Operational States
The modem has three operational states:
• Command State
• Online State
• Online Command State
When first powered on, the modem is in the Command State where it is able to accept AT
commands. When instructed to dial out or to answer a data call, the phone is in the Online State.
Activating your Modem
1. Connect the modem to an active COM port on a PC with an RS-232, 9 pin straight through cable.
2. Insert a SIM card with an activated account, gold contact side up. Refer to Figure 2.1, Section 2,
for card orientation.
3. Attach the antenna and power connector.
4. Connect with a Hyper-Terminal session set to 115,200, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and
Hardware Flow Control enabled. Refer to Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1: 819-GPRS HyperTerminal Port Settings
5. Confirm contact with the modem with the ATI command. This 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 3.2.
Page 21 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 22
6. Verify good signal strength with the AT+CSQ command. A typical reply is +CSQ 26, 0. The first
number is signal strength and ranges from 0 to 31 (the higher the number, the stronger the
signal.)
7. 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 it’s ID number.
8. Confirm the phone number currently in the modem with the AT+CNUM command. It should be
11 digits i.e. 15553331234. 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”.
9. Confirm that the SIM’s PIN has been authenticated by the network using the AT+CPIN?
command. The reply should read “+CPIN: READY”. See Section 5 for SIM related information if
“READY” does not display.
10. 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.
If your account supports voice, you can confirm modem activation by performing a voice call to
another phone with the ATD<Cell Phone Number>; command (for example ATD15553331234; the
semicolon is required for voice calls). Your other phone should ring and the Caller ID should display
the modem’s phone number.
Configuration and test of a Circuit Switch Data (CSD) call, and Packet Data Call (TCP/IP) as well as
other internet related connections are discussed in Section 4 next.
1. Connect the modem to an active COM port on a PC with an RS-232 9 pin straight through cable.
2. Insert the SIM card into the unit. Be sure your account can support CSD calls.
3. Attach the antenna and power connector.
4. Connect with a Hyper-Terminal session set to 115,200, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and
Hardware Flow Control enabled, the default speed of the modem.
5. Confirm contact with modem using AT+CGSN this prints out the IMEI of the modem (i.e.
355632004037819). If you get an Error or no communication, go to Section 7 on
Troubleshooting.
6. To auto-answer calls set ATS0=1 A value of ATS0=1 sets the modem to answer on the first
ring, where ATS0=0 disables the auto-answer feature. (NOTE: this is a letter S followed by a
Zero)
7. Specify the bearer service type, i.e. AT+CBST=7 will set type to 9600 V.32.
8. To set the Carrier Detect (DCD) to follow its connection state to the Cellular Network, set
AT&C1. The yellow DCD LED will turn on when connected to the Carrier, and turn off when not
connected. A value of AT&C0 sets CD to always be on, a value of AT&C2 sets CD to be always
on, but to wink when there is a change in the connection state.
9. Ensure that DTR is set to terminate the call and return the modem to command state on an ONto-OFF transition of DTR with AT&D2. A value of AT&D0 ignores DTR, a value of AT&D1 enters
online command state upon an ON-to-OFF transition of DTR while retaining the connected call.
10. Save the new settings in user profile with AT&W.
11. To confirm your settings, perform an AT&V. This will print out several lines of text with all the
register values.
12. Verify that you have good signal strength, AT+CSQ. A typical reply is +CSQ? 21, 0. The signal
strength (first number) ranges from 0 to 31, the higher the number the better the signal.
13. Set the modem for verbose result codes, with ATV1, this displays result codes as words, ATV0
displays result codes as numbers.
14. Confirm and that you are registered on the cellular network. Enable URC to report status of
network registration including location info rmation using the command AT+CREG=2. Type
AT+CREG?. The reply should be similar to +CREG: 2, 1, “7D0A”, “7E4D”, where the 1 indicates
registration on the home network, 7D0A is the location area code in hex, and 7E4D is the cell ID
in hex.
15. Test CSD Origination by calling your cell phone with ATD<phone number>; (for example, ATD15075551234;). Once the phone rings and you answer the phone, you should hear sounds
similar to a fax negotiation.
16. Test CSD Termination by calling the phone number of your modem. Once it answers you should
hear sounds similar to a fax negotiation. Hang up to terminate the connection.
17. To further test CSD termination connect another modem, (landline or cellular) to another
available COM port on a PC. Configure that modem and the COM port to your required speed, i.e.
9600, with AT+IPR=9600.
18. Start HyperTerminal on the second PC’s COM port and call the LandCell modem from this
terminal window with the following command. ATD<Phone number of second 819 Modem>.
Page 23 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 24
19. The terminal window connected to the 819-GPRS modem, will say “RING” and then once the
modems have negotiated a connection it should say “CONNECT 9600/RPL” for a 9600 baud
connection.
20. You can now type in text in either terminal window and it will appear in the other terminal
window. This means that your modem is now answering incoming CSD data calls.
21. Type in +++ (do not hit Enter key) to enter command mode and then type ATH to disconnect
the call.
22. Once you can originate and terminate CSD calls with the modem you are ready to connect the
modem to your equipment. Please ensure that your equipment is configured to your required
data rate, i.e. 9600 bps.
Packet Data Call Setup Steps
1. Create a 19,200 Generic Modem or, use the Network Connection created in Section 3 using the
GPRS 819S Driver, and configure it for 115,200, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Attach the modem
to an active COM port on the PC, i.e. COM1.
2. Configure the selected COM port to a maximum speed of 115,200 in the Hardware device
manager.
3. Insert the SIM card into the unit.
4. Attach the antenna and power to the 819-GPRS modem.
5. Connect it to the COM port with a 9 pin RS-232 straight through serial cable.
6. Use HyperTerminal on the COM port to set the Carrier Detect (DCD) to follow its connection state
to the Cellular Network, set AT&C1. The yellow LED will turn on when connected to the Carrier,
and turn off when not connected. A value of AT&C0 sets CD to always be on, and a value of
AT&C2 sets CD to be always on, but to wink when there is a change in the connection state.
7. Ensure that DTR is set to terminate the call and return the modem to command state on an ONto-OFF transition of DTR with AT&D2. A value of AT&D0 ignores DTR, a value of AT&D1 enters
online command state upon an ON-to-OFF transition of DTR but retains the current call.
8. Set the GPRS persistent context definitions to non-volatile by issuing the command
AT^SCFG=GPRS/persistentcontexts,1. GPRS persistent context will not be reset by AT&F.
Define the Access Point Name (APN) for the cellular provider by issuing the AT+CGDCONT=1, IP, <APN> command (example; AT+CGDCONT=1, IP, ISP.CINGULAR).
Save the new configuration with the AT^SMSO command. This will save settings and shutdown
the module. The modem should re-start and display “^SYSSTART”.
9. To confirm your settings, perform an AT&V. This will print out several lines of text with all the
register values.
10. Confirm that you are registered on the cellular network. Enable URC to report status of network
registration including location information using the command AT+CREG=2. Type AT+CREG?.
The reply should be similar to +CREG: 2, 1, “7D0A”, “7E4D”, where the 1 indicates registration
on the home network, 7D0A is the location area code in hex, an d 7E4D is the cell ID in hex.
11. Exit HyperTerminal.
12. Create a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) connection using the modem that you created with the active
COM port, i.e. COM1 in Network and Dial-up Connections. Configure it to 115,200 bps and set
Security to Typical. Refer to Section 3.
13. Start a DUN session by double clicking on the DUN icon that was created.
Page 24 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 25
14. Set the username and password as defined for your carrier (usually blank).
15. Enter the phone number as *99***1# with no area code and click on Dial.
16. The modem will dial out and attempt to connect.
17. If the configured baud rate for the modem, 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 n etwork and authenticate the user on the
network.
18. Once connected you will be able to browse the Internet through the DUN session. To confirm
this, disable any other network connection you may have running.
GPRS Internet Connection Set Up
Make sure that your SIM is provisioned with GPRS data services. Insert the SIM card, attach the
antenna and serial cable, and power on the unit. Start a HyperTerminal session as described earlier.
The AT^SICS command is used to setup the Internet Connection profile. For a generic setup type
the following commands:
AT^SICS=0,alphabet,1
AT^SICS=0,contype,gprs0
Different carriers may require a specific username, password, or apn to be configured as well.
Check the settings by typing, AT^SICS?. An example output response is shown below;
The GPRS connection can be tested with a PING service and the inactivity timer <InactTo>
deactivated (by default, it is set to 20 seconds as shown in the example output). The timer can be
disabled by sending AT^SICS=0,”inactTO”,0. Open only the GPRS connection without an
associated service. The connection won't be closed until AT^SICC=0 or closed by the network
because of inactivity (4 hours on Cingular in coverage). Once the connection is open with AT^SICO,
you cannot use AT^SISO or AT^SISC. Services defined with AT^SISS using connection profile 0 will
be immediately opened by typing;
Open the connection by typing, AT^SICO=0
Wait for the “OK” response.
Page 25 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 26
Start the ping test using the AT^SISX command. The example pings google.com 4 times with a
timeout of 2000 ms.
AT^SISX="Ping",0,"google.com",4,2000
The response output example is shown below (the output may differ, but should show a successful
^SISX: "Ping",2,0,4,4,0,0
^SISX: "Ping",3,0,471,798,567
OK
To close the connection type AT^SICC=0.
Internet Service Information: HTTP receive data
Once the GPRS Internet Connection profile has been setup using the AT^SICS commands, the
AT^SISS command is used to setup the Internet Service Information profile. For an HTTP service
test, type the following commands to setup a connection to receive data from yahoo.com:
The ^SISR: 0, 1 response indicates that there is data available and can be read by sending the
AT^SISR command. Send the AT^SISR commend requesting 1500 bytes of data.
AT^SISR=0,1500
The response will produce 1500 bytes of data (mostly html text) and another ^SISR: 0, 1 at the
end, indicating more data is available. Send the AT^SISR=0,1500 command until the response
reads ^SISR: 0, 2, indicating the data transfer is complete.
Check the connection state by typing AT^SISO?. An example output response is shown below;
In this example, HTTP data is sent to a fictitious server located at
http://myserver.com/mydir/myfile. Use the AT^SISS command to configure the connection profile.
AT^SISS=0,alphabet,1
AT^SISS=0,srvType,HTTP
AT^SISS=0,conId,0
AT^SISS=0,address,"http://myserver.com/mydir/myfile"
AT^SISS=0,hcMethod,1
AT^SISS=0,hcProp,"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" (or any other HTTP
properties)
To send data less than 128 bytes the AT^SISS=0,hcContent,”your data” can be used to send data
without using the AT^SISW command.
To send data larger than 128 bytes, first specify the size of the data by typing the following
command:
AT^SISS=0,hcContLen,xx where xx specifies the total amount of data to be sent.
Open the connection by typing, AT^SISO=0.
Check the connection state by typing, AT^SISO?.
Page 27 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 28
Send the data (if size > 128 bytes) by typing AT^SISW=0,<size>
Enter the data to be sent, you will get OK when all the bytes are transmitted. A response will be sent
something like:
^SIS: 0, 0, 2201, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
^SISR: 0, 1
Read the HTTP Answer by typing the command, AT^SISR=0,1500. This closes the connection and
give a response somewhat like the following;
^SISR: 0, 102
<the answer from the server>
OK
TCP Client Socket Setup
This example describes commands to setup the modem as a TCP Socket Client. To check that data is
received by the server, you can launch a TCP socket server on a computer with a public IP address.
Configure the modem using the following AT commands:
AT^SISS=0,srvtype,socket
AT^SISS=0,address,socktcp://'host':'remote tcpPort'[;disnagle='0|1']
For example:
Check the configuration settings by typing, AT^SISS?.
Open the connection by typing, AT^SISO=0.
A response of “^SISW: 0,1” will indicate that you can write (or send) data on this socket. Write
some data using the AT^SISW=0,x command, where x is the number of bytes, up to 1500.
A response of "^SISR: 0,1" will indicate that you have some data to be read. The
AT^SISR=0,1500 command will read up to 1500 bytes of data.
Close the upstream data with <EodFlag> at the end of the AT^SISW command by typing,
AT^SISW=0,0,1. The upload data direction needs to be closed for the latest firmware revision

