PIONEERPOS Establishing Gprs PDP Context, Activating a Saved Profile in G24-L, AT+CGATT=1

Chapter 4: Using the Commands

GPRS

When using the GPRS, it is recommended to implement a "keep alive" mechanism.

The G24-L memory resources should not be used as a buffer for the user, the user maintains its own memory and flow control in its own application. The G24-L has finite limited resources such as network related, SIM card and phone memory. In general the user should use a single resource at a time. As an example, when G24-L GPRS network resources are in an active session, user should not manually detach from the network or place a CSD call etc.

Note: The basic GPRS concept is be “always connected” and there is no charge for being connected (only per real data transferred). GPRS users are advised to connect the GPRS network once in the beginning of a session and remain connected rather then to toggle from online to offline and back in a high rate. In specific cases when this is needed, contact customer care for advice and knowledge base.

Establishing GPRS PDP Context

When using the GPRS network for any IP data, you must be attached to the GPRS network before activating PDP context.
