Hello,

Here I am again with another problem with this module, now I’m trying to do FTP  
(the NTP from my previous post is still not working)

> ATI  
> WS6318  
> OK

> AT+CMEE=1  
> OK

> AT+WIPCFG=1  
> OK

> AT+WIPBR=1,6  
> OK

> AT+WIPBR=2,6,11,“internet.proximus.be”  
> OK

> AT+WIPBR=2,6,0,“”  
> OK

> AT+WIPBR=2,6,1,“”  
> OK

> AT+WIPBR=4,6,0  
> OK

> AT+WIPCREATE=4,1,“ourftpserver”,21,“username”,“password”  
> +CME ERROR: 3

> AT+WIPCREATE=4,1,“ourftpserver”,“username”,“password”  
> +CME ERROR: 3

The error means (I believe) the operation is not allowed.

trying:

> AT+WIPCREATE=4,1,“ourftpserver”  
> +CME ERROR: 837  
> at least this is in the manual: bad protocol

It looks as if the hardware does not support the commands described in the manual?

On this forum, I found some posts referring to checking whether the internet protocol feature is enabled, but the command used does  
not work on the WS6318 (AT+WCFM or AT+WCFM=5 or AT+WCFM? or AT+WCFM=? → all result in ‘ERROR’).

I’m using the “AT Command Manual for Firmware L30” for “AirPrime WS6318”, which also has the following info on the first page:  
4111702  
5.0  
April 12, 2012

Is there a way of figuring out what version of the firmware the module has?  
Any clues anyone?

Thanks,  
Marleen
