GETTING STARTED USING THE SMC TEST BOARD

This section describes the use of the SMC test board to set up the SMC modem for internet access using HyperTerminal and a dial-up network connection (DUN). Please refer to Appendix B for details on setting up a modem driver for a DUN connection.

Connecting Up the SMC Test Board

Connect the Power cable, RS232 cable, Antenna cable to the SMC test board as shown in Figure 5.1. Insert an active SIM card into the SMC modem.

Figure 5.1 SMC test board connections

HyperTerminal Settings
Open a HyperTerminal session and configure the properties for the COM port used to connect the SMC test board. Set HyperTerminal properties for: Bits per second: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: Hardware

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 14 of 73

Verify SMC Modem Connectivity

Power on the SMC test board (+12VDC typical) and observe the HyperTerminal window for ^SYSSTART, indicating the SMC modem successfully powered on.

Figure 5.2 HyperTerminal screen responses The ATI command prints the cell module product information. If you get an Error or no communication, verify the modem is connected to the proper COM port and powered on. Refer to Figure 5.2 for all the AT commands listed below. Confirm your SIM card is properly installed with the AT^SCID command. A reply of ^SCID:<20 digit CID number> indicates the modem recognizes the SIM card and displays its ID number. Confirm the phone number currently in the modem with the AT+CNUM command. It should be 11 digits i.e. 18052162288. For some carriers the phone number may not display but will respond with OK. If the SIM card is not in the unit or not activated properly, the modem will reply with ERROR. Verify the modems International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number with the AT+CGSN command. The IMEI is used to identify GSM mobile equipment to the GSM network.

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 15 of 73

Confirm that the SIMs PIN has been authenticated by the network using the AT+CPIN? command. The reply should read +CPIN: READY. See Section 6 for SIM related information if READY does not display. Verify good signal strength with the AT+CSQ command. A typical reply is +CSQ 25, 99. The first number is signal strength and ranges from 0 to 31 (the higher the number, the stronger the signal).

Define the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) Context

Next, the Access Point Name (APN) must be defined using the PDP Context command AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,<apn> command. The <apn> is the access point name for a specific cellular provider (for example AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,internet). The At+CGDCONT? command can be issued to verify the PDP Context information. The PDP context information can be set to non-volatile by issuing the AT^SCFG=GPRS/Persistentcontexts=1 command. GPRS PDP context will not be reset by an AT&F command. Refer to Figure 5.3.

Figure 5.3 Set PDP Contexts, APN Exit HyperTerminal before attempting to connect using a Dial-Up-Networking connection.

Connect using the Dial-Up-Network Connection

Go to the Network Connections screen and double click on the newly created Dial-Up connection (i.e. SMC-GPRS).

When the connect window appears, set the username and password as defined for your carrier (usually blank). Enter the phone number as *99***1# and click the Dial button.

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 17 of 73

The modem will attempt to connect to the provider network. If the configured baud rate for the COM port, the modem, and the DUN do not match, the DUN will not be able to talk to the modem properly and you will get a hardware error message. Otherwise the DUN will contact the cellular network and authenticate the user on the network.

Once connected you should be able to browse the internet thorough the DUN session. To confirm this, disable any other network connections you may have running.

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 18 of 73

Right click on the connected Dial-Up connection icon in the task bar and select the Details tab. The status of the connection will be displayed, including the IP address assigned by the carrier network.

SECTION 6 -

SIM CARD SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The SIM card can be used to store a Personal Idetification Number (PIN) to authenticate users on the network. The AT+CPIN write command can be used to enter one of the passwords listed below. The read command can be used to check whether or not the ME is waiting for a password, or which type of password is required. This may be for example the SIM PIN1 to register to the GSM network, or the SIM PUK1 to replace a disabled SIM PIN1 with a new one, or the PH-SIM PIN if the client has taken precautions for preventing damage in the event of loss or theft etc. If requested by the ME AT+CPIN may also be used for the SIM PIN2 or SIM PUK2. If no PIN1 request is pending (for example if PIN1 authentication has been done and the same PIN1 is entered again) SMC modem responds "+CME ERROR: operation not allowed"; no further action is required. Each time a password is entered with AT+CPIN the module starts reading data from the SIM. The duration of reading varies with the SIM card. This may cause a delay of several seconds before all commands which need access to SIM data are effective. AT+CPIN=<pin>[, <new pin>] <pin>: Password (string type), usually SIM PIN1. If the requested password was a Pin Unlock Code (PUK), such as SIM PUK1 or PH-FSIM PUK or another password, then <pin> must be followed by <new pin>. <new pin>: If the requested code was a PUK: specify a new password or restore the former disabled password. See section What to do if PIN or password authentication fails? for more information about when you may need to enter the PUK. Successful PIN authentication only confirms that the entered PIN was recognized and correct. The output of the result code OK does not necessarily imply that the mobile is registered to the desired network. Typical example: PIN was entered and accepted with OK, but the ME fails to register to the network. This may be due to missing network coverage, denied network access with currently used SIM card, no valid roaming agreement between home network and currently available operators etc. The SMC modem offers various options to verify the present status of network registration: For example, the AT+COPS command indicates the currently used network. With AT+CREG you can also check the current status and activate an unsolicited result code which appears whenever the status of the network registration changes (e.g. when the ME is powered up, or when the network cell changes). The <pin> and <new pin> can also be entered in quotation marks (e.g. "1234"). To check the number of remaining attempts to enter the passwords use the AT^SPIC command. See AT+CPWD and AT^SPWD for information on passwords. See AT+CLCK and AT^SLCK for information on lock types.

What to do if PIN or password authentication fails?

