Quectel EC25 PPP connect Failure

Mahesh_Aradhya · February 4, 2020, 1:38pm

Hello,
I am developing a Modem Driver for our company’s Linux Remote Monitoring Device.
I have followed the steps mentioned in the document Quectel_EC25&EC21_PPP_Application_Note_V1.0.pdf

But I am still unable to connect to the Network, as no pppd or chat PID are getting created and ppp0 is also not found in ifconfig

I am getting Connect Script Failed with Status = 0x03

Here are the logs for the same:-
abort on (BUSY)
abort on (NO CARRIER)
abort on (NO DIALTONE)
abort on (ERROR)
abort on (NO ANSWER)
timeout set to 30 seconds
send (AT^M)
expect (OK)
alarm
Failed

Dear Mahesh,
Thanks for your inquiry in Quectel forum. About your issue, please make sure the following contents:
1.please make sure you already install module’s USB driver success in your Linux system, the following is the user guide;
Quectel_WCDMA&LTE_Linux_USB_Driver_User_Guide_V1.8.pdf (1.1 MB)
2.you use the right port USB Modem port to do PPP dial up;
3.please make sure the module already register on network before you make a PPP dial up, you can use AT+COPS?, AT+CEREG?, AT+CSQ to confirm it;
4.please make sure whether you use the ppp script that Quectel provider or yourself script.

Dear Kyson,
Thank you for your quick response.
I am really sorry for not being clear in my doubt.

I am using the Serial Port for the Modem, not USB.
I am using the same SCRIPT files which are explained in the Quectel Document.
Configuring the Modem to detect the SIM, GPRS attach and Network Register everything has been done by using the AT commands.

Documents used to Configure the Modem:-

EC25 ATC_AT+QGPIOx_V0.1_20160826 - Preliminary.pdf
Quectel_EC25&EC21_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.3.pdf
Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_TCP(IP)_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.0.pdf
Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_HTTP(S)_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.0.pdf

I am attaching the logs done for the Modem:-

User Inputs:-
Bauad Rate = 115200
Flow Control = 0
Stop Bits = 1
Parity Bits = 0
APN User Name:- abc
APN User Password:- 123
Network APN Name:- airtelgprs.com

Kyson · February 6, 2020, 3:46am

Dear Mahesh,
Please do not send ATD command when you call PPP script, you can check the module status with AT command firstly, after confirm the module is ok, then call PPP script to do PPP dial up. Thanks!

I tried what you have suggested and after that, I am running the script.

Dear Mahesh,
Just as you have said that if you do not send ATD command and just call the PPP script, it can dial up successful and can get the IP address as the following(ppp0). It is normal. After you get the IP address, you can access the internet.

After that you issue is can not kill pppd process ? Whether my understanding is right?
you can try to use the following command to kill pppd process. Thanks!

You can see from the log that it was connected for 29 min. And it got disconnected automatically.
During that 29 min, even though ppp0 was available in ifconfig, the Internet was not accessible.

Kyson · February 6, 2020, 10:19am

Dear Mahesh,
Please confirm whether it is must disconnect after a certain amount of time, like you said 29 minutes. If it is, it is better to confirm whether there have any limit of the SIM card or the network.
And you can try to access the internet all the time to confirm whether there still have such issue, and also can try whether it can restore by itself or you must kill the pppD process then call again. Thanks!
By the way, you also can forbiden eth0 to have a try. Thanks!

Mahesh_Aradhya · February 6, 2020, 10:46am

Dear Kyson,
All I am trying to do is to Connect the Modem using the serial port to the Internet using pppd, which is not happening even with following all the given documents.

pppd and chat script are not running for a long time. I have already shared with you the logs.
I am sharing it here again. Please go through it and help me out to fix this.

Dear Kyson,
The company I am working in is going to use this Modem in its Products, which will be more than 1000 Modem Requirements from you guys.
So, can you Please help me out here to make this Modem work?

Kyson · February 7, 2020, 8:51am

Dear Mahesh,
From the log you provide, we just can judge that the module have not dial up successful, because, it have not get the DNS address. So please help to double check the following information:
1.Use the following command to save the ppp log:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
2. Check the IP:
ifconfig
3. check the route, if PPP0 is not defalut route, you should add it, do not forget to ifconfig down eth0
route
4.Modify DNS setting file：
/etc /resolv.conf
Examples：
/system/etc/ppp # vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

If all the above confirmation still cannot solve your issue, it is better to send email to support@quectel.com to get local support. You know if you want to order our module, you still need to contact our local FAE or sales. Thanks

Mahesh_Aradhya · February 7, 2020, 2:52pm

Hello Kyson,
Thank you for the information.
I made the PPP0 as default route, Modem got connected to the Network and was able to ping to the URLs with resolv.conf file just the way by given by you.

Is there any way to make the resolv.conf file to get updated automatically by detecting the network , without making the changes to the file Manually?

Kyson · February 8, 2020, 2:09am

Dear Mahesh,
Thanks for your update, i am glad to hear the good news.
Normally, it is no need to modify the resolv.conf file manually, it should have automatically. But some system may need have such issue, you may just need to modify one time, no need to modify again even restart your system. Please note it is the system issue, we just can solve it with such method. Thanks!

Hello Kyson,

Are the DNS server IPs dependent on the Country region?
Are the DNS server IPs dependent on the SIM Networks which we are using?

Or is it Universal in both the conditions?

Kyson · February 10, 2020, 1:25pm

Dear Mahesh,
1.it is the network software configuration, normally it depends on the network supplier.
2.as you know, there are two kinds of DNS server, one is common DNS server, the other one is provid by the operator. So, it is hard to say it is dependent on the SIM network or not. Thanks!

Mahesh_Aradhya · February 14, 2020, 1:47pm

Dear Kyson,
pppd part I have completed and thanks for your support on that.

Now I am working on the SMS part.
Can you please explain the difference between the below:-

“SM” - (U)SIM message storage
“ME” - Mobile equipment message storage
“MT” - Same as “ME” storage

And what is the Maximum Size for One Message? as the Number of messages can be stored is given as 255 in the below.

AT+CPMS?
+CPMS: “ME”,0,255,“ME”,0,255,“ME”,0,255

Mahesh_Aradhya · February 14, 2020, 1:56pm

and also what are mem1, mem2 and mem3 related to SIM SMS Memory??

Kyson · February 17, 2020, 2:00am

Dear Mahesh,
If it is different question, it is better to raise a new topic.
For your question, please know that SM means that the SMS message can store at USIM memory, and ME or MT means that the SMS message can be store at module or your system memory except USM memory.
And the max size of one SMS message is 160 character in GSM coding, and 140 character in 8bit coding, and 70 character in UCS2 coding. Thanks!
About AT+CPMS? command,please check the following explanation. Thanks!
