+CSCON: displayed on console

[Jeff Seaman]

I am using the nRF9160 for IOT with the console connected on UART 0 there is a string of +CSCON: 1 and +CSCON: 0 messages displayed.

Build Zephyr 1.5.1

Modem firmware: 1.2.0

This is showing the connection status of the modem which is useful information, however I am using the console for development and possible advanced service in the field and the messages to tend to fill the screen, MQTT keep alive activity.

Is there a way to disable the printing of these messages.

It would be Ideal to turn them on and off while the device is operating.

Jeff,

 

The auto notifications from CSCON can be enabled or disabled with AT+CSCON command.

AT+CSCON=0 will disable notifications.

 

It is purely an indication to on Idle/connected status to the tower. If you are monitoring the power consumption you will see the higher power consumption when CSCON=1 and low power when CSCON=0.

 

You can look here for the latest on at commands. https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nrf91_at_commands_v1.7.pdf
