Smart SAM4Q User Guide V1.1 8 The Smart SAM4Q TCP/IP Operation The Smart SAM4Q has an MCU (Microcontroller) to control the LTE module EC21. The Smart SAM4Q can be operating in three different modes, defined by the parameter SAMMODE: -SAMMODE=0. The modem is in standard mode. When powered on, the MCU turns on the LTE module, checks its baud rate, turns on the LED and releases control of the LTE module to the connecting device.
