Objective Once a Siretta ZETA modem is powered on, a combination of its 3 LEDs light up, showing different stages of modem connection to a network (default state).
Also, assuming the network connection is achieved, the modem can send a receive AT commands.
If any of the above fails to materialise, a troubleshooting procedure will help to investigate and solve basic issues.
Solution This application note covers the following:
No LED indication
Modem keeps rebooting
Failure to connect to a modem serial port
No response from the modem when using AT commands
No Carrier when dialling Voice/ data calls
Demonstration of Solution LEDs Not Lit
Check the modem has been connected to the correct power supply
Check the power connector is inserted correctly
Check the power has been switched on at the mains
Check the LED functionality has been set with either AT#SLED or AT#GPIO AT commands
Modem Reboot If your Siretta modem keeps rebooting, please check the following procedures:
Check the SIM card has been inserted correctly
Check the power supply is correctly specified or you are using an approved Siretta PSU.
No Serial Connection If your Siretta modem has no serial connection, please check the following procedures:
Check the serial cable has been inserted correctly
Check the serial cable has the correct pin alignment (see below)
Check the modem emulator program has the proper settings (Factory settings = 115200, 8, n, 1)
Check there isn't another program interfering with the communication program
Check there isn't a conflict with communication port access
RS232 Serial Port Interface This connector provides serial RS232 communication between ZETA-xxP modem and the connected equipment. The modem can be configured via the RS232 connection using AT commands as specified in the AT command manual.

No Carrier'
(When trying to issue voice communication) Is the semicolon ( ; ) entered immediately after the phone number in the AT command? Ensure that the semicolon ( ; ) is entered after the phone number in the AT command. (e.g. ATD123456:)
No Carrier'
(When trying to issue data communication) Is the SIM card configured for data/fax call? Configure the SIM card for data/fax calls. (Ask your network provider if necessary)
Is the selected bearer type supported by the called partly? Ensure the selected bearer type is supported by the call party.
Is the selected bearer type support by the network? Ensure the selected bearer type is supported by the network.
If no success, try bearer select type by AT COMMAND: AT+CBST=0,0,3'
