Simulate or mock modems
Hi all, I figure to ask in this community since most likely everyone deals with modems on a regular basis. I work with edge devices, and sometimes the LTE signal around the house is bad (wfh). We mainly use verizon and att. I have a few scripts that I need to test, I come from the full stack dev world, where we can sometimes mock (fake) certain things, so I was wondering if such a thing exists for LTE modems, a simulator or a mock device in order to streamline testing. Thank you, Fernando B.

Attempting to leave factory-test mode > with AT+QRFTESTMODE=0 doesn’t seem to have any effect Ah, that could also be it, yes. Maybe ask for help in the Quectel forum, they may know what happened or how to solve it. -- Aleksander
