Interface
The IR807 routers use the Sierra Wireless WP7601 and WP750X series modems supporting Single Input Multiple Output
(SIMO) on LTE.

SIMO is an antenna technology for wireless communications in which multiple antennas are used at the destination
(receiver). The antennas are combined to minimize errors and optimize data speed. The source (transmitter) has only
one antenna. SIMO is one of several forms of smart antenna technology, the others being MIMO (multiple input, multiple
output) and MISO (multiple input, single output)

Installation of the SIM card(s) and antennas is covered in the IR807 Hardware Installation Guide under the Cisco 800
Series Industrial Integrated Services Routers page:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/routers/800-series-industrial-routers/tsd-products-support-series-home.html

4G LTE Dual SIMs

The Dual SIMs feature provides the following:

 A fail over mechanism in the event the primary SIM loses connectivity to one of the Mobile Service Provider networks.
There is no automatic fall-back to the primary SIM, since a change only occurs when there is no signal from the
carrier in use. A script is needed to reverse back to the primary. Both mobile provider networks must be supported
by the given IR807 SKU, and it must be in an applicable region.

— By default, SIM slot 0 is the primary, and SIM slot1 is the backup. Behavior may be changed using the lte sim
primary command.

— Profiles for each SIM are assigned by using the lte sim profile command. Each SIM has an associated Internet
profile and an IMS profile in the CLI.

— The fail-overs happen when there is no signal from the current carrier, and generally happen depending on the
fail-over timer value that is set. The default value is 2 minutes. The range is from 0-7 minutes.

Radio Configuration
The following examples are of an IR807 cellular configuration:

Controller Cellular 0 & NAT Configuration

Controller Cellular 0 is configured with default parameters. If a profile different from Profile 1 is set-up, it must be
attached to controller cellular 0.

If the SIM in slot #1 must be used as primary, it is done under controller cellular 0

1. Show the controller cellular 0

Upgrading the Modems

Upgrading the Modems

This section provides information about upgrading Cisco cellular modem firmware on the IR807. To make sure that the
modem's firmware and other settings are upgraded correctly, certain packages needs to be downloaded and upgraded
on the modem. It is important to identify the modem and SKU type and follow the corresponding sequence.

There are three file types that will be upgraded on the WP75xx and WP76xx modems:

 Modem firmware with carrier PRI which is a .spk file

 Modem Legato and Yacto firmware file which is a .spk file

 Modem OEM PRI file which is a .nvu file

Refer to Table 1 for the SKU, Modem Type, and Firmware.

Table 1 Modem Firmware associated with each SKU

SKU ID Modem Type Firmware

IR807G-LTE-VZ-K9 WP7601 TBD
IR807G-LTE-NA-K9 WP7504 WP7504_07.12.09.00_00_ATT_001.028_000.spk (For AT&T)

WP7504_07.12.09.00_00_SPRINT_001.020_000.spk (For Sprint)

WP75xx_07.12.09.00_00_GENERIC_001.033_000.spk (For other

carriers)

WP7504_1103235_07.12.09.00_00_Cisco_001.001_000.nvu

WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yocto_MCU.spk
IR807G-LTE-GA-K9 WP7502 WP7502_1103234_07.12.09.00_00_Cisco_001.001_000.nvu

WP75xx_07.12.09.00_00_GENERIC_001.033_000.spk

WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yocto_MCU.spk

The following rules apply when upgrading modems:

 Each of the files need to be upgraded separately. You cannot place them together in the same folder and perform
a simultaneous upgrade.

 When switching from one carrier to another, only the Firmware file corresponding to the carrier needs to be
upgraded. You do not need to re-upgrade with the OEM PRI and Legato-Yocto files. For example: If using an
IR807G-LTE-NA-K9 with the ATT SIM in one slot and Sprint SIM in the other slot, simply upgrade with the firmware
corresponding to the active SIM.

Firmware Upgrade Procedure

Note: The following example illustrates how to perform an upgrade using only a single file. You will need to perform the
same steps with each modem file (*.spk and *.nvu) to complete the firmware upgrade. For more information refer to the
Cisco Firmware Upgrade Guide for Cellular Modems guide, “Upgrading the modem firmware manually”:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/interfaces/firmware/Firmware_Upgrade.html#pgfId-1023076

Cellular Interface Modules

Upgrading the Modems

Perform the following steps to upgrade the modem firmware:

1. Go to the Cisco web page to download the latest certified firmware for your carrier by going to the following location:
Products -> Cisco Interfaces and Modules -> LTE Wireless WAN Interfaces.

2. Create a directory in flash to host the firmware, which will be downloaded in step 3.

IR807# mkdir flash

Create directory filename [flash]? <enter>
Created dir flash:/flash
3. Download the firmware to the directory in the router flash over Ethernet/cellular /WAN interface. This can be done
by hosting the firmware on an FTP or TFTP server, and connecting to that server via any WAN interface on the router.
Below is a example showing the modem firmware downloaded onto the router flash over the FastEthernet interface:
Note: Output edited for brevity.