AT^SISW=0,0,1.
Close connection by typing, AT^SISC=0.
FTP Download (GET) Setup
This example describes commands to setup the modem to download from an FTP server. The
module will support only passive mode for FTP transfers. Configure the modem using the following
AT commands:
AT^SISS=0,srvType,ftp
AT^SISS=0,conId,0
AT^SISS=0,address,"ftp://login:password:@<IP address of server>/example.txt"
Open the connection by typing, AT^SISO=0.
Read the file by typing AT^SISR=0,1500 to get the first 1500 bytes of data. After “^SISR: 0,2” is
displayed, all data has been received and the connection can be closed.
Close connection by typing, AT^SISC=0.
For more information on Internet related AT commands and specifically the AT ^SISS Internet
Service Setup Profile command, consult the Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document
available from Siemens.
The AT+CPIN command controls network authentication of the TC65.
The read command (AT+CPIN?) returns an alphanumeric string indicating whether or not network
authentication is required.
The write command allows the modem to store the entered password. 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 no PIN1 request is pending (for example if PIN1 authentication has been done
and the same PIN1 is entered again) the 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.
Users should be aware that when using a phonebook, SMS or Remote SAT command quickly after
SIM PIN authentication the SIM data may not yet be accessible, resulting in a short delay before the
requested AT command response is returned. This delay is due to the initial process of loading SIM
data once after SIM PIN authentication. The duration of loading SIM data is dependent on the SIM
card used and may take a couple of seconds.
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 regist ered 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 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, Section 9, Table 9.6.
See AT+CLCK and AT^SLCK for information on lock types, Section 9, Table 9.6.
To query and change the status of the SIM’s PIN enter the following AT commands:
AT+CMEE=2 Will enable error messages to be displayed as text.
AT+CLCK=”SC”,2 Will display the status of the PIN, 0=lock is inactive, 1=lock is active
AT+CPIN=xxxx Will verify that PIN xxxx is valid.
AT+CLCK=”SC”,0,xxxx Will set the PIN to “lock inactive”, where xxxx is the current active PIN