PIN1 / PUK1: After three failures to enter PIN 1, the SIM card is blocked (except for emergency calls). +CME ERROR: 12 will prompt the client to unblock the SIM card by entering the associated PUK (= PIN Unblocking Key / Personal Unblocking Key). After ten failed attempts to enter the PUK, the SIM card will be invalidated and no longer operable (the device will respond with: +CME ERROR: 770, which stands for: SIM invalid - network reject). In such a case, the card needs to be replaced. PIN1 consists of 4 to 8 digits, PUK1 is an 8-digit code only. To unblock a disabled PIN1 you have two options: You can enter AT+CPIN=PUK1,new PIN1. You can use the ATD command followed by the GSM code **05*PUK*newPIN*newPIN#;. PIN2 / PUK2: PIN2 prevents unauthorized access to the features listed in AT+CPIN2. The handling of PIN2 varies with the provider. PIN2 may either be a specific code supplied along with an associated PUK2, or a default code such as 0000. In either case, the client is advised to replace it with an individual code. Incorrect input of PUK2 will permanently block the additional features subject to PIN2 authentification, but usually has no effect on PIN1. PIN2 consists of 4 digits, PUK2 is an 8-digit code only. To unblock a disabled PIN2 you have two options: You can enter AT+CPIN2=PUK2,new PIN2. You can use the ATD command followed by the GSM code **052*PUK2*newPIN2*newPIN2#;. Phone lock: If the mobile was locked to a specific SIM card (= "PS" lock or phone lock), the PUK that came with the SIM card cannot be used to remove the lock. After three failed attempts to enter the correct password, ME returns +CPIN: PH-SIM PUK (= response to read command AT+CPIN?), i.e. it is now waiting for the Master Phone Code. This is an 8-digit device code associated to the IMEI number of the mobile which can only by obtained from the manufacturer or provider. When needed, contact Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH and request the Master Phone Code of the specific module. There are two ways to enter the Master Phone code: You can enter AT+CPIN=Master Phone Code You can use the ATD command followed by the GSM code *#0003*Master Phone Code#;. Usually, the Master Phone Code will be supplied by mail or e-mail. If the received number is enclosed in the *# codes typically used for the ATD option, it is important to crop the preceding *#0003* characters and the appended #. Example: You may be given the string *#0003*12345678#. When prompted for the PH-SIM PUK simply enter 12345678. If incorrectly input, the Master Phone Code is governed by a specific timing algorithm: (n-1)*256 seconds (see table below). The timing should be considered by system integrators when designing an individual MMI. Number of failed attempts 1st failed attempt 2nd failed attempt 3rd failed attempt 4th failed attempt 5th failed attempt 6th failed attempt and so forth Time to wait before next input is allowed No time to wait 4 seconds 3 * 256 seconds 4 * 256 seconds 5 * 256 seconds 6 * 256 seconds and so forth

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 21 of 73

SIM locks: These are factory set locks, such as "PF", "PN", "PU", "PP", "PC". An 8-digit unlocking code is required to operate the mobile with a different SIM card, or to lift the lock. The code can only be obtained from the provider. Failure to enter the password is subject to the same timing algorithm as the Master Phone Code (see Table above). Call barring: Supported modes are "AO", "OI", "OX", "AI", "IR", "AB", "AG", "AC". If the call barring password is entered incorrectly three times, the client will need to contact the service provider to obtain a new one.

SECTION 7 -

CALL SETUP INFORMATION

This section provides a brief look at setting up variuos call scienerios using the SMC-GPRS modem with the SMC Development/Test board and HyperTerminal. In general, each call scienerio requires a set of initialization commands to set up the SMC modem for the specific call type. See related documents [1] and [2] for more detailed descriptions and examples for all call types. Types of calls: Circuit Switched Data (CSD) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Short Message Service (SMS) Internet Services Socket Client & Server for TCP, Client for UDP FTP Client HTTP Client SMTP Client POP3 Client

Circuit Switched Data (CSD)

Before proceeding, be sure the cellular provider account can support CSD calls. Before making a CSD call be sure that flow control is enabled using the AT\Q3 command. All other initialization settings listed below are optional. AT+CSNS=4 enables calls received without bearer capability element to be accepted as data calls. ATX determines whether the ME detects the presence of dial tone and busy signal. If ATX>0 the CONNECT result code will include the transmission speed. The ATS0 command specifies the number of rings before the ME automatically answers incoming data calls. ATS0=3 sets the SMC modem to answer on the third ring. The ATS7 command specifies the number of seconds the ME will wait for the completion of call setup when answering or originating a call. The ATS10 command sets the time (tenths of seconds) the ME remains connected after having indicated the absence of the data carrier. ATS10=10 would set a 1 second time period. ATS18 enables extended call release reports indicated every time a fax or data call is released or fails to be established. This is useful especially for MT single numbering scheme calls or calls received from analog devices. An odd number enables the presentation of the extended call release report. Any even number disables this feature. Use AT+CRC to enable or disable the extended format of result codes for incoming call indication. In the case of CSD calls AT+CRC=1 can be used to replace the factory default result code RING with the extended format +CRING REL ASYNC or +CRING FAX. Use AT+CR to enable or disable an intermediate result code to report information about the connection when a call is being answered. In a data connection this is the result code "+CR: REL ASYNC" which is presented before the CONNECT result code.
001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 23 of 73

