I have a Cisco 829 cellular router that has the following message repeating.  I have tried a couple of fixes I Googled but no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

*Mar 29 14:07:19.997: %CELLULAR-2-MODEM_DOWN: Cellular0/0 modem is now DOWN.
*Mar 29 14:09:05.707: %CELLULAR-2-MODEM_UP: Cellular0/0 modem is now UP.
*Mar 29 14:10:05.885: %CELLWAN-2-MODEM_RADIO: Cellular0/0 Modem radio has been turned on
*Mar 29 14:10:16.049: %CELLWAN-5-SIM_FAILOVER_TIMEOUT: [Cellular0/0]: SIM slot 0 Failover Timer timeout !!

*Mar 29 14:10:58.262: CELLULAR: modem in slot 1 powered up

Hello,

 

post the running configuration (sh run) of your IR829 router...

!

It is the default running-config.  The only things that have been done are an update to version 15.9(3) and installed a SIM card in slot 0.

This issue appears to be with slot 0.  It doesn't happen with slot 1.

Hello,

 

what if you put the basic config below (important parts marked in bold) on the router, with just Cellular0/0 configured ?

Thank you for the reply.  Unfortunately, this did not work.

Hello,

 

what if you manually set the controller for Cellular 0 as primary ?

 

IR800(config)# controller Cellular 0
IR800(config-controller)#lte sim primary slot 1

I had a similar issue in an IR829. The problem was that the provider (Verizon) was dropping the link because some traffic that was not NAT'ed was going out. My solution was to use an out ACL to make sure that didn't happen. The carrier is using the carrier grade NAT segment for the cell network.

 permit tcp 100.64.0.0 0.63.255.255 any
 permit udp 100.64.0.0 0.63.255.255 any
