AmariSoft LTE

Prerequisites

This tutorial series assumes you have an ​ORBIT account, have ​scheduled a session on the ORBIT testbed, are familiar with ​SSH'ing into the testbed itself, and are familiar with the ​basics of running ORBIT experiments. If you have not done these things yet, you may wish to do so before taking a look at this slightly more advanced experiment. If you are unfamiliar with or are entirely new to ORBIT, you may wish to start ​here.

The image used for this experiment is 'baseline.ndz'. In this tutorial we will use nodes equipped with Netgear AC341u LTE dongles. The basestation is Amarisoft running on Bsc03out.

You will run the following commands on node7-1.grid.orbit-lab.org After connecting to the grid console:

1. omf load -i baseline.ndz -t node7-1.grid.orbit-lab.org
2. ssh root@node7-1.grid.orbit-lab.org
3. modprobe GobiSerial
4. modprobe GobiNet
5. minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1
6. AT!ippassthrough?
   1. It should return 1
   2. If it does not, run AT!ippassthrough=1 then AT!reset
7. AT!entercnd="A710"
   1. You should see OK
8. AT!dxcfg=wwan,connect,11
   1. You should see OK then $QCRMCALL: 1, V4
9. at!gstatus?
   1. Will return a status like:

      at!gstatus?                                                                                                         
      !GSTATUS: 
      Current Time:  10049            Temperature: 42
      Bootup Time:   0                Mode:        ONLINE         
      System mode:   LTE              PS state:    Attached     
      LTE band:      B25              LTE bw:      10 MHz  
      LTE Rx chan:   8365             LTE Tx chan: 26365
      EMM state:     Registered       Normal Service 
      RRC state:     RRC Connected  
      IMS reg state: No Srv  
      
      RSSI (dBm):    -83              Tx Power:    0
      RSRP (dBm):    -117             TAC:         0001 (1)
      RSRQ (dB):     -10              Cell ID:     01A2D001 (27447297)
      SINR (dB):      1.6
      

10. Exit Minicom by pressing Ctrl+A and then x, then enter to select ok.
11. Run dhcpcd eth2 and the enter to get a new line.
    1. You should get an address in the 192.168.3.0/24 subnet.
12. Ping 192.168.3.1
    1. You have successfully communicated with the basestation.
13. iperf -c 192.168.3.1
    1. This will report your bandwidth to the basestation.
