Circuit Switched Data Calls
This week we will discuss how to use the Intermax modem in Circuit Switched Data calls. Circuit Switched Data calls are very similar to voice calls where the modem Data telephone number is dialled from another modem and once the connection is establised data transfer takes place. Circuit Swicthed connections are slow compared to Packet Data Calls and charged per time spent online compared to data transferred when using Packet Data. The Modem supports both Packet and Circuit Switched data but please check with your HSPA wireless operator if the network supoorts Circuit Swicthed Data operator over the 3G network.

Telstra NextG:
1. A Voice plan.
2. A Data Terminating Number to be provisioned on the SIM (code 2620) in order to enable the Intermax to receive Data Calls. Please advise your Telstra Account Manager / Dealer should you wish to use the modem in Circuit Switched Data Mode so they can provision the SIM with the correct codes.

Optus:
1. A Voice plan.
2. When using Optus as your provider, users can only use Circuit Switched Data using a 2G SIM card and the Intermax modem locked to 2G only mode by setting AT%SYSCFG=13,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2 command. To use circuit switched data, a second data number must be activated on the SIM. Users can contact Optus Tech support on 1300 307 937 to activate CSD code or activate second data number on the account. Please note that Circuit Switched Data on Optus network has not been tested by Maxon Australia.

Additional setup may be required in the Intermax depending on the application and data logger. Common settings when using Circuit Switched Data are:
To set the Intermax to auto answer an incoming data call, set the following AT commands:
ATS0=2 // AUTO ANSWER AFTER 2 RINGS
AT&W // SAVE PROFILE SETTINGS

You may also need to setup other parameters like the Modem Baud Rate (AT+IPR), Flow Control Settings (AT+IFC) and DTR settings (AT&D)

For further information, please contact the Maxon Technical help desk team on +61 2 8707 3000 or e-mail support@maxon.com.au or refer to the AT command set for this modem on the maxon website under products page.

Did you know that you can query the Intermax status remotely or even reboot
the modem, by simply sending an SMS message to the modem Voice number as follow:

Query Network status:
On sending "Module.all", the modem will reply back with the following information
    <rscp>: 0~65535, used to indicate the GSM/WCDMA RSSI value.
    <ecio>: 0~65535, used to indicate the WCDMA ecio value. Only valid for WCDMA mode.
    <cell_id>: uint32 format, used to indicate the current service cell.
    <psc_code>: used to indicate the primary scrambling code of current service cell.
    < current_band_freq >: current frequency of the bands.
 

Query IP status:
On Sending "Module.ipstack", the modem will reply back with the following information
    <local_ip>: The IP address of local module.
    <server_ip>: The IP address of remote server.
    <client_ip>: The IP address of remote client while the aim module is server.

Remote reset
If you want to reset the modem send "Module.reset" , the modem will reboot, after this you can send Module.all to check that your modem is back online
