I have finally received my new UCM with the A7608 module from Laser so that I can use VoLTE to try and improve my chances of dialing in to Comfort.
I removed my existing UCM/GSM4(3G) entirely (not just the daughterboard) and installed the new UCM with new A7608 module and gave it the same ID number 2 as the old board.
After powering everything up it seems to work at a basic level as I can dial the SIM card and Comfort answers and I can now actually sign-in (well, it worked on second try whereas with the old module I could rarely sign in). I can also do the (?) text and get a sensible reply.
However, all of my custom SMS control config is not yet there â I assume I need to reload it via Comfigurator but I donât want to do it incorrectly and wondered if you can advise?
I opened my existing config and logged in â I noticed Comfigurator now says my signal is âStrongâ, which is good, and I can see all my old config, but can I just do Write to EEPROM, or do I need to make any changes first? Iâm assuming it is using cached information about UCM02 as it says the type is GSM4, version is 7.141 and latest version is 7.240, processor is N.A, and GSM Module type is 5320-3G, which must be the old once - hence why I don\'t just want to risk corrupting things by trying a Write to EEPROM.
Comfigurator seemed to do a scan automatically as it popped up an error box saying the module scan had timed-out. I tried another scan manually and it gave the same error.
Because this is a different type of UCM do I have to delete it and then re-scan to find the new one? If so, will I lose all of my existing config of Customised Messages and Control menus?
By the way, I see a new forum page has appeared since I placed my order in December -
https://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=5593&forum_id=48
On that page it refers to the new UCM as the UCMA/4G7608 â is that the same as the A7608 one Iâve just purchased? That page also mentions needing firmware 7.245 â is that the UCM firmware? I assume with it being new it will have compatible firmware already?
Anyway, if you can advise on the best steps for what I should do now the replacement hardware is installed that would be great. My main Comfort controller firmware is 7.175 (if that matters).
Thanks
