Hi,  
If the Q2686 goes out of GPRS coverage, or for any other reason drops out and issues a “WIP\_BEV\_IP\_DISCONNECTED” event to the GPRS handler, which means that we can never reconnect to the device unless i cycle the power.

what is the best way to reconnect it? should i have a timer and check to see if its connected, say once a minute? and if its diconnected i can reconnect it.  
Do i have to recreate all the tcp servers again? if so, how do i close the old ones so there is no memory wasted…

or should i close the GPRS bearer, and maybe try and open/start it again? does this automatically free up all the tcp servers?

Thanks.

I added a timer to check if GPRS is disconnected, to reconnect.  
Which it does. but then i still lose comms. normal gsm atdxxxxxxxx ath etc works, so theres a carrier, and good signal.  
any ideas?  
how do i find out what the following mean?

Trace RLU 1 Unable to find the string of the remote trace in the file (ID = 528)
