Keep Alive
The data transfer via GPRS/EDGE is packet-oriented. If no side of the TCP connec-
tion sends data, there will be no traffic via the transmission link. This also means
that it can not be determined if the remote terminal has disappeared without
properly terminating the connection (e.g. due to a failure of the radio network or a
failure of the remote terminal).
It can also occur that GPRS/EDGE network providers terminate connections them-
selves to be able to offer the resources to other participants, if there is no data
transfer for an extended period of time.
For these cases, TCP offers a suitable accessory by sending Keep Alive messages.
The period between two monitoring packets can be set to 1 minute steps (or be
turned off completely).
If three successive monitoring packets are not responded to, the connection is re-
garded as terminated, and the INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial returns to offline
mode. If the device is configured as a leased line device, the connection will then
be re-established.
Keep Alive will mostly be used for leased lines, because the application on location
is usually not able to assume the connection control and monitoring.
Alternatively, the settings can be entered or modified using the terminal pro-
gram.
TCP Keep Alive Timer is set to 10 minutes
AT**KEEP=10
Save changes
AT**SAVE
Changes take effect with a restart of the de-
vice
AT**RESET
Note
Keep Alive creates traffic, as each Keep Alive packet is in principle
an empty TCP/IP message which must be confirmed by the remote
terminal. For a Keep Alive, two empty TCP/IP messages with 40 byte
each are sent.
When selection the TCP aggregation timeouts, the rate and the bill-
ing type in your GPRS/EDGE contract must be considered as well.

Forming Data Packets
For a TCP/IP-based transmission such as the
“TCP transparent” connection, the transmit-
ted amount of data consists not only of the
sum of all user data of the application and
the required TCP/IP headers.
