Sending message takes to much time.

[hamidafghan]

I am using ubuntu 19.04 with 8 GB memory and Core i5 processor. The modem is Hawaii E303. Sending message is working but takes to much time, about 1 or more minutes. There is what I have code:

  let serialportgsm = require("serialport-gsm");

  let modem = serialportgsm.Modem();

  let options = {
    baudRate: 115200,
    dataBits: 8,
    stopBits: 1,
    parity: "none",
    rtscts: false,
    xon: false,
    xoff: false,
    xany: false,
    autoDeleteOnReceive: true,
    enableConcatenation: true,
    incomingCallIndication: true,
    incomingSMSIndication: true,
    pin: "",
    customInitCommand: "",
    logger: console
  };

  modem.open("/dev/ttyUSB2", options, () => console.log("Connected"));

  modem.on("open", data => {
    // initialze the modem
    modem.initializeModem(function() {
      console.log("The GSM Modem is ready now.");
    });

    // set the the modem mode to PDU
    modem.setModemMode(function() {
      console.log("Setting the mode to PDU");
    }, "PDU");

    // Sending message
    // modem.sendSMS("+93747912248", "I am fine!", true, function() {
    //   console.log("sending message");
    // });

    modem.getNetworkSignal(result => {
      console.log(`Signal Strength = ${result}`);
    });
    //send message(number, text, alert(true or false), callback)
    modem.sendSMS("+93747912248", `Hello there zab!`, false, function(response) {
      console.log("message status", response);
    });
  });

So what I want to know is, is it the normal process that takes the time or any suggestion?

Hello @hamidafghan ! Have you tried changing the baudRate? I'm sorry but I do not know what baudRate to use for Huawei E303. Can you try 9600?

[Apollon77]

But baudRate: 115200, should be faster then 9600 :-) I think debug log would be helpful

[hamidafghan]

@zabsalahid is there any way to get the baudRate from the device connected?

[zabsalahid]

@hamidafghan Nope, you have to set it. Different devices have different requirement for baudRate when connecting. But as @Apollon77 said

But baudRate: 115200, should be faster then 9600 :-) I think debug log would be helpful
