Hi

I have word from my distributor that multiple resets(I believe it is seven) in a certain amount of time will cause the Open AT app to stop completely. The only way of recovering such a unit is through a hardware power reset.

Any info on this will help?

Thanks  
Charl

I stumbled upon this only the other day!

This is pointless if you do not use IDS. Just one more thing to go wrong.

Ahh ok thanks.

On another note…what about temperature? If the modem reaches a maximum temperature, does it reset or switch off for safety? Does the OpenAT app recover once the temperature has stabilized?

No - if you needed such protection, you would have to provide it yourself in your app (or externally)

I take that back!

See: AT+WTMR in the AT Commands manual…
