The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco 4G LTE-Advanced Configuration chapter has been replaced by a new standalone guide called Cellular Pluggable Interface Module Configuration Guide. This guide contains updated information on all aspects of using the Cisco Cellular PIM.
 Important |
The Pluggable Module is not hot swappable. The router must be reloaded after a new module is installed. |
Support for the P-5GS6-GL Pluggable Module works the same on the ESR6300 as it does on the other IoT Routers. For details, see 5G Sub-6 GHz Pluggable Interface Module and Cellular Pluggable Interface Module Configuration Guide.
With Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1a and earlier, the only GNSS constellation supported was GPS. This release introduces support for Galileo.
Note |
Only ONE constellation can be enabled at a time. |
There are new CLI options available to support the new constellation:
config# controller cellular <slot/port>
(config-controller)# <no> lte gps constellation <gps | galileo | gnss >
Example:
(config-controller)#lte gps constellation ?
galileo select Galileo as active constellation
gps select GPS as active constellation
gnss select multiple GNSS as active constellation
Note |
The default setting is gps mode. |
The new galileo and gnss options in the above CLI are used to configure Galileo and Multiple/Simultaneous GNSS (GPS + Galileo etc) respectively.
If you disable the GPS configuration, ensure there is no constellation configured, consistent with GPS mode configuration. For example:
config# controller Cellular 0/1/0
(config-controller)# no lte gps constellation gps
The following example shows the current GNSS constellation as Galileo:
#show cellular 0/1/0 gps detail
GPS Feature = enabled
GPS Mode Configured = standalone
Current Constellation Configured = galileo | gps | gnss
GPS Port Selected = Dedicated GPS port
GPS Status = GPS acquiring
Any changes made to the configuration will require the router to be rebooted.
More information is available in the Cellular Pluggable Interface Module Configuration Guide.
Cellular telemetry allows real-time monitoring and analysis of cellular connection performance through system logs. It helps with troubleshooting, optimizing network performance, and ensuring reliable connectivity. The cellular telemetry feature collects the Radio Frequency (RF) parameters and Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates from the cellular network and displays them at a fixed interval of 60 seconds.
The cellular telemetry parameters that can be monitored include:
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)
Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ)
Physical Cell Identity (PCI)
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates
The Cisco Catalyst WAN Manager does not support cellular telemetry.
To enable the cellular telemetry feature in the contoller cellular interface 0/x/0 using the CLI.
Insert the cellular Pluggable Interface Module (PIM) into the IR device.
Enable GPS in the controller for GPS coordinates to be displayed in syslogs.

Step 1 |
Enter the global configuration mode. Example: |
|
Step 2 |
Enter the cellular configuration mode. Example: |
|
Step 3 |
Enable the RF parameters and GPS coordinates. Example: |
To disable the cellular telemetry feature, use the no form of the lte modem serviceability signal-parameters command, as shown in the example:
Router#Configure terminal
Router(config)#controller cellular 0/1/0
Router(config-controller)#no lte modem serviceability signal-parameters
Router(config-controller)#endTo view the RF parameters and GPS coordinates for the cellular interfaces, you can either use the show logging command or check the console output.
The following example displays RF parameters and GPS coordinates at every one minute interval:
