Troubleshooting Cell Hub models 44, 46 and 50
NOTE : this procedure applies only to the "old" hubs models 44, 46 and 50.
Those hubs are not available trough the Broodminder Bees app. You will need to install Broodminder Cell App Android, iOs to manage the settings
Install SIM
Here are the steps to install SIM
- unplug the 3G Card
- open the shield : slide it up through the antenna with the thumb then pull up to leave it
-
introduce SIM in the right position
-
pull down and slide down to lock
Typical startup
Switch on the hub, you should see : At startup after switching on you should see
- Led D1 (orange) blinking several times
- Led PWR1 (green) on
- Led STAT (yellow) on
- then after a while, when it has established connectionto the network => all leds off
Note that for every time you’ll go with the Cell app to Configure > Diagnostics > Cell network
you should see the PWR1 green led lighting on
Cell network connection
It can happen that your hub finds out 3G network but it is not able to acquire cervice.
To find out what is wrong first of all check your APN code
Check you have the right APN
Every SIM provider has its own APN (Access Point Name) it can be hologram, matooma.m2m, etc...
Go to Configure > Diagnostics > Cell network > Custom APN
Check modem communication and trace
Just after switching on the hub, go quick to Configure > Diagnostics > Modem communication
There you can follow the connection process. Let it run until it stops and then copy this output and send it to support
