Operational
Description
Wireless connection modes
The BT4400/5400 can connect to the wireless data network in three
different ways:
• Packet Data (GPRS): allows outgoing calls only using GPRS
cellular protocols. It is intended for TCP/IP connections to the
internet. GPRS allows speeds of up to 40Kbps.
• Circuit Switched Data (GSM)- allows for both outgoing and
incoming calls using the circuit-switched GSM cellular protocol. It is
intended for direct connections with a landline analog modem.
Allows speeds of up to 9.6Kbps.
Modem operating modes
The BT4400/5400 modem can be set to operate in On-Demand mode,
or in Always-ON mode. On-Demand mode being the factory default.
Configuration of these modes, along with their rules, is done via
BlueVue Device Manager or using straight AT commands.
• On-Demand: In this mode, the modem is not connected to the
Wireless network. It awaits a connection trigger to connect. Types
of connection triggers:
• Dial command from the serial port resulting in a packet or circuit-
switched connection
• Incoming call from a remote modem resulting in a circuit-switched
connection
• GPS report is ready to deliver to a remote destination resulting in a
PPP connection via the packet-switched network.
• Always-ON: In this mode, the modem will attempt a PPP packet-
switched connection to the wireless network on power-up. If it fails
it will keeps retrying indefinitely until it succeeds.
