4.3 AT Commands Examples
Encryption
The 128/256 bit AES data encryption may be set, enabled or disabled using the AT commands (see
Table 4.1). The encryption key can be any 32/64 character hexadecimal string.
First enter AT command mode by typing ‘+++’ and waiting for a moment till an ‘OK’ from the modem.
Then to activate encryption on a device, the encryption mode must first be enabled by typing
‘ATS15=1’ in the command terminal. Once the encryption mode is active, an encryption key may be
set after typing ‘AT&E’ into the command terminal. The encryption key may be of any 32/64
character hexadecimal string of the users choosing. Any devices with different encryption settings
will not be able to properly decode data.

Airdata rate
Reducing the air speed can help to increase the range and link quality limits the data throughput.
Considerations for the air speed setting:
• The desired range
• The amount of data across the link
• Whether you send data in one direction or both
• Whether you have enabled flow control on the serial link
It is important to note that the air rate should be set to a higher value then the baud rate to prevent
bottlenecking and data loss.
Example of changing air data rate:
