I am unable to use and send a UDP packet when connected to NTN. Is this possible with this module?
NTN should be supported in R6.1
Sorry is R6.1 a future release? What is the current revision?
Here are the results of ATI9 on my module: HL7810.5.7.2.0-24.10.0.FreeRTOS.w43
HL78xx.5.7.2.0.RK_03_02_00_00_43621_001.20241029
I see only release 6 is available in current firmware. How do I obtain release 6.1 firmware? Thank you
did you contact distributor
The distributor was Digi-Key utilizing the dev kit. I will reach out to them. But will this firware be available on the sierrawireless firmware download page? (https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/hl781x-and-hl7845-firmware/hl781x-and-hl7845-firmware/#sthash.fyG8LcdG.ouh1935j.dpbs)
maybe you need to wait for some time
Thank you. I have updated to the latest firmware 6.1. However, I am still unable to send a UDP packet when connected via NTN? I have tried on more than one module with the same result. I am using the guide from the AT Commands Appendix: A.6 How to Use UDP Specific Commands:
AT+CREG?
+CREG: 0,5
OK
OK&K3
OK
AT+KCNXCFG=1,“GPRS”,“APN”
OK
AT+KUDPCFG=1,0
ERROR
Is this module compatible with UDP when in NTN mode? Both of the carriers I 've been using, monogoto and emnify, require data sent via UDP. They will not support Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD)
I tried these commands and they worked! I successfully transmitted a udp packet via ntn. However, these commands are not in the at command manual? Can you advise if this is the correct way and explain why they aren’t in the at command manual? I copied these from examples given by monogoto. I have left out the responses. Are these commands talking directly to the Altair chip in the HL7810 module?
AT%SOCKETCMD=“ALLOCATE”,1,“UDP”,“OPEN”,“34.192.142.126”,7,12345
AT%SOCKETCMD=“SETOPT”,1,36000,1
AT%SOCKETCMD=“ACTIVATE”,1
AT%SOCKETDATA=“SEND”,1,13,“48656C6C6F2C20776F726C6421”
AT%SOCKETCMD=“INFO”,1
AT%SOCKETCMD=“DELETE”,1
did you follow “41114876 HL781x NTN Getting Started Guide r2.pdf” in section “2.3.1 AT Commands Setup”?
Yes I did except I used the apn for Monogoto instead of non-ip. Regardless, the only thing that worked was to use at commands not found in the documentation.
I tested this guide, it should works also with native UDP Semtech AT commands per you have in the AT commands user guide.
