7.5.1 Overview
The
Scan Mode / Cell Selection
setting has to do with how the CPE selects the best wireless signal
between it and an eNB for its connection to the LTE network. The setting determines which frequencies
the CPE’s routine scan of available frequencies will cover.
Scanning is a process of tuning to specific frequencies and using a simple measure of signal quality to
select the best cell (eNB) with which to communicate. It is a routine background function that occurs
regularly to ensure the CPE is using the best available signal. There are four different scanning options, as
shown in Figure 34 and described below.

Full Band
– Default setting. The CPE will routinely scan all channels in the band, which can make
the time it takes to connect to the network longer than the other modes. The band is dependent
on the CPE model.
