Cellular service verification 

After  completing  the  setup  of  either  mode  of  the  cellular  connection,  it  is  important  to  determine  that  there  is  adequate 
signal strength before deciding on a final installed position. Cellular coverage can vary, even over a short distance, and a 
bad placement of the AT&T U115 can result in substandard or even non-existent cellular service. 

If the device is using an imbedded Cellular modem, the signal strength will be displayed on the front panel, right side. The 
color of the light labeled "CELL" will indicate the network connectivity as follows: 

 

Blue

 - LTE  

 

Green

 - non-LTE 4G / 3G (UMTS) 

If the device is using an external USB modem, y

ou can check the signal strength by pressing the “RESET” button on the 

back  while  powered  on  with  the  Cellular  USB  modem  inserted.  A  paper  clip  or  other  sharp  object  will  be  required  to 
properly depress this button.

  

The signal strength will be represented by a sequence of LEDs illuminated on the front panel. Up to six LEDs, starting with 
the “online” light may be illuminated depending on detected strength. The signal strength will appear in this form for five 
seconds. At least three LEDs of signal strength are recommended. 

 

Figure 12: Cellular Signal Strength Display 

 

The unit should be installed in a location that gives optimal signal strength.  

Note:

 After the final location has been determined by the best signal strength the U115 needs to be rebooted in order to 

re-establish the cellular connection.
