G2150I, make sure DIP switch 1 is set to 

ON

 

Modem Acknowledgement 

Connect the RS-232 port of the OnCell G2100 Series modem to a host PC. Start PComm Terminal 
Emulator with the current communication parameters (default: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, None parity, 
1 stop bits, and no flow control). Type 

AT 

and press 

Enter

. A modem response of 

OK

 indicates 

that the modem is ready. 

 

Verify Signal Strength 

Connect the RS-232 port of the OnCell G2100 Series modem to a host PC. Open PComm Terminal 
Emulator with the current communication parameters (default: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, None 
parity, 1 stop bits, and no flow control). Type 

AT+CSQ 

and press 

Enter

. The modem will 

respond with the receive signal strength (RSSI) and channel bit error rate (BER).
