NEXR5GO / EM12 G What Now?

Post by kzaudio »

I thought I already posted this but can't find it.

I just got my modem installed in my router. Using Visible SIM. I had this in a MoFi 4500 so it's activated.

I have no clue where to go from there. Is there a tutorial that will tell me what to do next. I have no internet at the moment. I know how to log in and see all the settings but it's completely foreign to me. I need some direction.

Thanks in advance. Professionally, I'm an audio video and security guy, so technology is my thing. I feel utterly moronic at the moment.

Different model modem but a lot of the Quectel commands are common across their devices.

No worries. Most would prob feel the same way looking at the gear you rock with all day long. :)

The biggest issue with these connections is that most of the info is hidden or too discreet to understand plainly.

Visible likes to see MBIM modem protocol.

AT command:

Code: Select all

AT+QCFG="usbnet",2
then

Clear out the PDP contexts (APNs)

Code: Select all

AT+CGDCONT?
will show all the current ones

Code: Select all

AT+CGDCONT=1
tries to clear out the one that is numbered 1

Code: Select all

AT+CGDCONT=16
clears out the one numbered 16

etc, etc. Work through all the pdp contexts that come back from the AT+CGDCONT? command, it gives the numbers of each on each line that comes out as response from that command.

One of the above, usually #1, will come back as error and fail to work. This is because that one is being actively used.

You can deactivate it, but its not necessary.

That one needs to be set (#1) like so:

Code: Select all

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","vsblinternet"
Then go ahead with:

Code: Select all

AT+CGDCONT=2,"IP","vsblinternet"
also send:

Code: Select all

AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",0
this turns off a deal that fills in the pdp contexts (APNs) automatically

Code: Select all

AT+QMBNCFG="Deactivate"
this deactivates any MBN profile that is currently set on the modem

Go to Modem->Connection Profile->default profile->APN and put in vsblinternet
Click save and Apply button


for giggles send this command:

Code: Select all

AT+QPRTPARA=1
sekretz

then send last:

Code: Select all

AT+CFUN=1,1
this one hard reboots the modem


Pretty much the jist of my advice off the top of my head.

@Didneywhorl so you're speaking a foreign language to me but I know where to plug in the AT Commands. So if I go through and input all of those then I should be up and running? Thanks for all the help. I entered the first command and it sat for a while and said waiting for response. I don't know how long but it was at least a minute or two.

I did all the AT commands @Didneywhorl listed. I still have no internet. Any other ideas folks? Quite frustrated at this point. I know nothing about programming this setup and really need some help.

Have used this exact link instructions to set up Quectel EM12 on visible.
