"answerphone" service when it is turned off this is almost certainly the
problem.
If you manually dial the number with a phone and hear a buzzing noise rather
than modem negotiation tones (beep and whistles) the SIM is configured to
accept incoming digital (UDI) calls only - contact the SIM supplier.
11.3 GPRS Fault finding
– when using the logger TCP/IP stack
11.3.1 First stage fault finding
The diagnostics screen of the Mobile Data Assistant package allows you to check
the basic connection of the modem to the GSM network and also to get a measure
of the signal strength the modem is seeing, which is a useful tool for antenna
positioning. The IP address of the modem will normally be shown as no IP as this
relates an IP assigned to the modem when running its own TCP/IP stack.
There is no external feedback provided by the datalogger of the state of the PPP
connection, e.g. an LED indicator (although this could be done if required by
including code in your logger program and an LED to a control port). There are
some other methods of checking if a connection has at least been established. The
simplest of these is to connect a PC to the other spare serial port on the datalogger
(CS I/O or RS232 depending on which interface is used for the modem, and
presuming you have a compatible cable/interface). Run the Device Configuration
program screen, connect to the datalogger and use the data monitor tab to view the
status table, which is updated every few seconds. Scroll down to view the IPInfo
values. If the ppp IP field is 0.0.0.0 there is no active connection. If valid IP
addresses are shown a connection has been made, as in the example below.
If the IP address shown above stays at 0.0.0.0, here are some basic checkpoints to
follow:
Check the cabling to the logger, power supply and aerial. Check the
modem is powered and on network (there is normally an LED which
flashes slowly to indicate this). If the LED is on permanently then check
the SIM card is inserted correctly and the retaining switch is clicked
