SXT LTE - Show Physical Cell ID (PCI)

jessearcher · Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:52 am

Does anyone know how to show the Physical Cell ID (PCI) the the device is connected to.

I can do it on other hardware (e.g. Huawei B315 and iPhone 6 - screenshot from my iPhone below).

Hello,

You can find this info on the quickset menu of sxt LTE or by the " /interface lte>info 0 "command on terminal

Unfortunately that command (or doing the equivalent via the GUI) don't expose the PCI.

The PCI is a number between 0 & 503.

I can expose it via my iPhone and despite being connected to the same cell the PCI (130) isn't showing up anywhere on the SXT LTE.

You should post your config concerning the LTE part of the config then maybe we can move forward in finding a solution.

Please hide all critical parts of your configuration when posting.

use " /export compact " in the terminal to get the full config and copy from it everything concerning your LTE config.

also I confused the values you wanted. You can see the Current Cell ID is "2" on my screenshot below current operator.

This is what I get when I run " /interface lte>info 0 "

Code: Select all

revision: chip:2.0 fw:0.1.2.3

  current-operator: 530,01 (ECI 786691/ eNBI 3073)

    current-cellid: 3

            earfcn: 1800 (band 3, bandwidth 20Mhz, DL freq 1865.0Mhz)

              imei: 356159060219486

              imsi: 530011109255837

              uicc: 1527016971281782133115240

              rssi: -85dBm

              rsrp: -115dBm

              rsrq: -10dB

              sinr: 9dB

The Cell ID of "3" is not the PCI.

Export of my config as requested is below.

It's important to note that the PCI which is what I'm after (to identify the cell I'm connecting to) is different to the "Cell ID" the Mikrotik is showing.
