GSM : GPRS class

## attachGPRS()

#### Description

Connects to the specified Access Point Name (APN) to initiate GPRS communication.

Every cellular provider has an Access Point Name (APN) that serves as a bridge between the cellular network and the internet. Sometimes, there is a username and password associated with the connection point. For example, the Bluevia APN is bluevia.movistar.es, but it has no password or login name.

This page lists a number of carrier's information, but it may not be up to date. You may need to get this information from your service provider.

#### Syntax

grps.attachGPRS(APN, user, password)

#### Parameters

- APN : char array, the Access Point Name (APN) provided by the mobile operator
- user : char array, the username for the APN
- password : char array, the password to access the APN

#### Returns

char array : ERROR, IDLE, CONNECTING, GSM_READY, GPRS_READY, TRANSPARENT_CONNECTED

#### Example

#include <GSM.h>
// PIN Number
#define PINNUMBER ""
// APN data
#define GPRS_APN "GPRS_APN" // replace your GPRS APN
#define GPRS_LOGIN "login" // replace with your GPRS login
#define GPRS_PASSWORD "password" // replace with your GPRS password
// initialize the library instance
GPRS gprs;
GSM gsmAccess; // include a 'true' parameter for debug enabled
GSMServer server(80); // port 80 (http default)
// timeout
const unsigned long __TIMEOUT__ = 10*1000;
void setup()
{
// initialize serial communications
Serial.begin(9600);
// connection state
boolean notConnected = true;
// Start GSM shield
// If your SIM has PIN, pass it as a parameter of begin() in quotes
while(notConnected)
{
if((gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER)==GSM_READY) &
(gprs.attachGPRS(GPRS_APN, GPRS_LOGIN, GPRS_PASSWORD)==GPRS_READY))
notConnected = false;
else
{
Serial.println("Not connected");
delay(1000);
}
}
Serial.println("Connected to GPRS network");
// start server
server.begin();
//Get IP.
IPAddress LocalIP = gprs.getIPAddress();
Serial.println("Server IP address=");
Serial.println(LocalIP);
}
void loop() {
// listen for incoming clients
GSM3MobileClientService client = server.available();
if (client)
{
while (client.connected())
{
if (client.available())
{
Serial.println("Receiving request!");
bool sendResponse = false;
while(char c=client.read()) {
if (c == '\n') sendResponse = true;
}
// if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
// character)
if (sendResponse)
{
// send a standard http response header
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println();
client.println("<html>");
// output the value of each analog input pin
for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {
client.print("analog input ");
client.print(analogChannel);
client.print(" is ");
client.print(analogRead(analogChannel));
client.println("<br />");
}
client.println("</html>");
//necessary delay
delay(1000);
client.stop();
}
}
}
}
}
