Hello Ravi, I have given the following command AT+CIPSTART="TCP","59.93.32.26","747" OK CONNECT OK.. But at the SocletTest nothing is showing. (It is expected to show a message that new client is connected right?). Can you please help me figure it out?
Hi Ravi. I have a question. I have a GPRS connected to a Raspberry PI3 that is sending SMS. My PI3 is connected to my house Wifi. I want to connect it to the SIM's 4G internet. There are many tutorials on how to connect it to a PPPoe from the GPRS. I want to know if there is going to be a conflict between sending SMS and connecting to 4G because they use the same Serial port ttyAMA0. Or the solution would be to connect the 2nd GRPS port to an USB port in PI3 so that SMS goes through AMA0 and 4G goes throug USB?
Thanks max. Glad it helped. Not sure about the exact difference. SIMCOM suggests AT+CSTT while dealing with TCP connections and AT+SAPBR while using HTTP and FTP connections as seen in their application notes. They have this option for running as a client or server in TCP mode but client only in HTTP mode and there is a MUX selection option where in you can have multiple connections to different servers at a time. So may be CSTT enables us to have multiple connections using TCP/UDP but SAPBR kind of restricts us with single HTTP/FTP connection mode. Am just guessing and i have a dropped a mail to SIMCOM support person and if they reply i will definitely let you know :)
Ok, I see. Thank you, your supposition make sense and I will appreciate your feedback if SIMCOM will response you. I try to do some TCP connection with SIM800 at my office but it didn't work. Maybe because, behind my wifi router, there are other switches, devices and security services which bloc external connections.
I have downloaded and run TMFT but my modem keeps writing to terminal window about the latest data fetched. and i cannot write to the tmft terminal. what should i do
I followed this video and was able to get to the AT+CIPSEND.On the server side it shows that the sim900 is connected. when I try to send my data to my server i get the message SEND OK and the server does not receive the data. the client then CLOSES. any help would be great on how to fix this.
+Fahimul Islam it means that the connection is closed on the server. Or you might be connecting to a ip which is not unique or which is shared between many computers like a LAN
Hello Ravi, I found your tutorial really useful and I wanted to congrat with you! I was just wondering, is a pause needed after AT+CIPSEND command? I'm implementing it via software and seems that without a pause the command doesn't send nothing... Are you aware of that? Forgot to say that I disabled the prompt using AT+CIPSPRT=2
Yes, pause is needed for each command to be processed by GSM module. Provide sufficient delay or use wait for response code to wait for module to get ready to accept next command. Don't forget to share and subscribe :)
Hi, really useful video. Thanks. But when I search my IP address it shows IPv6 address (looks like : 2700:4903:22df:b3f7:bcf4:5068:19b6:48e9). I am using SIM800 device to connect. Can you suggest how I can use the CIPSTART command in this case.
hi happy thank you for your tutorial, I followed the same procedure that, but when I send AT + CIPSTART = "TCP", "", "747" the SIM900 return me ERROR, if you have an answer, do not hesitate
I am Working on GPRS Wireess Communication from One station to Another Station. I want to send some bunch of data from Client GPRS Module and Recieve it on other side connected Server. In Your Tutorial You made your PC as a Server No, my Doubt is that may i Make Some Micro Controller based Server which can ehave as My Server instead of PC.
Thanks for your video! I am going to send the data of my sensor to a server every two milliseconds (ms) via sim800. Is it possible to do this with such speed (sampling rate)? I do appreciate any help.
No, it will not be ideal as 2g speed is limited. If you keep connection open always on TCP then you can send about every 5 seconds for consistent results. Otherwise data will be lost. Don't forget to like share and subscribe :)
I havent tried it but you need to use the same procedure but use base64 encoding for sending data as it is binary. And have your receiving side decode it back to binary. Also there is option for sending binary data using multipart file upload protocol. You should find it in HTTP protocol documentation for sending correct content type parameters for binary data.
Brother every thing is working , in my case but there is a problem with socket as (ip closed by me) AT+CIPSTART="TCP","**********","21" . .AT+CIPSTART="TCP","***********","21" . . .OK . .CONNECT OK .220 MikroTik FTP server (MikroTik 6.28) ready so it is connected via some different one i think but socket is also not showing any connected client. plz help me brother.
Sir, i am working on sim808 module and trying to connect it with server with the steps you explained in this tutorial. when i give this command >>at+ cipstart="TCP","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ", "747" i am getting the error STATE: IP STATUS CONNECT FAIL kindly guide me through this it is very important to me. thanks.
Can we use TCP for accessing any web pages or http links?If Yes,Can u please tell me? Your socket software shows IP as 0.0.0.0 but you used your PC IP which is different.Why?
0.0.0.0 means that value is not used. Server ignores that value and opens a socket on given port number for listening. Leaving it 0.0.0.0 means you are opening a server at 127.0.0.1:747 if that is the port number you selected. For accessing from outside world you need Public IP.
Hi, I have SIM900a module and I am unable to connect to server like you do, my module wait for long time and then reply with error STATE: TCP CLOSED CONNECT FAIL. can you help me to connect my module to internet.
There could be multiple reasons for that. First make sure you are connected to internet by checking the IP address and then also check if your server is not behind any firewall. And also you can use SocketTest as a client to test your server operation.
yes im having the same problem and something is wrong with my public ip address (which i got from google) . 103.195.141.4 . without sim900 , i can't even connect socket test's client tab with server Tab with that ip. but google says that my ip . how to find that im behind any firewall or anything ...?? please please
You can do port scan by an online tool here www.ipfingerprints.com/portscan.php And check if that particular port is open on given IP. If you are behind firewall the tool will not show that port as open. Its just a guess. You can give it a try.
that tool sounds like not open at all but i did opened my port on socket test. after fiber_optic_cable there's a media converter and a router in my house > then my pc .. As im affected with their firewall , would you please teach mme how to usce TCP/IP in this situation ??? with pleasure
I have no idea how to get past through that. Many of the routers come with port forwarding where you can forward packets coming to your router to a particular port to a particular IP address on LAN when multiple systems are sharing the same public IP address. Check you router administrator panel. There might be a option for port forwarding.
+Ghugan cena (cenation619) Hi, Thank you , It means that the socket is not open on the server side. Some servers have a time out , so when a socket is opened it automatically closes after few seconds if no any data is sent.
Hi Ravi, great video, thanks to share this knoledge. I need to connect to a remote microcontroler using SIM900, exchanging not too much data (100 bytes per hour) in order to check the machine status. In base to your experience wich is the best way to do it? Is this GPRS TCP/IP Method? How you solve the non fixed public IP in the Server Machine?Thanks again for your help... Gustavo
Hi Gustavo Auyero, Thank you for the appreciation. You can use TCP/UDP/HTTP for retrieving data. You cannot connect without a static IP Because it keeps changing. Best way to do it is, Make the remote machine to update data to a intermediate server, Use free IOT servers available like Carriots and then get data from there whenever needed. If you can explain me the exact setup like which kind of machine or system is being used, and are you reading from a microcontroller through SIM900 to a PC, and what are the constraints. I can suggest better. Drop me a mail at ravi@valetron.com

