5.9 Powering down the unit
It is strongly unadvised to cut off the supply of GenPro whilst in communication or dialogue without having
first detached from the network operator.
To avoid network congestion when powering down the modem, it is essential to first execute the command
AT+CPOF
. If this is not done, then, in certain cases the modem can remain registered on the network.
Before cutting the power in dialog mode (no communication), send the following command to the modem :
AT+CPOF
or
AT+CFUN=0
(identical functioning). The modem will return OK and is no longer registered on
the network. The radio module is put into standby and the power may then be removed.
Note : There is no particular action to be made to the GPS module before removing the power.
5.10 Updating the modem software
So as to be able to benefit from the latest functions of the GenPro, a procedure is used which will upgrade
the software in the modem.
This consists of downloading the software into the internal Flash memory via the RS232 serial link available
on the 15-pin Sub HD connector.
Please refer to the software update procedure document for a detailed description of this procedure.
WARNING: During the Firmware (OS) update or the Open AT application loading, YOU MUST TO REMOVE
THE MODEM CARD SIM in order to deactivate the Material Watch Dog and so to avoid any blocking risks of
the device.
