-## Brief introduction on data call
-
-To be brief, the data call is a process that building connection with server and getting network access permission via call. As for terminal device, it is to configure APN.
-
-### About APN
-
-APN, a network access technology and a parameter should be configured when the terminal gets access to network, decides which method would be used to get access to network from the view of terminal.
-
-In terms of user, there are many peripheral networks can be accessed such as Internet, WAP website, internal network of group and specific network for internal industry. However, different access points are varied in access range and methods. So, in terms of network end, how to learn about which network will be accessed and corresponding IP will be allocated after the terminal is activated? It is the APN that used to differentiate. That is, APN determines which access mode a user terminal uses to access network.
-
-All operators will use specific APN (Access Point Name), which will be reserved in your SIM card beforehand. If necessary, you should adjust it manually.
-
-### Implication of APN
-
-The APN will decide which access mode that a terminal uses to access network so as to identify the service type of GPRS.
-
-Two categories of APN
-
-- *WAP* service
-- Service not included in *WAP*, such as connecting to Internet
-
-From the view of operator, APN just refers to one logic name. In most cases, the APN is arranged on GGSN device or connected to the GNSS in a logic way. When user gets access to network via GPRS, it will agent peripheral network via *GGSN*. Therefore, the parameters related to APN setting, filtering and calculating have become one of the most significant parameters to GPRS billing and expense. (As the APN can be used to differentiate the service or the external network)
-
-The overall illustrations of APN have been defined in the *TS23.003 Clause 9 of 3GPP* specification explicitly.
-
-### APN structure
-
-The name of APN access point is composed by two parts:
-
-- Network identifier
-
-- Operator identifier
-
- Similarly, the operator identifier is also composed by two parts:
-
-- Mobile network code（MNC）
-
-- Mobile country code（MCC）
-
-### APN type
-
-We can divide the APN into four types according to whether it is connected to public network or special network as well as the allocation method of IP address.
-
-- **Public APN**, abbreviated as APN also. The device which is connected to network gate via public APN will get IP address in dynamic in convenience of access to network by the most.
-- **Public APN with static IP address** - The network gate will allocate static IP address to device according to the available IP addresses in public network.
-- **Special APN**- It is commonly considered as "APN with VPN". The device with special APN configuration can get access to its inner network via network gate.
-- **The special APN with static IP address** - The network gate will allocate static IP address to device according to the available IP addresses in special network.
-
-Compared with public APN, there is even no need in network connection for special APN. Moreover, under no circumstance shall the special network allow itself to get access to public network but also keep itself in the basic structure of cellular network to make sure the safe data handling.
-
-### Configure APN
-
-For QuecPython, you can use the default APN in SIM card or configure APN manually. It is also available to configure APN by calling API function.

+All operators will use specific APN (Access Point Name), which will be reserved in your SIM card beforehand. If necessary, you should adjust it manually.
+
+### Implication of APN
+
+The APN will decide which access mode that a terminal uses to access network so as to identify the service type of GPRS.
+
+Two categories of APN
+
+- *WAP* service
+- Service not included in *WAP*, such as connecting to Internet
+
+From the view of operator, APN just refers to one logic name. In most cases, the APN is arranged on GGSN device or connected to the GNSS in a logic way. When user gets access to network via GPRS, it will agent peripheral network via *GGSN*. Therefore, the parameters related to APN setting, filtering and calculating have become one of the most significant parameters to GPRS billing and expense. (As the APN can be used to differentiate the service or the external network)
+
+The overall illustrations of APN have been defined in the *TS23.003 Clause 9 of 3GPP* specification explicitly.
+
+### APN structure
+
+The name of APN access point is composed by two parts:
+
+- Network identifier
+
+- Operator identifier
+
+ Similarly, the operator identifier is also composed by two parts:
+
+- Mobile network code（MNC）
+
+- Mobile country code（MCC）
+
+### APN type
+
+We can divide the APN into four types according to whether it is connected to public network or special network as well as the allocation method of IP address.
+
+- **Public APN**, abbreviated as APN also. The device which is connected to network gate via public APN will get IP address in dynamic in convenience of access to network by the most.
+- **Public APN with static IP address** - The network gate will allocate static IP address to device according to the available IP addresses in public network.
+- **Special APN**- It is commonly considered as "APN with VPN". The device with special APN configuration can get access to its inner network via network gate.
+- **The special APN with static IP address** - The network gate will allocate static IP address to device according to the available IP addresses in special network.
+
+Compared with public APN, there is even no need in network connection for special APN. Moreover, under no circumstance shall the special network allow itself to get access to public network but also keep itself in the basic structure of cellular network to make sure the safe data handling.
+
+### Configure APN
+
+For QuecPython, you can use the default APN in SIM card or configure APN manually. It is also available to configure APN by calling API function.
