5 Registering AWS IoT ExpressLink SARA-R5
with your development account
5.1 Setting up the module
Before a cellular module can be registered with your development account for the first time, it must
have registered with the cellular network for the first time. Ensure that:
• the provided Thingstream SIM is inserted in the board,
• a cellular antenna is connected to the antenna connector marked “LTE”,
• you are in range of a
cellular network that supports LTE-M,
• the board is connected to a host machine using the USB-C connection,
• a serial terminal application configured as specified in section 3.1 is running on the host machine.
Then a “dummy” CONNECT is performed as in the following steps:
1. In the
AWS IoT Console, choose Settings (bottom left of the navigation bar) and copy your
account “Endpoint”
string from “Device data endpoint”.
2. Press the “SARA On” button on the carrier board for around one second to power the cellular
module on; the white “On” LED should light.
