Hi, I’ve got a Q64 running v7.4 firmware and with the GR plug in. I’m trying to use the CGREG=2 command to give me unsolicited messages about changes in state on the GPRS network. The Q64 accepts the command, and will show the correct information if I type AT+CGREG?, but I don’t get the unsolicited messages. It seems that if I stop the Open AT embedded application using AT+WOPEN=0, I do get the unsolicited messages. I haven’t loaded an embedded application to the Q64, so why would it make this difference? Is the embedded application actually the GR plug in? Thanks Andrew ---

Thanks for clearing this up. Do you have any idea why the unsolicited messages might not be generated when the GR plug in is running? Regards Andrew ---

Because Open-AT “traps” them for its own purposes. ---

OK, I see. Is the only way of detecting connection and disconnection from the GPRS network to use the +WIND command and use the NITZ information? I get a WIND 15 event when it connects to GPRS, but I don’t seem to get anything when it disconnects. Is there a better way of doing this? Andrew ---

Not knowing your application, it’s impossible to say what’s “better” for the particular requirements of your particular application! Hence you really should be discussing this with your Distributor or FAE - where you will be able to go into the full details of your situation…
