Is this their entry for the World’s Least Helpful Diagnostic contest?!
Surely, there must be some diagnostics somewhere that show exactly what the PPC sent to the modem, what it received from the modem, and where the problem was?!
(like Windoze has a logging option on the ‘Diagnostics’ tab of the Modem Properties)
Yes - with the standard GSM extensions, and some Wavecom-specific extensions.
Are you sure that the speed, etc, are correctly set?
As an update to my original question, I have got this working with a variation of the steps I listed. i.e.:
set up the connection on Pocket PC as described, except do not specifiy the at+cgdcont=1,“IP”,“apn.here” in the advanced tab.
the connection (still as ‘Hayes Compatible on COM1’) should just supply the user name and password, and the phone no. as 99**#1.
I then stored the APN directly on the modem by issuing the command via hyperterminal.
So, I have had to do some configuration directly on the modem, but I can now control it via a phonebook entry on the device.
I’d prefer not to have to touch the modems, and supply the APN in the connection, but can’t get it to work. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d appreciate them.
I was just coming back to reply that I have now got it working with the APN string in the connection setup. This is without the AT prefix, so yes, possibly that’s what I had done wrong previously.
In any case, it is now working without setup on the modem.
Except, that is, setting the baud rate to 115200 via hyperterminal, as I believe this modem will not autobaud to that rate. Am I correct?
Also, to test this all, I want to wipe all settings from the modem’s memory, but using the AT&F command doesn’t seem to do this. It doesn’t clear the APN setting anyway. Any suggestions?
