Data Application
  • Commands including AT + CGDCONT / AT + CSTT / AT + SAPBR are used to set APN. Which of them should be used in different applications ?

    Users should use AT + CGDCONT when creating PPPD application with modules.

    AT + CSTT should be used in module embedded TCPIP protocol.

    AT + SAPBR should be used when using SIMCom application protocol ( such as MMS / EMAIL / FTP / HTTP / LBS ).

  • What's the difference between the quick sending mode and general mode of TCP ?

    The quick sending mode and general mode can be set through AT + CIPQSEND command. The default mode is general mode.

    AT + CIPQSEND = 0 refers to general mode; AT + CIPQSEND = 1 refers to quick sending mode.

    In general mode, the active result mode "SEND OK" will be reported at the module side when the far-end receives the data sent by the module.

    In quick sending mode, URC "DATA ACCEPT:< length >" will be reported at the module side whether the far-end receive the data or not. Users can query the data sending state through AT + CIPACK command.

  • Why does PPP fail ?

    1) Check if the port is occupied.

    2) Check if the baud rate of the module, modulator-demodulator, and dial-up connection.

    3) Check if the APN setting is correct.

    4) Check if the stream control states of the module and the modulator-demodulator are consistent.

    5) Check if the SIM is available for use.

  • What's the maximum timeout value when using the AT+CIPSEND command to send data to SIM900 modules ?

    The maximum timeout value for the SW of SIM900 series is 7 minutes. However, in practical application, if the module cannot receive acknowledgement from the far-end within 3 minutes, SIMCom recommends that users resend the data. If ACK is not received from the far-end 3 times, SIMCom suggests that users check the network status through AT + CREG, or connect and reestablish the connection with AT + CSQ or AT + CIPSHUT.

  • What's the maximum timeout value when using the AT+CIPSEND command to send data to SIM800 modules ?

    The maximum timeout value for the SW of SIM800 series is 11 minutes. In practical application, refer to 4.10.

  • What's the maximum timeout value when using the AT+CIPSTART command to set the TCP connection with SIM900/SIM800 modules ?
