nRF 9160 Asset Tracker. Not registered, but UE is currently trying to attach or searching an operator to register to.

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to connect my nRF 9160 DK and Thingy:91 to TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) CAT-NB1 network provider from Brazil. I am using the Asset Tracker and mfw_nrf9160_1.1.1 modem firmware.

 

AT commands to attach the network:

AT%XBANDLOCK=1,"1000000000000000000000000100" -> B3 (1800MHz) e B28 (700MHz)

AT%XSYSTEMMODE=0,1,1,0 -> sets Cat-NB1 and GNSS as the system modes. No preferred mode set

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","nbiot" -> IPv4 and APN configuration

AT+COPS=1,2,"72402",9 -> PLMN configuration

 

It looks like I am unable to register to the network. I tested with the iBasis chip and works well and connect to nrfcloud but when i try to connect to my provider i have no success.

 

I am attaching the screenshot of the LTE Link Monitor and the log file.

 

Can anyone help me to discover my mistake?
