Trouble with WS6318 and SNTP over UDP

Hello all,

I’m trying to get a response from a NTP server using a UDP socket on the WS6318.
No response is coming, and I’ve already verified the validity of the SNTP packet I’m sending to the server, so
it looks as if I’m doing something wrong.
Here is the series of AT commands I’m using: (I prefixed everything I’m sending with a ‘>’)

ATI
WS6318

OK

AT+CMEE=1

OK

AT+WIPCFG=1

OK

AT+WIPBR=1,6

OK

AT+WIPBR=2,6,11,“internet.proximus.be”

OK

AT+WIPBR=2,6,0,“”

OK

AT+WIPBR=2,6,1,“”

OK

AT+WIPBR=4,6,0

OK

AT+WIPCREATE=1,1,10000,“at.pool.ntp.org”,123

OK

+WIPREADY: 1,1

AT+WIPDATA=1,1,2

CONNECT

now I send 48 bytes of data (the NTP packet) over the USART

[wait one second]
+++
[wait one second]

OK

AT+WIPDATA?

here is my problem: I’m expecting an unsolicited response
+WIPDATA: ,,,,
but none is ever received (even after waiting more than 10 sec)
what am I doing wrong? Is it correct to expect a response on the same
socket, UDP being a connectionless protocol?

AT+WIPCLOSE=1,1

OK

AT+WIPBR=5,6

OK

AT+WIPBR=0,6

OK

AT+WIPCFG=0

OK

I would be grateful if someone could have a look at this,

Hello,

I’m thinking the problem may actually lie in the way I use the serial port. I do not use any flow control. Does anyone know this is necessary?

Thank,
Marleen

Hi, i am not using flow control also and it is OK.
You should receive unsolicited +WIPDATA response in less than a second if the server response properly. But you will be receiving anything only from the same IP you paired UDP connection and the same ports.
