Simple script to execute a command ~4 minutes after router boots up...

[radiomean]

Hi there, the title says it all really...

I am sure it is not difficult but I would appreciate a bit of advice.

I am programming a 887VAG-4G and would like the command 'cell 0 lte plmn select auto' to be executed about 4 minutes after the router re-boots or reloads . Can someone point me at the scripting to do this please?

Cheers, Bill

PS Perhaps I should add, the reason I want to execute this command is that the cellular modem never connects to a network of its own accord. The modem comes up but if I do 'sh cell 0 network' I can see the roaming status defaults to 'roaming' and the network selection mode defaults to 'manual'. If I then execute the command 'cell 0 lte plmn select auto' network selection is auto and it quickly connects to the network appropriate to the sim card. Maybe I need to write something else to the modem??

Hello,

event manager applet RUN-ON-BOOT
event syslog pattern "SYS-5-RESTART"
event timer countdown time 240
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "cell 0 lte plmn select auto"

Hi and many thanks...  

Aren't sys-5-restart and countdown time mutually exclusive? When I add one, the other disappears!

Anyway, I'm just giving this a try.

If I wanted a second run on boot event, how would I code it?

Cheers!

Hello,

my bad. Use the script below. The maxrun must be longer than the wait time, since the default lifetime of an EEM applet is 20 seconds.

event manager applet RUN-ON-BOOT
event syslog pattern "SYS-5-RESTART" maxrun 300
action 1.0 wait 240
action 2.0 cli command "enable"
action 3.0 cli command "cell 0 lte plmn select auto"

Hello

Have you tired manually hardcoding the network?
example:
show cell 0 network < choose a network and then hardcode it manually or force it
cell 0 lte plmn select manual xxx xx lte
cell 0 lte plmn select force xxx xx lte

Hi Paul,

I was thinking of trying that next, but the script to set the network selection to auto - run two or three minutes after the router boots up - seems to work fine, and with (eg) a 3-UK sim, it connects to 3-UK fine with no intervention.

It's just annoying that it is necessary to do this - my EHWIC-4G-LTE card does not need this, and neither does my EHWIC-3G-HSPA+7

And actually neither does a 881G+7 HSPA+ router.

Oh well, it is a workaround!

Thanks and cheers, Bill
