Setting up AT terminal applications for 
communication with EVK-N3 

The u-blox m-center cellular module evaluation tool is a powerful platform for evaluating, configuring 
and testing u-blox cellular products. m-center includes an AT commands terminal for communication 
with the device and can be downloaded free-of-charge from our website (

http://www.u-blox.com

). 

1.

 

Follow the board setup instructions in sectio

1.8

 to provide all the required connections and 

switching on the cellular module. 

2.

 

Run the m-center tool: after the m-center start-up, the 

Home

 page appears. 

3.

 

On the 

Home

 page, set up the AT COM port 

with  the  setting  values  described  in  section 

1.8

. 

Check  the  Windows  Device  Manager  to  find 
out  which  COM  port  is  being  used  by  
EVK-N3.

4.

 

Enable  the  connection  to  u-blox  cellular 
module by clicking the 

Connect

 button. 

 

5.

 

Retrieve the module and network information 
by clicking the 

Get info

 button. 

 

6.

 

The  module  information  is  retrieved  and 
displayed on the 

Home

 page. 

 

7.

 

Click on the 

AT Terminal

 button (upper right 

of the 

Home

 page). A new window opens and 

the  AT  command  terminal  is  now  ready  for 
communication with EVK-N3.

The AT terminal is ready to use. 
For  the  complete  list  of  AT  commands 
supported  by  the  modules  and  their  syntax, 
see  the  SARA-N2  /  SARA-N3  series  AT 
commands manual
