Hi.

Unfortunately no, there is no way to ping using AT commands at the moment, I don't know if there is any plans to implement this in the future, you have to ask your RSM aboutt that.

Best regards,

Andreas

OK,

This is specifically for radio antenna testing.

We are following the Verizon guidelines for certifying a cellular device with them. One of their requirements is using AT commands to ping a known endpoint. Is there any way to do anything like this via AT Commands?

Also, is there any plan to add more AT Commands in the future? Maybe one that would do something like this.

Hi Jack.

There isn't any AT Command for pinging a specific IP Address implemented at this moment. I would recommend that you do the pinging by using sockets, look at the header file ncs\nrfxlib\bsdlib\include\nrf_socket.h and this tutorial. There also isn't any AT Command for HTTP Get Request at the moment, but you can take a look at the http sample found in samples/nrf9160/http.

Best regards,

Andreas
