Lm960 new build

Post by OregonLTE »

Hey all!! I’m getting a lm960 and wg3526 and would love any forums or tutorials on band commands for setting it up in WiFix with Verizon. I am have an em7565 and know the commands for that but it looks like the syntax is different for the lm960? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)!! I tried reading through the manual for the modem and my brain did not process haha. Thanks again

Sierra modems use a Qualcomm chipset. The L860 uses an Intel chipset, and many things "under the hood" are very different.

Oops, my mistake. I've been working on my Fibocom L860 too long. The LM960 is a Telit modem, so the commands I gave before this edit won't work.

Code: Select all

AT#BND?
output is
AT#BND=<GSM>,<UMTS>,<LTE band>

For network status info is a bit cryptic, the command is

Code: Select all

AT#RFSTS
its output format is:

And there is the current serving cell info:

Code: Select all

AT#SERVINFO

Sweet! Just curious 4,2,1 just signifies the order in which you want the modem to receive the signal? And do you always put the 4,2,1 in the band selector command? So for band 4,12, and 66, AT+XACT=4,2,1,104,112,166 Also is there a command to select all LTE bands or All Verizon bands that are the strongest so it can auto select? Thanks again!

@OregonLTE is correct. The Telit command for band selection is AT#BND=<GSM band>[,<UMTS band>[,<LTE band>]]

And the chipset is Qualcomm, so standard Qualcomm LTE bandmask values apply.

The Telit manual doesn't give an example of its use, so I'm not sure if you can just use eg:

AT#BND=,,20000000000000808

would set you up for LTE B4, B12 and B66 only. I don't have an LM960 to try it.
