Using an External Protocol Stack to Establish a Data Connection
To establish a connection using the protocol stack that resides on your system is a
2-step process. The first step is to register the modem with your cellular network. To
register your modem, enter the command
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”APN”.
Where
APN
is the APN associated with your SIM card. For example to register on an AT&T network
using the AT&T APN
Broadband
you enter the following command.
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”Broadband”
The modem should respond
OK
.
Next, verify that the modem is registered and attached by entering the command
A
T+CGATT?
The modem should respond:
+CGATT:
1
OK
If the modem responds with
+CGATT: 0,
then it is not attached to the network and you
must manually attach it by entering the command
AT+CGATT=1
Once your modem is registered it will stay registered so you do not need to repeat this
step each time you establish a data connection. To unregister your modem enter:
AT+CGDCONT=1
Now that your modem is registered you can go ahead and establish your data
connection. To establish your data connection enter:
ATD*99#
The modem responds with a connect message. Most cell providers use *99# as their
dial number, however your provider may require you to use a different number.
