It certainly been a stressful day for all of us, I assume. For me, however, upgrading during office hours is still preferable since this allows me to monitor the status, and contact our customers when something goes wrong. It’s a pity the upgrade failed, but I’m glad you kept us informed during the process.
@magnatron Wow. Thats a very good observation. I had not noticed it, but you are right: it’sthe only one that has a newline character in it. Thank you !
UPDATE: I have tried the same procedure with a different unit, and that works fine. I suppose it’s related to this specific unit and so I have forwarded this question to support.
And it works ! I could register my SIM card, and after starting my FiPy test program it connected within 30 seconds. Thank you.
@MarcoPeli So ‘deactivate’ should indeed stop the device from receiving data.
Any idea hoe long this cached value stays in the system ? It’s been more than 24 hours since I deactivated a device, but I still get the data.
In the portal there is an action ‘Deactivate’ for a device. A deactivated device appears with a strikethrough in the list, but I just noticed that it is still receiving messages and passing them on the the endpoint. So what does it actually do ?
When will there be an option to add a second endpoint for a specific device through the portal? As far as I know this now is still only possible by sending the ‘subscribe’ message to the API, which I often forget when adding another device.
Currently we arew using NB-IoT from T-Mobile for all our units in the Netherlands. They are hardcoded to use band 8 and the dutch APN:
lte.attach(band=8, apn="cdp.iot.t-mobile.nl")
What is required to move my NB-IoT units from The Netherlands to Belgium ? From what I see, the roaming partner in Belgium (Orange) uses band 20, and maybe the APN will be different ?
After testing the first LET/M units, I wanted to add some more. Which was not possible in the Starterkit project. It told me to check the page with possible plans. So I went there, and chose a new ‘Pilot’ project. But this Pilot project seems to be NB-IoT only, and I do not see a way to switch to LTE/M ?
So how do I start a LTE/M project that supports more than 2 SIM cards ?
And it works ! I could register my SIM card, and after starting my FiPy test program it connected within 30 seconds. Thank you.
@afzal_m OK. So I spend two days pestering the people at PyCom and here to find out why my FiPy would not connect to the network, and now it all probably comes down to an incorrect SIM card ? So you learn something new, every day…
But if this solves it, it would definitely make my day ! (And no, I don’t blame anybody, this is just what engineering is about, I suppose. 
)
I’m trying to get a connection throught LTE-M, As I posted here:
https://forum.iotcreators.com/topic/754/how-to-use-lte-m?_=1636726441348
In the Starterkit project I can register a SIM card, and when I start entering the ICC number, I get a dropdown from which I can select a number. One of these numbers indeed matched a SIM card that I had ( except for the last digit, but I assume this some kind of test number). Now I cannot get (any of) my devices to connect to the network so I thought I’d use a different SIM. But none of the other 20 SIM cards I have here is listed in the dropdown-box, and when I try to enter the number manually, it is not accepted. (Error: We cannot find your SIM card in our system). So what should I enter here, or is there another way to register the cards ?
@uta Thanks. That was indeed one of the thing I was wondering. So I need to treat this more as a ‘GSM’ replacement than an NB/IoT alternative.
I notice that LTE/M is mentioned occasionally, and there is an entry in the documantation on how to get started with the LTE/M starterkit, but what next ?
I have several questions which I cannot find the answer to (or maybe they are there, and I just cannot find them.)
