• 7 - Default configuration
The E810-CQDA2T uses Layer 0 (RAM) to read RAM configuration from the device, and Layer 1 (BBR) to
save configuration to the RAM of the device. If layers are used incorrectly, the ubxtool command will
fail with a UBX-ACK-NAK response. The E810-CQDA2T also uses Layer 2 (FLASH), and Layer 7 (default
configuration).
If you do not state the layer, the -z flag (change configuration item) writes to FLASH and RAM, while
the -g flag reads from all the possible layers.
For more information about the use of ubxtool, and to get a list of possible configuration items, use the
following command:
# ubxtool -h -v 3
4.15.3 Perform Antenna Status Check New Location Setup
The current active antenna status can be determined by polling the UBX-MON-RF message. If an
antenna is connected, the initial state after power-up is “Active Antenna OK”.
The antenna supervisor can be configured through the CFG-HW-ANT_* configuration items. The current
configuration of the active antenna supervisor can also be checked by polling the related
CFG-HW_ANT_* configuration items.
Antenna status (as reported in the UBX-MON-RF and UBX-INF-NOTICE messages) is not reported
unless the antenna voltage control has been enabled. To enable it:
# ubxtool -v 1 -P 29.20 -z CFG-HW-ANT_CFG_VOLTCTRL,1
