During the dialling into the GPRS network the calling terminal
specifies via the APN with which network it wishes to be
connected:
• the Internet,
• a private company network connected via a dedicated line, or
• a GPRS routing service.
The designation for the Windows programming interface and its
functions which the dial-up networking makes available to the
application programs. RAS enables application programs which
expect a network, e.g. a TCP/IP network, to establish a connection
via the TAPI and a modem. The application does not notice at all
that the data are not forwarded via a network board but via the
telephone network using a modem or another transmission device.
In the Windows dial-up networking so-called connections are
created. The connection data for each of these connections is
stored, for example a definition is made as to which modem is used
to establish the connection and which network protocol is available
to the application following establishment of the connection.
