RE: Serial LTE Modem TCP/IP Example

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the update. I tested data mode and it seems work on LTE Link Monitor. Just ignore the timed-out reminder since it does not give a response on data mode before end with +++

We do not provide such a server for test. You need to build your own with python or other script languages. There are also TCP server apps that can directly run on your PC. You need to make sure the server is exposed to the internet with a Public IP and stop the server when you do not use it for security reasons.

Best regards,

Charlie

Thank you for the reply.

My local FAE suggested I try using a standard terminal program instead of LTE Link Monitor to send the AT Commands, and this worked. Link Monitor would get hung up after I would send AT#XSEND, and the +++ command could not get it out of of data mode.

Now that it is functioning properly, does Nordic have a TCP server that echos data sent to it, or is there a public one that you know of?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I suggest you use the latest release version like the current Welcome to the nRF Connect SDK! — nRF Connect SDK 2.0.2 documentation (nordicsemi.com) instead of 2.0.99, which is the main branch still under development and maybe not very stale until it is well tested before formal release.

[quote user=""]First thing I notice is AT#XSLMVER returns 2.0.2 instead of 1.5 in the example. [/quote]

It is just a demonstration to show how this command will work. You can find its implementation in nrf\applications\serial_lte_modem\src\slm_at_commands.c. It will actually use the NCS version, which is the latest released NCS v2.0.2 in your case.

sprintf(rsp_buf, "\r\n#XSLMVER: %s\r\n",
	STRINGIFY(NCS_VERSION_STRING));

[quote user=""]

When I try AT#XSOCKET=1,1,0 it returns XSOCKET: 0,1,6 instead of 1,1,0,6 in the example.

AT#XSSOCKET? returns 0,1,0 instead of 1,6,0.

[/quote]

I agree with you it is a bit misleading. I will inquire with the developer if they forget to update it or due to something else. You can refer directly to Socket AT commands — nRF Connect SDK 2.0.2 documentation (nordicsemi.com) and the replies you got look well.

[quote user=""]

I do get the expected OK response from AT#XSOCKETOPT=1,20,60

The rest of the example trying to connect to port 80 of google.com does not seem to work.

Can you descript how did you do your test? is there any information returned back?
I did a quick test based on the SLM application NCS2.0.0(NCS2.0.2 has no update on this sample according to the release note) and everything seems fine. Please see the log file from my LTE Link Monitor.
