1Introduction

This document briefly introduces the PPP functions of Quectel’s LTE Standard

EC200x&EC600S&EG912Y series modules, including PPP application modes, setting procedures,

connection modes, termination steps, and dialing examples.

This document is applicable to following Quectel modules.

EC200T series

EC200S series

EC600S-CN

EG912Y series

2PPP Application Mode

The usage of PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is illustrated in the following figure. Use UART port or USB

port for PPP connection. The module provides a PPP server for application, and the application provides

a PPP client for the module. Meanwhile, the application must provide protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP(S),

etc. When PPP connection is established, the IP packet data stream from the application will be

transmitted to the Internet through the module.

Most standard operating systems (e.g. Windows, Unix/Linux) include the PPP protocol stack. For

operating systems that have no available applications for PPP connection, it is necessary to develop

applicable application software first.

3PPP Setting

3.1. General Procedures for PPP Setting

After the module registers on GPRS network, it is necessary to set the APN for PPP by AT+CGDCONT

and to start PPP by ATD*99#. After executing ATD*99#, the module will enter the PPP frame interaction

process, which is based on standard PPP protocol. The module data packet interaction description is

shown in the figure below. For more details about standard PPP, see RFC 1661.

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","CMNET"

Recommended Power-on/off:

For details of the recommended

power-on/off methods of each

applicable module, see their

Hardware Design documents

respectively.

Exit from the PPP dialing if (U)SIM

card is not ready in 20 s.

(U)SIM card is ready

Query (U)SIM Card Status:

AT+CPIN. Reboot the module if it

fails to detect (U)SIM card in 20 s with

AT+CPIN?.

APN Configuration:

1. APN must be set by

AT+CGDCONT.

2. Use AT+CGACT? to check

whether the current context has been

activated when AT+CGDCONT

returns error.

Packet Interaction:

1. Exit from the procedure of Packet

Interaction by “+++”.

2. The module will report NO

CARRIER when PPP connection is

terminated.

LCP Negotiation:

1. If UART is used, ensure the baud

rate between MCU and the module is

the same.

AUTH Negotiation:

1. Ensure the type of AUTH is one of

the following two: PAP(0xc023),

CHAP(0xc223).

IPCP Negotiation:

1. Check whether MCU has got legal

IP and DNS address.

2. Check whether the amount of DNS

MCU is equal to the amount

requested by MCU.

3. Terminate PPP connection if IPCP

negotiation between TA and TE is not

completed in 90 s, and then retry PPP

setup.

Exception Handling:

1. Check whether the PPP Terminate-

Request packet is right.

2. Reboot the module if the steps

above do not work.

Start timer when

IPCP negotiation

begins

Succeed to

negotiate IPCP in

Packet Interaction

1. Synchronization between TE and TA.

2. Fix and save baud rate by AT+IPR=xxx&W. If

USB modem port is used, this could be ignored.

Network:

1. It indicates that the module has

registered on network when

AT+CREG? returns 1 or 5.

2. Reboot the module if it fails to

Exit from the PPP dialing if

the module fails to register

on network in 60s AT+CREG?

Query network

status

PS Network:

1. It indicates that the module has

registered on PS when AT+CGREG?

returns 1 or 5.

2. It is able to go to next step without

registering on PS in 60 s.
