During each PDP startup procedure the MT may have access to some or all of the following information -
The MT may have a priori knowledge, for example, it may implement only one PDP type.
The command may have provided an <L2P> parameter value.
The TE may provide a PDP type and/or PDP address to the MT during in the PDP startup procedure.
If any of this information is in conflict, the command will fail.
Any PDP type and/or PDP address present in the above information shall be compared with the PDP type and/or PDP
address in any context definitions specified in the command in the order in which their <cid>s appear. For a context
definition to match -
The PDP type must match exactly.
The PDP addresses are considered to match if they are identical or if either or both addresses are unspecified. For
example, a PPP NCP request specifying PDP type = IP and no PDP address would cause the MT to search
through the specified context definitions for one with PDP type = IP and any PDP address.
The context shall be activated using the matched value for PDP type and a static PDP address if available, together with
the other information found in the PDP context definition. If a static PDP address is not available then a dynamic
address is requested.
If no <cid> is given or if there is no matching context definition, the MT shall attempt to activate the context with
whatever information is available to the MT. The other context parameters shall be set to their default values.
If the activation is successful, data transfer may proceed.
After data transfer is complete, and the layer 2 protocol termination procedure has completed successfully, the V.250
command state is re-entered and the MT returns the final result code OK.
In the event of an erroneous termination or a failure to start up, the V.250 command state is re-entered and the MT
returns the final result code NO CARRIER or, if enabled, +CME ERROR. Attach, activate and other errors may be
reported.
The test command is used for requesting information on the supported layer 2 protocols.
This command may be used in both normal and modem compatibility modes.
Defined Values
<L2P>: a string parameter that indicates the layer 2 protocol to be used between the TE and MT
NULL none, for PDP type OSP:IHOSS (Obsolete)
PPP Point-to-point protocol for a PDP such as IP
PAD character stream for X.25 character (triple X PAD) mode (Obsolete)
X25 X.25 L2 (LAPB) for X.25 packet mode (Obsolete)
M-xxxx manufacturer-specific protocol (xxxx is an alphanumeric string)
If the value is omitted, the layer 2 protocol is unspecified. Other values are reserved and will result in an ERROR
response.
<cid>: a numeric parameter which specifies a particular PDP context definition (see the +CGDCONT and
+CGDSCONT commands).
Implementation
Optional if the D (dial) command can be used to specify Packet Domain operation.
