Connection
AT+i Programmer‘s Manual Version 8.32 5-4
Notes:
1. When going online in one of these modes, iChip activates its web server if the
AWS parameter is set (AWS>0).
2. In this mode, iChip does not go offline after a completion of any successful or
unsuccessful Internet session started by the host, even if the stay online flag is not used.
3. When a Carrier Lost event is detected, iChip automatically retries to establish a
connection (without performing a software reset), with the following exception: If, at the
time of the detection, the host was waiting for a reply from iChip or was in the process of
sending binary data (SSND, FSND, EMB), iChip reports error code 094 as soon as it can
and only then tries to re-establish the connection. In all other cases, iChip gives the host
no indication of losing the carrier. In the event of Carrier Lost, iChip closes any open
TCP active sockets, but leaves UDP sockets and TCP passive (listening) sockets intact
and updates their local IP if a new IP is assigned after establishing a new PPP connection.
iChip does not close any open Internet sessions (FTP/Telnet sessions and so on), nor
releases the handle of the active TCP sockets, thus giving the host a chance to read the
session errors and get buffered incoming data from active TCP sockets.
4. When the PFR is larger than 0 and the
PDSn parameters are configured, iChip
verifies that it is online by sending PING messages to the PING destination servers
defined in PDSn at a polling frequency defined by PFR. If both PING destination servers
do not respond, iChip concludes that the Internet connection failed and tries to reestablish
an Internet connection, as described above for the case of a lost carrier signal.
