Setting up AT terminal application 

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 for free from 

www.u-blox.com

. For m-center example scripts,
