Hi to all!!, im using in my project the wip\_bearerStart funtion and never returns 0 (this would be the OK value), instead it returns WIP\_BERR\_OK\_INPROGRESS. The strange thing is that later it really connects with the server.

It is something usual to happend o perhaps im doing something else that i dont realize to make the connection?.

Thank you for advance.  
Best Regards.

The clue is in the name: WIP\_BERR_OK_INPROGRESS ❗

No, that’s not strange at all - it is perfectly normal behaviour!

See the description of the WIP\_BERR_OK_INPROGRESS code in the WIP documentation.

Thanks for your reply, i suspected that.

But, if u go to the 53 page of the wip manual its said that other value that its NON ZERO its an ERROR VALUE. Thats why i was doubting about this issue.

Thanks again!!!.

Unfortunately, that is typical of Wavecom documentation ❗😠
