3.31.2 Easy GPRS definition

The Easy GPRS feature provides a way to replace the need of an Internet TCP/IP stack at the

terminal equipment side. The steps that will be required to obtain a virtual serial connection (that is

actually a socket) to the Internet peer are:

• Configuring the GPRS Access

• Configuring the embedded TCP/IP stack behavior

• Defining the Internet Peer to be contacted

• Request the GPRS and socket connections to be opened (host is connected)

• Exchange raw data

• Close the socket and GPRS context

All these steps are achieved through AT commands.

As for common modem interface, two logical statuses are involved: command mode and data traffic

mode:

• In Command Mode

(CM), some AT commands are provided to configure the Data Module

Internet stack and to start up the data traffic.

• In data traffic mode

(Socket Mode, SKTM), the client can send/receive a raw data stream

which will be encapsulated in the previously configured TCP / IP packets which will be sent to

the other side of the network and vice versa. Control plane of ongoing socket connection is

deployed internally to the module.

Commands Reference Guide.
