This article explains how you can configure your Treon Gateway cellular communication settings.

Overview

You can view and adapt the standard cellular connectivity settings of your Treon Gateway by editing the file /opt/nbiot_connection/modem.cfg using the command line

Parameters When you have opened the modem.cfg file you can view the parameters set and change them.

MODEM_URAT: priority list of cellular technologies used for connectivity

PIN: SIM PIN code

PIN Code
