1.3Document conventions
Throughout the document, the GSM engines are referred to as ME (Mobile Equipment), MS (Mobile Station), TA
(Terminal Adapter), DCE (Data Communication Equipment) or facsimile DCE (FAX modem, FAX board).
To control your GSM engine you can simply send AT Commands via its serial interface. The controlling device
at the other end of the serial line is referred to as TE (Terminal Equipment), DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) or
plainly 'the application' (probably running on an embedded system).
All abbreviations and acronyms used throughout this document are based on the GSM specifications. For definitions please refer to TR 100 350 V7.0.0 (1999-08), (GSM 01.04, version 7.0.0 release 1998).
1.3.1Quick reference table
Each AT command description includes a table similar to the example shown below. The table is intended as a
quick reference to indicate the following functions:
PIN:Is the AT command PIN protected?
%Yes
!No
§Usage is dependent on conditions specified for the command, or not all command types are PIN
protected (for example write command PIN protected, read command not).
Note: The table provided in Section 21.3, Available AT Commands and Dependency on SIM
PIN uses the same symbols.
ASC0:Is the AT command supported on the first physical serial interface ASC0?
%Yes
!No
ASC1:Is the AT command supported on the second physical serial interface ASC1?
%Yes
!No
USB:Is the AT command supported on the USB interface?
%Yes
!No
MUXn: Is the AT command usable on the Multiplexer channels MUX1, MUX2, MUX3?
%Yes
!No
§AT command is usable, but under the restrictions specified in the section related to the command.
Note: The columns MUX1, MUX2 and MUX3 are relevant only when the GSM engine operates in Mul-
tiplexer mode, that is, when the first physical serial interface is partitioned into 3 virtual channels
by using the Multiplexer protocol. Usage is the same on ASC0 and MUX1.
4
%Yes
!No
§In AIRPLANE mode, not all described functions are available. For example, the test or read com-
Charge: Is the AT command supported in CHARGE ONLY mode?
%Yes
!No
§AT command is usable, but under the restrictions specified in the section related to the command.
Last:If commands are concatenated, this AT command must be the last one.
%Yes
!No
Note: See also Section 1.4, AT Command Syntax for details on concatenated AT commands.
Is the AT command supported in AIRPLANE mode?
mand is usable, the write or execute command is not. Furthermore, only some of the listed
parameters can be changed in AIRPLANE mode. A typical example is AT^SCFG that controls different features.

•Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets. If optional parameters are omitted, the current settings
are used until you change them.
•Optional parameters or subparameters can be omitted unless they are followed by other parameters. If you
want to omit a parameter in the middle of a string it must be replaced by a comma. See also example 1.
•A parameter value enclosed in square brackets represents the value that will be used if an optional parameter
is omitted. See also example 2.
•When the parameter is a character string, e.g. <text> or <number>, the string must be enclosed in quotation
marks, e.g. "Charlie Brown" or "+49030xxxx". Symbols in quotation marks will be recognized as strings.
•All spaces will be ignored when using strings without quotaton marks.
•It is possible to omit the leading zeros of strings which represent numbers.
•If an optional parameter of a V.250 command is omitted, its value is assumed to be 0.

1.4.2Combining AT commands on the same command line
You may enter several AT commands on the same line. This eliminates the need to type the "AT" or "at" prefix
before each command. Instead, it is only needed once at the beginning of the command line. Use a semicolon
as command delimiter.
The table below lists the AT commands you cannot enter together with other commands on the same line. Otherwise, the responses may not be in the expected order.

