External antennas must be connected to use the Narrow Band modem and GPS. Not provided with the package. |
A port named "modem" is used for cellular connection (serial/PPP connection) and GNSS NMEA data:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
/port print
Flags: I - INACTIVE
Columns: DEVICE, NAME, CHANNELS, USED-BY, BAUD-RATE
# DEVICE NAME CHANNELS USED-BY BAUD-RATE
0 modbus 1 9600
1 1-1.4 modem 5 115200 |
Default modem port channel assignment:
1 - GNSS NMEA output port;
2 - AT/modem port;
4 - AT/modem port - KNOT LORA kits and KNOT with an internal USB hub.
Cellular configuration
Unlike LTE devices, the KNOT BG77 by default does not provide a direct IP modem interface (LTE interface), but provides AT/modem serial port which is used for serial/PPP connection.
KNOT by default has a serial/PPP connection preset:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
/interface ppp-client print
Flags: X - disabled; R - running
0 R name="ppp-out1" max-mtu=1500 max-mru=1500 mrru=disabled port=modem
data-channel=2 info-channel=4 apn="internet" pin="" user="" password=""
profile=default phone="" dial-command="ATDT"
modem-init="AT+QGPSCFG="priority",1" null-modem=no dial-on-demand=yes
add-default-route=yes default-route-distance=1 use-peer-dns=yes
keepalive-timeout=30 allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 |
For more details on modem port configuration please see the KNOT port configuration/map above.
For more details on serial/PPP connection please check the link.
GNSS configuration
You can find more information by checking the guide here.
BG77 modem shares the same receiver for IoT cellular connectivity and GNSS signal reception. The preferred service can be prioritized by using the modem-init string (configured under /interface ppp-client
) and GNSS service init-string (configured under /system gps
).
AT priority commands are:
AT+QGPSCFG="priority",0 → to prioritize GNSS;
AT+QGPSCFG="priority",1 → to prioritize cellular IoT connectivity;
AT+QGPS=0 → to stop GNSS reception;
AT+QGPS=1 → to start GNSS reception.
