Re: SMSC AT and PIN and quotation marks

Sure,
ETSI standards (TS 07.07 and 27.007) say the PIN is a string, so it MUST be 
enclosed in quotes. Some terminals (e.g., Siemens) accept ALSO non-quoted 
PINs; anyhow, all terminals accept the standard quoted "enter pin" command.

Subject: SMSC AT and PIN and quotation marks


Hello all,
today I tried to use a NOKIA GSM PCCard with Kannel. Unfortunately
it failed to work out of the box because the Nokia card did not accept
Kannels "AT+CPIN=1234" syntax. It requires the PIN to be in quotation marks,
e.g. AT+CPIN="1234". I know at least one other Mobile that requires
the quotation marks as well.

I think the rationale behind this is that the PIN is actually a "password
string" in ETSI speak and strings are supposed to be limted by quotation
marks. I know a number of mobiles that accept both versions and none that
breaks with quotation marks, so I would suggest to add the quotation marks
to the code.

Regards
