How can I verify if my Snap-On and/or GSM cable
are working correctly?
The easiest way to test your Snap-On and/or GSM
cable is by use of a terminal program.
If you do not have a terminal program on your PALM
device installed you can obtain a terminal program
by sending a mailto: support@option.com
After installation of this terminal program make
sure the Snap-On modem, GSM cable and GSM phone
are correctly connected and the GSM phone is switched
on.
Type: ate1 and
tick <Enter>
Snap-On modem should respond with OK
Type: ati21 and
tick <Enter>
Snap-On modem will return the firmware
(GSM activation) code
Type: atd"number"
and tick <Enter>
For example type: atd003216204144
and tick <Enter>.
This will connect you to the Option International
BBS (0032 is the country
code for Belgium (0)16
is the area code).
If this number is not working in your country. Try
a local data number that accepts GSM data calls
(for example your ISP number).
To test the GSM cable
make sure the GSM cable is attached
to PC-card and the GSM-phone
is connected and switched on:
(this test is not supported by the Panasonic GSM's
and will return ERROR)
Type: at*gt and tick <Enter>
If the modem returns "kabel OK"
it means there is no hardware problem with the cable
If the modem returns "kabel niet OK"
it means the GSM cable is probably malfunctioning
or you have
the wrong GSM activation installed for your GSM
(firmware)
How can I verify if my Snap-On is correctly
activated for my GSM phone?
In order to use your Snap-On modem with your GSM-phone,
the modem needs to be activated for the type of
GSM you are using.
This means that activation software (the firmware)
must be installed on your Snap-On modem.
The easiest way to verify the version of the firmware
on your Snap-On modem cable is by use of a terminal
program.
If you do not have a terminal program on your PALM
device installed you can obtain a terminal program
by sending a mailto: support@option.com
After installation of this terminal program make
sure the Snap-On modem, GSM cable
and GSM phone are correctly connected and the GSM
phone is switched on.
Type: ate1 and
tick <Enter>
Snap-On modem should respond with OK
Type: ati21 and
tick <Enter>
Snap-On modem will return the firmware
(GSM activation) code,
for example: EPLT1004N6ONAE (this
is the latest firmware for Nokia 61xx-51xx)
(if you are uncertain about your GSM Kit version,
check the Kit number on your GSM cable
Remark: do not upgrade or reflash
your Snap-On if you have a working configuration.
