Easy GPRS User Guide 80000ST10028 Rev. 0 - 02/01/07 In GPRS operations instead, the connection is made directly towards internet as if the GPRS modem was a network IP socket interface. There's no data path reserved for the data exchange between the two peers, instead the resources are allocated dynamically on demand and the data exchanged is organized into packets typically TCP/IP, furthermore the maximum transfer speed can be much faster than GSM CSD. An example of GPRS co

With these parameters the GPRS network identifies the ISP to be used to gain access to the internet and defines the value of the IP address of the GPRS device once connected. • send command AT+CGDCONT[=[[,