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#;.
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
Siemens AG 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. The timing should be considered by system integrators when
designing an individual MMI.
Refer to Section 9, Security Commands, for more information.
For more detailed information, refer to the Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document
In this section, you will find important information relating to the setup and diagnosis of your 819GPRS modem. If you are having trouble communicating with the modem, please read this
"Troubleshooting" section in full. If, after reviewing this section, you are still having problems
connecting, call our Technical Support line at: 507-833-8819 for more assistance. Toll charges may
apply.
Helpful Hints
Only assign one device to any given COM port on your system.
The 819-GPRS data modem has a default COM port speed of 115,200 bps. This is the data rate at
which your modem connects to your computer. The modem's COM port speed can be lowered to
300bps or raised to 230,400 bps. Warning: Please ensure your COM port is capable of 230,400 data
rates before changing the modem to this speed. As this setting adjusts the communications speed
that the modem utilizes to speak to the computer, altering this parameter must be performed in a
very specific way, otherwise, you may lose communication with the modem. To alter the defau lt
speed of 115,200 bps, first, connect via your terminal emulation software (settings: 115200bps, 8,
N, 1, Hardware). Now, you may issue the AT+IPR command to query or change the default speed.
After adjusting the port speed, disconnect from the modem and reconnect using the new data rate.
Refer to Table 9.5: Serial Interface Control Commands in Section 9 for more information pertaining
to the AT+IPR command.
Make certain the serial cable is firmly connected to an enabled COM port with no hardware resource
conflicts. Make sure that you have properly added the "MC75 Modem (GPRS)” (or the "Standard
19200 bps Modem") to your system (see Section 3 above). Also, check to see if you have an infrared
(IR) port assigned to your modem's COM port. Disable it if you are not using this function. Often, an
IR port can interfere with the COM port even after you successfully connect. Device Manager may
indicate that there is no conflict between the two, but disabling the IR port may still help.
If your system's COM port appears to be locked, you may have to shut down and reboot your
system.
Do not use "Disable Call Waiting" (commonly referred to as *70) when configuring Dialing
Properties.
Make certain that you are using the proper RS-232 serial cable. For most applications, you must use
a straight-through RS-232 serial cable. For certain types of equipment, you may be required to use a
null modem cable.
Diagnosing COM Port Problems Using HyperTerminal
If you are experiencing problems connecting to the cellula r network, you can verify if the issue is
between the computer and the modem or between the modem and the cellular network. To test,
open your terminal emulation software, such as Hyperterminal. Once the modem is ready to accept
commands, type: ATI and press enter. The product information of the modem should print out on
the screen (for example: SIEMENS, TC65, REVISION 02.000). This will confirm that you are
communicating with the LandCell modem and not some other device connected to or inside the PC.
If the product information does not print out, please confirm that you have selected the COM port
that the modem is attached to, and not some other port, internal modems typically show up as
COM3.

