MBPL - sampleApps - how to Set/Report PDP connection authentication parameters

IoT Modules MC/EM Series

Hi
In the UK we have a lot of users who require PAP or CHAP authentication.

Is there a way to use the sample app to replicate the AT+CGAUTH / AT$QCPDPP commands?

Many thanks

John

Have you tried option 7 of SampleApps\lite-qmi-connection-manager ?


Please select one of the following options or press <Enter> to exit:

1. Start data session

2. Start Multiple PDN data session

3. Stop the currently active data session

4. Display all the profiles stored on the device

5. Display the settings for a particular profile stored on the device

6. Create a profile on the device

7. Modify the settings of an existing profile stored on the device

8. Delete a profile stored on the device

9. Enable QOS Event

10. Disable QOS Event

11. Request QOS Expaded

12. Get QOS Information

13. Get Packet Statistics

BTW, you might also send AT command via /dev/ttyUSB2 inside the application
