APN configuration method and equipment

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of mobile communication, and particularly relates to an APN configuration method and equipment.

Background

The APN is a network access technology, and is a parameter that must be configured when a mobile phone accesses the internet, and determines which access mode the mobile phone accesses the network through.

For a mobile phone user, there are many types of external networks that can be accessed, for example: internet, WAP site, group enterprise intranet, and industry intranet. The range and access mode of different access points are different, and how the network side knows which network the mobile phone will access after activation, and thus allocates IP of which network segment, is to be distinguished by the APN, that is, the APN determines what network the mobile phone of the user accesses through which access mode.

Disclosure of Invention

In one aspect of the invention, APN related configuration is performed on a WEB user interface;

after configuration is completed on the WEB user interface, issuing a corresponding AT command according to configuration content, thereby completing configuration of APN;

and recording the configuration data stored in the WEB user interface.

The process of carrying out APN related configuration on the WEB user interface comprises the following steps:

firstly, parameter configuration is carried out on a WEB user interface;

the intermediate layer OAMD module acquires WEB interface parameter configuration information, issues the WEB interface parameter configuration information to the LTE module in a message queue mode, and operates the APN;

the APN carries out logic judgment, when parameter configuration information is incorrect or conflicts occur, wrong information is returned to the OAMD module, and then the OAMD module informs the WEB user interface configuration that errors occur;

if all the configurations are normal, a relevant AT command is issued to configure, then the return result of the AT acquisition module is written into the memory, and the OAMD module is informed;

after receiving the correct message, the OAMD module reads data from the memory, so as to provide the data for the WEB user interface to display.

Several embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which:

fig. 1 is a flowchart of an APN configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of system module data interaction according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description

According to one or more embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, an APN configuration method includes the following steps:

apn initialization: when the system is powered on, the process reads apn configuration in the flash, including apn name, type, authentication information, etc., to configure each apn.

Apn Normal Access: the AT commands the correct configuration apn, the network access operation will proceed. At the moment, the network access parameter information can be captured through packet capturing to detect whether the configuration is correct or not.

WEBUI modification: in a specific using process, a user can carry out apn configuration according to own requirements, and the configuration can be directly operated on the WEBUI

4. Configuring AT to send: after the configuration is completed on the WEBUI, relevant AT commands are issued according to the configuration content, so that the configuration apn is realized.

Apn configuration record: after the WEBUI configuration is completed, the configured content is recorded and stored in the flash. This may facilitate the user to continue configuration between restarts after restarting the device.

When configuring multiple APNs, the relevant AT commands of the supported 3GPP standard protocol are as follows:

AT + CGDCONT-can view the parameter information of local configuration, such as ipv4/ipv6, apnnamee, etc

AT + CGCONTRDP-can check the network access parameter information sent by the server

AT + CGAUTH-configurable authentication information, e.g. NONE/PAP/CHAP etc

According to one or more embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, an APN configuration method includes:

a. firstly, parameter configuration is carried out on WEBUI;

b. the OAMD of the middle layer acquires interface parameter configuration information, and sends the interface parameter configuration information to the LTE module in a message queue mode to operate the multiple APNs;

c. the bottom APN side carries out logic judgment, when parameter configuration information is incorrect and conflicts occur, wrong information is set back to the OAMD, and then the OAM informs the WEBUI to configure errors;

d. if all the configurations are normal, issuing the relevant AT to perform the configuration, then obtaining the processing return result of the communication module to the AT command through the AT, writing the processing return result into the memory, and informing the OAMD;

and e, after receiving the correct message, the OAMD reads data from the memory so as to provide the WEBUI display.

And the OAMD and the LTE mutually notify the multiple APNs in a message queue mode. And mutually appointing the message type and the corresponding written memory address, thereby judging whether the bottom layer setting is correct.

The AT commands used by the protocols supported by the communication modules are 3GPP standard protocols and do not relate to unique commands of different manufacturers. The protocol mainly relates to the combination of modes such as inter-process communication (a message queue mode), FLASH data storage, AT configuration and the like. The configuration of multiple APNs can be conveniently carried out by users through graphical operation, and complicated and specialized configuration through serial port communication knowledge and AT knowledge is avoided. Meanwhile, the FLASH storage function is provided, and low-efficiency repeated configuration of a user is avoided.

Furthermore, in the process of starting the system, whether the drive of the module is loaded normally is judged firstly. And under the condition that the module is normally loaded, judging whether the AT channel is opened or not. In case all is ready, the sending APN initializes the relevant AT configuration.

The parameters of WEB page configuration comprise:

APN Number: i.e. the corresponding APN table, generally supports APN 1-4

An ENABLE: representing whether to open the current APN

Profile Name: name of APN

APN Name: the name of the network parameter carried by the APN during network access is generally the name of each operator

Authentication Type: APN authentication information

PDN Type: the type of APN supports ipv4/ipv6/ipv4v6

Default Gateway: setting a current APN as a default gateway

Authentication Type: and the default of the related configuration of APN authentication is None.

Meanwhile, the user can also set PAP/CHAP to represent two different authentication modes. The specific authentication information can be checked by capturing and analyzing the network packet, for example, the PAP password capture packet is plaintext, and the CHAP is encrypted.

The equipment provided by the invention supports multi-APN configuration, comprises three modes of an ipv4/ipv6/ipv4v6 and three authentication modes of None/CHAP/PAP, wherein each APN specifies an access operator name, and the equipment is convenient for products to be applied to various scenes.

Meanwhile, the AT command can be supported to acquire specific parameters of each APN, and configuration contents can be inherited into FLASH, so that the data can be conveniently restarted and subsequently carried.
