multimodem GPRS doesn´t allow me typing AT commands

[heriberto quiroga]

I´ve got a couple of MTCBA-G-EN-F4 for servicing that let me start a telnet session and let me out of telnet. I mean, I can enter to telnet with “telnet 192.168.3.1 5000”, appears “succesfully” but once I try to type in anything else it doesn´t appear anything, nevertheless once I type Ctrl+} and quit, it goes out. I checked it out with other multimodems of the same model and version but they don´t seem to have anything different.

Could anyone be kind enough to give me a clue? Thanks.

Couple of suggestions:

1. If you want to telnet into the auto dialout application, you need to make sure ppp is set to disabled. This setting is on the PPP page of the web management interface.

2. If you have confirmed that ppp is disabled and the device has been restarted, when you telnet to port 5000 type the following command (even if you don’t see the characters printed to your terminal screen):

ATE1V1Q

You should see an OK response printed to your screen, and you should also start seeing characters in your terminal window as you type them.
