I see 0 byte sessions when using NB-IoT

When the device is attached to NB-IoT there is no data in the data sessions on the platform make sure to check that ePCO is disabled.

Environment

  • Onomondo App: Network Logs

  • Device: Applicable to all devices with NB-IoT enabled

Issue

  • On the device

    • The device registers to NB-IoT network but fails to send data

  • On the platform

    • There are attach and detach data network logs

    • The detach data log shows 0 bytes for Download and Upload

Solution

Check if ePCO is disabled. This AT Command is often proprietary and therefore changes between modules. It is best to consult the modem manufacturer's AT command manual for the correct command.

Example - the Nordic nRF91 series:

You can use AT%XEPCO? to check the modem's current ePCO configuration.

If the response is %XEPCO: 1, then you need to change it to AT%XEPCO=0 and try to connect to the network again.
