Hello together,

I updated my EM9191 device from Firmware SWIX55C\_01.07.19.00\_GENERIC\_016.010\_002 to SWIX55C\_03.04.03.00\_GENERIC\_030.012\_000. Before that I was able to establish an TDD (n78) connection towards an AMARI callbox (cellular test device) but not to any FDD band. After the FW-Update an FDD connection could be established but in the end there was no data exchange through a performed iperf run. The formally easily to establish TDD connection was than no longer feasible.  
Is there a necessity to ajust calibration data with each new firmware, or where can be the root causes of such behavior.  
Every hint is welcome. 🙂  
Thank you all very much in advance.

Greetings Felix

</div>

have you checked AT!RFCOMBOS? or AT!BAND=? and see if this band is available?

Hello,  
the bands are available and the callbox is providing a 5G stand alone network with only one transmitted band (either band n5, n7 or n78).

</div>

from product technical specification, n78 should be TDD band

Have you tried some newer FW?

</div>

well with the old FW n78 TDD is working properly but with the newest available version on the web resources I can get an connection with band n7 FDD but no actual data traffic. A registration of the modem with band n78 was not possible with the newer FW

Oh, I did not realize that there is already a version 03.09.06. Thanks for the hint.  
But back to my second question. Is there anything regarding calibration when updating a modem. We got some feedback from a customer that this was sometimes necessary for older modems. Not necessarily from Sierra Wireless but also for other modem suppliers.

AT!BAND=? will show only the bands calibrated.

ok, thanks for your help 🙂  
I think that can help us with our customer communication.
