- Verify that the SIM card is correctly inserted and active with a valid data plan.
- Ensure the LTE antenna is securely connected to the MAIN port.
- Check the network status indicator LED for activity.
- Confirm that the correct APN settings are configured via AT commands.
- Test the module in an area with good cellular coverage.
- GNSS positioning not working:
- Ensure the GPS antenna is securely connected to the GNSS port.
- Place the GPS antenna in an open area with a clear view на небото.
- Verify GNSS is enabled and configured correctly via AT commands.
- Communication issues with AT commands (e.g., no response, garbled text):
- Check the serial port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) in your terminal program.
- Crucially, ensure hardware flow control is disabled on your host controller board or in your serial communication software. This is a common cause of issues.
- Verify the correct serial port device is selected (e.g.,
/dev/ttyUSBn).
- Antenna connectors frequently detach:
- These are small connectors and can be delicate. Ensure they are fully seated.
- For permanent installations, a small amount of non-conductive adhesive (e.g., hot glue) can be used to secure the connectors after they are properly attached.
