## Getting Started
Start by connecting the **LTE antenna**
Add the **Monogoto SIM**
**Power up** the LTE modem
**Connect your computer to the modem**\
You may use a terminal program on your PC to configure the WP7610. You can use PuTTY for Windows, or screen, minicom, or coolterm / miniterm for Mac or Linux.
{% hint style="info" %}
**For Windows users.** You need to install a driver to start using the WP7610. You can download the driver [**here**](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/airprime_wpx5xx_wp76xx_wp77xx_at_command_reference/#sthash.iz8dE3dv.dpbs).
{% endhint %}
## Connect the WP7610 to Monogoto
{% hint style="info" %}
Keep the **AT Commands manual** next to you for more details about the commands. [**Click here**](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/minicard/2130617_ac_ap_umts_supported_at_command_reference/) to download the latest version.
{% endhint %}
**Reset the modem** to its default configuration:
```bash
AT+CFUN=1,1
```
Set the error reporting to **verbose**, resulting in more descriptive error messages (optional):
```bash
AT+CMEE=2
```
Check the status of the SIM card. The correct response should be: `+CPIN: READY`
```
AT+CPIN?
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you receive an error, the SIM may not be inserted properly or the SIM is protected with a PIN. By default, Monogoto SIMs are not PIN-protected.
{% endhint %}
### Query device information
Request the **product type, hardware,** and **firmware** **version**:
```bash
ATI
```
Request the **IMSI** (International Mobile Subscriber Identity):
```
AT+CIMI
```
Request the **ICCID** (Integrated Circuit Card ID), which is the identification number of the SIM card
```bash
AT+ICCID
```
### Network Configuration
It is possible to let the modem select the network automatically or to manually define a network to connect with.
#### **Option 1: Automatic Network Selection**
To set the modem to **automatic network selection** enter the command:
```bash
AT+COPS=0
```
Check the **network and cellular technology the modem** is currently using:
```
AT+COPS?
```
Expected response: `+COPS: 0,0,"",X`. The last digit indicates the cellular technology:\
`2` indicates **3G**\
`7` indicates **4G**
#### Option 2: Manual Network Selection
Start with searching for available networks:
```
AT+COPS=?
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
It may take several minutes before the modem responds.
{% endhint %}
The modem responds with the **names** and the **MCCMNC** codes of the available networks. It also shows the cellular technologies the networks support:
```
+COPS: (1,"T-Mobile NL","TMO NL","20416",0),(1,"NL KPN","NL KPN","20408",0),(1,"vodafone NL","voda NL","20404",0),(2,"NL KPN","NL KPN","20408",7),(1,"vodafone NL","voda NL","20404",7),(1,"T-Mobile NL","TMO NL","20416",7),,(0,1,2,3,4),(0,)
OK
```
To find which of the networks Monogoto has **roaming agreements** with, review the [**Coverage lists**](https://docs.monogoto.io/getting-started/global-public-coverage).
{% hint style="info" %}
To find the **profile** of your SIM, visit the [**Monogoto Console**](https://console.monogoto.io/), open the page **Things**  and select a specific **Thing**. Scroll down to **Mobile Identities** to find your profile in the column **Network Provider Name**.
{% endhint %}
Check the **network and cellular technology** the modem is currently using:
```
AT+COPS?
```
Expected response: `+COPS: 0,0,"",X`. The last digit indicates the cellular technology.
**Manually set the network and the cellular technology**:
```
AT+COPS=1,2,"XXXXX",7
```
Replace `XXXXX` with the **MCCMNC** code of your operator, for example`"20404"` for Vodafone NL. Use `7` for LTE. It is possible to leave the value for setting the cellular technology out, allowing the modem to select the RAT by itself.
**Check the radio signal strength and signal quality:**
```bash
AT+CSQ
```
{% hint style="info" %}
`+CSQ` returns 2 values separated by a comma. The first value represents the **signal strength** and provides a value between 0 and 31; higher numbers indicate better signal strength. The second value represents the **signal quality** indicated by a value between 0 and 7. If `AT+CSQ` returns `99,99`, the signal is undetectable or unknown.
{% endhint %}
#### Define the cellular band(s) (optional)
It is possible to **lock the modem to specific bands for specific technologies**. This may result in a faster boot cycle as the modem does not need to scan for available bands at startup.
To read the available options, enter:
```
AT!BAND=?
```
Expected response:
```
Index, Name
00, All bands
01, Europe 3G
02, North America 3G
03, Europe 2G
04, North America 2G
05, GSM ALL
06, Europe
07, North America
08, WCDMA ALL
09, LTE ALL
```
To lock the modem to European bands, enter:
```
AT!BAND=06
```
#### Query Network information
Return the operational status, including the Radio Access Technology (RAT) and the band used:
```
AT!GSTATUS?
```
Example response:
```
!GSTATUS:
Current Time: 2224 Temperature: 25
Bootup Time: 1236 Mode: ONLINE
System mode: LTE PS state: Attached
LTE band: B1 LTE bw: 20 MHz
LTE Rx chan: 500 LTE Tx chan: 65535
EMM state: Registered Normal Service
EMM connection:RRC Idle
RSSI (dBm): -66
RSRP (dBm): -96 TAC: F48B (62603)
RSRQ (dB): -11 Cell ID: 0028E72B (2680619)
SINR (dB): 9.6
```
### Network Activation
**Set the APN to** `data.mono`:
```json
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","data.mono"
```
Validate if the **APN** is set correctly:
```
AT+CGDCONT?
```
Expected response: `+CGDCONT: 1,"IP","data.mono","0.0.0.0",0,0,0,0,0,0`
**Activate the PDP (packet data protocol) context**:
```
AT+CGACT=1,1
```
**Test** if the PDP context is activated:
```
AT+CGACT?
```
Expected response: `+CGACT: 1,1`
#### Validate if your device received an **IP address**:
```bash
AT+CGPADDR
```
Expected response: `+CGPADDR: 1,XX.XXX.XX.XXX`
{% hint style="success" %}
Do you see an IP address? **Congratulations! You’ve successfully connected the Sierra Wireless modem to Monogoto 🎉**
Have a look at the **Things** logs in the [**Monogoto Console**](https://console.monogoto.io/) to find more details about the established connection.
