Hi!

     I'm trying to change the operation band on my modem and got the following terminal output:

AT+WMBS?
+WMBS: 5,0

OK

AT&W
OK

AT+CFUN=1
OK

+WIND: 13

+WIND: 1

AT+WFM=2
+WFM: “MONO900”,0,0
+WFM: “MONO1800”,0,0
+WFM: “MONO1900”,0,0
+WFM: “BI9001800”,0,0
+WFM: “BI9001900”,0,0
+WFM: “MONO850”,0,0
+WFM: “BI8501900”,0,0
+WFM: “QUADBAND”,1,0
+WFM: “EFR”,1,0
+WFM: “HR”,1,0
+WFM: “DTXDATA”,1,0
+WFM: “DATA144”,1,0
+WFM: “SIM3VONLY”,0,0
+WFM: “SIM1V8ONLY”,0,0
+WFM: “SIM1V8AND3V”,1,0
+WFM: “SIMREMOVE”,1,0
+WFM: “OFFWHENUNPLUG”,0,0
+WFM: “SWITCHATT”,1,0
+WFM: “CPHS”,1,0
+WFM: “SIMSPEEDENH”,1,0
+WFM: “LOCA”,0,0
+WFM: “AMR”,1,0
+WFM: “NT_6K”,1,0

      Even though I tried at+wmbs=5 and at+cfun, modem seems to be in quadband. Do anyone know why it happens? 

       Thank you!

Hi,

+WFM show you the features supported, with QUALBAND enabled mean your modem support all the bands.

+WMBS is the only command used to change band.
You used AT+WMBS=5,0 so that the modem should work in dualmode(900E/1800), you can check using AT+WMBS? anytime and whatever it show, it’s the current working band, no if/but.

I think you can prove this by setting a band that not servicing in your area, e.g. “AT+WMBS=0,1” (or other mono band), and if no registration possible, it proves it working

To go to quad band, you have to run AT+WMBS=7,1
Please note, you have to run 7.44 or higher version of firmware.

Thank you for your answers! It’s all clear about the commands.

Indeed, my problem is that, as soon as it’s registered, modem tries to start the bearer, reach a timeout and got reset(I suppose this is because of the watchdog in idle state). Lets hope other posts help me solve it.
