We are using Q2438 module in our linux based embedded device.
We are able to successfully setup PPP connection with Verizon (using linux PPP daemon), however after 0.2 mins it gets disconnected. Please see PPP daemon logs below. The protocol activity log from Verizon indicates that after successful PPP connection with PDSN and successful MIP registration, modem sends MIP deregistration request to the network, which then terminates the PPP connection.
If we send data on this connection, then it remains up. Is there any PPP/data inactivity timer inside Q2438 module ? if yes, how to set it ?
Thanks.
pppd call Verizon
