Cellular Pluggable Interface Module Configuration Guide

Overview

The P-LTE-450 is a 450 MHz Category-4 LTE PIM, which addresses LTE use cases primarily targeting Utility, public safety and critical infrastructure maintained by public organizations in Europe and other world regions. The module supports only LTE 450MHz networks with a bandwidth of 1.4, 3, and 5 MHz. Support for the module is available with Cisco IOS XE release 17.12.1.

Note

Throughout the documentation, you will see the module referred to as P-LTE-450, which is the Cisco product name. The module is by Intelliport, which refers to it as the IPS-701. Both names will be present in documentation.

Unlike regular LTE modules, there are some differences with regards to the P-LTE-450 MHz on IOS-XE platform. Some of the key differences are:

IP pass through will be on the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces rather than the cellular interface.
Minimum P-LTE-450 cellular configuration may be done through Cisco IOS-XE config mode under Gigabit Ethernet 0/x/0 interface through lte 450 xxx commands.
Troubleshooting commands are from the IPS-701 web interface from Intelliport.

See the Intelliport product website for more information.

For additional information, see the LTE 450 MHz Alliance.

P-LTE-450 Hardware Features Overview

The P-LTE-450 Pluggable Interface Module offers the following features:

Available only on the IR1101 with Cisco IOS XE release 17.12.1 and later.
LTE 450 MHz band 31 and 72 with supported bandwidths of 1.4, 3, and 5 MHz only. For modem details see UNI450 ML620EU modem.
The P-LTE-450 can be installed in the IR1101 Base or in the IRM-1100 Expansion Module attached through the Compute module slot (bottom side of the IR1101 Base). The IRM-1100 Expansion Module can NOT be installed on the Expansion module side (top side of the IR1101 Base). See the following figure that shows the Expansion and Compute Module locations.
One SIM card – 3FF format.

Thermal Considerations

The host router and the P-LTE-450 module is able to boot up and operate at a lower temperature than the radio module on the P-LTE-450. The radio module will not operate at a temperature below -30° C (-22° F).

P-LTE-450 Software Features Overview

The P-LTE-450 Pluggable Interface Module offers the following features:

Joint development by Cisco (IOS XE software) and Intelliport (Modem firmware).
The P-LTE-450 requires Network Advantage license to be recognized under Cisco IOS-XE. Refer to the Smart Licensing Using Policy (SLP).

The P-LTE-450 acts similarly to the Catalyst Cellular Gateway.

The modem is an IP passthrough for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

The management interface, GigabitEthernet 0/1/0 (Base chassis), or GigabitEthernet 0/4/0 (Expansion Module), must be configured under Cisco IOS-XE.

Note

The configuration CLI applicable to the LTE-450 is under this interface.

Data traffic passes through GigabitEthernet 0/1/0.n or GigabitEthernet 0/4/0.n.

The P-LTE-450 is managed by a Web User Interface (WebUI) designed by Intelliport. Access to the Intelliport WebUI is gained through the Cisco WebUI. Requires IP routing for the management IP subnet.
GPS details will be shown only on the Intelliport modem IPS701 WebUI, not the IOS XE CLI.
Supports Multi PDN; each PDN is associated with the GigabitEthernet 0/x/0.n sub-interface.

The Intelliport Web User Interface is referred to as IPS701. This WebUI controls all configuration of the Pluggable Interface.

LTE 450 MHz Details

Channel bandwidth is variable at 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, and 5 MHz . The maximum achievable is:

Bandwidth => 5 MHz
UL => 12.5 Mbps
DL => 37.5 Mbps

Additional information available at the LTE 450 MHz Alliance.

Gigabit Ethernet Configuration for the P-LTE-450

The router needs to have a basic Ethernet configuration in order for the P-LTE-450 to work. The Gigabit Ethernet 0/x/0 interface and the Gigabit Ethernet 0/x/0.x sub-interface need to be configured. There must be one sub-interface per PDN. The P-LTE-450 supports up to three PDNs, each on a different sub-interface.

The following are the requirements:

Gigabit Ethernet 0/x/0 interface is used for management of the P-LTE-450.
- IPv4 address is learnt through DHCP, IPv6 address learnt through stateless autoconfiguration from the P-LTE-450.
Gigabit Ethernet 0/x/0.x sub-interface get its IP address from the Cellular network, once a SIM card is installed and Cellular attachment is done.
- LTE 450 MHz PIM acts as IP passthrough.
- NAT rules to be properly defined according to the network.
Default IP route to be configured according to the network.
Dot1Q Encapsulation for sub-interface.
NTP must be configured, enabling the P-LTE-450 to sync-up its clock with the router.

