Alternative Commands

Some alternative commands for the GlobeTrotter NIE script

These commands can be tested in PT100 and then incorporated into your regular NIE script. Mind that the commands are untested and unverified. If you like scripting, please help yourself! I cannot and will not assist you in further scripting.

Good luck!

AT+CMEE=2 ATE1 (switches on echo-if echo was off you won't see this)

AT+CREG=1 (you get notified when logging on to GSM)

AT+CGREG=1 (you get notified when attaching onto GPRS +CGREG:1 means attached)

AT+CPIN="xxxx" (where xxxx is the PIN code ONLY when you need a PIN code)

AT+CPIN? (You should get SIM READY) AT+COPS? (should display your network)

AT+CGATT=1 (to attach)

AT+CSQ (This returns the signal strength 8 and up is good enough for voice. To do GPRS you'll need 16 or higher).

AT+CGDCONT? (In the response you should see a string in the response identical to your APN)

ATD*99# (Connects-toactually make a TCP/IP connection you need to do this from DUN)

Type AT+cpin? and press <ENTER> - If you get +CPIN : SIM PIN, you have to enter your PIN-code. You can do this as follows: Enter AT+CPIN="pincode". - If you get +CPIN : READY, the PIN-code has been entered. - If you get +CPIN : FAULT, you have to put in your SIM-card, or something is wrong with the SIM-card reader of the GlobeTrotter.
