communication with EVK-L2x 

 
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).
