Hi! I’m using the firmware version 7.44 on a XTEND FXT009 EDGE. When I connect by serial port and try to execute command AT+CGATT=1 just waits for a few seconds and answers with error. I’m trying to initiate the gprs stack, is there any way to do it instead of this one? Thank you! ---

Are you using a working SIM card with subscription and works ok on cell phone? If the SIM detected and working in XTEND and GSM able to register? Try to send AT+CMEE=1 before AT+CGATT=1 which give you the error code. and send below after the failure. AT+CPIN? AT+CREG? GPRS Attach is automatically done during GPRS Activate or dialup… Not sure your particular usage but which may not needed… ---

I’m afraid I’m not much familiar with at commands so I really don’t know what these commands are doing. Anyway, this is the output of commands. AT+CMEE=1 OK AT+CPIN? +CPIN: READY AT+CREG? +CREG: 0,1 OK AT+CMEE=0 OK Thank you ---

Hi, Maybe my previous post is not clear enough. Please try below AT cmd sequence and share the complete response. AT+CMEE=1 AT+CSQ AT+CREG? AT+CGATT=1 AT+CPIN? AT+CREG? AT+CEER AT+CSQ Thanks. ---

Ok. Output for the commands is this: +CSQ: 16,0 +CREG: 0,1 AT + CGATT -\> OK(son it seems to be working now. Why? I cannot say… humm) AT+CPIN? -\> READY +CREG: 0,1 +CERR -\> 0(No error?) CSQ: 17,0 By the way, is it mandatory for CGATT to have the cable plugged? It isn’t the original reason for the failure, but I notice that doing it without cable plugged made CREG returns 148(unrecognized error?) and CEER returns 266… ---

Hi, That’s a good news. BTW, you mentioned “cable”, what exactly it is? Are you saying the antenna or UART/USB cable? For failure cause, 266, it does not seems to be a valid code. If in case it is a typo of 226, then it make sense with antenna disconnected as no network signal… 226 - Unsuccessful attach cause NO SERVICE ---

Yeah! Sorry, I meant the antenna when I was talking about the cable. Concerning to the error number, it was a typo, you were right, number is 226, so it seems fine, no service because you have no antenna. Is it right? ---

I would, but I’m afraid it doesn’t want me to enjoy, lets see this thread: FXT 009 tries to register with wrong operator!
