3g signal strength

Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:38 am

Ok, I have search mikrotik forum and also google. I am using 3g with USB Huawei modem on roterOS. Is it possible to read signal level even if I am using ppp over 3g modem? The problem is that I can't believe that such option is not implemented. The routers os 20$ can do that but Router OS cannot. Or I can't realize how to do that.

int ppp-client info PPP
working only when usb modem is not used for data

Please make sure 3G card info-channel uses different channel than data-channel.

Hello,
Mine runs this way
[engineer@centre] /interface ppp-client> info
number: ppp-out1
modem-status: call in progress
pin-status: no password required
functionality: full
manufacturer: huawei
model: E173

current-operator: 62160 (cellid unknown)
access-technology: GSM compact
signal-strengh: -61 dBm

But I have monitored it, yet it is still in GSM compact, how do i make the access technology change to 3G, because 3G is in that area.

The picture is attached in it.
