Troubleshooting
Opening the AT Command Terminal

- Run PuTTY as root
- Set the options shown
- Select the serial option
- Change the COM device to ttyUSB2
- Click on default settings
- Click Save
- Click open
This configures PuTTY to automatically choose the correct options next time it is run.
- Begin by typing ATE1 and pressing enter. The terminal should respond with OK. This indicates the modem is ready for commands.
- The first item to check is the firmware setting. It should be set to GENERIC for UROS.
at!impref?
- In the example above, the generic firmware is loaded. If carrier specific firmware is listed there, generic needs to be loaded instead
- Run the following commands and then reboot the system:
at!impref=”GENERIC”
at!reset
Connection shows “Turned Off”
- Open Putty and run the following 2 commands. This should force the modem into an online state.
AT+CFUN=0
AT+CFUN=1SIM Troubleshooting
