Configure WAN Interface for Private 5G

  1. Log in to the NetCloud Manager for your R1900.

  2. Navigate to:
    Configuration → WAN Interfaces → Device Interface Profiles

  3. Edit the profile for the cellular modem.

  4. Under General Settings, adjust the following:

    • Modem Connection Mode: Force 5G Standalone

    • Service Provider Settings: Enter the APN provided by Celona (if applicable).

    • IP WAN Subnet Filter: Uncheck this option.

      This ensures the router does not restrict subnet access, which is required for Celona private 5G integration.

5. Click Save and apply changes.

Debugging and Validation

If connectivity issues occur, you can run modem-level diagnostics via SSH.

  1. SSH into the R1900

    • You may connect either via LAN or the cellular interface.

  2. List all interfaces

    devices
  3. Access the modem using AT command passthrough

    atterm <device_name>

    Example:

    atterm rmnet501
  4. Run AT commands to validate modem status:

    AT ATI

    Sample output:

    Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Incorporated Model: EM9190 Revision: SWIX55C_03.14.10.01
  5. Check custom settings:

    AT!custom?

    Typical response:

    GPSENABLE       0x01 IPV6ENABLE      0x01 SIMLPM          0x01 IMCONFIG        0x02 DHCPRELAYENABLE 0x01

These values confirm modem features and configuration are active.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Failure sending AT command: If you see ERROR responses, ensure you’re connected to the correct modem interface (e.g., rmnet501).

  • No connectivity: Double-check APN settings, SIM provisioning on the Celona network, and that “IP WAN Subnet Filter” is disabled.

  • Monitoring: Use the NetCloud dashboard to verify session status and signal strength.
