“Ping” the network: an end-to-end radio test
You can determine whether your radio modem is working on the network by
pressing P. When you “ping,” you send a message (MPAK – Mobitex data
packet) to yourself via the wireless network base station. The MENU utility will
display a message indicating that the MPAK was sent. A few seconds later, it
should also indicate that the MPAK was received. This confirms that your radio
modem is operational and active on the network.
If you get the message “Status MPAK cannot be sent – out of coverage”, then
you are not in an area that is covered by the Mobitex network. You can
determine whether you are in coverage by looking at Contact on the status
lines. If you are certain that you are in a coverage area, but are still not able to
communicate with the network, check the antenna to make sure it is connected
properly and is deployed properly. Signal quality can vary significantly within a
building. Try moving the antenna to a new location, perhaps near a window, to
see if you can get a signal.
If you get the message indicating that the Status MPAK was sent, but you did
not get one that it was received, then you are in coverage but your RIM 902M
radio modem has probably not been activated by your network operator, and the
network will not send the MPAK back to the radio. Contact the network
operator to activate your design.
