AT command errors

I am working with a double MicroMod board (SparkFun MicroMod Main Board - Double - DEV-20595 - SparkFun Electronics), an ESP32 processor (product 16402) and a LTE+GNSS board (product 18431), with its own IoT SIM card (operator Telus).
I am trying to set up a MQTT communication with the cloud. I am able to initialize the SARA-R5 board, for instance with the code example #3 from the GitHub repository, but I cannot set the PDP context. The serial monitor would display: “Network registration: Not registered”. However all the other settings seems to work fine, and it displays an available APN and IP, different from the one provided by my operator: m2m.telus.iot and 0.0.0.0
If I try to break it down to manual AT commands, some of them return unexpected errors:

  • AT+UMNOPROF? # checks operator
    Reponse: OK 21 (Telus)
  • AT+CDGCONT=1, “IP”, “[apn from the operator]”, “[IP from the operator]”
    Response: ERROR
  • AT+URAT? # checks RAT parameters
    Response: ERROR
  • AT+CMEE=2 # enable verbose errors
    Response: ERROR
  • AT+CEREG? # checks network registration
    Response: +CEREG 0, 3 OK # not registered, acces denied, but command is successfull

Would you have any hint about how to correct this so that the AT commands do not result in errors anymore?

Thank you!

Ensure your network is compatible:

’ LTE NB-IoT Radio Access Technology, and the LTE FDD bands: 66, 71, 85 are not supported by this version. Refer to the SARA-R5 datasheet for more information.’

Are you using the custom AT-command set?

Hi @Colibri ,

This guide may help - especially the “AT Terminal” section:

I hope this helps,