Select ATV0 to set the short format (numeric code) or ATV1 to set the long format (verbose code) of result codes. In case of using the command without parameter the value will be set to 0. Generally, only AT+CBST=0 (auto bauding) and AT+CBST = 7 (9600 bps, [V.110]) are supported and provide reliable performance. All other settings can be tried, but depending on the network problems may be encountered. Once a data connection is established, the ME first enters the data mode (online mode). With the escape sequence +++ you can switch from data to command mode without dropping the line. The command ATO returns from command to data mode. The escape sequence must be preceded and followed by a pause of at least 1000 ms. The +++ characters must be entered in quick succession, all within 1000 ms. To end a call, the caller or the called party may use the commands ATH or AT+CHUP. The response to ATH and AT+CHUP is OK while the remote party is given NO CARRIER. CSD Incoming Calls Depending on the basic initialization, an incoming CSD call is indicated either by the URC RING (if AT+CRC=0) or the extended URC format +CRING: REL ASYNC (if AT+CRC=1). An incoming data call can be accepted by entering the command ATA or by using the autoanswer mode if enabled with ATS0000. Depending on the module's basic initialization, connection setup is indicated by the result code "CONNECT" (if ATX0) or "CONNECT <text>" (if ATX>0), where <text> gives the transmission speed, for example "CONNECT 9600/RLP". In addiditon, the CONNECT result code may be preceded by the intermediate result code +CR: REL ASYNC if the ME is initialized with AT+CR=1. CSD Outgoing Calls The commands used to dial out are ATD, ATDI and ATDL. Do not attach a semicolon ; at the end of the dial string. Dialing from the phonebooks is not supported for data connections. When dialing a data call number, the following responses can be returned: CONNECT (if ATX0) or CONNECT <text> (if ATX>0) NO CARRIER BUSY NO DIALTONE The response is given when the connection has been set up successfully ("CONNECT"), or when it fails ("NO CARRIER", "BUSY", "NO DIALTONE"). If the module is initialized with AT+CR=1, the additional intermediate result +CR: REL ASYNC appears before the CONNECT result code. When the TA-TE link is reserved (data mode), any URCs, for example an incoming SMS, will be indicated by a BREAK only. The URC itself will be transmitted as soon as the TA-TE link is free again. This means, the URC will be output either when the user switches from data to command mode with +++, or when the line is dropped.

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 24 of 73

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

Before proceeding, be sure the cellular account SIM is provisioned with GPRS data services and all necessary initialization commands have been executed. The module must then be attached to the GPRS service, allowing the device to be accessable by the network, but no data transmission is yet possible. Before activating the PDP context, network provider specific context parameters have to be defined. Afterwards the context can be activated and the module can enter the GPRS data mode. At this point data can be exchanged between module and network. Listed below are initial settings suggested for using GPRS. AT+CGREG? queries the status of GPRS network registration. AT+CREG=1 will enable network activation. AT+CGSMS specifies the service or service preferences the MT shall use when sending MO SMS messages. AT+CGSMS=0 will select GPRS service. AT^SGAUTH sets the authentication type for the PPP connection. The default value is 3 (PAP and CHAP). To configure the LLC-PDU-length and the GPRS multislot class use AT^SGCONF The AT^SCFG command is used for the following GPRS related settings. Note that AT^SCFG settings illustrated in the examples are valid only if GSM character set is active. GPRS/ATS0/withAttach (on/off) Specifies whether or not ME will automatically attempt to perform a GPRS attach after receiving the command ATS0=<n> with parameter n>0. GPRS/RingOnIncomingData (on/off) Specifies if RING line shall be activated when ME receives GPRS IP packets during CYCLIC SLEEP mode AT+CFUN=7 or 8. This solution ensures that incoming GPRS IP packets will prompt the application to wake up from power saving. URC/Ringline/ActiveTime (0/1/2): Specifies duration of RING activation to indicate URCs or incoming GPRS IP packets. GPRS Attach/Detach The AT+CGATT command enables the ME to attach (=1) or to detach (=0) from the GPRS service. If the ME is already in the requested state, the command is ignored and OK response is returned. Any active PDP Contexts will automatically be deactivated, if the ME detaches from the GPRS service. If the ME is not able to attach for more than 5 minutes or to detach for more than 1 minute, the command returns ERROR or +CME ERROR: unknown, but the ME is still trying to attach/ detach.

Define the GPRS Context Exact settings of GPRS context and Quality of Service Profiles are provisioned by the network provider and must be requested before defining the GPRS context. Every PDP context has a context identifier <cid>. The context identifiers are numbered sequentially and have to start with value 1. AT+CGDCONT is used to define a context ID and specify the PDP type and Access Point Name (APN). The PDP type describes the protocol to be used between the ME and the network. The APN specifies the gateway between mobile network and the internet. GPRS PDP Context activation/ deactivation The AT+CGACT=<state>,<cid> command activates (state=1) and deactivates (state=0) a specified PDP Context. If a PDP Context is already in the requested state, the state of this context remains unchanged. If the ME is not yet attached to the GPRS service, the attach will be done before the context activation is executed. If no <cid> is specified (e.g. AT+CGACT=1 or AT+CGACT=0), all defined contexts become activated/deactivated. In many networks AT+CGACT=1 does not work any longer. Many networks require user name and password for context activation. However these parameters are only handed to module during the PPP traffic and not by AT command. Since the PPP traffic only starts when entering the data mode, it is necessary to enter data mode before the actual PDP context activation request is sent to the network. Use ATD*99***<cid># to do so. The command AT+CGPADDR=<cid> shows the PDP address, which was assigned to the module during the activation process. The address may be static or dynamic. GPRS Data Mode Use the ATD*99***<cid># command to go into GPRS data mode. The PDP context (parameter <cid>) must be defined before via AT+CGDCONT. If ATD*99***<cid># is entered without specifying a parameter, default parameters will be used. When entering the GPRS data mode, PPP traffic between the module and the application is transferred. Therefore the application must be capable of handling PPP protocol. Entering +++ will switch from data mode or PPP online mode to command mode Entering ATO or AT+CGDATA will switch from command mode to data mode

Short Message Service (SMS)

