Getting Started
Before putting the M110 in operation, it must be configured first. The configuration commands can be given
to the modem over Serial port or by sending an SMS.
To send command over the serial port, please connect M110 to a computer over Serial port. Use standard
software available on a Windows PC (e.g. hyper terminal) to send serial commands to M110. SMS would
have to be sent to the mobile number corresponding to the SIM card inserted in M110 device. In either
case, the commands are mPACK AT commands as described below.
