GL7812 server configuration assistance

Basic Information:

  • My goal is simple. To enable this GL7812 to run as a pass through in server mode.
  • I am using a Private Static IP SIM
  • I am connected with the correct VPN credentials
  • Using HL78xx - AT Command Reference Guide (41111821 - Rev. 20 & 24)
    Are they any experts on the server configuration that can provide some assistance?

We want to run a demo where we have an external UI calls into the GL7812 (given IP and a port) and extract information.
I have the modem running fine in client mode calling out to a server and then pass through, but now that I want to do the other way around and am not able to reach it.

I run the sequence below to setup the TCP connection in server and then start the TCP connection. I connect to my VPN and tried to ping the IP in the Windows command prompt but it times out… I tried to tracert the IP and all the hops timed out after the first.

I based this off of the daytime server in the reference guide (A.5.2 Server Mode), but I just wanted a pass through and do not want to initiate a connection request necessarily. Perhaps I am thinking about this incorrectly or I am providing incomplete information. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Powered up GL7812…
Here is the input/output from my PuTTY terminal (echo turned on and a few URCs at startup)

In +KTCPCFG command, seems you have set 100 to remote address instead of tcp port number…

Thanks for the feedback. That is actually just a typo in my message:
Here is the exact terminal output:

What is the problem?
Do you mean your windows cannot ping the IP address?

How can you ensure the sim card IP address can be pinged?

Can the windows pc establish tcp client connection to it?
