Currently we are using the Cinterion (PLS62-W) (REVISION 02.000) Module on our GNSS receivers. We are using eCos RTOS. For the Internet connection over LTE, we use the PPP using the Virtual Serial Port Interface over the USB. For compliance reason we need to use IPv6 over LTE. How can we achieve this? I looked at the MBIM interface supported by this module, but our Host USB controller can only support 6 endpoints and will not support the hign MBIM endpoint numbers.

Hi,

You should properly configure AT+CGDCONT command. Second parameter describes the type IP type. It can be:

“IP“ Internet Protocol (IETF STD 5)

“IPV6“ Internet Protocol, version 6 (see RFC 2460)

“IPV4V6“ Virtual <PDP_type> introduced to handle dual IP stack UE capability. (See

3GPP TS 24.301).

Please note, IP address is assigned by the network, so it depends on the SIM card / network operator if you really will get IPv6. For example, one of the real network that I use requires special APN to get IPv6.

Best regards,
Adam
