I have a monitoring system that automatically sends a SMS when an event occurs. I can also query the system remotely by sending a SMS with a keyword and the system sends a SMS containing a report.

The system is composed of a STM32 arduino-like board with a W5200 ethernet interface board.

The interface is connected to an ethernet port of the RUTxxx.

The commands used are sms_total, sms_read, sms_delete and sms_send.

The first three commands work on both RUTxxx. But the sms_send does not send the SMS on the RUT900.

I have analyzed the ethernet traffic using Wireshark, and the frame that carries the sms_send command is the following:

0000   00 1e 42 13 a9 51 de ad be ef fe bb 08 00 45 00   ..B..Q........E.

00e0   0a   

No SMS is sent. (the password and phone number have been changed in this text from their actual values)                                        .

As a further test, I have copied the payload from this frame, and pasted it in the data field of the windows application Packet Sender. When captured, the frame sent by packet sender reads as follows:

0000   00 1e 42 13 a9 51 74 d0 2b 15 9f 79 08 00 45 00   ..B..Qt.+..y..E.

This frames DOES make the RUT900 send the SMS!

Only the first 53 bytes differ, as they are the frame header.

The ip address of the STM32 board is 192.168.17.80, and that of the PC that runs both Wireshark and Packet Sender is 192.168.17.131.

Another difference I see in the Wireshark record, is that in the cases that the command work, the next frame is an ACK frame, and the RUT900 sends a frame back containing "ok".

But when the sending fails, the next frame returned by the RUT900 is a TCP fin, ack frame, and no other frame is returned. i have no idea why this occurs.

Why would the RUT900 refuse this frame when it comes from the ip address 192.168.17.80, and accept it from ip address 192.168.17.131?

Hello,

Could you start by providing the firmware version your device is using and the URL requests?

Best regards,

The firmware version is 06.05.3.

What do you mean by URL requests? I do not type requests in the URL bar of a browser. Instead, the board I programmed sends TCP requests. The request that fails contains the following payload:

GET //cgi-bin/sms_send?username=Hybride&password=xxxxxxxxxx&number=xxxxxxxxxx&text=Quai%20absent%2C%20230V%20ok%2C%2024V%20ok%2C%20batterie%3D84%25%2C%20ok%2E HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n

where \r is the CR character (0x0d) and \n is the LF character (0x0A).

 I paste here the ethernet traffic captured using WireShark. (I have overwritten the phone number and password wth "x").

192 0.004 192.168.17.80 192.168.17.1 HTTP 225 GET //cgi-bin/sms_send?username=Hybride&password=xxxxxxxxxx&number=xxxxxxxxxx&text=Quai%20absent%2C%20230V%20ok%2C%2024V%20ok%2C%20batterie%3D84%25%2C%20ok%2E HTTP/1.1

193 0.000 192.168.17.1 192.168.17.80 TCP 60 80 → 1128 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=172 Win=30016 Len=0

194 0.007 192.168.17.80 192.168.17.1 TCP 60 1128 → 80 [FIN, ACK] Seq=172 Ack=1 Win=2048 Len=0

195 0.000 192.168.17.1 192.168.17.80 TCP 60 80 → 1128 [FIN, ACK] Seq=1 Ack=173 Win=30016 Len=0

196 0.000 192.168.17.80 192.168.17.1 TCP 60 1128 → 80 [ACK] Seq=173 Ack=2 Win=2048 Len=0

This sequence does not send the sms. As you can see, there is also a network problem since the RUT900 did not send the "ok" response.

However, if I paste into the "send sms" tab of the RUT900 webui the text "Quai absent, 230V ok, 24V ok, batterie=84%, ok.", the SMS is correctly sent and I receive it on my phone.

I found the cause of the problem.

When I send a command to the modem, I open a TCP connection, then I send the command, then I close the TCP connection. So far so good, the RUT500 behaves properly.

The RUT900, on the contrary, does not send the SMS because the TCP connection was closed at once. I have added a 3 second delay after the command is sent and before I close the connection, and then the RUT900 does send the SMS.

Is not that a bug? Why should the state of the TCP connection have an influence on the sending of a SMS which has nothing to do with ethernet and TCP/IP?
