This chapter details on using the UART signals of the B2B connector rather than the Micro USB port to control VT-MOB-LTE1T-PB (the “cellular card”), and this setup is referred to as the UART DTU mode. Since the AT commands are transmitted between the cellular card and the host computer via the UART signals, the port using such signals is called the serial AT port.
☆ Set the firmware ready for Verizon SIM cards if needed AT#FWSWITCH=1 ☆ Set the firmware ready for other SIM cards if needed AT#FWSWITCH=0 Wait about 5 seconds for the reboot of the LTE modem after the modification Vantron | Public VT-MOB-LTE1T-PB UM (UART DTU Mode) www.vantrontech.com...

Otherwise, the SIM card is not registered with the operator’s network. If needed, query again after waiting up to 300 seconds, or check the cid, pdp_type and apn or the antenna connection, and try again. Vantron | Public VT-MOB-LTE1T-PB UM (UART DTU Mode) www.vantrontech.com...

You need to repeat the above procedures each time when the cellular card is restarted. The above AT commands only list basic setup commands, you can refer to the manual of the modem for more settings (available at https://www.telit.com/devices/le910cx-threadx/, or ask Vantron for information).
