Some providers require using an APN to establish a GPRS connection. So if user uses the 
Microsoft Windows Dial-Up Network and ATD*9… to connect to GPRS, user must provide the 
context definition as part of the modem definition (Modem 
properties/Connection/Advanced…/Extra settings.) As an alternative, user can define and activate 
the context in a terminal program (e.g. Microsoft HyperTerminal) and then use the Dial-Up 
Network to send only the ATD Command.
