Lock LTE connection to specific mast?

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

I’m looking for a way to lock the LTE connection to a specific mast if you know the mast details (eNB, operator etc). Is this possible and is there also a way to create a fail over in case that mast you’ve set goes down. Ideally it would be useful to have a lock to a specific mast and if this fails, the modem reverts to auto mode and searches for any available connection.

Any help with commands to enable and disable this function appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Andy

For Mikrotik LTE modems: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE#Using_Cell_lock
For others: I not know.

Thank you for that link. Very helpful.

However it seems that only works until a reboot. That defeats the reason I need to use it. I want to ensure a cell lock on a reboot due to power cut or similar.

Is there a way to ensure cell lock is saved to the configuration and remains active on reboot?

Create a scheduler that runs at startup and “on event” paste the commands that you use to lock the cell.

Reboot and see.

Regards.
