There is an issue with FortiExtender-211E: it lost connection with any SIM inserted, and no Internet access is available. The workaround is to reboot the FortiExtender which can potentially work, but in some cases, this is not enough. The state connection is CONN_STATE_START_SESSION and the reg status ON ROAMING is present at all times:
FX211E # get modem status Modem status: modem : Modem1 usb path : 2-1.2 (sdk 0) vender : Sierra Wireless, Incorporated product : Sierra Wireless, Incorporated model : EM7565 SIM slot : SIM1 revision : SWI9X50C_01.14.13.00 883709 jenkins 2022/01/05 07:08:35 pin status : disable pin code : N/A carrier : Generic APN : N/A service : N/A phone number : N/A sim pin (sim1) : 3 attempts left sim puk (sim1) : 10 attempts left rssi (dBm) : N/A signal_strength : 0 plan_name : N/A connect_status : CONN_STATE_START_SESSION reconnect count : 0 up time (sec) : 6476 temperature : 46 Celsius PS state : PS_Detached [profile 1] reg status : ON ROAMING Latitude : N/A Longitude : N/A
To fix this misbehavior, it is necessary to install v7.4.3 and the modem firmware FEM_12-22.1.1-build0001-WRLD.out. Now the result is a successful connection:
