Status LED

The Status LED flashes in various patterns, based on the state of the modem. This LED is tied to the modem’s hardware SYNC pin, and is therefore directly under control of the modem itself (rather than the modem driver). The SYNC pin functionality is configured by sending the “AT^SSYNC=1” command during modem initialization, at driver startup.

The following LED patterns shown in Table 1 are possible, (taken from the document TC63 AT Command Set, table 19.1).
