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.
