Trying to connect WiModem to Ubiquity AP-LR

[Shadowfire]

WPA2 TKIP is the most common protocol for encryption, but it has nothing to do with seeing what is available.  All routers that are allowed to broadcast their availability should always been shown when you do a scan of the network (AT*N).

If you know your router name and password, you can just enter it.  The old version of CCGMS does not support 2400 baud correctly, so be aware of that.  Once you have a terminal program that works, go into ASCII mode (not CBM graphics mode) and type:

AT*SSID routername,password <return>

routername = the name of your router, case dependent
password = your password (sometimes called passphrase), case dependent
<return> is the return (or enter) key

Case dependent means just that - you must use the exact same case the names.  So, if your router name is MyRouter, then you need to capitalize the M and R.  If you don't the router will not be found!  Prior to the v1.8 firmware, the AT*SSID had to be all upper case or it would not find the router.  Of course, using the WPS function is the easiest way to setup your router!


The WiModem restores whatever baud rate was saved last, using the AT&W command.  You could set the baud rate to be 1200 baud or 9600, use AT&W and when you power off and back on, that baud rate will be the default.

admin --- Maybe it is CCGMS 2400bos not working then?  Can I lower it to 300bps or 1200bps... believe it or not I hope so -- want to show my kids what it was like back in the 80's  ?

So,, I have read the manual.  I have succesfully ATI --- this gave me the information of the WiModem.  I have successfully done a AT*N -- This gave me the availible networks in my area (usually was around 4 -- 2 of which where mine)

I understand Case Sensitive (case dependent as you refer too) but I apprecate you explaining it just incase -- it will help other who run in to these issues.

OHHH!! really.. that may be it then... I do have a WiModem that has Firmware 1.7 ... I will test mine by capitalizing AT*SSID then... odd thing is it seems to work when I do type: ati  or at*n  (lower case - just fyi)

Well... you guys gave given me some ammo to try out... I will update you with my progress...  

Thanks so much,
