T-Mobile NB-IoT in the Netherlands? [SOLVED]
-
Has anyone gotten T-Mobile NB-IoT in the Netherlands working on FiPy or GPy?
I have updated my GPy to version 1.18.1.r7 and the LTE modem to version NB1-40343.
-
Hey.
What issue are you having? Is it failing to attach, or attaching but failing to make any external connections?
-
Hello @paul-thornton,
It is failing to attach. Functions lte.imei() and lte.iccid() return sensible values. AT+CSQ returns 27,99.
>>> import sqnsupgrade >>> sqnsupgrade.info() <<< Welcome to the SQN3330 firmware updater [1.2.1] >>> >>> GPy with firmware version 1.20.0.rc4 Your modem is in application mode. Here is the current version: UE6.0.0.0 LR6.0.0.0-40343My test code:
import os from network import LTE import time lte = None def get_LTE(): global lte if lte == None: lte = LTE() if lte.isconnected(): return True lte.attach(band=8, apn="cdp.iot.t-mobile.nl") attempts = 0 while not lte.isattached(): time.sleep(5) attempts = attempts + 1 print('Attaching...', attempts) print('LTE attach succeeded!') lte.connect() attempts = 0 while not lte.isconnected(): time.sleep(5) attempts = attempts + 1 print('Connecting...', attempts) print('LTE connection succeeded!') return True def end_LTE(): global lte if lte == None: return print("Disonnecting LTE ...

The T-Mobile Netherlands IoT page only describes how to connect other platforms. (Link).
What can I try next?

Still never attaching...
Added suggested commands 'AT+SQNCTM?', 'AT+SQNMONI=9', 'AT+CEREG?', 'AT+CFUN?' by @Xykon in threads 'Modem's radio showphy, all zeros, is bad?' and 'FiPy LTE not connecting after Upgrade Firmware'.
This is my latest test code:

OK. So my GPy's hardware was to blame. (Link)
Since I also have a more recent FiPy I upgraded that one to NB1 40343.
Success! I can read the 'Hello World!' message on the T-Mobile Netherlands dashboard.
If this code does not attach for you, check that the CAPS show that your band is supported. My GPy was missing band 8 and I have requested an RMA...

Hi @Joop-Susan, thank you for your testing code.
I have used it for my NB-IoT tests.-
In my system there is no existing AT command AT+PING.
Also I did not find it modem manual:
https://docs.pycom.io/gitbook/assets/Monarch-LR5110-ATCmdRefMan-rev6_noConfidential.pdf -
In my system lte.send_at_cmd function require only one parameter
>>> lte.send_at_cmd('ATI1',1000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: extra positional arguments givenSo finally I have changed function send_at_cmd_pretty like this:
def send_at_cmd_pretty(cmd, delay=1000): response = lte.send_at_cmd(cmd).split('\r\n') print('Sent to modem: \'{}\', delay {} ms'.format(cmd, delay)) for line in response: if line.strip() != '': print(line)Could somebody explain points 1), 2), please?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.Regards, Vojtech

Hi,
For- AT commands are sort of universal. The manual you mention only describes AT commands specific to the Sequans modem. If you check this forum thread: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/6202/method-to-take-control-of-cell-modem/29 there are more 'undocumented' commands.
- There was a change in
lte.send_at_cmd()not requiring the delay argument anymore in a recent firmware, as that was solved in a different way.
Edit: The AT+PING command is described in the Sequans AT commands manual! (see link)
Best,
Gijs -
Hi @Gijs,
Thank you for your reply.
Could you suggest how to use AT+PING command on GPy?
So far I understand @Joop-Susan using his testing code also with Sequans modem (FiPy)?Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards, Vojtech -
Hi
Usage is like this:
lte.send_at_cmd('AT+PING="8.8.8.8"')where8.8.8.8can be any IP address. This works on any device with an LTE modem. Be aware that the quotes are not interchangable, the AT command interpreter expects the double ". -
Hi @Gijs ,
Thank you for your reply.
I am using GPy + modem with NB-IoT fw NB1-41019.
Could you help, why AT+PING does not work, please?
I really appreciate the support you’ve given me.

Hi,
That is a really odd error to get after the AT+PING command. TheOSError: LTE modem version not readCan only be caused by the
lte.connect()command and has nothing to do with thelte.send_at_cmd(...)I tried what you are doing on my Fipy with NB1-41019 firmware, and it does not do this.. Can you perhaps get the firmware 1.20.2.r1 and try again? There might be some differences in 1.20.2.r3 that I do not know about..

