3 Description of change

In order to ensure forward compatibility with possible future Radio Access Network (RAN)
releases, all TOBY-L2 and MPCI-L2 series modules will include new default configuration
settings.

Reason: [CA-085450] A risk has been identified that in very specific scenarios, when the RAN
introduces new 3GPP release 10 or later Information Elements (IE), incompatibility issues
between the module and network are detected, which causes registration failures. Applying the
new configuration script / new default configuration settings eliminates this risk.

3.1 Default configuration setting change in production

New default configuration settings are applied in production. The new configuration of the LTE
decoder is loaded in RAM allowing tolerant handling of decoding errors related to detection of
new, unrecognized IEs that might become available in future 3GPP releases, thus eliminating
potential risk related to incompatibility issues.

3.2 Applying changes on products in the field

A software package will be made available and can be used to update units in the field with the
new configuration (for example by using FOTA).

The size of the package is approximately 1 MB. Applying the package to products in the field
does not affect module performance. Once the package is applied, the new module
configuration will stay in non-volatile-memory (NVM).

3.3 Traceability

For traceability reasons, the application version will be changed after the script has been
applied and corresponding SVN number will be changed to 10. On Verizon variants (on
TOBY-L201/MPCI-L201) the modem version for Verizon will change.

Error! Reference source not found. and Table 2 each show the version numbers before and
after. Customers can identify those units in which the new configuration settings have been
applied reading the version by means of the ATI9 command.

3.4 Additional fix for TOBY-L220-02S

In addition to the fix for [CA-085450], the following issue has been resolved:

 [u-blox id 2-3430] – missing support for ELLA-W131 Wi-Fi module in TOBY-L220-02S