Hi Ravi, The video is very simple and easy to understand. I am using a SIM808 module, which has the same AT Commands as SIM900. I tried establishing a TCP connection according to the steps in the video, but after the CIPSTART command i always receive TCP CLOSED response. I tried many times, even by changing the simcards but the issue is the same. When I try to establish a TCP connection to the www.google.com, i get a response as CONNECT OK. Can you help in this?
Hi Ravi, thanks it's very useful. but i have a problem... after this command: AT+CIPSTART="TCP","IP","port" i got: OK STATE: TCP CLOSED CONNECT FAIL what's the problem?
If you are connecting Arduino to SIM900 then you need to translate the voltage levels to 2.8V on SIM900 side using voltage level translator like TXS0102.
Hi Ravi your videos are very simple one and give complete information. I have one request do you have any AT command list for a RS232 to Wifi adaptor. Lets say the one like from Usconverters the model is WF5000. I would really appreciate if you can find this information. Thanks Ravi
Hi Ravi, Thank You for your tutorial. Everythings it's working (at SIM900). I am sending massage to my IP(SEND OK). But I have one problem. I want 'listen' massage from my module but I don't see nothing. I try to use wireshark or your programs. Can you help me with it ? Sorry for my english.
Hi Lukasz, You can send message to IP and receive back when the connection is still established by the client/module. You cannot initiate the connection from PC/server. If you are trying to make SIM900 as server, its little problematic. Watch my video on using SIM900 as TCP server.
Hello , it was quite a useful video....But did any one faced AT+CIPSTART error , The command doesnt connect my sim 800 module to the server , Using socket test for connecting, but stuck......plz help
Hi, If your CIICR command ran succesfully and got an IP address on CIFSR then you should not have this problem. Check these two commands again. Make sure to have balance on SIM card or a data pack.

+Shashank Mishra Hi , Before trying with SIM module first try to connect with socket test to your server, if it is able to connect then you can try connecting with the module.
Hi Ravi!Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge so clear.I am working in a simple telemetry Project that consist in sending data from Arduino to internet over GPRS with SIM800L. I want to send values of analog and digital variables (sensors) attached to Arduino and put these values in a table or database in a website. Also I would need to send some instruction from the website to Arduino in order to control some digital output.Could you tell me which is the simplest method to achive this? TCP/IP Over GPRS like seen in this video or another method? Please give me some hints. Greetings from Argentina!
Hi Deigo, Greetings from India :) Thank you for the appreciation. Glad you liked it. I suggest HTTP because you can easily send data to URL or end points using GET and POST requests. Look at my HTTP tutorials on SIM900 and GL865. I show how you can collect data using a PHP website in GL865 tutorial. There you can write simple code to save that to database. Alternatively you can use ready servers like Dreamfactory which provide ready to use endpoints for collecting and processing data. Just send your data in requests and it will be automatically saved in table you want. If you want asynchronous instructions to be received then you have to maintain a TCP connection open always, like in MQTT (Check out my tutorial on MQTT using SIM800) you can easily subscribe to a topic which can send instructions anytime. On HTTP you have to send data and wait for response for sent data, In this response you can pass your instruction or command to device. But you need to send data regularly or poll regularly to get instructions in time. And, Dont forget to Subscribe and share :)

