The following instructions will help you prepare your Tektelic Azure gateway for use with a T-Mobile SIM card.
Step 1
-SSH into gateway:
Gateway must be Ensure that the gateway is connected via ethernet (or for a cellular/remote ethernet connection, use the internal command line tool to access the gateway, reach out to Jake Burhenn or Mo Bayaa for access).
Use -SSH into gateway using the gateway's local IP address to connect to it via SSH::
| Code Block |
|---|
root@IP_OF_GATEWAY |
For example, if the gateway’s local IP is 192.168.2.100, you would type: root@192.168.2.100
Password: Serial number of the gateway, located on the bottom of the gateway
Step 2
...
Once SSH'd into the gateway, check run the following commands to query the status of the gateway :
Run these commands (queries the current BSP version, current firmware version, and current APN, curent current Chirpstack version, and current DPS version):
| Code Block |
|---|
system_version |
...
konaLTEmodem.py -c "at!gobiimpref?" |
...
konaLTEmodem.py -c "AT+CGDCONT?" |
...
/opt/chirpstack-gateway-bridge/chirpstack-gateway-bridge version |
...
/opt/mydevices/dps-client -v |
Step 3
...
If BSP version is 3.0.4 or higher, go to step 5, otherwise continue to step 4
Step 4
...
If BSP version is less than 3.0.4, run these commands (takes 20 minutes to update after the last command is issued):
| Code Block |
|---|
rm /lib/firmware/* |
...
mkdir /dev/fw304 |
...
cd /dev/fw304 |
...
curl https://myd-rnd-static.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/vendor/tektelic/ipk.tar.gz > /dev/fw304/ipk.tar.gz |
...
tar -xf ipk.tar.gz |
...
mv ipk /lib/firmware |
...
rm ipk.tar.gz |
...
mv network-monitor.conf /opt/network-monitor-db |
...
mv interface_priority_file /opt/network-monitor-db |
...
mv tektelic-lab-feed.conf /etc/opkg/ |
...
opkg update |
...
tektelic-dist-upgrade -Duf |
After 20 minutes, SSH back into the gateway and run the following command to confirm that the gateway is on BSP version 3.0.4:
| Code Block |
|---|
system_version |
Step 5
...
If the current firmware is listed as "Generic", run the following commands to remove any APNs, then skip to step 7, otherwise continue to step 6:
| Code Block |
|---|
konaLTEmodem.py -c 'at+cgdcont=1' |
...
tektelic_reset |
Step 6
...
If the current firmware is not listed as "Generic", run these commands to download the Generic firmware files needed for compatibility with T-Mobile:
Command 1:
| Code Block |
|---|
curl https://hwdartifacts.blob.core.windows.net/hwdassets/SWI9X30C_02.38.00.00_GENERIC_002.082_000.nvu > /dev/shm/SWI9X30C_02.38.00.00_GENERIC_002.082_000.nvu |
Command 2:
| Code Block |
|---|
curl https://hwdartifacts.blob.core.windows.net/hwdassets/SWI9X30C_02.38.00.00.cwe > /dev/shm/SWI9X30C_02.38.00.00.cwe |
Command 3:
| Code Block |
|---|
/opt/Sierra/LteModemFW/lte-fw-download-script.sh generic /dev/shm/ |
Installation will take approximately 6 or 7 minutes.
Step 7
...
If the current Chirpstack version listed is less than 3.13.3-r1, run the following commands, otherwise proceed to step 8:
Command 1:
| Code Block |
|---|
curl https://hwdartifacts.blob.core.windows.net/hwdassets/chirpstack-gateway-bridge_3.13.3-r1_kona.ipk > /home/root/chirpstack-gateway-bridge_3.13.3-r1_kona.ipk |
Command 2:
| Code Block |
|---|
opkg install chirpstack-gateway-bridge_3.13.3-r1_kona.ipk |
Step 8
...
If the current DPS version listed is less than 1.3.1-r0, run these commands, otherwise proceed to step 9:
Command 1:
| Code Block |
|---|
curl https://hwdartifacts.blob.core.windows.net/hwdassets/dps-client_1.3.1-r0_kona.ipk > /home/root/dps-client_1.3.1-r0_kona.ipk |
Command 2:
| Code Block |
|---|
opkg install dps-client_1.3.1-r0_kona.ipk |
Step 9
...
Wait 5 minutes, remove battery and power source, remove the old Sprint SIM card, insert the new T-Mobile SIM card, and reconnect the battery and power source.
