Outdated AT commands?

I am trying to send a variety of AT commands to my module and it looks like I am missing something or the documentation is not up to date for some of these:

  • If I try to set up an APN with AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”, “<my operator apn>”, the response is OK (same if I use IPV4V6), however if I put a time delay then try AT+CGDCONT?, the PDP context is visible but the IP address is never set up. When working on a previous board from another constructor with the same SIM, there used to be several PDP contexts with the same APN and the correct IP, and also another one which was a temporary one in order to manage the network attachment
  • The command AT+CGACT=1,1, supposed to activate the PDP context #1, raises an error as if the function itself did not exist while it is visible in the documentation
  • If I follow the tutorial to manage certificates in order to establish a connection with Azure, I struggle to interact with the credential store management. If I try the command AT%CMNG=1, I receive an error as arguments are missing (while the documentation explicitly states that arguments are optional if the opcode is 1, to list all the certificates within the board). If I add a sec_tag, I get the certificate for this tag, if any. However, AT%CMNG=2 works even without an additional sec_tag (contrarily to what is said in the documentation). I am stuck at Generate and provision device certificates. At step 2, when I enter the nrfcredstore command, I get the response “The device does not respond to AT commands. Please flash at_client sample”. However, I could pass AT commands with my custom firmware first, to try to setup only the LTE connection. If I try to flash the at_client sample, I get a build error as the file nrf_modem_lib.h is including a missing file nrf_modem.h
  • As the module will not attach to the network, some AT commands are unsuccessful (AT+COPS? returns 0, AT+CSQ? returns 99,99, AT+CEREG? returns 2,4, AT+CGATT? returns 0)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    AT+CGDCONT
    It is not clear what the customer has actually done. Has the modem be activated with CFUN=1 before requestind PDP context information?
    Device receives IP address in LTE attach procedure. When giving AT+CGDCONT? after LTE registration (CFUN=1 and related CEREG notifications) IP address should be available.

    AT+CGACT
    Is this given after modem is activated with CFUN=1? Subscribing to CME Error codes would give error cause to CGACT and help to understand what is going wrong.

    AT+CMNG
    Modem log would be needed for analyzing certificate storage problems.

     

    Is the last bullet actually answer to CGDCONT and CGACT issues. If attach fails there will not be IP address in device. Neither does additional PDN activation succeed if attach has failed.
