For some reason none of our WR21 manages to send SMS’s. My first gues was a issue with our provider but putting the sim in a regular smartphone allowed it to send SMS.
The WR21 can receive SMS (seen in event log) but can’t reply. Any way of knowing more about the issue then ‘SMS failed to send’? (which is shown in the eventlog).
Trying to send an sms with the sendsms command doesn’t work either.
Which actual WR21 do you have?
A WR21-L2 or WR21-L3 do not support SMS.
If you have something else then post your “config c show” removing your personal data.
Does this answer your question? WR21-L41A-DE1-TA
I managed to send one sms with the device (tried > 30 times)
What firmware are you running? If it is anything less than 5246 then you will have problems. There is a known bug listed in the release notes that is fixed with this version. (SAROS-255) in http://ftp1.digi.com/support/firmware/Digi%20TransPort%20Release%20Notes%205246.pdf
Remembered i’ve copypasted the debug.txt to my desktop earlier…
Digi TransPort WR21-L41A-DE1-XX Ser#:350556 HW Revision: 1203b
Software Build Ver5246. Aug 15 2014 12:20:23 WW
ARM Bios Ver 7.21u v43 454MHz
So the firmware is indeed the latest.
So can you post your full config c show here with out the personal info?
Also what is “ppp 1 ndis ?” set to?

I’ve tried the command you’ve listed before. That was the 2 times it actually did send a message (out of 10+ tries with the command).
Well I am running short of ideas for forum posts.
What is the format you are receiving the SMS in the event log? For example:
I sent “Test back” from my mobile phone:
19:25:24, 16 Oct 2014,SMS Received: 49170xxxxxxx: Test back,Not executed
Do you have access to another providers SIM to test with such as something on http://www.mobistar.be/ or http://www.proximus.be/
I would suggest escalating this through your distributor.
Same format as yours.
I’ll try to get hold of a sim from a different operator, but since the sim works fine in a cellphone it shouldn’t make a difference…?
The problem is that the area in which the modem will be used only has antennas from the operator of the current sim.
This is the point where you may need to turn to technical support.
Trying another carrier’s SIM will allow you to narrow down where the fault is occurring.
From there you can at least know that the transport is working correctly but not in your specific configuration.
I would suggest firstly trying another carrier’s SIM.
Then I would try another SIM from the same carrier but using a different platform such as their prepaid range:
http://www.base.be/en/mobile/prepaid-cards/b-prepaid-next.html
Well i was writing a technical support ticket before i made this post…
But i needed to pay 90$ to be able to do so and i don’t want to spend more money on it yet…
For the €20 it will cost for two SIMs (a prepaid on another carrier and a prepaid from KPN) to test that might be a good shot first.
If you bought the device from an Authorised Distributor you should be able to access their technical support who can escalate it and liaise with Digi on your behalf.
There is a method to virtually detach the com port from the cellular module, link it to Digi Realport software, connect to the module on your pc and then send commands directly to the internal cellular module completely away from the TransPort but that is not something we can go through on the forum.
Can you explain your use case of this device? Is it just one device or will there be multiple and if so how many?
I’ll send an email to the supplier.
The use case: Receivers for fish tracking tags are mounted on the ladder support of an offshore windmill. The modem is connected to said receiver through the RS485 connection. The scientist should be able to receive the data from the device through the cellular connection.
At the moment 4 receiver-modem pairs are going to be installed, this might increase in the future.
