Mofi 4500 Sim7 How to Run AT commands

Anybody have the newer Sim7 model of the Mofi 4500? I can't figure out how to run AT commands. I'm unsure if my second antenna is actually being used. The signal status page does not show a separate reading for the diversity antenna.

MC7354 custom SBC Modem/Router/Firewall

Issue with MC7354 card (Generic firmware) and pfSense custom SBC modem. Installed card, flashed with most recent generic UMTS firmware from Sierra website. I can get the card to respond and connect via command line but I'm having a hell of a time with the pfSense GUI. Nov 5 16:16:39 ppp [wan_link0] ...

Re: Custom Modem/Router

Is that why my Netgear LB1120 said I had -44db signal when I tried it? hah!

Re: Custom Modem/Router

...a booster can only utilize a single antenna and you would "connect" your router to it wirelessly OR you use 2 antennas and connect to your router directly via cabling? A cell booster yes, but I'm speaking of using just the amplifier itself. I would still direct connect the amplifier us...

Re: Custom Modem/Router

Gotcha. Going to pick up a second matched LPDA antenna. Question re: signal amplifiers - Is it beneficial to run an amplifier on one of the antennas or will that cause issues having one amplified and one not?

Re: Custom Modem/Router

Here is the tower I'm connecting to: Screen Shot 2020-10-30 at 7.36.42 AM.png The only bands the tower has is B2 and B12 on 1900mhz and 700mhz respectively so B71 is a moot point.

Re: Custom Modem/Router

Did a little more research today. Connecting on bands 2 and 12. Slow speeds on B12 (700a) with high signal and faster speeds on B2 (1900g) with only 2 bars (using a 700mhz yagi) would I gain anything with a better antenna focusing on B2 1900 mhz instead of B12?? Or would adding a second antenna in t...

Re: Custom Modem/Router

Thanks for the options. I'm trying to use what hardware I have with minimal extra purchases. I can't seem to find ANY info on this mini-pc. It has 2 mini PCI-E ports (one is in use for the 32GB SSD I have installed), a SIM card slot, 8GB of ram, a decently fast Celeron processor. I was using it for ...

Custom Modem/Router

Question for all the gurus I live in a very rural area, the nearest tower (T-Mobile/AT&T band 12) is 3.5 miles south of me with moderate tree coverage. I have a Yagi antenna (700-900mhz) and a signal booster. Using this I'm able to get about 20mbps down and 2-5mbps up on my cell phone. I'm looki...
