title: Ai-Thinker A6 and A7

Ai-Thinker A6 and A7 (group)

Module: Supported Modules / Ai-Thinker / Ai-Thinker A6 and A7

Manufacturer: Ai-Thinker. Models: A6, A7.

Connection Information

• TCP sockets:
  • 8
  • SSL client not supported *
• Socket Buffering:
  • The modem does not have an internal buffer for incoming data.
  • You must set the buffer size in this library to be larger than your largest expected incoming packet, or you will lose incoming data.
• Socket Numbering:
  • The modem will automatically assign a channel number when the client connects to a server. Todo: todo