1.5 Supported character sets
s
1.5Supported character sets
The ME supports two character sets: GSM 03.38 (7 bit, also referred to as GSM alphabet or SMS alphabet) and
UCS2 (16 bit, refer to ISO/IEC 10646). See AT+CSCS for information about selecting the character set. Character
tables can be found below.
Explanation of terms
•International Reference Alphabet (IRA)
IRA means that one byte is displayed as two characters in hexadecimal format. For example, the byte 0x36
(decimal 54) is displayed as "36" (two characters). IRA is used here for input 8-bit or 16-bit data via terminal
devices using text mode. This means only characters 'A'..F','a'..'f' and '0'..'9' are valid.
•Escape sequences
The escape sequence used within a text coded in the GSM default alphabet (0x1B) must be correctly interpreted by the TE, both for character input and output. To the module, an escape sequence appears like any
other byte received or sent.
•Terminal Adapter (TA)
TA is used equivalent to Mobile Equipment (ME) which stands for the GSM module described here. It uses
GSM default alphabet as its character set.
•Terminal Equipment (TE)
TE is the device connected to the TA via serial interface. In most cases TE is an ANSI/ASCII terminal that
does not fully support the GSM default alphabet, for example MS Hyperterminal.
•TE Character Set
The character set currently used by Terminal Equipment is selected with AT+CSCS.
•Data Coding Scheme (dcs)
DCS is part of a short message and is saved on the SIM. When writing a short message to the SIM in text
mode, the dcs stored with AT+CSMP is used and determines the coded character set.
The behavior when encountering characters, that are not valid characters of the supported alphabets, is undefined.
Due to the constraints described below it is recommended to prefer the USC2 alphabet in any external application.
If the GSM alphabet is selected all characters sent over the serial line (between TE and TA) are in the range from
0 to 127 (7 Bit range). CAUTION: ASCII alphabet (TE) is not GSM alphabet (TA/ME) !
Several problems resulting from the use of GSM alphabet with ASCII terminal equipment:
•"@" character with GSM alphabet value 0 will terminate any C string! This is because the 0 is defined as C
string end tag. Therefore, the GSM Null character may cause problems on application level when using a 'C'function as "strlen()". This can be avoided if it is represented by an escape sequence as shown in the table
below.
By the way, this may be the reason why even network providers often replace "@"with "@=*" in their SIM
application.
•Other characters of the GSM alphabet are misinterpreted by an ASCII terminal program. For example, GSM
"ö" (as in "Börse") is assumed to be "|" in ASCII, thus resulting in "B|rse". This is because both alphabets mean
different characters with values hex. 7C or 00 and so on.
•In addition, decimal 17 and 19 which are used as XON/XOFF control characters when software flow control
is activated, are interpreted as normal characters in the GSM alphabet.
When you write characters differently coded in ASCII and GSM (e.g. Ä, Ö, Ü), you need to enter escape
sequences. Such a character is translated into the corresponding GSM character value and, when output later,
the GSM character value can be presented. Any ASCII terminal then will show wrong responses.

Table 1.5: Examples for character definitions depending on alphabet
CAUTION: Often, the editors of terminal programs do not recognize escape sequences. In this case, an escape
sequence will be handled as normal characters. The most common workaround to this problem is to write a script
which includes a decimal code instead of an escape sequence. This way you can write, for example, short messages which may contain differently coded characters.

3) This code is defined as a Page Break character and may be used for example in compressed CBS messages. Any mobile
which does not understand the 7 bit default alphabet table extension mechanism will treat this character as Line Feed.

1.5.2UCS2 and GSM data coding and conversion for SMS text mode
This section provides basic information on how to handle input and output character conversion for SMS text
mode and Remote-SAT if internal (TA) and external (TE) character representation differ, i.e. if the Data Coding
Scheme and the TE character use different coding.

Note: The ratio of SIM bytes to output bytes is given in parentheses.
Case 1
Every GSM character is sent to TE as it is (8-bit value with highest bit set to zero).
Example: 47'H, 53'H, 4D'H → 47'H, 53'H, 4D'H, displayed as "GSM"
Case 2
Every data byte will is sent to TE as 2 IRA characters each representing a halfbyte.
Example: B8'H (184 decimal) → 42'H, 38'H, displayed as "B8"
Case 3
Every 16-bit UCS2 value is sent to TE as 4 IRA characters.
Example: C4xA7'H (50343 decimal) → 43'H, 34'H, 41'H, 37'H, displayed as "C4A7"
Problem: An odd number of bytes leads to an error because there are always two bytes needed for each USC2
character
Case 4
Every GSM character is sent to TE as 4 IRA characters to show UCS2 in text mode.
Example: 41'H ("A") → 30'H, 30'H, 34'H, 31'H, displayed as "0041"