To test the link between your modem and the cellular network try to call your cell phone. Type in:
ATD<phone number to call>; (for example ATD15075551234;) and press enter. This command
will perform a voice call similar to the type a standard home phone would make and if your modem
has been activated correctly your cell phone should ring and display the number of the modem.
Answer the incoming call on your cell phone and then hang-up your cell phone. If you are properly
communicating with the modem using the steps above and still cannot connect through the cellular
network, here are a few items to check:
• Call the phone number of the modem. If the phone number is not active, the cellular service
will inform you of this.
• Confirm that the IMEI on the Label matches the IME I in the module with AT+CGSN This will
print out the IMEI of the Modem in Decimal format, ie 355632004037819. This rarely
happens, but if the numbers do not match, the wrong IMEI may be in your Account.
• Contact your cellular provider and make certain that the International Mobile Electronic
Identity (IMEI) of the modem is active in their system.
• Check the signal strength reaching the modem using the following command: AT+CSQ A
typical reply is +CSQ? 19,99. The signal strength (first number) ranges from 0 to 31, the
higher the number the better the signal.
• Issue the command: AT^SCID to verify that the SIM card is in the modem and installed
properly. The number should match the ICCID of the issued SIM card.
• Attempt to relocate the modem and/or antenna to receive a stronger signal.
NOTE: Running diagnostics from Modem Properties may not work if the computer attempts to
communicate with the modem at an improper baud rate.

