1.GPRSOverview

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a GSMbased

wireless packet switched technology used to provide endtoend
wideareawirelessIPconnections.Generallyspeaking,theGPRS
isahighspeeddataprocessingtechnologywhichtransfersdata
to users in Packet mode. Although the GPRS is a transitional
solution from the GSM network to 3G, yet it has prominent
advantages in many aspects such as the transfer rate, wireless
resource management and billing. The GPRS is especially
suitableforintermittentandsporadicorfrequentandsmallpacket
data transmission and also suitable for occasional bulky data
transmission.TheGPRSisonlyanordinarysubnetwithrespectto

TermsandDefinitions
GPRS: The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a new
packet data bearer service developed based on the Global
SystemforMobileCommunications(GSM).
GSM:TheGlobalSystemforMobileCommunications(GSM)isa
standarddevelopedbyEuropefordigitalmobilenetworktoenable
network operators around the world to use the same mobile
network standard and users to roam and switch carrierswithout
replacingphones.
APN: The Access Point Name (APN) is a mandatory parameter
foryoutoaccesstheGPRSnetwork.Itdeterminesinwhichmode
youaccesstheGPRSnetwork.
Note: To check the APN, see 3 Check GPRS Information for APN
settings,see2.2SetGPRSConnectionParameters.
WAP: The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a globally
uniformopenprotocolstandardusedtoprovideInternetcontents
and advanced valueadded services for mobile terminals. It is a
simplifiedwirelessInternetprotocol.TheWAPcombinesInternet

usingtheGPRSfunction.
Note: Some SIM cards may not be GPRScapable. If the GPRS is not
activated on your phone, please contact your carrier to have it
activated.

There are many factors that may lead to the GPRS activation
failure, for example, weak network signal (less than two bars),
insufficient SIM card balance, carriers failure to support GPRS
and access point error. If the activation success icon is not
displayedontheFRTscapableofautomaticGPRSactivation,the
GPRS activation fails. In that case, you can check whether it is
causedbyanyoftheabovefactorsandthenmanuallyactivatethe
GPRS.

2.4TransferDataUsingGPRS

Currently the GPRS data transfer is implemented based on the

PUSH SDKwhich is aHTTPbased protocol. By embedding the
PUSH SDK into the program, users can conveniently
download/uploademployeeinformationandverificationdataover
theGPRS.
Further,wehavedevelopedasetofPUSHSDKbasedsoftware
with B/S architecture. The software is known as the Automatic
Data Master Server (ADMS). Users can collect data directly by
usingtheADMSandimportthecollecteddataintotheirdatabase
orothersoftware.
As for the ADMS software, we provide a public test website
http://121.15.11.106. YoucanaccessthiswebsitethroughtheIP

4.FAQ

1. Question: For FRTs with GPRS automatically activated,

whyisthe iconnotdisplayedonthescreen?

Answer:TheSIMcardisnotGPRScapable,ortheSIMcard
balanceisinsufficient.Generally theGPRSisonly available
twotothreehoursafteryourechargeyourSIMcard.
2. Question: Why is the icon (that is, the GPRS is
connected but the Web Server is not connected)
displayed?
Answer: Generally this error occurs due to the incorrect
configuration of the Web Server IP address and port No.
Please check whether the Web Server is available on the
computer where Internet access is available. Enter
http://[IP]:[PortNo.]intheaddressbarofthebrowsertocheck
whether the Web Server is available. If you fail to open the
web page on the computer, check whether the Web Server
runsproperly.
If the settings of theWeb Server are proper, checkwhether
theFRThasaserialnumberorwhethertheFRTisenrolled
ontheserver(thatis,whethertheFRTisallowedtoaccess
theWEBserver).
3. Question: Why is the icon not displayed on the
screenupontheFRTstartup?
Answer: Check the Modem model, mobile carrier and
registrationstatusbyqueryingtheGPRSinformation.Ifthere

Page31
 GPRSUserManual(Version1.1)

is no Modem model and mobile carrier information and the

registrationstatusisSIMcardregistrationfailure,theproblem
liesintheGSMnetworksignal.IfthereisModemmodel,but

cardisfaulty.
4. Question:WhyisthepromptActivatingModemfailed

Answer:TheFRTfailstoopentheserialporthandle.Please
check whether Modem shares a serial port with other
functionsortheserialportsettingisincorrect.
5. Question:WhyisthepromptInitializingModemfailed

Answer: The connection between the Modem and FRT is
faulty or the Modem does not operate. Please check the
connection cable between them and check whether the
indicatoroftheModemmoduleissolidonorblinks.
6. Question: Why is the prompt SIM Registering

Answer: The FRT is not registered on the network of the
mobilecarrierandinthiscase,proceedasfollows:
1.Waitforawhileoradjusttheantennaangle.
2.ForFRTswithcolorLCDs,checkwhetherthefrequencyof
