Hi,

I am new to Sierra Wireless FX30S ( serial port ). I had installed generic windows driver from sierra website into my windows 10 laptop.  
I can see Sierra Wireless AT Command port (Com10).  
FX30 is powered up with its standard cable and USB B micro is connected to usb port, SIM card is inserted in SIM slot.

I am trying to connect using putty(serial connection) and not able to connect to AT / Sierra Wireless FX30 to access AT Command. I tried using 9600/38400/11500 / 8 N 1 baud rate, party stop bit. None was successful.  
Your support in this is very appreciative. Kindly let me know if there is some thing that i am missing here.

Hi @Guruk,

I would advise you to start by having a look to the FX30S User Guide where this topic is addressed:  
[https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/hardware\_reference\_docs/airlink\_fx30s\_hw\_user\_guide/](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/hardware_reference_docs/airlink_fx30s_hw_user_guide/)

By default FX30S RS232 interface is not set for AT command. However, it is possible to configure it for this purpose:  
On the **Sierra Wireless AT command Port** :

> ```
> at!mapuart?
> 
> !MAPUART: 17,17
> 
> OK
> 
> at!mapuart=1,1
> 
> OK
> 
> at!reset
> 
> OK
> 
> ```

Wait for the modem to reset.

> ```
> at!mapuart?
> 
> !MAPUART: 1,17
> 
> OK
> 
> ```

At this stage, you’ll be able to send AT commands on the UART @ 115200 bps

To restore initial config use _AT!MAPUART=17,1_

Please note that PPP Dial-up is not supported opn this product.

Hope it helps,

@guruk,

If you send at!pcinfo? to the unit it wil tell you why it is in low power mode. You could also try sending at+cfun=1 to force it into full power.

Regards

Matt

@guruk,

That’s because you need to start the connection with the below command.

`cm data connect&`

The & is important so that it goes back to the command prompt once the connection is up (or else you have to start another SSH session with the unit.

Regards

Matt
