3.13.5 Network Connectivity and Technology Status Signals
The STATUS line serves to indicate the module’s network connectivity state or the underlying
network technology (2G or 3G/4G) and can be used to control an externally connected LED as
shown in Figure 18. To operate the LED a buffer, e.g. a transistor or gate, must be included in
the external application.
Figure 18: LED circuit (example)
For electrical characteristics of the STATUS line see Table 22. The network connectivity and
technology signal function is volatile and has to be activated after module startup with AT^SLED.
For details on the command as well as status and mode indications through blinking intervals
see [1].
