EHS5: Question about AT^SMONI response | Telit Cinterion IoT Developer Community
December 15, 2015 - 5:13pm, 4247 views
Could I get some more information about the responses from AT^SMONI when connected("camping") a 2G cell with an EHS5; specifically, the 'GPRS state'?
There is no description of this in the documentation except an example which gives a value of 'G':
ME is camping on a GSM (2G) cell:
- - -
Syntax:
^SMONI: ACT,ARFCN,BCCH,MCC,MNC,LAC,cell,C1,C2,NCC,BCC,GPRS,ARFCN,TS,timAdv,dBm,Q,ChMod
Example:
^SMONI: 2G,71,-61,262,02,0143,83BA,33,33,3,6,G,NOCONN
When I use the command locally, I get a response of 'E'.
On the BGS2, there is a command "AT^SMONG" which also gives you the GPRS status:
BCCH G PBCCH PAT MCC MNC NOM TA RAC # Cell #
0637 1 - 4 234 05 2 00 0B
G GPRS status:
0 GPRS not available in currently used cell
1 GPRS available in currently used cell
2 GPRS attached
This is obviously not the same output. Is there any further information on what these 'E','G', or other values mean?
Thank You
Hi,
E means EDGE, also a 2G technology

Hi,
Using Cinterion EHS6T USB device. I executed AT^SMONI command response below,
^SMONI: 3G,437,312,-4.0,-86,302,720,CF35,0123699,20,15,NOCONN
"NOCONN" means no connection, so is there a network connection problem?
Connecting EHS6T device to PI for connectivity, but not able to connect to PI. Is there anyway or AT command to figure out the problem. Let me know.
Thank you,
Gautham
Hi,
please describe your problems more precise - your module seems to be registered in 3G but I don't know what connection issue you have ...
Best regards

Hi,
I am new and want to know, how to connect to Cinterion EHS6T USB device? do I need to follow any steps, if yes let me know.
Thank you,

Hi,
I will help you with pleasure but I don't know how your configuration looks like and what you would like to achieve . What do you mean by PI ? Rasbery Pi ? Please describe all configuration and wanted use case ...
Best regards

Hi,
Sorry, for the incomplete description.
I am using EHS6t USB variant Gemalto device with valid SIM. Connected Gemalto with Raspberry Pi, Gemalto is detected and using minicom, able to send AT commands and receive response. But device is not getting connected to cellular network. Below are commands I tried and their and responses,
AT
OK
AT^SMONI
^SMONI: 3G,437,312,-3.0,-89,302,720,CF35,0123699,21,12,NOCONN
OK
Next tried to setup and read internet connection profile parameters,
AT^SICS=0,conType,GPRS0
OK
AT^SICS=0,apn,"<APN STRING>" ------> is this string case sensitive?
OK
AT^SICS?
^SICS: 0,"conType","GPRS0"
^SICS: 0,"apn","<APN SRING>"
^SICS: 0,"dns1","0.0.0.0"
^SICS: 1,"conType",""
^SICS: 2,"conType",""
^SICS: 3,"conType",""
^SICS: 4,"conType",""
^SICS: 5,"conType",""
OK
AT^SICI?
^SICI: 0,0,0,"0.0.0.0"
OK
AT^SICI=0
^SICI: 0,0,0,"0.0.0.0"
OK
As per the above (AT^SICI*) commands response, the internet connection profile is "Down".
So, I am stuck at this point and do not know how to proceed further in order to setup internet connection profile.
Help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,

Hello,
The command AT^SICS can be used to setup the internet profile for IP services over AT commands where you setup each connection to remote host with AT commands.
I suppose that you probably would like to just use the module as a modem for your Raspberry PI. Then you need to setup the dialup connection and there must be some program for raspberry that would do it automatically. You need to define the PDP context with AT+CGDCONT command, configure the authentication type with AT^SGAUTH command and dial-in with ATD*99# command (ATD*99***1# where 1 is the context number defined with AT+CGDCONT). Then PPP stack implementation is needed to setup the connection.
