Missing IMEI on HE910

11 thoughts on “Missing IMEI on HE910”

1. We have received a
   new batch of HE910-G with Fw: 12.00.004.

   The modems we have used
   before had an older FW and we updated them our self. Now we have bought modems
   with the correct FW (..004).

   We cannot get them to
   work correctly as we did with the last batch.

    

   One main issue is that it
   looks like there is no IMEI programmed. When we type the read IMEI AT command
   we get the following:

   AT+CGSN;r

   000000000000000

    

   When we
   read IMEI with the same command from the last working batch we get the correct
   IMEI (as printed on the device).

    

   Do you have
   any idea what could be wrong?

   1. Do you know what is the p/n you ordered and from which distributor?

      What is the IMEI written on the label on top of the module?

       

      1. I cant really say what IMEI is on the device we have. It is in a box which I cant open right now. But the modules have been ordered by Note from http://www.rutronik.se.

         I will try to get hold of a picture showing the IMEI on a module. 

2. I have manage to get hold of one IMEI number, its 357164040912753.

   LOT: 2413 

   1. Hi Patrick.

       

      the p/n is HE910GPS203T001, this module was produced  on June 2013 with fw. 12.00.003.

      Are you really sure this is part of the new batch you received with 12.00.004 ?

      Is this specific module responding with AT+CGSN 000000000000000 ?

      1. I have been told it was FW 12.00.004 from a colleague who is working with this. 
         

         I believe he read the version via a command. The supplier also confirmed that it is .004.

         
         

         Im sorry but I cant really say if the response is AT+CGSN 000000000000000 or just  000000000000000.

         I got the information sent to me. I can check it on Monday. 

          

         Anyway, if the modules has a older version of FW they still should have an IMEI right? 
         1. Here is the printout from the board with the Telit HE910 module:

             

            #CGSN: 000000000000000

             

            #CGMR: 12.00.004

             

            #CGMI: Telit

             

            #CGMM: HE910-G

             

             

            On the supplier page (rutronik) it says  HE910GPS204T711 as partnumber. Is that not correct?

             

            Do you need to know anything else? 

            1. Hi Patrick,  for HE910GPS204T711 it is correct to have the IMEI not programmed. Infact this special p/n can be programmed by the customer with there own IMEI range, Rutronik should be aware of this.

                

               Standard part number is HE910GPS204T701

                

               Normally the IMEI indicated on the label of these modules starts with 0017xxxxxxxxxx

               I do not expect that HE910GPS204T711 has an IMEI printed like the one you indicated.

                

               Moreover 357164040912753 was produced on June 2013.

               Production of  HE910GPS204T711 didn’t start before August 2013.

            2. Ok,
               it looks like we got modules without any IMEI. This is clearly not what we
               wanted but how can we fix it.

                

               How can we program a IMEI and how do we get a IMEI number range for
               these modules?

            3. I would recommend to ask rutronik to swap those units if not yet soldered.

               IMEI range should be requested to BABT and it isn’t FOC.

3. I just opened up a unit and discovered a
   different LOT number. The IMEI number a gave you before must have been wrong,
   please do not take notice of that. I must have been wrongly informed.
