Start and stop gprs bearer connection

Hi,
Currently I’m using TCP sample program(present in open sdk) to upload the data through GPRS connection ,
In that code It connects directly to the GPRS and open bearer connection , and it does not close the radio link .

I want to open whenever I need and close when the data upload is done… How to implement this …?

regards
Ravee

I presume this refers to your other thread: https://forum.sierrawireless.com/t/q2686-tcp-sample-code/4922/6

The WIP User Guide gives a State Diagram depicting Bearer management - you need to implement that!

Similarly, there is a State Diagram depicting TCP Channel management …

Hi,
The restarting problem has been solved …

But Still I’m facing problem at the GPRS upload …

The following is the code I have written for GPRS start and stop

When ever I want start the GPRS I call start_stop_gprs(1) and with para ‘0’ for stop …

Just to check I send the data from external device at every 2 min once , It uploads some 6 times then it fails at the Client connecting to server( in TCP action while establishing the connection with server) and stops there and throws the error in connecting …What may be the problem …? I’m I refreshing the GPRS properly …?
pls help me

How, exactly, does it fail?

You need to answer the above question first:

Once you know how, exactly, it fails then you can think about what might cause that particular failure;

Once you know what the failure mechanism is, then you think about how to fix that!

This is a standard debugging process - nothing special or specific for Open-AT or GPRS.

For more debugging tips, see: 8052.com/faqs/120313

and: techonlineindia.com/article/ … anner.aspx

Thanks, i’ll go through the debugging tips … as per now every time I try to open a new TCP connection (by calling the appli_entry_point() in the below code ) . and closing the TCP channel then closing the GPRS before uploading the nex data

   print("connecting to client\n\n");

Before that I just want to clear that , my code which I have written for refreshing the GPRS connection is correct or not? Becoz once I stopped GPRS i’m not receiving WIP_BEV_STOPPED response … and If I restart the device it works fine for next 6 to 7 times
is there any sample code to do this …?

Ravee

Hi,

Can any one help out in writting a proper GPRS refreshing code (with reference my code)…?

reagrds
Ravee

At a quick glance:
Your evh function doesn’t have a WIP_BEV_STOPPED case, that’s where you should set of a wip_bearerClose()
i.e. call wip_bearerStop() and when the evh has finished closing the WIP_BEV_STOPPED event is generated, then you can close.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply … Now i’m able to close the bearer… and receiving the proper response from
if(0==wip_bearerclose(b)){ print(" bearer closed")}

But some times suddenly IP gets terminated after uploading the data , Do I need to restart my entire device again ,? becoz I called the open_and_start_bearer();, it couldnt get connected , i.e it didnt generated any event “evh_bearer” handler …

rgds

Again: What, exactly, do you mean by that?

You really need to get out of the habit of just saying “it doesn’t work” and, instead, think about what’s going on & how to fix it.
See: Start and stop gprs bearer connection - #8 by raveesa

Hi,
thanks for nice reply …
Since I’m beginner to this I felt its better to ask this in the forum, becoz many people might have come across the same problem , and single problem may depends on many factor also …
I’m basically in to hardware design , due to some region I have to make this work , hence it requires more time for me to understand…

regards
Ravee

"single problem may depends on many factor also … "
Exactly. So we don’t know what the problems is. So check your return codes to the functions, make sure you handle all events in the event handlers, and let us know what is happening.

So think about how you’d debug a piece of hardware.

If someone came to you saying, “my board doesn’t work - what’s wrong with it?” would you think that’s a useful description of the problem?
Would you you be able to identify the fault from that information?

Hi BenFT01 ,

I could not successfully complete the GPRS part , Here I have included my gprs code part
After debugging , I have noticed the following two problem .

  1. IP communication terminated(WIP_BEV_IP_DISCONNECTED) , while uploading the data suddenly IP will get terminated .

  2. Gprs connection failure (WIP_BEV_CONN_FAILED), When I call the gprs start bearer after few second I receive this status message .

Note : This happens irregularly(i.e data will upload some 20/30 times and in the next time this happens) .

I have come to know that these two problems are quite common in real time , and we need to try to re establish the connection after 5 to 10 sec when we have these problems .

So I went with trying this(I have including this code also i.e Re_establish()) , But when I try to re connect, status shows that WIP_BERR_ALREADY open,
Though i’m closing the connection before re connecting , it shows bearer is already opened . and it will be continuously trying this .

Pls help me to debug the “connection re establishing” part

You could try putting the wip_bearerClose in the WIP_BEV_CONN_FAILED event and the wip_bearerStop in the WIP_BEV_IP_DISCONNECTED event.

I think I have seen this problem. If the lost of connection is due certain types of network failure, sometimes the only thing to do is reboot. I don’t know if you are in this situation.

Another thing you can do is only open the connection when you need to communicate, but you might be doing that already.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply .

The problem to reboot the system is , I will loose the data acquired from the external device, Once I acquired from the external device I need to send that to the server .And I feel writing to flash is not a good solution .
And when I call wip_bearerStop () it responds to with WIP_BEV_STOPPED, it wont go to the WIP_BEV_IP_DISCONNECTED to call wip_bearerClose,So i’m calling first stop function out side and close function in WIP_BEV_STOPPED …

regards
chethan

Have you looked at ADL_MEM_UNINIT:question:

As BenFT01 says, there are certain failures where a reset seems to be the only option… :frowning:

Writing to flash could be a very good solution :wink: or persistant ram.

WIP_BEV_CONN_FAILED indicates that the connection is not started, so you don’t need to stop it. Just wip_bearerClose.

When you get a disconnect you could launch some diagnostics first
i.e. AT+CSQ
and then try again but with poll_creg to see if the network is OK.

There is an attribute for the TCP/IP connection called KEEP_ALIVE which may or may not help. It depends what has failed.

You can get a whole new bunch of diagnostics by launching adl_gprsSubscribe() and handling all the events. Might help in seeing what is happening.

I did find something odd about trying to shut down and relaunch a failed connection. I think I reboot these days if all else fails.

Hello,
I have found that bearerClose does not dettach the bearer (ie at+cgatt? gives cgatt=1) if you detach with at+cgatt=0 then start over it seems to fix it.
