iRouter Mode
AT+i Programmer‘s Manual Version 8.32 19-3
Note: When using an FTP client to connect to an external FTP server through the
iRouter, you must use the FTP client in passive mode. For example, if the FTP client is
an iChip, you must open the FTP session using AT+i@FTP.
19.4 Terminating iRouter Mode
iRouter mode is terminated by any of the following occurrences:
By issuing the AT+iSTPR (Stop Routing) command. When iChip receives this
command, routing services are stopped and iChip goes offline on the dialup/cellular
side. If ARS=1 (Auto Routing), iChip automatically goes online and restores routing
services when the next packet arrives.
Automatically after an idle time period (with no routing activity) has passed. The idle
time period is defined in the IATO (Inactivity Timeout) parameter. Idle time
terminates routing only if IATO has a positive value larger than 0. When IATO=0,
idle time termination is effectively disabled. If ARS=1 (Auto Routing), iChip
automatically goes online and restores routing services when the next packet arrives.
By issuing the (+++) ESC string. iChip terminates iRouter mode and goes offline on
the dialup/cellular side. Following an ESC sequence termination, iChip does not
restore routing services even if ARS=1. To restore routing, either issue the
AT+iSTRR command or, alternatively, if ARS=1 issue AT+iDOWN.
19.5 Configuring iChip when in iRouter Mode
While in iRouter mode, iChip can be configured using the same methods for iChip in
general:
Assuming iChip‘s website is enabled on the LAN/WiFi end, iChip‘s internal
configuration website can be accessed by any browser that is connected to the same
LAN/WiFi network.
Assuming iChip‘s website is enabled on the dialup/cellular side, iChip‘s internal
configuration website can be accessed by any remote browser connecting to iChip‘s
port 80 over its public IP address.
