i have two sim cards in my ltAP and want to change the card in winbox from remote.
They both have different APNs .. how can i assign the correct APN to SIM Slot up and down ?
is this possible ?

Re: ltAp .. assign APN to Sim Slot ... howto ?
I do this with script . create APN profile for each SIM and the script would swap slot as well as assign correct APN .
otherwise , as soon as you change one of them remotely, you have no Internet.

Re: ltAp .. assign APN to Sim Slot ... howto ?
this is the script I use to swap SIM when the internet is down, sort of fail-over.
as you can see I already set up two APN profile
Code: Select all
#get SIM info and swap
:local sim
set $sim [/system routerboard modem get sim-slot];
:if ($sim = "a") do={
:log warning "SIM A is active, now switching to B";
/interface set lte1 disabled=no;
:delay 1;
/interface lte set apn-profiles=Vodafone numbers=0;
/system routerboard modem set sim-slot=b;
} else={
:log warning "SIM B is active, now switching to A";
/interface set lte1 disabled=no;
:delay 1;
/interface lte set apn-profiles=default numbers=0;
/system routerboard modem set sim-slot=a;

looks perfect....
but where is the query if the internet is down or not ?

i use netwatch, so if a ping to external IP address, say 8.8.8.8, is more than 100ms, I swap SIM.
I set the interval to 30 minutes but you can set it how you like it, just remember the swap itself would take few minutes, depending how quickly the other SIM can register on the network,
so you don't want to keep swapping when the LTE is actually trying to register to the network.

great idea
you put the "swap code" in the "DOWN" tab ?

Re: ltAp .. assign APN to Sim Slot ... howto ?
Code: Select all
/tool netwatch
add down-script=":log warning \" Internet Down swapSIM\";\r\
\n/system script run swapSIM;\r\
\n" host=8.8.8.8 interval=30m timeout=2s up-script=":log warning \" Internet Up \";"
I find it more manageable this way, instead of dump all the script into netwatch.

Glad to help.
Re: ltAp .. assign APN to Sim Slot ... howto ?
one final question ......
my main sim card disconnects and connects every 12 hours (due to billing information) ... how can i prevent the SWAP to the other sim card in this case ?

human, you want them all do you? 
unless you know exactly when it will be disconnected, there is always a chance the swap will be triggered by this disconnection.
you can add another script, check which slot is active and force the system to use your main SIM, run this every 12 hours.
again, plan the timing right so this action does not happen when the swapSIM is checking your connection.