Hi @Gijs,
I really appreciate the support you’ve given me. Sorry for some delays (I was out of office several days).I am now trying to downgrade to 1.20.2.r1 ... as you know I have some troubles:
https://forum.pycom.io/topic/1735/failed-to-connect-to-esp32-invalid-head-of-packet-x08/6Today I have made some test with NB-IoT.
I have noticed weak signal:>>> lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CSQ') '\r+CSQ: 18,99\r\rOK\r'rssi=18 ... -77dBm
Below -70 dBm: Signal is too weak, subject to external interference
Today even I could not attach (usually it takes few seconds and I get lte.isattached() = true). Could it be hint why AT+PING command get error?>>> from network import LTE >>> lte = LTE() >>> lte.attach(band=20, apn="nb.zoocontrol") >>> lte.isattached() FalseThank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards, Vojtech -
Hi @Gijs,
finally I have to downgrade to 1.20.2.r1
Then I have executed testing code. Still having problems with attaching (pls see my last post regarding rssi).Thank you in advance for your assistance.

@nadvorvo I'm just using lte.attach() here with a T-Mobile NB-IoT card. attaching usually takes 12 seconds, but sometimes much longer. The response to AT+CSQ is 25,99. I'm using MicroPython 1.20.2.rc11, and the latest modem firmware 41019, and the same bootloader.
Ping to 172.27.131.100 fails in a proper manner with error, ping to e.g. 217.160.86.40 or 8.8.8.8 works.
Maybe you have a problem with the antenna or reception. Can you move close to a window? -
Hi @Gijs,
Today I have sold problem with lte.attach(). It was necessary to add before (select network operator):lte.send_at_cmd('AT+COPS=1,2,"23003"')Ping not working even after FW downgrade to 1.20.2.r1.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

@nadvorvo said in T-Mobile NB-IoT in the Netherlands? [SOLVED]:
Thank you for your reply.
So we are back here again If im correct. I tested the AT+PING again om my devices and that seems to work fine (still!). I have asked @xykon to take a look as well, so we can figure this out!

Hi,
Sorry for the long delay, I have since looked at your code again, and the AT+PING does not return anything for you, try the following:lte = LTE(debug=True)which will give you more insight into the sent AT commands by the lte module.The error is with the
lte.connect()which has a version check, that receives a non-applicable response from the modem.Next, I figured out that the AT+PING has no specified timeout. This will interfere with the next AT command called (
ATI1) and cause the modem version not read error, as the AT+PING has still information in the UART buffer. You can resolve the issue by setting a timeout on the AT+PING command as such:send_at_cmd_pretty('AT+PING="172.27.131.100",1,32')With 1 = the amount of messages, and 32 as the timeout in ms (I believe)
That should resolve the error
Best,
Gijs -
Hi @Gijs,
Thank you for your reply.I have updated my testing code as suggested (also it was necessary add 5 sec sleep (there were interfere with lte.connect() comand):
# Initialize LTE object lte = LTE() lte = LTE(debug=True)print('LTE ping test') send_at_cmd_pretty('AT+PING="10.1.0.1",1,32', delay=5000) time.sleep(5) # Connect LTE print('LTE connect command:') lte.connect()I got this output:
LTE ping test [AT] 939910 AT+PING="10.1.0.1",1,32 [AT-OK] +9509 Sent to modem: 'AT+PING="10.1.0.1",1,32', delay 5000 ms LTE connect command:Could you comment, please [AT] 939910, [AT-OK] +9509 I do not know meaning.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Im not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve with the PING (and who you are trying to ping), but a ping to 8.8.8.8 for me gives a response acknowledgement. It seems 10.1.0.1 is in the personal IP range, which might not be directly accessible from the lte service.
-
Hi @Gijs,
10.1.0.1 is the address of the NB-IoT backend server ... UDP communication is working there.I have tried 8.8.8.8 (result is same, My APN network is opened to internet by default, only to backend server)
LTE ping test [AT] 80166 AT+PING="8.8.8.8",1,32 [AT-OK] +9506 Sent to modem: 'AT+PING="8.8.8.8",1,32', delay 5000 msThank you in advance for your assistance.