SMS is a service to transfer short messages between a GSM Mobile Stations (MS) and an ShortMessage-Entity (SME) via a Service Center (SC). SMC modems support two modes: text mode and Protocal Data Unit (PDU) mode. The minimal requirements to send a short message are: - Service center address of the provider - Destination address - Content of the message To write or send short messages in text mode the SMC modem must be configured to use text mode, and the service center address must be set. Writing or sending a short message in PDU mode requires all attributes of the short message to be coded in PDU format. Initializing SMS SMC modems support two character sets: the GSM default alphabet defined in GSM 03.38 (7 bit) and the UCS2 character set defined in ISO/IEC10646. To choose one of them use the command AT+CSCS=<chset>, where chset is GSM or UCS2. AT+CMGF sets the SMS message format. Choose AT+CMGF=1 for text mode, or AT+CMGF=0 for PDU mode. AT+CSDH enables the presentation of text mode parameters in the result codes of SMS reading and listing commands. AT+CSMP command changes the text mode parameters. You can set the following SMS parameters: first octet, service center time stamp, validity period and the protocol identifier. The AT+CSCA command is used to specify the service center address supplied by the service provider when in text mode. In PDU mode, it is possible to code the service center address in the PDU itself. Therefore, setting the service center address with AT+CSCA is optional. AT+CSMS is used to select the message service. If you want to use SMS features specified in GSM 07.05 Phase 2+, you need to enable Phase 2+ functionality with AT+CSMS. AT+CNMI is used to enable the presentation of URCs when the module receives a short message, a cell broadcast message or statusreport. AT^SMGO is used to enable the presentation of URCs when the SMS storage is full. AT+CPMS is used to select the preferred storage for short messages. AT+CGSMS selects preferences for transmitting MO short messages over GPRS or circuit switched services. AT^SSCONF enables or disables the presentation of the parameters <ra> and <tora> fpr status reports in the result codes of SMS reading and listing commands.

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 27 of 73

If you want to receive cell broadcast messages activate the URC presentation for CBS with AT+CNMI and subscribe to a CBS channel with AT+CSCB. The AT^SM20 command specifies different modes of responses returned when sending and writing short messages: AT^SM20=,0 causes the ME return "+CMS ERROR: <err>" when writing or sending of short messages fails. AT^SM20=,1 (factory default) causes the ME to return OK no matter whether or not the SMS command was succesfully executed. Writing SMS AT+CMGF Select SMS message format AT^SMGO Set or query SMS overflow presentation mode or query SMS overflow AT+CSMP Set SMS text mode parameters AT+CMGW Write SMS message to memory Reading SMS AT+CMGL List SMS messages from preferred storage AT^SMGL List SMS messages from preferred storage (does not change status) AT+CMGR Read SMS message AT^SMGR Read SMS message (does not change status) Deleting SMS AT+CMGL List SMS messages from preferred store (optional) AT+CMGD Delete SMS message (mandatory) Sending SMS AT+CMGS Send SMS message AT+CMSS Send SMS message from storage Receiving SMS AT+CMGR Read SMS message AT+CNMA New SMS message acknowledge to ME/TE, only phase 2+ SMS Status Report There are two ways to activate the presentation of status reports: - When using PDU mode, status reports can be enabled with the first octet of the PDU. - When using text mode, you can switch it on with the first parameter (<fo>) of AT+CSMP To be notified when a status report is received, activate the URC presentation with AT+CNMI.

Internet Services
The modem has an embedded TCP/IP stack that is driven by AT commands and enables the host application to easily access the Internet. The advantage of this solution is that it eliminates the need for the application manufacturer to implement their own TCP/IP and PPP stacks, thus minimizing cost and time to integrate Internet connectivity into a new or existing host application. This Section is a reference guide to all the AT commands and responses defined for use with the TCP/IP stack. Access is provided to the following Internet Services: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Socket Client and Server for TCP, Client for UDP FTP Client HTTP Client SMTP Client POP3 Client

Step-by-step instructions on how to configure and use TCP/IP communications: First of all, create a connection profile with AT^SICS. The connection profile is a set of basic parameters which determines the type of connection to use for an Internet service. Up to 6 connection profiles can be defined, each identified by the <conProfileId>. Secondly, use AT^SISS to create a service profile based on one of the connection profiles. Up to 10 service profiles can be defined, each identified by the <srvProfileId>. The service profile specifies the type of Internet service to use, i.e. Socket, FTP, HTTP, or one of the email services SMTP or POP3. To assign a connection profile to a service profile, the <conProfileId> of AT^SICS must be entered as "conId" value of the AT^SISS parameter <srvParmTag>. This offers great flexibility to combine connection profiles and service profiles. For example, you may have one connection profile (CSD or GPRS) specified with AT^SICS which can be associated with an SMTP service profile for sending emails and a POP3 service profile for retrieving emails. Once the connection profile and the service profile are created, an Internet session can be opened by entering the AT^SISO write command and the desired <srvProfileId>. Wait for the resulting URC. The next command determines the action to be performed, for example reading data with AT^SISR or writing data with AT^SISW. Wait for the resulting URC. Finally, to end a session, enter the AT^SISC write command and the <srvProfileId>. Maximum number of profiles defined / used: Up to 6 connection profiles can be created (with AT^SICS). Up to 10 service profiles can be created (with AT^SISS), but the number of parallel profiles of the same service type is limited as listed below. If the maximum number of a service profile type is already defined, any attempt to set up another profile for the same type will be denied with "+CME ERROR: unknown". Maximum 3 HTTP profiles Maximum 6 socket profiles: Only 2 instances can be opened for listener, meaning that if 2 listeners are established another 4 instances can be opened for clients. Also, the socket service can accept an incoming connection only when at least one service profile is still free (not yet created with AT^SISS), otherwise the incoming connection will be rejected from the listener. If there is no listener established all 6 socket profiles can be configured as client. 1 FTP profile 1 POP3 profile 1 SMTP profile
001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 29 of 73

The TCP/IP stack of TC63i supports using several service profiles at the same time, provided all of them are running on the same connection profile. For example, it is possible to download files from an FTP server, while sending and receiving emails at the same time. GPRS connections established over the Dial-Up Network do not use the embedded TCP/IP stack of TC63i and can be active at the same time. This allows the user to have two parallel GPRS connections: for example, for sending or receiving emails over a GPRS connection enabled by the TCP/IP stack while, at the same time, surfing the Internet over a Dial-Up Network GPRS connection. Address notation Server addresses must be provided as IP addresses in standard dot-format (e.g. "192.168.1.2") or as server address names resolvable by a DNS server (e.g. "smtp.myserver.de" or "pop3.myserver.de"). Inactivity timeouts Inactivity timeouts are not part of the Internet AT command functionality implemented in the modem and, if desired, are the responsibility of the host application. It is recommended that the host application validates URCs and AT command responses and reacts adequately, for example by sending a close message or starting a timer.

