I have firmware version 6.1.38 installed and would like to update to the 8.0.XX latest. Can I do this direct or do I need to update to 7.XX first.
Second question, on the advanced cellular setting of “reset the module after n unsuccessful attempts” says the default value is different for different cellular modules but doesn’t tell me what the default value is. (it was set to 100) but I have no idea if this is correct. What would be a good value?
Thanks
For your first question about updating from firmware version 6.1.38 to 8.0.XX, it’s best to follow the recommended update process. Usually, you can update directly to the latest version, but in some cases, updating to an intermediate version (like 7.XX) first might be required. I suggest checking the release notes or contacting support for confirmation before proceeding.
For the second question about the “reset the module after n unsuccessful attempts,” the default value can vary depending on the cellular module you’re using, and it’s not always specified clearly. Setting it to 100 might be fine, but it depends on your use case. If you’re experiencing frequent failed attempts, you could try lowering the number to reduce unnecessary retries. A value between 3 and 10 is usually good for most scenarios, but you can adjust it based on your needs.

Hello,
If you issue the following command from the device’s CLI, it will tell you what the -current- value is:
modemcc 0 link_retries ?
If you issue the following command, it will change the current value to the -default- value (answering your question):
modemcc 0 link_retries !
