Setting up AT terminal applications for 
communication with EVK-R6 and EVK-L6 

The u-blox m-center 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 (

https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/m-center

). 

 

1.

 

Follow the board setup instructions in sectio

1.8

 to provide all the required connections and 

switching on the cellular module. 

2.

 

Run the m-center tool: after the m-center start-up, the 

Home

 page appears. 

 

3.

 

On the 

Home

 page, set up the AT COM port; 

for the setting values see sectio

1.8

. 

Check with the Windows Device Manager to 
find out which COM port is being used by the 
EVK-R6 and EVK-L6.

4.

 

Enable  the  connection  to  u-blox  cellular 
module by clicking on the 

Connect

 button. 

 

5.

 

Retrieve the module and network information 
by clicking on the 

Get Info

 button. 

 

6.

 

The  module  information  is  retrieved  and 
displayed on the 

Home

 page. 

 

7.

 

Click on the 

AT Terminal

 button, found at the 

upper right of the 

Home

 page. A new window 

opens and the AT-command terminal is now 
ready  for  communication  with  the  EVK-R6 
and EVK-L6.

The AT terminal is ready to use. 

For the complete list of AT commands 
supported by the modules and their syntax, 
see the u-blox AT commands manual
