Changing the GSM/3G/LTE mode on Huawei USB modems

KeeneticOS can lock 2G (GSM), 3G (UMTS) or 4G (LTE) network mode for Huawei USB modems.

The setting is accessible through the command-line interface (CLI) of the router with the command:

interface <interface_name> usb acq gsm/umts/lte

This command is applicable for Huawei modems operating in RAS/NDIS mode.

To work in the 2G (GSM) network only, you need to execute commands:

(config)> interface UsbLte0
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config-if)> usb acq gsm
Network::Interface::Usb: "UsbLte0": ACQ saved.
(config-if)> exit
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config)> system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...

To apply the 3G (UMTS) network:

(config)> interface UsbLte0
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config-if)> usb acq umts
Network::Interface::Usb: "UsbLte0": ACQ saved.
(config-if)> exit
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config)> system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...

To apply the 4G (LTE) network:

(config)> interface UsbLte0
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config-if)> usb acq lte
Network::Interface::Usb: "UsbLte0": ACQ saved.
(config-if)> exit
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config)> system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...

To delete a setting, follow the commands (example for a 4G network):

(config)> interface UsbLte0
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config-if)> no usb acq
Network::Interface::Usb: "UsbLte0": ACQ cleared.
(config-if)> exit
Core::Configurator: Done.
(config)> system configuration save
Core::ConfigurationSaver: Saving configuration...

Pay attention to the interface names. It is necessary to consider a letter case when using interface names in commands. For example, the interface names UsbModem0 and UsbLte0 contain both capital and lowercase letters.
