3G router configuration

[Wai Nam Mao]

May I ask the command

chat-script <script name> "" "ATDT*98*<profile number>#" TIMEOUT <timeout value> CONNECT

What is the defference between ATDT*98* and ATDT*99*

and profile setting

cellular 0 gsm profile create 4 APN.telstra pap john@doe.com johnpassword

can I just set the APN with username and password?

Hi,

On a router with 3G card you may define several 3G profiles, with different APN, credentials, etc.

If you use a chat script with ATDT*99#, IOS will select the default profile (i.e. profile #1).

If you use ATDT*98*2#, IOS will choose the specified profile number, in this case #2.

The syntax for the profile create command is:

cellular x/x/x gsm profile create [IPv4|PPP] [chap|pap] username passwd

You must define the APN name, choose always IPv4, then select chap or pap depending on your Telco's specifications.

Hope this helps

So I must define APN and credentials in profile

However, When I use ATDT*99#, default profile will be used, may i ask what is the APN and credentails in default profile?

And what is the defferent of ATDT number 99 and 98

[davy.timmermans]

98 and 99 are parameters from the old ATDT commands

99 means profile 1

98 makes it possible to define extra profiles

ATDT*98*1 corresponds with ATDT*99*

From my experience you require at least an APN while password/username are often not required in the chat-script.
