Check W-Wan Signal Strength - Digi Transport WR11 Manual

7 CHECK W-WAN SIGNAL STRENGTH

Whilst the internet link is still connected from step 5, access the CLI (Command Line Interface)
Access to the CLI (Command Line Interface) – this can be achieved:
 Via a telnet or SSH connection
 Via the "execute a command" page of the web user interface.
And issue the following command:
modemstat ?
Check that the signal strength is roughly what you normally get (+/- 10dB) with the same antenna in
the test location.
If the signal strength is much worse than normal, make a note of the cell ID (lac:00DF ci:01B0BD51 in
above example) and repeat the test on a known working WR11 that contains the same type of radio
module in the same location. Ensure the known working WR11 is connected using the same antenna
and connects to the same cell ID (lac:00DF ci:01B0BD51 in above example). If it does and the signal
strength is much better (+ 10dB) than the suspected bad router, request an RMA from Digi technical
support with code: "Cellular signal strength low"
