How to Reset or Reboot MOBITEK S80 Modem on an Interval

  2. When MOBITEK S80 modem is reset/reboot:-
    • the state of QCOM as follows:-
      • “Close Port” button turn to “Open Port”
      • “Send Command” and “Run” buttons are greyed out
      • No command can be send out
    • the state of Red LED status as follows:-
      • stop blinking
      • turn off

TEST RESULT

TEST OBJECTIVE TESTING METHODOLOGY TEST RESULT
Can MOBITEK S80 support schedule reboot? E.g. reboot on 1 p.m. every day? Not applicable
Can MOBITEK S80 reboot every 3 minutes? AT+WRST?

+WRST: 0

OK
AT+WRST=1,”000:03″

OK
AT+WRST?

+WRST: 1,”000:03″,”000:03″

OK

 The reset is set to start at “15:46”. By right the port will disconnect at:

  • 15:49
  • 15:52
  • 15:55

The state of QCOM when the modem disconnect:

  • “Close Port” button turn to “Open Port”
  • “Send Command” and “Run” buttons are greyed out
  • No command can be send out

At “15:49” the port closed (below s.c. is taken around 1 minute late).

Open the port again at “15:51”. At “15:52” the port closed (below s.c. is taken around 1 minute late).
Can SMS Engine — Ent. Ed. re-initialise MOBITEK S80 Modem after modem is reset?
  1. Stop the service/engine
  2. Use hyper terminal instead of QCOM ( because during remote support, you will use hyper terminal)
  3. Set the modem to reset every 3 or 5 minutes (AT+WRST=1,”000:03″)
  4. Start the service/enigne
  5. Check the log file, it should show that “GSM modem not connected” every 3 minutes then follow by “Modem ID 1 initialized”.

Not sure how frequent the engine will check for the modem’s connection. The reset duration happen in less than 10 seconds. Probably it missed the checking:

  • between 17:10 – 17:19
    • status missing at 17:13
    • status missing at 17:16
  • between 17:19 – 17:28
    • status missing at 17:22
    • status missing at 17:25

The last 3 “initialized” status show the disconnect interval are 3 minutes.
When modem is reset, what is the status of LED?
  1. Open Hyper Terminal, enter AT+WRST=1,”000:03″ command
  2. Start the engine
  3. Monitor LED status
 Red LED status when the modem reset (less than 10 seconds):

  • stop blinking
  • turn off
  • turn on
  • blinking

 

AT+WRST

AT+WRST only has the <MODE>,<DELAY>,<REMAINTIME>:

Issued: AT+WRST=1,"000:03"

Response: +WRST: 1,"000:03","000:03"

  • 1 = enable reset
  • “000:03” = reset every 3 minutes interval
  • “000:03” = countdown for the next reset (3 minutes). this countdown is still active even the port is disconnected.

Means:

  • AT+WRST is not able to do schedule reboot as we can’t specify the schedule time for the reset
  • AT+WRST is able to reset at any interval, i.e.: every 3 minutes
  • need to connect to the port again after every reset
  • the reset setting is always saved in the module even after every reconnection unless “AT+WRST=0” is issued