SMC MODEM MODULE PROFILES

In addition to the default profile, you can store an individual one with AT&W. To alternate between the two profiles enter either ATZ (loads user profile) or AT&F (restores factory profile). NOTE: Every ongoing or incoming call will be terminated. Table 8.1: Profile Commands AT&V Returns the current parameter setting. The configuration varies depending on whether or not PIN authentication has been done. Stores the currently set parameters to a user defined profile in the nonvolatile memory. The user defined profile will be restored automatically after power-up. Use ATZ to restore user profile and AT&F to restore factory settings. Until the first use of AT&W, ATZ works as AT&F. AT&W stores all global settings and the current local settings of the interface, on which the command is executed. Sets all current parameters to the manufacturer defined profile. Refer to Section 8, Table 8.1. Sets all current parameters to the user profile stored with AT&W. If a connection is in progress, it will be terminated.

ATH Disconnect exsiting connection Switch from command mode (ie AT commands) to data mode/PPP online mode. This command is only available during a CSD call or a GPRS connection. The +++ character sequence causes the TA to cancel the data flow over the AT interface and switch to command mode. This allows you to enter AT commands while ATO maintaining the data connection to the remote device or, accordingly, the GPRS connection. To prevent the +++ escape sequence from being misinterpreted as data, it must be preceded and followed by a pause of at least 1000 ms. The +++ characters must be entered in quick succession, all within 1000 ms. +++ Switch from data mode to command mode

SECTION 10 - AT COMMAND REFERENCE

All modem functions are controlled using the same industry-standard AT commands that are used to control landline modems. A knowledge of all these commands is not required by most users, but are provided here as a reference.

AT Command Types
There are several types of AT commands as defined in the following list; Configuration Commands Status Control Commands Serial Interface Control Commands Security Commands Identification Commands Call Related Commands Network Service Commands Internet Service Commands GPRS Commands Short Message Service (SMS) Commands SIM Related Commands Hardware Related Commands The parameters set by the various AT commands in this section are applied to all subsequent calls and will be used each time you place a call. As such, your custom settings (if not saved in a profile) will be available until you power down the modem. These settings are lost upon powerdown if not saved. For further information, refer to the Cinterion TC63i AT Command Set document available from Cinterion.

Command Line Syntax

The "AT" or "at" prefix must be set at the beginning of each command line. To terminate a command line enter <CR>. Commands are usually followed by a response or, result codes, that includes "<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>". Table: 10.1 Command Syntax AT command type Syntax Test command Read command Write command Exec(ution) command AT+CXXX=? AT+CXXX? AT+CXXX=<...> AT+CXXX Function The mobile equipment returns the list of parameters and value ranges set with the corresponding Write command or by internal processes. This command returns the currently set value of the parameter or parameters. This command sets user-definable parameter values. The execution command reads non-variable parameters determined by internal processes in the GSM engine.

Commands may be edited using the backspace key, but the backspace will not delete the AT attention command at the beginning of the command line.

001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 34 of 73

Result Codes
After issuing a command, a result code will typically be displayed on the screen to inform you if the command was successful, unsuccessful, improperly formatted, etc. When in the command mode, thirteen possible result codes may be returned. The result codes can be set to display as either digits or words by accessing the Verbose command, ATV. The digit code is returned when the Verbose mode is OFF (ATV0); the word code is returned when Verbose is ON (ATV1). See table 10.2 for more information on Verbose format. Table: 10.2 Result Codes Numeric Verbose 0 OK 1 CONNECT 2 RING 3 NO CARRIER 4 ERROR 6 NO DIALTONE 7 BUSY 47 CONNECT 2400/RLP 48 CONNECT 4800/RLP 49 CONNECT 9600/RLP 50 CONNECT 14400/RLP ALERTING DIALING ^SYSSTART Description Command executed without errors. Link established. Ring detected. Link not established or disconnected. Invalid command or command line too long. No dial tone, dialling impossible, wrong mode. Remote station busy. Link with 2400 bps and Radio Link Protocol. Link with 4800 bps and Radio Link Protocol. Link with 9600 bps and Radio Link Protocol. Link with 14400 bps and Radio Link Protocol. Alerting at called phone Mobile phone is dialing Modem power up indication

Configuration Commands
These commands control the basic configuration of the modem. The parameters can only be read back by the AT&V command when in command state. The following table shows the command format. Table 10.3: Configuration Commands Command Description AT&F Sets all current parameters to the manufacturer defined profile. Returns the current parameter setting. The configuration varies depending on AT&V whether or not PIN authentication has been done and whether or not Multiplex mode is enabled Stores the currently set parameters to a user defined profile in the non-volatile AT&W memory. Set result code presentaion mode: ATQ 0 - DCE transmits result code 1 - Result codes are suppressed and not transmitted This command determines the contents of header and trailer transmitted with AT command result codes and information responses. ATV 0 Numeric Result Code information response 1 Verbose Result Code information response Set CONNECT result code format and call monitoring: 0 - CONNECT result code only returned, dial tone and busy detection are both disabled. ATX 1 - CONNECT <text> result code only returned, dial tone and busy detection are both disabled. 2 - CONNECT <text> result code returned, dial tone detection is enabled, busy detection is disabled.
001-0004-829 Rev01 Page 35 of 73

