11.Step-by-Step Procedure

for Establishing a

GPRS Connection Via Bluetooth

Introduction

You will use a cell phone associated with ProMark3 RTK to op-

erate in NTRIP or Direct IP mode via a GPRS connection. The

cell phone should be a Bluetooth-enabled device fitted with a

“full IP” SIM card

that allows a GPRS connection to be es-

tablished with the provider.

When first implementing a GPRS connection, you will have to

go through a relatively long procedure. But if you strictly fol-

low this procedure, re-establishing this connection next time

you use your ProMark3 RTK will only take a few seconds.

Entering the right GPRS call number is essential to establish

a GPRS connection. Three cases are possible:

• GPRS connection profile known

• GPRS connection profile unknown

• Special cases wherein a modem command is needed.

In all cases, you may have to get in touch with your provider

in order to settle the connection issue.

Connection Profile Known

The GPRS connection profile you want to use is already stored

in your cell phone. Your GPRS provider put it there. In this

case, you will just have to refer to this profile when setting the

GPRS connection. Referring to this profile will be made by

simply using the adequate GPRS call number. This number is

in the form:

*99***<Profile_No.>#

Where <Profile_No.> is the rank of the desired profile in the

list of available GPRS connection profiles. To list the connec-

tion profiles stored in your cell phone, refer to its instructions

manual.
