  • I'm trying to connect to the Bell-Jasper network in Canada but am unable to get the "at_client" application on the nRF9160DK to progress past the blinking LTE indicator of the "LTE Link Monitor" desktop application.   In the package that Bell sent was included an APN address, however I do not know how to use it.  The AT command doc has a section describing packet domain commands that include an APN address.  Do I need to use these commands to connect with their LTE network?

    I tried "AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP", "<addr>" but no connection resulted.

    Hi AkashAT+CGDCONT? simply returns OK after I reset the DK.  Setting the AT+CGDCONT=1... doesn't help the connection.  I spoke with a Nordic tech and he said that I don't need to set the APN - it should just work.

    He also said that he had experienced differences between LTE-M SIM cards and 4G LTE SIM cards.

    Hi,

    Can you please provide us with your IMSI?  Also, which area in Canada are you trying to connect?  We tested in Montreal and Toronto.   Regards, iBasis Tech Support

    According to the Nordic FAE I've corresponded with the %XCBAND: (3,4,13,20) response is suspect - he expected to see channel 12.

    Board build is 0.8.2

    Hi Robmilne,  You will need to have band 17 opened since we have tested Telus and Bell over band 17.  Please work with Nordic Tech Support.  Kind Regards,
