Sierra MC7455 with RouterOS 7.1b3 on RB922UAGS

Sun Dec 20, 2020 7:27 pm

Hi,
I have a Sierra MC7455 , when connecting to the RB922UAGS routerboard it does get recognized but not as an LTE interface but rather as a serial device using PPP.

The modem has the USB 3.0 pins taped out, it is running in usbcomp mode 8( verified using swi_switchmode.pl script used on a laptop with a USB/mini-pci adapter) :
*  8 - DM   NMEA  AT    MBIM                            SUPPORTED
Only other modes supported are MBIM only (9) and QMI (6) tried both but didn't got something else.

Your modem should be supported in MBIM mode. But you will not be able to talk to it using at-chat.

The same issue on 7.1b3-7.1b5. The error I see in the log is:
lte1: reply timeout for: AT E0 V1
There's no lte1 interface in the interface list.

7.1beta6, the bug hasn't been resolved. I still have to run 7.1beta2.

Hello,

Actually EM7455B still doesn't work with continuous "lte1: reply timeout for: AT E0 V1" message on 7.1rc1-4 (tested on MIPSBE, ARM, MMIPS) so have to downgrade back to 7.1b2 (the latest firmware it works with).
Could you please check and fix it?
EM7455B - FW: SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00 / MBIM

Thanks in advance,
Gleb

EM7455/MBIM still doesn't work even on 7.1.1 stable, the problem is the same
lte1: reply timeout for: AT E0 V1
I have to stay on 7.1b2

Just tested on BaseBox2:

7.2rc3 - cyclic - "lte1: reply timeout for: AT E0 V1"

7.3.1 and 7.4 don't have the AT timeout problem, but they may still not connect over LTE if you upgraded from a beta. To resolve the problem go to Interfaces -> LTE -> LTE APNs and untick "Use Network APN" in the APN profile you are using. After that everything works as expected.
