Dual Carrier Firmware For Cellular Radio; Adding Apn Value - Multitech MultiConnect microCell User Manual

CONFIGURING AND COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR DEVICE

Dual Carrier Firmware for Cellular Radio

This device uses a cellular radio with dual carrier firmware meaning that it can be used on different carrier
networks (not simultaneously). The device can be used on either the Verizon or AT&T/other networks.
To check that your device is configured for the desired network:
AT#FWSWITCH?
If response is:
#FWSWITCH: 0
The device is configured for AT&T/other networks.
If response is:
#FWSWITCH: 1
The device is configured for Verizon.
To switch carrier networks:
From AT&T to Verizon:
AT#FWSWITCH=1,1
From Verizon to AT&T:
AT#FWSWITCH=0,1
Note: For the Link status (LS) LED to function, you must issue the command AT#GPIO=1,0,2 any time you use
the firmware switch command (AT#FWSWITCH=0 or AT#FWSWITCH=1).

Adding APN value

After properly setting up your account with your carrier and activating and installing your SIM card, you need to
add your carrier's APN (Access Point Name) into the device before the cellular modem is ready for use.
To add your APN value:
1. Establish a terminal session with the device. If Verizon is your carrier, configure the device for the Verizon
network as described in Dual Carrier Firmware for Cellular Radio.
2. If you are not on the Verizon network, program your network provider's Access Point Name (APN) into
the device. To do this, issue:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","APN_Name"
(where APN_Name is the APN provided by your wireless carrier).
Your device should now be activated on the carrier's network and ready for use. To check operation issue the
command: AT+CEREG? The modem should respond with +CEREG: 0,1 showing registration.
16
Your wireless carrier assigns the APN. If you don't know the APN, contact your wireless carrier.