3 - CONNECT <text> result code returned, dial tone detection is disabled, busy detection is enabled. 4 - CONNECT <text> result code returned, dial tone and busy detection are both enabled. AT\V ATZ Set CONNECT result code format: 0 - CONNECT <text> result code returned without RLP trailer. 1 - CONNECT <text> result code returned with RLP trailer. Sets all current parameters to the user profile stored with AT&W. If a connection is in progress, it will be terminated. Sets phone functionality: AT+CFUN=0 NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode AT+CFUN=1 Full functionality AT+CFUN=7 CYCLIC SLEEP mode, In this mode, the serial interface is shortly enabled while CTS is active. If characters are recognized on the serial interface, the ME stays active for 2 seconds after the last character was sent or received. ME exits SLEEP mode only, if AT+CFUN=1 is entered. AT+CFUN=9 CYCLIC SLEEP mode, In this mode, the serial interface is shortly enabled while CTS is active. If characters are recognized on the serial interface, the ME stays active after the last character was sent or received for at least the time, which can be configured by AT^SCFG="PowerSaver/Mode9/Timeout",<psm9to> (temporary wakeup). In contrast to SLEEP mode 7 assertion of RTS can also be used to temporarily wake up the ME. AT+CFUN=1,1 will re-start the SMC modem and clear volitile memory. Initiates the power-off procedure. Request complete TA capabilities list. Mobile Equipment Error Message Format: AT+CMEE=0 Disable result code, i.e. only "ERROR" will be displayed. AT+CMEE=1 Enable error result code with numeric values. AT+CMEE=2 Enable error result code with verbose (string) values. Select TE character set: AT+CSCS=GSM GSM default alphabet (GSM 03.38 subclause 6.2.1); Note: This setting may cause software flow control problems since the codes used to stop and resume data flow (XOFF = decimal 19, XON = decimal 17) are interpreted as normal characters. AT+CSCS=UCS2 16-bit universal multiple-octet coded character set (ISO/IEC10646 [32]); UCS2 character strings are converted to hexadecimal numbers from 0000 to FFFF; e.g. "004100620063" equals three 16-bit characters with decimal values 65, 98 and 99, $(AT R97)$ Extended Configuration Settings: The AT^SCFG? read command returns a list of all supported parameters and their current values. The AT^SCFG= write command queries a configuration parameter (if no value is entered) or sets its value(s). Input of parameter names is always coded in GSM character set, parameter values are expected to be given as specified via AT+CSCS. Sets M20 compatibility mode: AT^SM20=<CallMode>, <CmgwMode> 0 - Set compatibility to Siemens mobile phones. 1 - Default mode

Status Control Commands

The AT Commands described in this section allow the external application to obtain various status information from the modems cellular module. Table 10.4: Status Control Commands Command Description Mobile Equipment Event Reporting: AT+CMER=<mode>,0,0,<ind>,0 Mode: 0 - Discard "+CIEV" and "^SLCC" URCs. 1 - Discard "+CIEV" and "^SLCC" URCs when TA-TE link is reserved, e.g. in online data mode. Otherwise they are forwarded directly to the TE. 2 - Buffer "+CIEV" and "^SLCC" URCs in the TA while TA-TE link is reserved, e.g. in online data mode, and flush them to the TE afterwards. Otherwise they AT+CMER are forwarded directly to the TE. 3 - Forward "+CIEV" and "^SLCC" URCs directly to the TE. If SMC modem is in online data mode, URCs are signaled via sending BREAK (100ms) and stored in a buffer. Once it is back in command mode e.g. after +++ was entered, all URCs stored in the buffer will be output. Ind: 0 - Disable indicator event reporting. 2 - Enable indicator event reporting. The command controls the presentation of Indicator Event Reports related to various functions such as battery charge level, signal quality, service AT+CIND availability, sound generation, indication of unread short messages, full SMS storage, call in progress or roaming activities. The read command provides a list of all indicators supported by AT+CIND and AT^SIND. Each indicator is represented with its registration mode and current AT^SIND value. The write command can be used to select a single indicator in order to modify its registration and to view the current value. The command returns an extended error report regarding the reason of the last; call release failure to set up a call (both mobile originated or terminated) failure to modify a call by using Supplementary Services AT+CEER failed attempt to activate, register, query, deactivate or deregister a Supplementary Service unsuccessful GPRS attach or unsuccessful PDP context activation GPRS detach or PDP context deactivation Controls the presentation of extended call release reports for circuit switched ATS18 fax and data calls. Extended call release reports related to voice calls are controlled via AT+CEER. Mobile equipment activity status: 0 - Ready AT+CPAS 3 - Incoming call (ringing) 4 - Call in progress or call hold

This mode is the default setting if 7E1 or 7O1 is activated with AT+ICF. 1 - In a data connection 8 bits will be transmitted, including the parity bit, i.e. the parity bit will be properly transmitted over the air. The setting shall be used if problems are encountered when TC65 is running in the default 7E1 or 7O1 mode enabled with AT+ICF. In this case, AT^STPB=1 shall be set in addition to the 7E1 or 7O1 settings selected with AT+ICF.

Security Commands
The AT Commands described in this section allow the external application to determine various security related settings. Table 10.6: Security Commands Command Description PIN Authentication: AT+CPIN? command returns an alphanumeric string indicating whether or not AT+CPIN network authentication is required. AT+CPIN=<pin>,<new pin> command allows the modem to store the entered password. Display PIN counter: AT+SPIC Command used to find out whether the ME is waiting for a password and, if so, how many attempts are left to enter the password. Facility lock: Command can be used to lock, unlock or interrogate a network or ME <facility>. AT+CLCK The command can be aborted when network facilities are being set or interrogated. The facility for the SIM PIN is SC. Change Password: AT+CPWD=<facility>, <old password>, <new password> Command allows user to define a new password for a password protected AT+CPWD <facility> lock function. Each password is a string of digits, the length of which varies with the associated <facility>. The test command returns a list of pairs which represent the available facilities and the maximum length of the associated password. The facility for the SIM PIN is SC.

