Mikrotik Chateau LTE12 External Antenna problems

Tue Jun 29, 2021 6:09 pm

Hello,

I work for an Operator Company and we use Mikrotik Chateau LTE12 for 4G network. I meant to put external antennas on this Mikrotik to increase the throughput, but unfortunatly, i found a problem. My external antenna are not detected by the mikrotik even through they are great linked. The external antenna is a mANT LTE 5o.

Antenna to chateau
ANT1 to ANT1
ANT2 to ANT4

In Interface > LTE > Antenna Scan → none
Furthermore, while looking through a solutions on forums and manuels, an option is not on my RouterOS which is on others in the forums. In Interface > LTE > Modem > External Antenna () ||

It mean i can’t select any external Antenna. I’ve tried with an other fresh new Mikrotik and mANT LTE 5o.

Can you help find a solution ?

In the attachment, i upload a picture of my RouterOS screenshot and a picture of my Router Chateau.

Thanks !

Hello,

What RouterOS version is the router on?

Are you able to switch to the external antennas with the CLI command?
/interface/lte/settings/set external-antenna=both

Hello, thanks for reply
The router is on v7.1beta5 (arm), it's the factory firmware.
Yes, it work with the CLI commands. And with a print :
/interface/lte/settings/print
mode: auto
firmware-path: firmware
external-antenna: both
But when i scan Antenna it still doesnt find the Antenna and the button in the graphic is still not shown.
Thanks for helping

The factory firmware of Chateau LTE12 [RBD53G-5HacD2HnD-TC&EG12-EA] is one dedicated version 7.0 not available to download directly.
Someone put a beta on the device.

Hello,

Please enable lte debug logging and send the supout.rif file from your device to support@mikrotik.com generated after running the antenna scan.

LTE debug logging can be enabled from CLI by issuing this command:
/system logging add topics=lte

This article explains how to make a supout.rif file:

What you mean for "stable version"?
You use exactly the 7.0.3 "non-beta" and the only firmware supported for that device?

Ok,
so it means that instead of using quickset, with the risk of accidentally changing configuration,

just simply paste this on the terminal:
/interface lte settings
set external-antenna=auto