I am connected throw wifi, and when I am trying to start listening TCP server on test socket, It is listening to my local IP address of 10.50.15.86. I am unable to connect throw Public IP address 111.93.149.186. in the server there is an option of providing IP address there is if I trying 10.50.15.86 then it is working or if it is 0.0.0.0 (in this case also in able to connect throw 10.50.15.86 not with 111.93.149.186). can you please suggest me something ? or can you share your ipconfig cmd result Thanks
I dont think it will work through WiFi as it will be a shared IP. Unless you have a static IP or have port forwarding kind of feature on your router it wont work. .
So this happened because i was connecting to the network at my place of work and there were firewall settings that were blocking it. You need to turn the firewall off of the server running SocketTest

Hi Ravi!Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge so clear.I am working in a simple telemetry Project that consist in sending data from Arduino to internet over GPRS with SIM800L. I want to send values of analog and digital variables (sensors) attached to Arduino and put these values in a table or database in a website. Also I would need to send some instruction from the website to Arduino in order to control some digital output.Could you tell me which is the simplest method to achive this? TCP/IP Over GPRS like seen in this video or another method? Please give me some hints. Greetings from Argentina!
Hi Deigo,
Greetings from India :)
Thank you for the appreciation. Glad you liked it.
I suggest HTTP because you can easily send data to URL or end points using GET and POST requests. Look at my HTTP tutorials on SIM900 and GL865. I show how you can collect data using a PHP website in GL865 tutorial. There you can write simple code to save that to database.
Alternatively you can use ready servers like Dreamfactory which provide ready to use endpoints for collecting and processing data. Just send your data in requests and it will be automatically saved in table you want.
If you want asynchronous instructions to be received then you have to maintain a TCP connection open always, like in MQTT (Check out my tutorial on MQTT using SIM800) you can easily subscribe to a topic which can send instructions anytime. On HTTP you have to send data and wait for response for sent data, In this response you can pass your instruction or command to device. But you need to send data regularly or poll regularly to get instructions in time.

when i put the last command it shows "STATE: TCP CLOSED CONNECT FAILED". Can you tell me whats wrong???IP Address is alloted to my sim already
+Indrajeet Javeri May be your socket timed out. Depends on which server you are using. SocketTest server doesnt time out.
+Ravi Pujar I used your HTTP tutorial to get HTTP Request from a webpage.I got that correctly.But this TCP Connect fails.Anyways since i only needed HTTP Requests that problem is solved.Thanks
I am connected throw wifi, and when I am trying to start listening TCP server on test socket, It is listening to my local IP address of 10.50.15.86. I am unable to connect throw Public IP address 111.93.149.186. in the server there is an option of providing IP address there is if I trying 10.50.15.86 then it is working or if it is 0.0.0.0 (in this case also in able to connect throw 10.50.15.86 not with 111.93.149.186). can you please suggest me something ?
or can you share your ipconfig cmd result Thanks
I dont think it will work through WiFi as it will be a shared IP. Unless you have a static IP or have port forwarding kind of feature on your router it wont work. .
please sir give me a udp test like this. i am unable to do that .
Yes Rakesh, I will try.
When i connect, I get Connect OK. Then after some seconds i get, "CLOSED". I never see the connection take place on the server either
So this happened because i was connecting to the network at my place of work and there were firewall settings that were blocking it. You need to turn the firewall off of the server running SocketTest
outstanding video.
it`s very important to me.

Hi, when i use AT+CIPSTART... my module shuting down! can help me to find what happend? (vbat=3.84-3.89v 2A with ts2976, net lines 80mil exacly same as sim800's datasheet's (v1.2) power supply chematic)
Sockettest software shows incorrect client id.
I guess it's internal ID generated by itself, don't depend on it. Don't forget to share and subscribe :)

Hi sir I am using SIM808 modem everything works fine but when i give

Make sure you are connected to network and IP address is correctly allocated before trying that command.
yes IP is allocated to network can i get your email address so that i can mail you snapshots of it

thank you sir but issue is solved just now the problem is withe google.com I tried some ip from m2m support and worked
Tysm for your quick replies
my TCP connection close automatically after 60 seconds of connection.can anyone please reply how to stop it closing automatically?
Most of the time its the server that closes it due to preset timeout on inactivity. GSM modules themselves dont close it unless there is a network problem.

Hola Ravi, buenas tardes. Cuando ejecutó el comando CIPSTART el sim 900 envía error de Conexión porque el servidor remoto corto la conexión. Podrías indicarme que modificaciones realizaste al Windows.Correo: ramongomez_ce@hotmail.com Saludos
