Configuring and using the UDP PAD service requires familiarity with AT
commands. In particular, an understanding of the +WS registers from
+WS60 to +WS74 (as described in the AT Command Reference Manual) is
essential.
The Sierra Wireless MP200 has two states: the command state and the data state. When the UDP PAD
service is selected (+WS45=0), the modem is in command state. The data state will be entered when a call
is originated by dialing or the cellular modem answers an incoming packet (call).
Escaping Data State Using TIES
The Time Independent Escape Sequence (TIES) is a method to shift the cellular modem from the data
state to the command state. It is enabled by setting register +WS60=1 (the default).
The escape sequence is the string AT+++, ending with the Primary Forwarding Character (defined by
register +WS64). The complete sequence must fit within the current packet; otherwise, it will not be
included in the TIES checking.
CDPD Dialing Out – Client Sessions
The Sierra Wireless MP200 can be used to originate a UDP session by “dialing” an IP address and port
using the ATD[ip_address.port] command. The modem will only answer calls addressed to port
2100. The modem will go on-line (into data state) and wait for a packet to send or one to arrive. While the
session is open, only traffic from the dialed server will be accepted by the MP200.
The local host (the ZENO
®
-3200) can compose packets and forward them to the network. Packets from
the called server will be delivered to the local host.
To close the session, the local host must leave data state by issuing the TIES or toggling DTR (if
configured with (AT&D1 or AT&D2) followed by a “hang up” using the ATH command.
CDPD Answering a Call – Server Sessions
The Sierra Wireless MP200 cellular modem can be configured to auto-answer incoming packets by
opening a session when a packet arrives. This is handled by setting ATS0=1. The MP200 will open a
session and enter the data state when a packet addressed to the cellular modem’s IP address arrives on any
port.
When a packet arrives, the modem sends the CONNECT message, enters the data state, and sends the
packet to the local host (the ZENO
®
-3200). Again, the cellular modem will remain in the data state until
the local host issues the TIES or toggling DTR (if configured with AT&D1 or AT&D2) followed by a
“hang up” using the ATH command.
CDPD Packet Assembly
A packet is started and buffered when the local host starts sending data to the cellular modem. If the
buffer reaches the maximum packet length, the packet is forwarded and a new packet is started.
The modem can echo characters sent from the local host if register +WS62=1 and, in cases where
terminal emulation program is being used, it allows typing and sending messages in real time.
