11.17 ATA Manual Response to a Network Request
for PDP Context Activation
Description: The V.250 ATA command may be used to accept a network request for a PDP context
activation announced by the unsolicited result codes “RING” or “+CRING: GPRS”. The MT
responds with CONNECT, enters V.250 online data state and follows the same procedure
as it would after having received a AT+CGANS=1 with no <L2P> or <cid> values
specified.
If you try to answer a request which is no longer present or which is already answered by
another instance, NO CARRIER is returned.
Exec Command Syntax: ATA
Response: CONNECT
NO CARRIER
11.18 ATD*99# Request GPRS Service
Description: This command causes the MT to perform whatever actions are necessary to establish
communication between the TE and the external PDN.
The V.250 ‘D’ (Dial) command causes the MT to enter the V.250 online data state and, with the
TE, to start the specified layer 2 protocol. No further commands may follow on the AT command
line. GPRS attachment and PDP context activation procedures may take place prior to or during
the PDP startup if they have not already been performed using the AT+CGATT and AT+CGACT
commands.
See command examples in Section 11.22,Using GPRS AT commands (Examples)”.
To confirm acceptance of the command before entering the V.250 online data state command
will respond with CONNECT.
When the layer 2 protocol has terminated, either as a result of an orderly shut down of the PDP
or an error, the MT enters V.250 command state and returns NO CARRIER (for details refer to
Section 11.5.1, Automatic deactivation of PDP context during dial-up PPP).
Exec Command Syntax: ATD*99[* [<called_address>][* [<L2P>][* [<cid>]]]]#
Response: CONNECT
NO CARRIER
Parameter Descriptions:
<called_address>
This parameter is currently not used and needs not to be specified.
<L2P>
Layer 2 protocol to be used between the TE and MT.
“PPP“ Layer 2 protocol PPP
“1“ Layer 2 protocol PPP
<cid>
Parameter specifies a particular PDP context definition (see AT+CGDCONT). If no context is specified, an
internal context with default properties is used (see AT+CGDCONT, AT+CGQREQ and AT+CGQMIN).

Notes:
If the Multi-Tech wireless modem is in dedicated mode, command returns the result code BUSY.
ATD is used as a standard V.250 AT command, too.
