The three digits following the name of the company show the version of the application program running,
such as 2.7.2 or 3.0.1, while the final letters such as “FA-S” detail the platform, the modem type and the
version (standard, dedicated for a certain carrier, with hard disk drive, etc).
Finally, the last letter may indicate the type of the case, P for plastic or M for metal in the case of the
industrial router;
Modem Version
: a code, such as “
SWI9200X_03.00.08.02AP
“ or “ K2_0_7_43AP”, describing the version of
the embedded firmware of the mobile modem of the Bytton LTE equipment; it is very useful for debugging.

But the information related to the equipment
(firmware version, version of the GSM or HSPA
modem, IMEI code) will still be shown on the
screen
If the SIM is active and the signal is above zero, it will show IMSI and network information, even if not
properly registered with the mobile carrier (you cannot make voice or data calls).
