Sending data from your thing to the cloud
Before you begin
• Using a terminal emulator, send an
AT<CR>
command to ensure that the smart terminal can
receive AT commands. For more information, see
General AT Commands for the Quectel
For information about connecting a terminal emulator to the modem, see
Connecting to the LTE IoT 2 click
• Send an
AT+ETMINFO=version<CR>
command to verify that the version number is
Eseye
Telemetry Module V0.99_ma
or higher.
If the version number is not in this range, you will need to update the modem software. For
more information, see
• Send an
AT+ETMSTATE=startmqtt<CR>
command to enable the MQTT protocol
• Ensure you know the thing name that you set up in AWS.
To test that your thing can publish information to AWS:
1. Create two publish topics in the Quectel BG96 module.
a. Using a terminal emulator, type:
at+emqpubopen=0,"PublishToCloud0"
<return>
at+emqpubopen=1,"PublishToCloud1"
<return>
b. Check that the first two index numbers are assigned a topic each. Type:
at+emqpubopen?
<return>
A list of index numbers and their assigned topics appears.
