I’m using an FX30 with a Verizon SIM card, connected to it from Windows 10.
After rebooting, the device was in low power mode. I attempted to return to full power as follows
at+cfun=1 is not a supported operation
at+cfun=1,1 reboots the module
at+cfun=7 seems to have exited low power mode
(the other ‘at+cfun=?’ commands were not useful, one put it in factory test mode, the others did nothing)
From at!gstatus? the mode us OFFLINE. Through SSH, cm radio status shows the radio is OFF.
The command ‘cm radio on’ does nothing.
How can I ‘enter’ full-power, or normal operating mode? How can I turn the radio back on?

Hi Daniel,
Any chance it is the OS Windows 10 forced airplane mode?
Please check connection settings or the Ethernet/Cellular button on the toolbar (next to the clock).
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Hi lotam,
The OS is not in airplane mode. From the toolbar menu I see that airplane mode is turned off. It also says “Cellular, Turned Off”.
In the settings menu, I see that “Let Windows manage this connection” is not checked and it is grayed out - I cannot check the box. To be thorough, I connected the module to a second Windows 10 PC; “Let Windows manage this connection” is checked, also not in airplane mode, but I have the same result.
Can you confirm that “at+cfun=7” and “cm radio on” are the correct commands to set the device to normal full-power mode, and turn on the radio?
Thanks Daniel.
So are you saying the “Cellular” icon is also gray out and you cannot click to enable?
If yes, sorry for wrong guess then maybe something on FX30.
Yes, “cm radio on” or AT+CFUN=1 normally used to set normal online mode.
Please also share response of below which may tell the cause of off:
AT!PCINFO?
AT!PRIID?
ATI
ATI8
By the way, I also saw you have another post about FX30 but relate to VZW…
May I clarify that you have two FX30, one stay radio off (this post) and another one can “online”?
My other post about the FX30 with VZW is about the same device, but that issue occurred first. While trying to fix that issue, the issue in this post occurred.
It may be solved now, but I don’t know why. If I disconnect the cellular antenna from the FX30, the command “at+cfun=1” seems to work, and the radio turns on. I attached the antenna, and it still says ‘online’.
Do you know why this might be?
(the issue from my other post persists though)
Trying that command (and any variation I could think of) returns ERROR, but the device also reliably starts in normal/full-power mode now (prior to the command).
For some reason, it appears the solution was to unplug power and both antennas, let the device sit for a few minutes, and reboot - only reattaching the antennas after issuing “at+cfun=1”.
(It doesn’t inspire much confidence, but the radio is on now…)
