    5.2.1 General In this mode, user data is transmitted transparently via the serial interface and in TCP/IP packets via the GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. The INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial will act like a conventional modem at the serial interface. The remote terminal for this connection type receives the TCP/IP data and evalu- ates them directly, or has a virtual COM port driver (see Chap.

    5.2.1.2 Incoming TCP Connections The INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial is addressed via its IP address. Its IP address must be routable. The IP address may be static or dynamic. For dynamic IP addresses, the INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial supports the function to communicate the IP ad- dress it received during the dial-up into the GPRS/EDGE network to a remote ter- minal (see Chapter VCOM).

  • Page 31 It is based on the following mechanism: If the INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial is restarted in leased line operation, the pre- defined AutoDial default destination is dialed after 20 seconds. If the connection setup fails, the device will attempt to dial the AutoDial alternative destination.

    The connection setup and the connection itself are monitored. If the connection can not be established (network failure, remote system does not respond) or if the connection is terminated, the INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial will automatically start reconnecting. To limit the connection costs for inaccessible remote terminals (for each connec- tion setup data packets are created and billed), the delay time will increase for every new repeated attempt.

  • Page 35: Connection Acceptance

    The connection was accepted. CONNECT As soon as the INSYS GPRS/EDGE 5.0 serial has displayed the message PPP-IP SETUP, it can be reached by incoming TCP connections, i.e. it is in Listen mode at the TCP port which has been set with the command AT**TCPLISTENPORT.