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 terminat ed.
Table 7.1: 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
AT&W
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.
AT&F
ATZ
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

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 Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document
available from Siemens.
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: 9.1 Command Syntax

Result Codes
After issuing a command, a result code will typically be displayed on the screen to inf orm 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 9.2 for more
information on Verbose format.

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:

in online data mode, and flush them to the TE afterwards. Otherwise they are
forwarded directly to the TE.
3 - Forward "+CIEV" and "^SLCC" URCs directly to the TE. If TC65 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
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
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 terminat ed)
• failure to modify a call by using Supplementary Services
• 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

Switch from command mode to data mode / PPP online mode:
ATO is the corresponding command to the +++ escape sequence: When you
have established a CSD call or a GPRS connection and TA is in command mode,
ATO causes the TA to resume the data or GPRS connection and takes you back
to data mode or PPP online mode.
Switch from data mode to command 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 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.
Select bearer service type:
AT+CBST=<speed>
List current calls of ME:
The execute command returns a list of current calls of ME. If comman d is
successful, but no calls are available, no information response is sent to TE.

Internal Internet Service Commands
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. Socket Client and Server for TCP, Client for UDP
2. FTP Client
3. HTTP Client
4. SMTP Client
5. 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 ex ample, you may have one
connection profile (CSD or GPRS) specified with AT^SICS which can be associated w it h an SM TP
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 prof ile type is
already defined, any attempt to set up another profile for t he 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
Page 50 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 51
• The TCP/IP stack of TC65 supports using several service profiles at the same time, prov ided 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
TC65 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.
A brief description of the internet service commands are provided in Table 9.10. For futher
information, refer to the Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document available from Siemens.

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 GP RS Mobile Termination (MT).
A brief description of the GPRS commands are provided in Table 9.11. For futher information, refer
to the Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document available from Siemens.
Table 9.11: 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
AT+CGANS
AT+CGATT
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
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
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
Page 52 of 65
001-0003-829 Revision 1
Page 53
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>

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

SIM Related Commands
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 9.13. For futher information,
refer to the Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document available from Siemens.
Table 9.13: 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
AT^SXSM
AT^SCKS
AT^SSET
AT^SCID
AT+CXXCID
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
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:
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) t he ME starts reading
data from SIM. The AT^SSET command controls the presentation of the "^SSIM
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:
TA returns the card identification number in SIM as string type.
Display card ID:
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 9.14. For futher information,
refer to the Siemens TC65/MC75 AT Command Set document available from Siemens.
Table 9.14: 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
AT+CALA
AT^SCTM
• <time> is retained if the device enters the Power Down mode via AT^ SMS O.
• <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 TC65 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
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).
=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)
Maximum TX Power: GSM/GPRS: +33 dBm min. / +30 dBm min (1900MHz)
Rx Sensitivity: GSM/GPRS: -108 dBm typical, -102 dBm min.
Frequencies: Cellular: TX: 824-849 MHz Rx: 869-894 MHz
PCS: TX: 1850-1910 MHz Rx: 1930-1990 MHz
Temperature:Operating: -30°C to +60°C (-22° to 140°F) 100% Duty Cycle
Storage: -55°C to +85°C (-67° to 185°F)
