<p>Hi there, <br>
</p>
<p>I got a Telit LE910C1-EU attached to an embedded device, using
ModemManager 1.19.0 (main branch, 2 commits behind) and libmbim
1.27.3 (main branch, 1 commit behind). Linux Kernel is v5.12.<br>
</p>
<p>I was able connect successfully to an LTE network using both PPP
(USB profile 0x1201, 3 AT ports) and MBIM (USB profile 0x1252,
MBIM + 2AT ports). Both configurations seem to work -- I was able
to ping a server using those interfaces. <br>
</p>
<p>But there are some inconsistencies that I see:</p>
<ul>
<li>While PPP shows a signal quality of 85%, MBIM only shows
between 9 and 19 % signal quality. (When I use a AT+CSQ command
in MBIM mode, the result is 20 which is in the middle of the
range, so I that should be more than 20%)<br>
</li>
<li>While PPP does not show any sim lock, MBIM shows a SimPin2
lock (although we are connected). <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>So my question are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Is it normal / ok to see those inconsistencies?</li>
<li> Where do these inconsistencies come from? <br>
</li>
<li>Where to start looking to fix those inconsistencies?</li>
<li>Can I safely ignore the SimPin2 lock?</li>
<li>What limitations do I get when I use PPP instead MBIM?<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I have no experience with MBIM at all, so perhaps I got something
wrong completely?</p>
<p>BTW: I also tried RNDIS, but that is ignored by MM completely.
Instead, the AT ports are used for PPP connection. I assume there
is no support for RNDIS within the telit plugin?<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you in advanced, any help appreciated .... :-)<br>