The following is an example of the minimum configuration needed:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0
 description Management Interface
 ip dhcp client lease 0 0 2
 ip address dhcp
 ip nat inside
 negotiation auto
 ipv6 address dhcp
 ipv6 enable
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1

ntp master

Configuring the Router Interface for the P-LTE-450 Module

LTE 450 MHz network IP pass through will be on the physical interface that is enumerated based on where module is connected, and address allocation is accomplished using DHCP either on IPv4 or IPv6. To connect to web-interface of P-LTE-450 MHz PIM module, need to have a sub-interface associated to the main physical interface with encapsulation dot1q.

The following steps are needed to configure the router to accept the P-LTE-450 Module. The module configuration can only be accomplished through the Intelliport WebUI.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: `Router> enable Router#`	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: `Router> configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#`	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 3	interface GigabitEthernet <slot> Example: `Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0 Router(config-if)#`	Enter interface configuration mode either 0/1/0 or 0/4/0 based on connection.

Step 7	ipv6 enable Example: `Router(config-if)#ipv6 enable Router(config-if)#`	Enable IPv6 configuration for interface level.
Step 8	no shutdown Example: `Router(config-if)#no shutdown Router(config-if)#`	Remove “admin” shutdown on the interface.

Configuring the Router Sub-Interface for the P-LTE-450 Module

The following is an example of the sub-interface configuration to connect to WebUI of third party PIM module.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: `Router> enable Router#`	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: `Router> configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#`	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 3	ipv6 unicast-routing Example: `Router(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing Router(config)#`	IPv6 unicast-routing to be enabled.
Step 4	interface GigabitEthernet`<slot>` Example: `Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1 Router(config-if)#`	Creates a sub-interface associated to physical interface.
Step 5	Encapsulation dot1q `<VLAN_ID>` Example: `Router(config-if)#encapsulation dot1q 2 Router(config-if)#`	Enables encapsulation VLAN ID for the sub-interface.
Step 6	ip address dhcp Example: `Router(config-if)#ip address dhcp Router(config-if)#`	Obtains the cellular network IP address.

Step 8	no shutdown Example: `Router(config-if)#no shutdown Router(config-if)#`	Remove “admin” shutdown on the interface.

Configuration Example

The following is a configuration example on the IR1101 Base unit.

Router#show running-config interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 105 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0
ip address dhcp
negotiation auto
ipv6 address dhcp
ipv6 enable
end

Router#show running-config interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0.1
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 112 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0.1
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address dhcp
ipv6 address dhcp
ipv6 enable
end

# No VLAN 2 required for dot1q 2 above

Note

The default WebUI IP address can only be changed through the WebUI once the initial configuration is done, since you need IP access to the module.

Example Topology

The WebUI connection for the P-LTE-450 MHz module can be dependent on network topology based on the following diagram:

Figure 3. WebUI Connection for P-LTE-450 MHz Module Topology

Refer to the following table for details on the topology.


1	The GI 0/1/0 (or GI0/4/0) interface is used for management. It communicates between IOS XE and the P-LTE-450.
2	The IP address from the cellular network is passed through from the modem to GI0/1/0.n subinterface. There is one per active PDN.
3	GI0/1/0.1 Cellular interface PDN1. The LTE450MHz carrier assigns an IP address to the LTE 450 modem that is passed through to GI0/1/0.1 sub-interface.
4	P-LTE450 WebUI access: 1 ping 192.168.200.1 2 open WebUI

These are the possible connections:

Connection using Local-PC
Connection using Remote-PC

With connection using Local-PC (1), there is no need for ip nat configuration.

With connection using Remote-PC (2), nat configuration is required based on the network topology.

In either case, you enter the URL of the Management IP address for the P-LTE-450 MHz module (192.168.200.1 is the default) or re-direct to the IP address from the Cisco WebUI.

Configuring Minimum P-LTE-450 Parameters through Cisco IOS-XE

There is an IOS-XE configuration command line under the Gigabit Ethernet 0/x/0 interface that provides a subset of LTE 450 configuration that allows a management solution to set template.

This subset includes the following:

Band
DHCP default gateway
Profile (including the following)
- APN
- Mode
- Authentication
- VLAN

The following are command examples:

IR1101#conf term

Managing the P-LTE-450 Through the WebUI

The P-LTE-450 is managed by the Web User Interface designed by Intelliport. Access to the Intelliport WebUI is gained through the Cisco WebUI.

Cisco WebUI to Intelliport WebUI Redirection

Launch the Cisco WebUI and log in with your IOS XE credentials (privilege 15).

Click on LTE 450 MHz PIM along the left side. The Redirect window appears.