GPRS Commands
This Section describes AT Commands that a TE (Terminal Equipment, e.g. an application running on a controlling PC) may use to control the modem acting as a GPRS Mobile Termination (MT). A brief description of the GPRS commands are provided in Table 10.11. For futher information, refer to the Cinterion TC63i AT Command Set document available from Cinterion [2]. Table 10.11: GPRS Commands Command Description PDP context activate or deactivate: The test command is used for requesting information on the supported PDP context activation states. The read command returns the current activation states for all the defined PDP contexts. The write command is used to activate or deactivate the specified PDP context(s). After the command has completed, the MT remains in V.250 AT+CGACT command state. If any PDP context is already in the requested state, the state for that context remains unchanged. If the MT is not GPRS attached when the activation form of the command is executed, the MT first performs a GPRS attach and then attempts to activate the specified contexts. If no <cid>s are specified the activation/deactivation form of the command activates/deactivates all defined contexts. =0 deactivated =1 activated Manual response to a network request for PDP context activation: The write command requests the MT to respond to a network request for GPRS PDP context activation which has been signaled to the TE by the RING or CRING AT+CGANS unsolicited result code. The <response> parameter allows the TE to accept or reject the request. =0 the request is rejected and the MT returns OK to the TE =1 accept and request that the PDP context be activated GPRS attach or detach: The test command is used for requesting information on the supported GPRS service states. The read command returns the current GPRS service state. The write command is used to attach the MT to, or detach the MT from the AT+CGATT GPRS service. After the command has completed, the MT remains in V.250 command state. If the MT is already in the requested state, the command is ignored and the OK response is returned. Any active PDP contexts will be automatically deactivated when the attachment state changes to detached. =0 detached =1 attached

Automatic response to a network request for PDP context activation: The test command returns the values of <n> supported by the MT as a compound value. The write command disables or enables an automatic positive response (autoanswer) to the receipt of a Request PDP Context Activation message from the network. It also provides control over the use of the V.250 basic commands ATS0, ATA and ATH for handling network requests for PDP context activation. =0 Disable automatic response for network requests for GPRS PDP context activation. GPRS network requests are manually accepted or rejected by the AT+CGANS command. =1 Enable automatic response for network requests for GPRS PDP context activation. GPRS requests are automatically accepted according to the description below. =3 Modem compatibility mode. The automatic acceptance of both GPRS and incoming CSD calls is controlled by the ATS0 command. Manual control uses the ATA and ATH commands, respectively, to accept or reject GPRS network requests or incoming CSD calls. Enter data state: The test command is used for requesting information on the supported layer 2 protocols to be used between the TE and MT. The write command causes the MT to perform all actions which are necessary to establish communication between the TE and the network using one or more GPRS PDP types. This may include performing a GPRS attach and one or more PDP context activations. Commands following the AT+CGDATA command in the AT command line will not be processed by the MT. =PPP layer 2 protocol PPP supported Define PDP Context: The test command returns supported values as a compound value. The read command returns the current settings for each defined PDP context. The write command specifies the parameters for a PDP context identified by the context identifier <cid>. The number of contexts that may be in a defined state at the same time is given by the range returned by the test command. A special form of the write command (AT+CGDCONT=<cid>) causes the values for context <cid> to become undefined. AT+CGDCONT=<cid>,IP,<APN>,<PDP_addr>,0,<h_comp> cid: PDP Context Identifier, 1 or 2 APN: Access Point Name PDP_addr: Packet Data Protocol address h_comp: 0 - header compression off 1 - header compression on 3G Quality of Service Profile (Minimum acceptable) 3G Quality of Service Profile (Requested) Show PDP address Quality of Service Profile (Minimum acceptable) Quality of Service Profile (Requested)

GPRS network registration status: The read command returns the status of result code presentation and an integer <stat> which shows whether the network has currently indicated the registration of the MT. The write command controls the presentation of an unsolicited result code "+CGREG: <stat>" when <n>=1 and there is a change in the MT's GPRS network registration status. Select service for MO SMS messages: The test command is used for requesting information on which services and service preferences can be set by using the AT+CGSMS write command The read command returns the currently selected service or service preference. The write command is used to specify the service or service preference that the MT will use to send MO SMS messages. If parameter <service> is not given, the current value remains unchanged. =0 GPRS =1 Circuit switched =2 GPRS preferred (use circuit switched SMS transfer if GPRS SMS transfer is not possible, for example when the mobile is not GPRS attached or the network does not support SMS over GPRS) =3 Circuit switched preferred (use GPRS if circuit switched is not available) Query all PDP context activations: The test command returns supported interfaces and states. The read command lists the activation states for all activated PDP contexts of the ME. Contexts, which are created internally by the GPRS modem compatibility commands, will displayed only, if they are activated. The Output of this command is unsorted. The exec command returns the sum of all activated PDP contexts of the ME. Set type of authentication for PPP connection: =0 none =1 PAP =2 CHAP =3 PAP and CHAP Configuration of GPRS related Parameters: AT^SGCONF=<llc_pdu_length_U>,<llc_pdu_length_I>,<GPRS msclass> llc_pdu_length_U: 0 - no negotiation with network (500 will be used) 140...1520 - lower values diminish performance llc_pdu_length_I: 0 - no negotiation with network (500 will be used) 140...1520 - lower values diminish performance GPRS msclass: GPRS Multislot Class. The parameter can be changed only when the MT is detached, otherwise ''CME ERROR: operation temporary not allowed'' will be returned. The value can be one of the classes indicated with the Test command. The value set is volatile and powerup value is the maximum allowed. Manual response to a network request for PDP context activation: The command may be used to accept a network request for a PDP context activation announced by the unsolicited result codes "RING" or "+CRING: GPRS".

