DEVICE CONFIGURATION

Multi Carrier Firmware for Cellular Radio

This device uses a cellular radio with multi carrier firmware meaning that it can be used on different carrier
networks (not simultaneously). The cellular module in device supports use on AT&T/other, Verizon, T-Mobile, Bell,
and TELUS Networks.
Note: Device has been approved for use on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile networks.
To verify your device is configured for the desired network:
AT#FWSWITCH?
If response is:
#FWSWITCH: 0
AT&T/other networks
#FWSWITCH: 1
Verizon
#FWSWITCH: 2
T-Mobile
#FWSWITCH: 3
Bell
#FWSWITCH: 4
TELUS
To switch carrier networks:
From AT&T to Verizon:
AT#FWSWITCH=1,1,1
From Verizon to AT&T:
AT#FWSWITCH=0,1,1
Note: Switching profiles reboots the system.
Important: 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 the previous topic.
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"
