You get the changes as below and 5 pages more. Your FW is much older. You will get a lot of changes on top. If you drop me an emal to harald.naumann (at) lte-modem.com, then I will add you to my list and help with news and services around NB-IoT.
Hi, My name is Olle and I have been using a handful of BG96 based modem incorporated in Libelium measurement systems running NB-IoT for a year and a half now. Unfortunately the old trusty software does not work as well as it should with the latest batch of measurement stations. Particularly I/we are having problems with erratic response to PDP activation (AT+QIACT), and subsequent loss of connectivity.
The BG96 rev-id of the older (and perfectly working modules) is: G96MAR02A08M1G_01.009.01.00909
while the erratic ones have rev-id: G96MAR03A06M1G_01.005.01.00505.
Can someone please tell me if there is a workaround for this problem?
