      Installing Verizon Firmware on Kona Micro 2.0

      Note: This article only applies to the following T-codes:

      • T0007915/T0008052 (US915 with cellular backhaul)
      • The T-codes listed above have QUECTEL modems.

      Gateways using the APN "vzwinternet" must have the following prerequisites before connecting:

      To install Verizon firmware, please follow the steps below:

      1. Insert the SIM before powering on the gateway and proceeding below.
      2. Download the "modem-oma-dm-handler" package above.
      3. Upload the file to the gateway using WinSCP/FileZilla/KonaFT (Decompress option MUST NOT be ticked if you are using admin credentials).
      4. SSH into the gateway via PuTTY.
      5. Unzip the uploaded package: sudo unzip modem-oma-dm-handler-quectel_0.6.1-r3_kona.ipk.zip
      6. Install the uploaded package: sudo opkg install modem-oma-dm-handler-quectel_0.6.1-r3_kona.ipk
      7. Run the following command:  konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QMBNCFG="Select","hVoLTE-Verizon"'
      8. Power cycle the gateway by safely disconnecting the power and reconnecting it.
      9. Confirm the firmware activation with the command: konaLTEmodem.py -c 'AT+QMBNCFG="List"'

      The command in step 9 will list out all firmware pertaining to the Quectel modem. When the Verizon entry is activated, it will be indicated as such:

      • +QMBNCFG: "List",2,1,1,"hVoLTE-Verizon",0x05010141,202011021

      • The "2,1,1," in the line above indicates that Verizon firmware is selected for your gateway.
