Hi I’m hoping some maybe able to advise on a problem I have using the wavecom 1208B modem and activeSMS The setup is that this modem receives text messages then the activeSMS takes the information and dumps it into an SQL DB The issue I have is that the modem will process some text messages then just stop with the following information 6/09/18 08:31:48 - RX: ATERROR 26/09/18 08:31:48 - EX: Protocol Exception raisedFunction: CATDevice::ResetConnectionDescription: AT command retruned ERRORHResult: -2147467259 26/09/18 08:31:48 - TR: CATTransport::ResetConnection - General Exception (AT command retruned ERROR) 26/09/18 08:31:48 - TR: CATTransport::ResetConnection - Enter 26/09/18 08:31:59 - TX: ATE1 26/09/18 08:31:59 - RX: ATE1ERROR 26/09/18 08:31:59 - TX: AT+CG 26/09/18 08:31:59 - RX: A 26/09/18 08:31:59 - RX: T+CG 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TX: MI 26/09/18 08:32:00 - RX: MIERROR 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TR: Device: 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TR: Using Default device settings 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TX: AT&F 26/09/18 08:32:00 - RX: AT&FERROR 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TX: AT 26/09/18 08:32:00 - RX: ATERROR 26/09/18 08:32:00 - EX: Protocol Exception raisedFunction: CATDevice::ResetConnectionDescription: AT command retruned ERRORHResult: -2147467259 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TR: CATTransport::ResetConnection - General Exception (AT command retruned ERROR) 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TX: AT 26/09/18 08:32:00 - RX: ATERROR 26/09/18 08:32:00 - EX: Protocol Exception raisedFunction: CATDevice::TestConnectionDescription: AT command retruned ERRORHResult: -2147467259 26/09/18 08:32:00 - IF: Port closed 26/09/18 08:32:00 - TR: CATTransport::Connect - General Exception (AT command retruned ERROR) power cycling the modem then allows it to process a few more then it stops again The current setup is 9600,8,N.1 no flow control, I did read somewhere that the wavecom modem supports auto baud, but I’m not sure if that is set, Or should it be set but to a higher baud rate than being used ? any help appreciated PhilS ---

@PhilS18, Auto baud is not recommended as it can be unreliable in operation, I would generically recommend hard setting the unit to 115200bps and not 9600. Re ‘ActiveSMS’ is this a PC package/tool you are using? Key point, as with all modems is that you need to wait for the response to the previous command before trying to execute the next one, especially in older modems as the firmware might not have been particularily robust.

Hi Matt Thanks for the information, don’t suppose the commands to set the baud rate on the wavecom ? ---

@PhilS18, Do you mean what is the command to set he baud rate? If so then it is at+ipr=115200 as normal 3GPP specifications/all of the old and new units. You might need to send at&w afterwards as I do not know if this is automatically saved in flash. Regards Matt ---

Hi Matt Thanks for suppling the command, I have now set the baud to 115200, , Just have to wait and see how long it is be for it stops responding if it stops responding now ---

This is very Strange, it looks like the modem keeps reverting the settings to default, even though I have set the baud rate, is there a command to stop this from happening ? Phil ---

@PhilS18, So at&w should do it if it is not done automatically but if you end up sending at&f it will set it back. The unit is extremely old so difficult to predict (from a documentation/testing it point of view, it will behave consistently). Regards Matt