IR807# copy tftp flash

Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.1
Source filename []? /<directory>/WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU.spk
Destination filename [WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU.spk]?<enter>
/<directory>/ WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU.spk
Accessing tftp://192.168.1.1//<directory>/WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU.spk...
Loading /<directory>/WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU.spk from 192.168.1.1 (via FastEthernet0):
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[OK - 24444106 bytes]
24444106 bytes copied in 132.368 secs

4. Verify that the firmware is available on the newly created directory inside router flash by using the following
command:

IR807# dir flash:WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU

Directory of flash:/WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU/
-rw- 24444106 Sep 4 2017 09:58:34 -08:00 WP75xx_07.12.09.00_Legato_Yacto_MCU.spk

5. Initiate a modem firmware upgrade using the microcode reload command. Ex : IR807# microcode reload cellular
0 lte modem-provision flash:<directory>?

IR807#microcode reload cellular 0 0 modem-provision flash:new-modem

Reload microcode? [confirm]<enter>
Log status of firmware download in router flash system?[confirm]<enter>
Firmware download status will be logged in flash:/fwlogfile

AutoSim and Firmware Based Switching running the WP7504 Modem

The AutoSim feature will identify the SIM card of the Carrier inserted and correspondingly load the correct modem
firmware. The advantages of the AutoSim feature are:

 Ease of Ordering Carrier Specific SKUs

 Quicker failover times in dual-sim deployments

Auto-SIM is supported in Sierra wireless WP7504 modem on the IR807. The WP7502 and WP7601 modems do not
support this feature. A CLI is available in the cellular controller to enable/disable Auto-SIM. The modem in Auto-SIM
mode selects the right carrier firmware after a SIM slot switch and an automatic modem reset. During bootup, if the
Auto-SIM configuration on the modem doesn’t match to the IOS configuration, the corresponding Auto-SIM or manual
mode is pushed to the modem.

After an Auto-SIM configuration change, the modem is automatically reset; the default is “auto-sim” enabled:

controller cellular 0
[no] lte firmware auto-sim

If Auto-SIM is disabled and the modem is in manual mode, select a carrier with a new exec CLI:

cellular lte firmware-activate <firmware-index>

Enable/Disable Auto-SIM:

MTU Selection for WP76xx modems

This new feature allows the user to configure the mtu setting under the controller, up to a value of 2000, for the WP76xx
modems. This requires setting the mtu on the corresponding cellular interface to match the same value as the controller.

The following example shows the controller configuration commands:

router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
router#(config-controller)#lte modem mtu ?
<64-2000> Mtu value

Firmware over the air (FOTA) on the WP76xx Modems

Feature applies to WP76xx modems only
Firmware over the air (FOTA) is a feature to remotely upgrade the modem firmware on the modems corresponding to the
cellular interface on routers. The FOTA feature leverages the Sierra Wireless Airvantage Server (AVMS) to upgrade the
firmware while connected over the cellular interface.

FOTA can be achieved through IOS Exec and config CLI’s.

 In Exec mode:

— The user executes the command and if the AVMS server has firmware available, then the firmware will be
download to the modem and the modem will be upgraded.

 In Config mode:

— The user can configure the poll timer. Based on the poll timer value the modem will communicate with the AVMS
server. If any firmware is available to download, then that firmware will be downloaded to the modem and
upgraded. The modem will attempt to connect to the AVMS server 3 times, After 3 attempts, the modem will
not communicate to the AVMS server again, but the IOS configuration will be preserved.

The following example shows the controller configuration commands:

router# [no]lte modem fota-poll-timer ?
<15-525600> Interval(in minutes) at which modem polls server for firmware (default is 15 mins)
<cr>

Note: Default poll-timer is 15 min.

Upgrading the Modems

CLI’s that are available in exec mode:

router#cellular <interface number> lte fota ?

start Establish AVMS connection for FOTA

router#lte modem fota-poll-timer xxxxx 15 valid values are (15-525600)default value is 15

The following are examples of the controller show commands:

router# show running-config
lte modem fota-poll-timer 15 default value
lte modem fota-poll-timer xxxxx when a valid value (15-525600)is configured

router#show cellular <interface number> fota

Low Power Mode

This feature provides the reason for the modem going into a low power mode if the situation ever occurs. It uses the
device power control information provided by the modem. A new CLI has been implemented show cellular <interface>
radio details.

The following examples show the controller show commands:

router# show cellular <interface number> radio
Radio power mode = OFF, Reason = User Request
Channel Number = 0
Current Band = Unknown
Current RSSI = -128 dBm
Current ECIO = -2 dBm
Radio Access Technology(RAT) Preference = AUTO
Radio Access Technology(RAT) Selected = AUTO

router# show cellular <interface number> radio details

Radio turned off under cellular controller configuration.
router#

Note: In the above show cellular <interface number> radio output, the Radio power mode shows OFF because the user
has turned the radio off by choice. In all other cases, when the radio goes to Low Power mode, you will see the display
Radio power mode = low power.

Enhancement to Modem Crash Action

A new CLI has been added to set the crash action on the modem upon a crash. The CLI is lte modem crash-action. The
device can be set to either reset, or to boot and hold.

The following examples show the new functionality of the configuration CLI:
Router(config-controller)#lte modem crash-action ?
boot-and-hold Remain in crash state
reset Reset the modem on crash

Cellular Interface Modules

Upgrading the Modems

This CLI will set the flag to either 1 or 0 for reset and boot and hold respectively. This is the same as AT command
at!eroption= 0 / 1

The following examples show the new functionality of the exec CLI:
router#show cellular <your interface> logs modem-crash-action
Current modem crash action: Reset

This CLI will show the current state the modem is set to. This is the same as AT command at!eroption=?.