Enter the IP address of the LTE PIM. This address must be pingable by your laptop. Then click REDIRECT NOW. The Intelliport WebUI, referred to as the IPS701, landing page appears.

IPS701 WebUI Landing Page

The landing page shows all of the status information as well as radio signal graphs.

To log into the WebUI as Administrator, click on the ADMIN button on the top right corner.

Log in with the default credentials:

Username — admin
Password — admin

Note

Changing the default credentials is not supported for the current release of firmware from IPS701.

Then click on SUBMIT.

Configuring the IPS701

The Intelliport WebUI (IPS-701) appears when you log in as admin.

Click on the Settings tab to set the IPS701 parameters.

The following settings apply:


1	Select APN and enter an APN name.
2	Select IPv4, IPv6, or both.
3	Select Authentication. PAP, CHAP, or None.
4	Modem Manager debug level: 1 — error 2 — debug 3 — info
5	Select LTE 450 MHz band B31 or B72.
6	IPv4 and IPv6 address and subnet for Management.
7	Click SAVE to save the configuration. Reboot the P-LTE-450.

Note

Settings will be applied after saving the configuration, however, you must do an additional shut and no shut on the physical interface on the router.

Other Functions

If new IPS701 firmware becomes available, it can be upgraded from the IPS701 WebUI. Click on the Firmware upgrade tab.

Choose the appropriate PIM or Modem firmware and upload it. Once the new firmware is uploaded click on the UPGRADE button.

The Reboot option in the IPS701 WebUI reloads the modem (not the PIM in IOS XE).

The P-LTE-450 module can also be rebooted through Cisco IOS-XE by performing a power-cycle of the module. Use the hw-module subslot <slot> shutdown unpowered command.

IR1101#conf term
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
IR1101(config)#hw-module subslot 0/1 shutdown unpowered
IR1101(config)#no hw-module subslot 0/1 shutdown unpowered

If the IPS701 needs to be reset to factory defaults, it should be done through the WebUI.

Enter the admin password and then click FACTORY RESET.

Additional CLI Support for the P-LTE-450

Management of the module is from a WebUI by Intelliport, which refers to it as the IPS-701. There is a subset of CLI commands available that are in the IPS-701 WebUI..

P-LTE-450 Monitoring

The CLI will show the module status information which is available from the IPS-701 WebUI minus the signal radio graphs.

The show commands will either display all sections or based on the qualifier matching each section.

Configuration options are shown by the lte450 ? command.

Router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
(config-if)#lte450 ?
band                  select band <31|72>
dhcp_default_gateway  select <Assign|Don't assign>
profile               LTE Profile management commands

The following are examples of the CLI options.

Table 1. CLI Options for Band and DHCP Default Gateway
Option	Command	Purpose
Band	lte450 band `<31 \| 72>`	Assigns the modem band.
DHCP Default Gateway	lte450 dhcp_default_gateway `<assign \| dont-assign>`	Assigns/Unassigns DHCP default gateway.

CLI options for the APN Profile are broken down in the following table:

Table 2. CLI Options for APN Profile
Profile Parameter	Command	Options
APN Name	lte450 profile id `<1-3>` apn `<apn-name>`	Assigns a name to the apn belonging to a particular profile. <1-3> Profile number <apn-name> Name of access point
Authentication	lte450 profile id `<1-3>` authentication `<chap \| none \| pap>` username `<Username>` password `<Password>`	Specifies the type of authentication to be used for a particular profile. If the authentication type is chap/pap, username and password fields will be required. If the authentication type is none, username and password fields will not be required. <chap> CHAP authentication only <none> No authentication <pap> PAP authentication only
IP Mode	lte450 profile id `<1-3>` pdn-type `<ipv4/ipv4v6/ipv6>`	Specifies the IP mode for a particular profile. <ipv4> IPv4 type bearer <ipv4v6> IPV4V6 type bearer <ipv6> IPV6 type bearer
VLAN	lte450 profile id `<1-3>` vlan `<1-4094> <disable \| enable>`	VLAN: Assigns a VLAN ID to a particular lte bridge profile. <1-4094> ltebridge profile VLAN ID

Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting with a private LTE Network, the router software configuration is limited. In order to troubleshoot the module, you need to download a log from the IPS-701 module for third party evaluate of the state of the connection.

In order to download the log from the IPS-701 webpage, navigate to the Settings tab. Click on DOWNLOAD LOG. If you want to increase the logging buffer you can do the same on the webpage.

Refer to the following:

To reload the module, use the hw-module sublot <slot> command with reload option:

Router#hw-module subslot 0/1 ?
maintenance Maintenance mode
oir Spa OIR
reload Restart the target subslot
start Activate the target subslot
stop Deactivate the target subslot

Router#hw-module subslot 0/1 reload
