To send commands with PPPoE
You can use the command XBB:<AT String> to send AT commands over PPPoE.
Example: To start a Standard data connection with the Context identifier “1”, type
XBB:AT+CGDCONT=1,ip,bgan.inmarsat.com;+CGEQREQ=1,3
Note that there are two commands involved, +CGDCONT and +CGEQREQ.
+CGDCONT defines the context ID (1), the connection type (IP) and the APN
(bgan.inmarsat.com).
+CGEQREQ starts a data connection for the defined context ID (1) using traffic class Standard
data (3).
Note that because the traffic class is 3 (Standard data), the remaining parameters (max. and
guaranteed bit rates etc.) are omitted. See also Context management AT commands on
page 139.
No further configuration is needed to make a Standard IP data connection to the Internet.
See the table below for information on how to configure specific services for your PPPoE
connection.
If you need a certain service, for example a Streaming class (not available in M2M
subscription), you must type in a specified text string when asked for a service name. The
following table shows the service names supported by the terminal.

XBB:<AT String> This allows the PPPoE clients to enter a full AT context
activation string.
