Generic Connection Manager for ELS61-US | Thales IoT Developer Community

Hi
I would like to know if there is any generic connection manager for ELS61-US. If not , please specify a generic AT command list for easier attach to LTE network.
The requirement is to attach to our own LTE network.
PLMN - 543 211
APN - internet
LTE - Band 1
Thanks
Andrew
Hello,
Generally the module should connect automatically to LTE network. The network should assign the default APN. You could also configure it with this command "AT+CGDCONT=1,<PDP_type>,<APN>". But if you configure the wrong APN the network will reject the LTE registration.
There is more in the AT commands specification document - chapter "Attaching to LTE Networks".

Hi,
We have default APN assigned by the network to the module without configuration. But if the network was not dedicated to the module and some other modules/phones require to specify one APN that is not easy to configure by the subscriber or misstyped then we have APN redirection configured in the network (kind of auto spelling correction with auto-confirmation to have default best effort QoS for non common services that need much more QoS). So, then if one configure the wrong APN on the go, the network should not reject the mispelled one to connect to default internet in the subscription or I missunderstood your response.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Thank you for this description.
My intention was to advice that if the APN is not configure for context 1 it should be configured automatically by the network. And if the wrong value is configured manually the network might reject the 4G registration. Or it may not as you described but it's out of the control of the device.
Now when I read the original question I think that the intention of the author might have been different - he just wanted to register to a particular network and not any other.
