Hello there 8-) I've brought a GSM modem and config everything I could find from the Doc.and once I trigger the SMS alert, the IPmonitor sent a SMS to my mobile properly .but after that, the SMS alert never worked again. 8-( I've checked other post on the forum, and also change the bit rate to 115200. my GSM MODEM is using the chipset WAVECOM Q2403A which compatible with GSM Phase2 / 2+ I could use AT command to sent message from the GSM MODEM.so seems the GSM modem should not have any problem. BTW: coud you give me a more detailed configuration guide for how to connect a GSM MODEM ? or where I could got more debug message ?thanks in advance.

WAVECOM GSM Modem not work .

Hello there 8-)

I've brought a GSM modem and config everything I could find from the Doc.and once I trigger the SMS alert, the IPmonitor sent a SMS to my mobile properly .but after that, the SMS alert never worked again. 8-(

I've checked other post on the forum, and also change the bit rate to 115200.

my GSM MODEM is using the chipset WAVECOM Q2403A which compatible with GSM Phase2 / 2+
I could use AT command to sent message from the GSM MODEM.so seems the GSM modem should not have any problem.

BTW: coud you give me a more detailed configuration guide for how to connect a GSM MODEM ? or where I could got more debug message ?

thanks in advance.

Ricky with 8-)

below is the log I've got when I force a test.

Hello Ricky,

Wavecom should work, and it would appear that your modem is correctly configured. The list of AT commands ipMonitor is sending to the modem is to try and find a baud rate + framing + parity bits that your modem will respond on. It's looking for an "OK" but doesn't find one. This log is what we have available to debug with, and it's been a reasonably good tool thus far. It could use some improvements though, but we developers can figure out lots of stuff.

I've seen this sort of thing a GPRS modem, where the user wasn't aware that his modem was being kicked in to provide an internet connection (removing the ability to send sms messages while doing so). I don't think this is the case.

Before we kick this to our technical support, perhaps we can just try here on the forum a lower baud rate. Can you please try this in HyperTerminal (it will set your modem to want 38400 8N1 with hardware flow control, on power up)?

AT&F
AT+IPR=38400
AT+ICF=3,4
AT+IFC=2,2
AT&W

Next, close HyperTerminal and then reconfigure the Alert to use 38400 and 8N1

Finally, try another a Force Test of your Alert and post your findings?

========================

weird thing is it use to worked once (and only once,I still have the message in my mobile),but just after one weekend, it's totally not work at all.

I've also tried 9600 but still not work.

BTW: you've mentioned "...Alert to use 38400 and 8N1",so I could set the baud to 38400, 8 bit and none parity,but what is the "1" mean ? how could I set the "1" in the IPmonitor side ?

Regards

Ricky with 8-)

Peter.Cooper

Hello Ricky,

ipMonitor assumes that people want 1 stop bit and the modem to have 1 stop bit... so something else is going on. Are you an evaluator, or do you have an active maintenance plan? Depending on which avenue, I'd like to see your case get resolved off the forums (and then post back with the findings) and appropriate settings.

ricky.zhang

Hi Peter 8-)

Thanks for the interpretation,so I don't need to worry about the "1". I still didn't get it work properly,but I will try to make it out.and of course, if I finally (or luckily) make it work again, I'm sure I'll post my findings here.

thanks anyway for your help.

Regards

Ricky with 8-)

Hi,Peter:

I have the same problem!

Our company bought your products ipmoniter9 before, we got some problems when we tested Alert function, when we used GSM MODEM (interface: RS-232C/USB; communication module: WAVECOM GSM 900/1800) to send SMS to mobile, there’s error happened below:

Action Error: The outbound alert message did not reach its destination. The test failed.

Through debugging the parameter config many times, we found some problems below:

1. We can send SMS through utilizing MS HyperTerminal (9600,8,0,1) debug successfully, and also we can send SMS through utilizing GSM MODEM software (The Sms Cat Software) successfully.

2. Generally we can find four options including bps, data bits, Parity, Stop bits in SMS plating ports config options, however, here we only find three options like Baud, Data Bits, Parity in Action Parameters of ipmoniter. That means we can not find Stop bits option properly. What’s the problem?

Could you please advise and help us to solve above problems? Thank you very much.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you soon.

WAVECOM MODEM request:
any AT command issued by DTE must start with a capital ‘A’ and ‘T’(or ‘\’). If not, DCE may send back some garbage characters and getde-synchronized. Shoud it happen, DTE shall just issue once or twice‘AT\r’ (at 2400 or 4800 baud) or just ‘AT’ (at 9600 baud) to get themodem re-synchronized.· the DTE shall wait for 1ms after receiving the last character of the ATresponse (which is always ‘\n’ or 0x0A) to send a new AT command ateither the same rate or a new rate. Shoud this delay ignored, DCE canget de-synchronised. Once again, sending once or twice ‘AT\r’ or just‘AT’ causes the DCE to recover.
