TheLN-Lisaself-containedvehicletrackingdevicethatcombinesGPSlocationwithLTECAT1/3G
fallbackcellular connectivity. It is primarily a location reporting device that responds to requests
(user, server) and events (timers, geo-fences). Data reports consist of a single record that
contains all location data and system status.
The device comes pre-configured from the factory. It is ready to use. TheLNLappearstoauseroraserverapplicationasanendpointdevice.Itcan

3.4 AT Commands
Extended AT commands are specific to the LN-L device. They are closely based on commands
that are as similar as possible industry common devices and are essentially subsets of standard
LN-L commands. Native AT commands supported by the Quectel EC21-A modules are also
available via the serial and USB interfaces.

Report is not considered “complete” until its acknowledgement is received. Thus, if report X is
sent and report X+1 is triggered while waiting for acknowledgement of X, report X+1 will be
queued until such acknowledgement is received and only then sent. The LN-L will attempt to resend queued report(s) every time a new report is triggered. If there is more than one report
queued, the reports will attempt to be sent in the order of triggering and only once the report
is acknowledged, the next report is attempted. This assures that reports are sent and received
in order
