The aim of this document is to list the AT commands that will be available for
GPRS operation1.

2 GPRS specific AT commands list

2.1 Commands available in the Class C software

4 AT command sequence for GPRS Mobile

Originating session
The following sequence is an example of AT commands script to perform a
GPRS data transfer (MO).
AT+CGCLASS
AT+CGDCONT
AT+CGATT
AT+CGEREG
AT+CGACT
AT+CGEREP

//
//
//
//
//
//

to set the class of the GPRS terminal

to define the PDP context
to perform a GPRS attach (registration on the GPRS network)
to check the registration status
to activate the context
to get any PDP context deactivation notification

// data transfer to be operated

AT+CGDATA
// to switch to on-line mode (emission/reception)
+++
// to switch back to command mode
// then, for ex. n minutes in idle mode
// then, new data transfer to be operated
AT+CGDATA
// to switch to on-line mode (emission/reception)
+++
// to switch back to command mode
// then for ex. after x hours, PDP deactivation notification from the network
+CGEV : NW DETACH
The AT+CGDATA or the ATD commands can directly be used if a PDP context
is already defined. These commands will automatically:

perform the GPRS attach

activate the PDP context
switch to on-line mode

// equivalent to AT+CGATT
// equivalent to AT+CGACT
//equivalent to AT+CGDATA

// then, to end the session

AT+CGACT
// to deactivate the context
AT+CGATT
// to perform the GPRS detach (deregistration from the
network)
