image-preference Modem image preference.
allow-modify-wireless-profile-table Allow LTE daemon to modify wireless profile table, if
running GENERIC firmware.
sim-auto-switch Enable/disable SIM card auto detection.
connection-auto-switch Enable/disable SIM card switch based on connectivity.
set status
FortiWiFi-40F-3G4G (lte-modem) # set status
enable Enable USB LTE/WIMA device.
disable Disable USB LTE/WIMA device.
The set status command allows you to enable or disable the modem. It acts as the switch of LTE modem daemon.
When the LTE modem daemon is switched off, the modem will stop transferring data. You can still use the AT
command interface. It is important to note that disabling the LTE modem daemon does not disable GPS and data
usage tracking daemons. It does not affect DM port either.
set extra-init
FortiWiFi-40F-3G4G (lte-modem) # set extra-init
<string> please input string value
This is a legacy command, which sends an AT command to the modem once the system has detected it.
Do NOT use this command to configure APN. Use the wireless profile or set apninstead.
Otherwise, the modem may get confused and become unstable.
set manual-handover
FortiWiFi-40F-3G4G (lte-modem) # set manual-handover
enable Enable 3G to LTE manual handover.
By default, the network type is set to auto, which means the modem will automatically select a network to connect to,
either LTE or 3G (UMTS or CDMA). When LTE signal drops, the modem will switch to the 3G network. If, after a while,
the LTE signal comes back to normal, the modem will switch back to the LTE network. This process is called a
handover. Handover is supposed to happen automatically, but the modem may fail to do so in some cases. The set
manual-handover command is used to resolve this issue.
