[HiLo] PPP Connection

IoT Modules Legacy HL Series
1

Hi,
I try to activate a PPP connection with an HiLo v2.

I can dial up with this sequence (this is a generic sequence for my program. ) :
ATZ
ATV1
ATX
ATM1
ATB0
AT+CPIN=“1234”
AT+CPIN?
AT+CGDCONT=1,“IP”,“free”
AT+CNMI=2,0,0,0,0
AT&K3
AT99**1#

After the CONNECT answer, I can initiate the PPP Link with the exchange of data for LCP, PAP, CCP and IPCP of the links layers.

When the link was established, I try to send an email. The problem is I can send IP frame but I don’t receive answer.
All the sequence is Ok (I have tried it with an other GPRS modem), but the Hilo v2 modem doesn’t want to work after the PPP link is established.

I suppose I don’t do something but I don’t know why.

Is anyone one can help me ?

After somme research, I has found my problem.

I’m not able to send UDP frames, so the dns resolution requests before a TCP connection fail.

If I use an IP adresse and not a name address, the TCP communication is ok.

Below, I copy an UDP frame for a DNS request.

Frame 41: 63 bytes on wire (504 bits), 63 bytes captured (504 bits) on interface 0 (outbound)
Interface id: 0 (RS232FULL)

If someone have an idea for why UDP frames is not sent.

I found and solved my problem.

The server uses Xon/Xoff flow control, so when a UDP frame was issued, the Xon character was also issued.

I change my configuration and all is ok now.
