1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of the document
Based on module AT command manual, this document will introduce TCPIP application process.
Developers could understand and develop application quickly and efficiently based on this document.
1.2 Related documents
[1] A76XXSeries_AT Command Manual
1.3 Conventions and abbreviations
In this document, the GSM engines are referred to as following term:

ME (Mobile Equipment);
MS (Mobile Station);
TA (Terminal Adapter);
DCE (Data Communication Equipment) or facsimile DCE (FAX modem, FAX board);
In application, controlling device controls the GSM engine by sending AT Command via its serial interface.
The controlling device at the other end of the serial line is referred to as following term:
TE (Terminal Equipment);
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) or plainly "the application" which is running on an embedded system;
Other Conventions:
PDP(Packet Data Protocol);
TCP(Terminal Control Protocol);
UDP(User Datagram Protocol);
1.4 The process of Using TCPIP AT Commands
Figure illustrates how to use TCP/IP AT commands:
1.5 Error Handling
1.5.1 Executing FTP(S) AT Commands Fails
When executing TCPIP AT commands, if ERROR response is received from the module, please check
whether the U(SIM) card is inserted and whether it is +CPIN: READY returned when executing AT+CPIN?.
1.5.2 PDP Activation Fails
If it is failed to activate a PDP context with AT+NETOPEN command, please make sure the PDP is not
activated. You can use AT+NETOPEN? to query it.
If all above configurations are correct, but activating the PDP context by AT+NETOPEN command still fails,
please reboot the module to resolve this issue. After rebooting the module, please check the
configurations mentioned above for at least.
1.5.3 Error Response of TCPIP Server
If you encounter other errors, please refer to chapter 4 to correct them.
1.5.4 Description of Data Access Mode
Transparent Mode
(Data Mode)
Access Mode Direct Push Mode
Non-Transparent Mode
(Command Mode) Buffer Access Mode
The default mode is direct push mode.
1. Direct Push Mode

In direct push mode, user can send data by AT+CIPSEND. The received data will be outputted to COM port
directly byURC as “+RECV FROM:<IP ADDRESS>:<PORT><CR><LF>+IPD(data
length)<CR><LF><data>”.
2. Buffer Access Mode

AT+CIPRXGET=1 is used to enter into buffer access mode. In buffer access mode, user sends data by
AT+CIPSEND. After receiving data, the module will buffer it and report a URC as “+CIPRXGET:
1,<link_num>” to notify the host. Then host can retrieve data by AT+CIPRXGET.
3. Transparent Access Mode

AT+CIPMODE=1 is used to enter into transparent access mode. In transparent mode, the data received
from COM port will be sent to internet directly, and the received data from Internet will be output to COM
port directly as well. “+++” is used to exit from transparent access mode. When “+++” returns OK, the
module will be switched to command mode. In transparent access mode, host cannot execute any AT
command.Note: Currently, only one socket is available under transparent mode, either TCP client or TCP
server.In transparent mode, the first server (<server_index> = 0) and the first client socket(<link_num> = 0)
are used for transparent mode operation. Other servers (<server_index> = 1-3) and other client sockets
(<link_num> = 1-9) are still used in command mode.
4. Switch Between Data Mode and Command Mode

(1) Data mode -> Command mode
Software switching: escape sequence +++. Please take care, this is a complete command, do not
separate each character. And the time delay before and after this sequence should be more than 1000
milliseconds, the interval of each character should not be more than 900 milliseconds.
Hardware switching: DTR pin could be used to trigger data mode and command mode.Command AT&D1
should be configured before application.
(2) Command Mode -> Data Mode
ATO is used to enter into transparent access mode from command mode. If it enters into transparent
access mode successfully, CONNECT<text> will be returned.

4 Appendix
4.1 Summary of Error Codes
When you use these commands : AT+CIPACK AT+CIPRXGET, If something goes wrong, they maybe
reported as +IP ERROR: <err_info>.
The fourth parameter <errMode> of AT+CIPCCFG (TODO) is used to determine how <err_info> is
displayed.
If <errMode> is set to 0, the <err_info> is displayed with numeric value.
If <errMode>is set to 1, the <err_info> is displsayed with string value.
The default is displayed with string value.
The following list is the description of the <err info>.
Numeric Value String Value

0 Connection time out
1 Bind port failed
2 Port overflow
3 Create socket failed
4 Network is already opened
5 Network is already closed
6 No clients connected
7 No active client
8 Network not opened
9 Client index overflow
10 Connection is already created
11 Connection is not created
12 Invalid parameter
13 Operation not supported
14 DNS query failed
15 TCP busy
16 Net close failed for socket opened
17 Sending time out
18 Sending failure for network error
19 Open failure for network error
20 Server is already listening

21 Operation failed
22 No data
When you use these commands : AT+NETOPEN, AT+NETCLOSE, AT+CIPOPEN, AT+CIPSEND,

AT+CIPCLOSE, AT+SERVERSTART, AT+SERVERSTOP ,If something goes wrong, they will report the
wrong number
The following list is the description of the <err>.
<err> Description of <err>

0 operation succeeded
1 Network failure
2 Network not opened
3 Wrong parameter
4 Operation not supported
5 Failed to create socket
6 Failed to bind socket
7 TCP server is already listening
8 Busy
9 Sockets opened
10 Timeout
11 DNS parse failed for AT+CIPOPEN
12 Unknown error
4.2 Unsolicited Result Codes
Information Description
+CIPEVENT: NETWORK Network is closed for network error(Out of service, etc). When
CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY this event happens, user’s application needs to check and close
all opened sockets, and then uses AT+NETCLOSE to release the
network library if AT+NETOPEN? shows the network library is still
opened.
+IPCLOSE: Socket is closed passively.

<client_index>,<close_reason> <client_index> is the link number.
<close_reason>:
0 - Closed by local, active
1 - Closed by remote, passive
2 - Closed for sending timeout or DTR off
+CLIENT: < TCP server accepted a new socket client, the index
link_num>,<server_index>,<clie is<link_num>, the TCP server index is <server_index>. The peer
nt_IP>:<port> IP address is <client_IP>, the peer port is <port>.
