Description

Summary of change

The cellular_properties object for the SARA4_PPP instance did not allow CEREG to be used for registration checks. LTE-M plans require that CEREG is used to check for registration as its separate from 3G or 2G service (CREG/CGREG respectively). CGREG is left in because the radio has 2G fallback.

In current LTE-M dataplans in the US (on Verizon and AT&T at least) CEREG will report a successful registration while CGREG and CREG will not. This means that the cellular connection will not be established as mbed does not think the modem is registered.

Documentation

None.

If AT+CREG is supported it should be enabled as well.

AT+CREG will return a response, but as the modem is LTE-M or 2G only AT+CREG should never respond with a registration on this device.
