The image contains files used to configure the module for use with specific carriers. Multiple images can be
stored on the device. During a firmware upgrade, you can add images packages to the module or replace an
image with a newer version.
Note – You can only switch to an image already uploaded to the module.
The image package contains these files:
n
Firmware file – Contains the module's firmware.
n
Carrier Configuration file (the Product Release Information or PRI) – Contains custom settings for a
specific carrier and is linked internally to a specific firmware file.
The module runs an active image which contains a single uncompressed copy of a firmware file and a single
configuration file.
To see a list of available carriers and their image packages, go
n
EM7455 – Global region
n
EM7430 – APAC region
Use cases:
Some carriers require the module to run a specific carrier configuration file, and may also request this for the
certification process. In addition, the carrier configuration file ensures the use of carrier-specific parameters
when you register with that carrier.
