Activating a data profile on CISCO 819 4G

Nathan Reeves · ‎06-22-2017

I have just received a CISCO 819 4G that I need to configure into a very simple setup.

I have a SIM card (Telstra). I am using the browser based Cisco Configuration Professional 3.3 that has come preinstalled.

At first glance, typing in show cellular 0 all using the browser based CLI shows all data profiles as inactive. I am not sure how for profile 0 it has dectected an AP of telstra.internet. I am not sure if this is correct so I have created a new profile(4) to use no authentication and telstra.wap.

This profile is also shown as inactive. I was hoping to use a command like

lte sim data-profile 4 attach-profile 0 slot 0

to make profile 4 the default and hopefully it becomes active.

However when I try to run this command, the invalid input detected message is shown on the browser based CLI.

Any ideas as to where I am going wrong ?

Thanks

Hello,

you need to attach the new profile in controller configuration:

819#conf t
819(config)#controller cellular 0/1/0
819(config-controller)# lte sim data-profile 4 attach-profile 1

If you did it right, this is what should show up under the controller:

819#
controller Cellular 0/1/0
lte sim profile 4

Hi,

I have a similar issue but the only difference is none of my Data Profiles show active status they all show inactive. How do I simply activate the profile?

Hi,

When you do a ping ( any data transmission to outside though that interface ) that will bring it up .

to bring it up automatically , what I did was to setup an ip sla to ping 8.8.8.8 once every often.

The problem shows itself when you first boot up the router before any traffic transmission . If you do the IP sla trick it will bring the profile up as soon as the router boots.

What if you can't ping 8.8.8.8?

iman-haghgoo · ‎01-23-2019

Then your profile setup might be incorrect , or your sim card is not activated for data ( check it on a phone first ).

My configs were as bellow :

router#cell 0 lte profile create 1 telstra.wap none
router(config)#int cell0
router(config-if)#ip add negotiate
router(config-if)#encaps slip
router(config-if)#dialer in-band
router(config-if)#dialer-group 1
router(config-if)#ip nat outside
router(config-if)#no shut
router(config-if)#exit
router(config)#dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 cell0
router(config)#int vlan 1
router(config-if)#ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
router(config-if)#ip nat inside
router(config-if)#exit
router(config)#ip access-list extended NAT
router(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 any
router(config-ext-nacl)#exit
router(config)#ip nat inside source list NAT interface cell0 overload

Did we ever get to the bottom of this?

I have the same issue. Sometimes when I ping 8.8.8.8 it comes right up, then I will reboot the router try the ping again and no luck. It doesn't even try to activate the profile.
