 +
 +
In the 'Port Configuration' section of the tool, users can search for available ports using the 'Find Ports' button. Then using the 'Connect' button, users can connect to the modem port of the device.
 +
 +
In the 'Command Mode' tab of AT Command Tester, single AT commands can be sent. The drop down list provides AT command description and examples. Users can modify the default command settings.
 +
 +

To make a data call with the modem, you need to connect to the APN of the carrier network. The carrier APN and other required information are stored in the SIM card and are referred as PDP contexts. Typically multiple PDP contexts are stored in the SIM for different call types. With the AT Command Tester you can edit/add/delete PDP contexts in a easy to use user interface.

Introduction

LinkSprite SM5100B GSM/GPRS module: a miniature, single-side board, quad-band GSM 850/EGSM 900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 module, ready for integration in various kinds of Fix wireless phones and other wireless devices.

USA providers are all on 850/1900Mhz and pratically all the rest of the world uses 900/1800Mhz.

Programming

AT Command Tester Application

AT Command Tester is a free online tool test AT Commands and other modem functionalities of 2G modules (GPRS/EDGE) , 3G Modules (HSDPA/EVDO) and 4G Modules (LTE).AT Command Tester tool connects to the modem port of the device and can test various modem functions such as getting device information, gprs data call, voice call,http access, checking signal condition, network registration, SMS functions, SIM access, phonebook functions etc.

In the 'Port Configuration' section of the tool, users can search for available ports using the 'Find Ports' button. Then using the 'Connect' button, users can connect to the modem port of the device.

In the 'Command Mode' tab of AT Command Tester, single AT commands can be sent. The drop down list provides AT command description and examples. Users can modify the default command settings.

Under the 'Script Mode' tab, multiple AT commands can be sent at a time. Users can add descriptive comments and save the script on their local machine.
