System Model Information and Capability

This page is not about testing anything. This is more of information purpose. The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how you can figure out the model of your system and how to find more detailed information/capabilities of the model.

NOTE : Some users report problems which is caused not by configuration file but by the limitation of the model. So it is always worth checking this first when you come across some issues and not sure of obvious cause (e.g, error message showing up due to configuration fault)

Common examples for this case are

Trying to multi cell test with Callbox Mini which support only one cell
Trying to achieve the maximum throughput that is not supported by the model
Trying to configure MIMO which are not supported by the model

Finding Model Name

There are multiple different ways to figure out model name

Command Prompt

The easiest way to figure it out is to check the command prompt. The command prompt shows the acronyms for the model name as shown below.

[root@CBC-2023010100 ~]#

Hostname file

Check out the contents of hostname file by running 'cat /etc/.amarisoft-product/hostname' and you will get the result like this

[root@CBC-2023010100 ~]# cat /etc/.amarisoft-product/hostname

CBC-2023010100

lte log

You can find more detailed information from lte.log. run 'nano /tmp/lte.log and find the information as shown below.

Finding License Capability

The capability of a system is capped not only by the model but also by License type as well. For the capability of each license type, refer to this document.
