Data card starting method and data card

Abstract

The invention relates to a data card starting method and a data card. The method comprises the following steps of: after the data card is powered on, detecting a starting state; when the starting state is a network adapter starting mode, finishing a data card starting flow by using an attention (AT) command generated in the data card; establishing connection with a terminal; and establishing the connection with a network by dialing on the terminal. The network adapter starting mode and a universal serial bus (USB) flash disk starting mode are set for the data card; in the USB flash disk starting mode, only a corresponding module of a USB flash disk is started; and in the network adapter starting mode, the data card can be used for surfing the Internet by AT command interaction in the data card without installing graphical user interface (GUI) software, and a plurality of operating systems are compatible; and when the data card is started in the network adapter starting mode, an Ethernet card is directly enumerated without a switching process from a compact disc read-only memory (CDROM) to a Modem to increase the starting speed of the data card. The simultaneous occurrence of the Ethernet card and the USB flash disk is avoided to ensure that the finite bandwidths of a USB are totally used for data services, thereby effectively increasing the speed of surfing the Internet.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method for starting a data card without GUI (Graphical User Interface, Graphical User Interface) software and the data card. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of 3G (3rd-generation, third generation) mobile communication network technology, more and more users choose to use wireless data cards to access the Internet. The emergence of data cards allows people to enjoy the joy of life brought by broadband data services anytime and anywhere without being restricted by space and region. [0003] In view of the good market prospects of data cards, various operators have launched their own data card products, and these products often have the following characteristics: [0004] 1. Self-starting function: a CDROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory, CD-ROM) will appear for the user to install the driver and corresponding software when it is insert...

Problems solved by technology

[0010] 2. It is necessary to use dedicated GUI software to complete the booting and Internet access functions of the data card, and data card manufacturers often only provide GUI software under the windows platform, so it is difficult for users to use the data card normally on a terminal with a non-windows system, such as for Some emerging mobile terminal devices, such as Apple's IPAD, or Android (Andriod) system devices are often difficult to be compatible with

[0011] 3. In the modem interface mode, IP (Internet Protocol, the protocol for interconnection between networks) data is carried by PPP (Point to Point Protocol, point-to-point protocol) packets, which is very inefficient

[0012] 4. The function speed of the U disk integrated in the data card is not comparable to that of a commercial U disk. In addition, the use of the U disk will also affect the speed of the Internet
