How to pause PPPoS comunication to get RSSI

Postby gunar.kroeger » Thu Jan 30, 2020 1:54 pm

We are using the BG96 to connect to our server and exchange HTTPs packets with it every second.

Using PPPoS we can't simultaneously ask for information like the signal strength (rssi) etc. For that, we would have to return to command mode.

There are 2 ways: sending "+++" and waiting for a second, or sending a pulse to the DTR pin, which would be faster.

How can we pause the connection of HTTPs? We have to guarantee that the packets in transit won't be broken and mess up the inner layers of http/sockets/pppos communiation?
And how do we resume this communication after we finished asking our AT commands to the modem?

Is it with tcpip_adapter_down and tcpip_adapter_up?
we also have WiFi, so if there is a way to pause only pppos comunication in a clean way, it would be better.

Thanks

Hi gunar.kroeger,

I try to do the same as you.
Did you manage to pause the network stack to send AT commands and then resume it ?

Thanks
