WaveCom SMS

Post by goster »

Hello

We have a Wavecom modem and trying to get an sms out.
I have configured:
baud rate at 115200
Modem Type WaveCom
Mode PDU
PIN xxx
Service center +localnumberServiceCenter

I try to send a test SMS but I get an error stating:
Error: Cannot send message to xxxxx. GSM modem error. Error was returned: ERROR; Error : 4

thank you
best regards

What exactly modem model do you use ?
Could you try to decrease baud rate ?
Also, you may try to change Mode from PDU to TEXT.

Have you tried to send SMS using modem software ? Does it work ?

Most modems do not provide any useful diagoistics so its hard to investigate problems :(
For begining I would set baud rate to 19200

If it makes any difference the SW is installed on Win7 64 bit Home.

According to WaveCom manuals modem can return "Error: 4" when application uses AT+COPS or AT+VTS commands. But HostMonitor does not use such commands.

Could you please try test program www.ks-soft.net/download/test/GSMCenter.zip ?
Please, setup "SMS Log file" and "GSM-AT Logfile" files and try to send SMS.
Please send both log files back to us (support@ks-soft.net)?

It's working now.

The trick was I had to go to www.sierrawireless.com, register, download their software. Start the discovery tool, then reconfigure the device to use external SIM card after that it started to work.

I did a restart of the computer, Turned off all of the electricity and still works.

Thank you for the support!
Best regards