The AT commands described in this section are related to the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) connected to the modem. A brief description of the SIM related commands are provided in Table 10.13. For futher information, refer to the Cinterion TC63i AT Command Set document available from Cinterion [2]. Table 10.13: SIM Related Commands Command Description Restricted SIM Access: The command offers easy access of the Elementary Files on the SIM. Access to the SIM database is restricted to the commands which are listed; 176 READ BINARY AT+CRSM 178 READ RECORD 192 GET RESPONSE 214 UPDATE BINARY 220 UPDATE RECORD 242 STATUS Extended SIM Access: AT^SXSM extends AT+CRSM with additional SIM commands; 136 RUN GSM ALGORITHM AT^SXSM Start the authentication mechanism and cipher key generation on the SIM. It runs the algorithms A3 and A8 using a 16 byte random number and the subscriber authentication key Ki, which is stored in the SIM. Query SIM and Chip Card Holder Status: AT^SCKS This command controls the SIM connection presentation mode and queries the connection status of the SIM and the card holder tray of the modem. Indicate SIM data ready: After power-up and personalization (PIN entry if required) the ME starts reading data from SIM. The AT^SSET command controls the presentation of the "^SSIM AT^SSET READY" URC which indicates, on the corresponding serial channel, when the ME has finished reading SIM data. Afterwards all commands that depend on SIM data fields can be used. Display SIM card identification number: AT^SCID TA returns the card identification number in SIM as string type. Display card ID: AT+CXXCID TA returns the card identification number in SIM as string type.

Hardware Related Commands

The AT Commands described in this section are related to the modems's hardware interface. A brief description of hardware related commands are provided in Table 6.14. For futher information, refer to the Cinterion TC63i AT Command Set document available from Cinterion [2]. Table 10.14: Hardware Related Commands Command Description Real Time Clock: Format is "yy/mm/dd,hh:mm:ss", where the characters indicate the two last digits of the year, followed by month, day, hour, minutes, seconds; for example 6th of July 2005, 22:10:00 hours equals to "05/07/06,22:10:00" Factory default is "02/01/01,00:00:00" Write command: =<time> AT+CCLK <time> is retained if the device enters the Power Down mode via AT^SMSO. <time> will be reset to its factory default if power is totally disconnected. In this case, the clock starts with <time>= "02/01/01,00:00:00" upon next powerup. Each time SMC modem is restarted it takes 2s to re-initialize the RTC and to update the current time. Therefore, it is recommended to wait 2s before using the commands AT+CCLK and AT+CALA (for example 2s after ^SYSSTART has been output). Set alarm time: The write command can be used to set an alarm time in the ME or to clear a AT+CALA programmed alarm. When the alarm time is reached and the alarm is executed the ME returns an Unsolicited Result Code (URC) and the alarm time is reset to "00/01/01,00:00:00". Set critical operating temperature presentation mode or query temperature: Use this command to monitor the temperature range of the module. The write command enables or disables the presentation of URCs to report critical temperature limits. Write command: =0 Presentation of URCs is disabled (except for <m> equal to -2 or +2). AT^SCTM =1 Presentation of URCs is enabled. Read command: -2 Below lowest temperature limit (causes immediate switch-off) -1 Below low temperature alert limit 0 Normal operating temperature 1 Above upper temperature alert limit 2 Above uppermost temperature limit (causes immediate switch-off)

APPENDIX A POWER SUPPLY DESIGN INFORMATION Power Supply Issues

Because of its high current consumption during transmission, power supply design for the SMC-GPRS modem should be focused on the transmitting mode (dedicated mode). More information can be found in related document [3]. Power Consumption for GSM/GPRS Cell Module Due to the maximum RF power levels of approx. 2W the power supply current is modulated with 2A (approx.) pulses of 0.577ms every 4.6ms. During the receive only time period, current GSM call consumption is lower than 100mA. An example current profile is illustrated in Figure 1. The measured values refer to the GSM 900MHz band at maximum power level with a real 50Ohm load.

Figure 1: Current Peak Example During a GSM call the module transmits in one timeslot, receives in one or two timeslots and is idle for 5-6 timeslots. In all it transmits for 577s and is idle or receiving for 4.03ms. Taking worst case figures into account, this adds up to an average current consumption of about 500mA for 1Tx timeslot at GSM.

Power Losses and Voltage Drops for GSM/GPRS Cell Module The cell modules are specified to operate with specific voltage supplies. Voltage supplies may range from 3.2V to 4.5V as measured on the modules power connector. To be on the safe side, it should be assumed that the voltage drop during the TX burst does not exceed 400mV. This means that if the cell module requires a minimum voltage supply of 3.2V, the power supply solution should provide at least 3.6V to the cell module. The SMC-GPRS modem has a built in 3A linear supply which regulates the 5VDC input down to 3.9VDC for the cell module.

SMC-GPRS Power Supply Requirements

The SMC-GPRS modem is designed with a 3A linear supply with two 100uF capacitors on the output. The 5VDC input voltage level should not dip below 4.6VDC during TX bursts to ensure proper regulation for the 3.9VDC supplied to the cell module and for the serial port buffer IC (supplied by the 5VDC input line). Figure 2 shows an example of a 5VDC source supply dipping to 4.72VDC during these TX burst cycles. The 3.9VDC regulated line to the cell module stays relatively constant.

Figure 2: Voltage drop during TX bursts The regulator on the SMC-GPRS modem will provide a post filtering effect, lowering external supply ripple to the cell module. The current draw on the 5VDC external supply during these TX burst cycles can be 1.4 Amps.

SMC-GPRS Power Supply Considerations Ideally, the external 5VDC supply should be able to provide the 1.4A current required by the SMCGPRS modem when the TX bursts occur. When this is not a practical design alternative, a mix between a linear regulator and capacitor supply may be an alternative approach. Figure 3 shows the basic block diagram.

Figure 3: Regulator/Capacitor Block Diagram In a mixed power supply solution there are two components that can supply the current for the module if operated in parallel. These components are usually a big capacitor and a power supply circuit. With this solution power is supplied from both the capacitor and the external regulator. C = ( Icap x dT ) / dU Icap Amps, current required by capacitor dU Volts, voltage change across capacitor dT 577s, discharge time (TX burst timing) Ipeak = Isupply + Icap (1.4A TX burst current) For example, if the regulator supply is designed to provide 500mA to cover the average power needs of the SMC-GPRS modem, the capacitor will need to supply the 900mA needed during TX bursts. Assuming a 400mV change across the capacitor we have; C = (0.9A x 577s) / 0.4V C = 1298F The table below shows the required capacitor values for different capacitor current requirements using the same voltage drop across the capacitor.
