Cannot get network.Cellular.scan to work

XBee & XBee Gateway XBee Micropython & IDE plugin

I have a working application written in MicroPython and running on a Digi XBee 3 Global and Low-Power LTE-M/NB-IoT. I am trying to get the network scan command to work and am failing. The code looks like the following:

def query_scan_commands():
    try:
        new_Ascan = network.Cellular.scan(None,'*', False)#callback=None, *, deep=False
        util.debug_print('[query_scan_commands 0] - Active Scan (AS) {}'.format(new_Ascan))       
    except Exception as e:
        util.debug_print('[query_scan_commands EXCEPTION 1] - error is '.format(e))

It fails but shows no error, I am sure the exception i used was incorrect. Has anyone got this working before? I also tried to get country out of it from an exampe i found but it does not work either:

country = network.country()
        util.debug_print("[NETWORK]-Country: {}".format(country))

This results in a ‘module country does not exist’ error
I can connect to cellular no problem, query if i am connected, grab signal values using new_ATDB = network.Cellular().signal() and that works correct.

Any help would be appreciated

The AS command reports values in the following format:
MCC: MNC: Area: CID: Signal:-95 ARFCN: PCID: RSRQ: TA:

Note that I have left out the values reported. You need to adjust your code so that it can decode the above. Note that the module will not know what the MCC and MNC values are located. You will need to have a way to query these values after to determine what country you are in.

I would also suggest looking at Digi MicroPython Programming Guide. From the looks of it, you may not be making the proper call to get the MCC or MNC values.
