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

1. unplug the 3G Card
2. open the shield : slide it up through the antenna with the thumb then pull up to leave it

3. introduce SIM in the right position

4. 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

This is a typical startup trace :
