5.2
FALCOM.INI
Please notice that because of the great variety of GSM-functions the
software will always be incomplete. But using the possibilities offered by
the
falcom.ini
file the user could expand the amount of commands available
in the terminal window. By changing the contents please do never change
the structure of the falcom.ini file. There is a sample file in picture 8 in the
test software appendix.
Also in the falcom.ini file the user could set parameters like the service
centre number or an initialisation string for the modem.
Note:
If you are not sure that the file is valid anymore after changing,
you may delete it and start the
FALCOM-A2.EXE
to create a
new one (it will include standard parameters only).
5.3
FALCOM.EXE
After starting the program some requests were set automatically by the
system, i.e. field strength and registration status. The actual service centre
number is taken from the ini file:
[SMS-Service-Center-Nr]
à
at+csca=”00491722270000”
"00491722270000"
(number is for german D2 net only)
The service centre number could be investigated by using the “read CSCA”
button in the SMS-Call window. The program will then read out the SIM
card concerning the service centre number.
After 5 unsuccessful attempts to connect to the module the software will
show an error message like this:
