Description This article describes the initial troubleshooting commands when modem detection failed.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

Modem detection issues might occur due to various factors, which can be resolved through LTE modem's cold reboot ('execute lte-modem cold-reboot') and will not lead to a FortiGate restart. If issues persist, try to enable sim-hot-swap as shown below:

 

config system lte-modem

    set sim-hot-swap enable

end

 

The following are the troubleshooting commands that should be sent if the ticket needs to be opened related to modem detection issue:

 

get system status

get system performance status

get hardware status

execute sensor list

fnsysctl ifconfig wwan

show full system lte-modem

diagnose hardware sysinfo memory

diagnose sys session stat

diagnose sys lte-modem modem-details

diagnose sys lte-modem sim-info
diagnose sys lte-modem signal
diagnose sys lte-modem data-usage
diagnose sys lte-modem data-session

diagnose sys lte-modem data-session-info

execute lte-modem wireless-profile list

diagnose test application lted 5
diagnose test application lted 3 <----- Test connection.
diagnose test application lted 4 <-----Test disconnection.
diagnose test application lted 3
diagnose test application lted 19
diagnose test application lted 20
diagnose test application lted 8

diagnose debug crashlog read

diagnose debug reset

diagnose debug enable

diagnose debug application lted -1 

 

Wait for at least 5 minutes and reboot the modem.

 

execute lte-modem cold-reboot

 

Collect the crashlog as well, disable the debugging, and attach the debug output to the ticket.

 

diagnose debug crashlog read

diagnose debug reset

 

Enable LTE Debugging. To gather more detailed information for troubleshooting, enable LTE debugging using the following commands:

 

diagnose debug disable
diagnose debug reset
diagnose debug console time enable
diagnose debug application lted -1
diagnose debug enable
