Attach LTE-M issue with NRF9160 modem

[Adil]

I have successfully installed the drivers and downloaded the latest firmware version, but the connexion fails and I can not use the AT interfaces command for the modem controller as you can see in the screenshot below, can you please help me to fixe this issue

Hello, 

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear about the issue. 

Are you working with the nRF9160 DK or Thingy:91? Have you programmed the latest version of the Asset Tracker, or the AT Client? Can you please take me through the steps you have followed?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Adil, 

Good to hear you got it running.

 AT+NPING is not a supported command. Please refer to the AT Command Reference Guide. 

Kind regards,

Hi,

i don't find in the reference shared the command AT for Ping, can you please share the right command AT?

Thanks and Regards,

Adil

Adil, 

Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to achieve?

The Asset Tracker and AT Client support the AT Commands listed in the reference guide. There is no PING command in this list. There is another alternative using the Serial LTE Modem. 

In our nRF Connect SDK there are several samples that you can look at as well. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Bonjour,

Je veux juste faire un ping test vers l’adresse public google 8.8.8.8, le module s’attach bien à notre réseau Orange, mais je n’arrive pas faire la Data, il y a moyen de faire speedtest?

Merci

Cordialement,

Adil

You could have a look at the Modem Shell sample, available in the NCS v1.6.0-rc2 tag. This sample includes a ping function:

mosh:~$ ping
Usage: ping [optional options] -d destination

mandatory options:
  -d, --destination, [str] Name or IP address
optional options:
  -t, --timeout, [int]     Ping timeout in milliseconds
  -c, --count, [int]       The number of times to send the ping request
  -i, --interval, [int]    Interval between successive packet transmissions
                           in milliseconds
  -l, --length, [int]      Payload length to be sent
  -I, --cid, [int]         Use this option to bind pinging to specific CID.
                           See link cmd for interfaces
  -6, --ipv6,              Force IPv6 usage with the dual stack interfaces
  -h, --help,              Shows this help information

And iperf

mosh:~$ iperf3 --manual
Usage: iperf3 [-s|-c host] [options]
       iperf3 [-m|--manual] [-v|--version]

Server or Client:
  -p, --port      #         server port to listen on/connect to
  -f, --format   [kmgtKMGT] format to report: Kbits, Mbits, Gbits, Tbits
  -i, --interval  #         seconds between periodic throughput reports
  -B, --bind      <host>    bind to the interface associated with the address <host>
  -V, --verbose             more detailed output
  -J, --json                output in JSON format
  -d, --debug               emit debugging output

  -1, --one-off             handle one client connection then exit

Client specific:
  -c, --client    <host>    run in client mode, connecting to <host>
  -u, --udp                 use UDP rather than TCP

  -b, --bitrate #[KMG][/#]  target bitrate in bits/sec (0 for unlimited)
                            (default 1 Mbit/sec for UDP, unlimited for TCP)
                            (optional slash and packet count for burst mode)
  -t, --time      #         time in seconds to transmit for (default 10 secs)
  -n, --bytes     #[KMG]    number of bytes to transmit (instead of -t)
