Monitor if Device is still "online"

[henry64]

Hi

I have an application running as a service 24/7 and I would like to know how I can monitor if the device is still alive, connected to the mobile network etc.

I have tried to run a timer to update and read signal strength but that doesn't seem identify that the device has been powered off or disconnected from the RS232.

Can you advice on how to monitor the device in a proper way?


Attached is the log file and a modified gsmdemo that polls for signal strength.

Thanks

Hello

Most easy way is periodically PING device with simple AT command:

nrGSM1.CmdSendAndWaitResult("AT<cr>");

If device replies "OK" it is connected.

If virtual port (for USB sticks ad adapters) is removed, TnrComm raises OnClose event.

Okay, that could work, thanks.
