Activate PDP Context
This step will activate the modem's PDP context and cause the modem to have an
active connection with the network and it will then be able to move data. Before being
able to activate the PDP context the modem must have an active data plan, be
registered on a home or roaming network, have the correct APN configuration, and
have good signal quality. If the modem doesn't meet these requirements then it won't
be able to reliably connect to the network.
To activate the PDP context issue the appropriate AT command for your modem in the
table below followed by the enter key:
Where
<IPV4>
is the modem’s IPV4 address assigned by the network and
<IPV6>
is
the modem's IPV6 address assigned by the network. The modem will display either an
IPV4, IPV6, or both IP addresses depending on how the data plan with the carrier is
configured. Not all modems will display the IP address with the PDP activation.
On occasion the PDP context activation might fail and output an error message. If this
occurs users should immediately attempt to retry as the network may have been busy
during the attempt. If the error persists please check the signal quality, network
registration status, and APN configuration or contact NimbeLink for assistance.
To verify that the modem activated the PDP context and pulled an IP address from the
network issue the appropriate AT command for your modem in the table below
followed by the enter key:
