The module firmware can be updated over the UART interface by means of: 
  the Firmware upgrade Over AT (FOAT) feature, on all the SARA-G3 and SARA-U2 series modules 
  the u-blox EasyFlash tool, on SARA-U2 series modules only 
For more details on FW upgrade procedures see section 1.13 and Firmware update application note [27]. 
 
1.9.1.2  UART AT interface configuration 
The  UART  interface  of  SARA-G3 and SARA-U2  series  modules  is  available  as  AT command interface with  the 
default  configuration  described  in  Table  10  (for  more  details  and  information  about  further  settings,  see  the 
u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]). 
 
AT command mode is enabled by default on the UART physical interface 
Automatic baud rate detection enabled by default on SARA-G3 series 
One-shot automatic baud rate detection enabled by default on SARA-U2 series 
Automatic frame format recognition enabled by default on SARA-G3 series 
One-shot automatic frame format recognition enabled by default on SARA-U2 series 
HW flow control enabled by default 
DSR line set ON in data mode
30
 and set OFF in command mode
30
 
Upon an ON-to-OFF transition of DTR, the DCE enters online command mode
30
 and issues 
an OK result code 
Circuit 109 changes in accordance with the Carrier detect status; ON if the Carrier is 
detected, OFF otherwise 
Multiplexing mode is disabled by default and it can be enabled by AT+CMUX command. 
The following virtual channels are defined: 
  Channel 0: control channel 
  Channel 1: AT and data 
  Channel 2: AT and data  
  Channel 3: AT and data (not available on SARA-G300 / SARA-G310 modules) 
  Channel 4: AT and data (not available on SARA-G300 / SARA-G310 modules) 
  Channel 5: AT and data (not available on SARA-G300 / SARA-G310 modules) 
  Channel 6: GNSS tunneling (not available on SARA-G300 / SARA-G310 modules) 
  Channel 7: SIM Access Profile (not available on SARA-G3 series modules)
