Suggested Solution no. 1  We suggest a work around:-

  • noted down all the values of the menu item that matches the menu in your mobile phone screen, refer table below
  • when you call functions of MOBITEK STK API, you only need to pass the value of the menu item and not the text of menu item as the argument/parameter

Retour 129
Rapports 130
Option 131
Dernier trans 1 Correct -> SubMenuSelect(1)
Wrong ->  SubMenuSelect(Dernier trans)
Solde 2 SubMenuSelect(2)
Rapport jour. 3 SubMenuSelect(3)
Suggested Solution no. 2 In countries where English is not the primary language, the STK Menu may display alphanumeric string instead of English text. We provide VB.Net sample code to decode the alphanumeric string.The VB.Net Sample Code decodes the alphanumeric string into UCS2 and then decode the UCS2 to display the unicode characters. The sample code is in the MOBITEK Air-Time Reload Development Kit CD.

Example, the alphanumeric string displayed by Orange STK Menu is “810E00C4E5F2EEE9E5F220F4F2E1EEF3AE “, the VB.Net sample code will decode it and convert to “Dernier trans.”. Refer image below.

  • MOBITEK Q24 SMS MODEM will be located in Malaysia with Singapore SIM card, roaming enable, number is +65923xxxxx
  • customer in Singapore will send SMS to +65923xxxxx with message containing command to reload
  • your application will read the incoming SMS reload request from MOBITEK Q24 SMS MODEM

How does MOBTEK STK MODEM HUB, STKMH-EP432 model work?

Note: this post has been superseded by http://mobitek-system.com/blog/2015/01/how-does-mobtek-q24-stk-modem-hub-model-stkmh-ep432-c-work/

MOBITEK STK MODEM HUB

Basically, there are 4 STK MODEM in STKMH-EP432, and each of them is assigned to an IP address:-

  • modem 1 => 192.168.1.10:8001
  • modem 2 => 192.168.1.10:8002
  • modem 3 => 192.168.1.10:8003
  • modem 4 => 192.168.1.10:800

On PC side, you will need to install a virtual com port driver that will map com port to the IP address, e.g.:-

  • COM Port no. 11 => 192.168.1.10:8001
  • COM Port no. 12 => 192.168.1.10:8002
  • COM Port no. 13 => 192.168.1.10:8003
  • COM Port no. 14 => 192.168.1.10:8004

Then your Reload System/Software communicates with the COM port number, e.g.:-

  • Reload1.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload2.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload3.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload4.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14

Or if you are using multi-threading, then

  • Reload.exe => thread no. 1 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 2 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 3 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 4 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14
