Before you can use the modem, you must set up a cellular data account with your service provider. Each service provider has its own process for adding devices to their network.
USING LINUX Using Linux Shell Commands Testing Serial Ports To test the serial ports created by the driver, type in a shell: # cat /dev/ttyACM0 & # echo –en "ATE0\r" > /dev/ttyACM03 # echo –en "AT\r" > /dev/ttyACM0 Note: Sending ATE0 is required, to avoid issues in the terminal output. It prevents the sending/receiving spurious characters to/from the modem when used with the Linux commands “echo”...

BASIC OPERATIONS Basic Operations Interacting with Your Device Overview This section describes how to use AT commands to interact with your device. Using terminal software such as Kermit, you can issue AT commands to communicate with and configure your modem. The AT commands let you establish, read and modify device parameters and help you control how the device operates.
BASIC OPERATIONS To send the modem AT Commands from terminal emulation software, set the software to match the modem’s default data format, which is: ■ Speed: 115,200 bps ■ Data bits: 8 ■ Parity: none ■ Stop bit: 1 ■ Flow control: hardware To confirm you are communicating with the device: ■...
BASIC OPERATIONS More than 12.8% Not known or not detectable Note: Signal strength of 10 or higher is needed for successful packet data sessions. Example A example response to AT+CSQ: +CSQ: 15,1 Checking Network Registration Before establishing a packet data connection, verify the is device registered on the network. To do this enter the network registration report read command: AT+CREG? If the device returns:...
BASIC OPERATIONS Put the device in text mode. Enter: AT+CMGF=1 Read message. Enter: AT+CMGR=1 Example response: +CMGR: "REC UNREAD","+16155554562z`z","","13/09/05,13:39:40-20" How are you? Sending Text Messages To send a text message in text mode: Put the device in text mode. Enter: AT+CMGF=1 The device responds.