Case 6
Every 16-bit value is sent to TE as IRA representation of it. It is assumed that number of bytes is even.
Example: C3x46'H → 43'H, 33'H, 34'H, 36'H, displayed as "C346"

UCS2Case 4
UCS2 to GSM (4:1)
Note: The ratio between the number of input characters and bytes stored on the SIM is given in parentheses.
Case 1
Every character is sent from TE to TA as GSM character (or ASCII with Hyperterminal).
Character value must be in range from 0 to 127 because of 7-bit GSM alphabet.
To reach maximum SMS text length of 160 characters in 140 bytes space characters will be compressed on SIM.
This must be set using the parameter <dcs> of AT+CSMP (add 64).
Example: "ABCDEFGH" typed is sent and stored uncompressed as → 4142434445464748'H (stored compressed as 41E19058341E91'H)
Case 2
Every data byte is sent to TA as 2 IRA characters.
Maximum text length is 280 IRA characters which will be converted into 140 bytes SMS binary user data
Example: "C8" typed is sent as 43'H, 38'H → stored as C8'H
Case 3
Every 16-bit value is sent to TA as 4 IRA characters.
Maximum text length is 280 IRA characters which will be converted into 70 UCS2 characters (16-bit each)
Number of IRA characters must be a multiple of four because always 4 half bytes are needed for a 16-bit value
Example: "D2C8" typed is sent as 44'H, 32'H, 43'H, 38'H → stored as D2C8'H
DCS = 8 bit

Case 3
IRA to 16 bit (4:2)
Case 6
UCS2 to 16 bit (4:2)
Case 4
Every GSM character is sent to TA as 4 IRA characters representing one UCS2 character.
Example: To store text "ABC" using UCS2 character set you have to type "004100420043".
This is sent as 30'H,30'H,34'H,31'H, 30'H,30'H,34'H,32'H, 30'H,30'H,34'H,33'H → detected as IRA representation of 3 UCS2 characters, converted to GSM character set and stored as 41'H, 42'H, 43'H.
Maximum input is 640 IRA characters repesenting 160 UCS2 characters when compression is active. These are
converted to 160 GSM 7-bit characters.
Without compression only 140 GSM characters can be stored which are put in as 560 IRA characters.
Values of UCS2 characters must be smaller than 80'H (128 decimal) to be valid GSM characters.
Number of IRA characters must be a multiple of four. Problems:
• "41" → Error, there are four IRA characters (two bytes) needed
• "0000" → Error, not an UCS2 character
• "4142" → Error, value of UCS2 character > 7F'H
• "008B" → Error, value of UCS2 character > 7F'H
This affects the maximum input length of a string)
Case 5
Every UCS2 character is sent as 4 IRA characters and is converted into two 8-bit values. This means that the
first two characters have to be '00'.
Example: UCS2 character 009F'H typed as "009F" is sent as 30'H,30'H,39'H,46'H → converted into 8-bit value
9F'H.
Maximum number of UCS2 characters is 140 which are represented by 560 IRA characters. Number of IRA characters must be a multiple of four.
Case 6
Every UCS2 character is sent as 4 IRA characters each and is converted into a 16-bit value again.
Example: UCS2 character 9F3A'H typed as "9F3A" is sent as 39'H,46'H,33'H,41'H → converted into 9F3A'H.
Maximum number of UCS2 characters is 70 which are represented by 280 IRA characters. Number of IRA characters must be a multiple of four.
Invalid UCS2 values must be prevented.

1.6 Serial Interface Flow Control
s
1.6Serial Interface Flow Control
Flow control is essential to prevent loss of data or avoid errors when, in a data or fax call, the sending device is
transferring data faster than the receiving side is ready to accept. When the receiving buffer reaches its capacity,
the receiving device should be capable to cause the sending device to pause until it catches up.
There are basically two approaches to regulate data flow: Software flow control and hardware flow control. The
High Watermark of the input/output buffer should be set to approximately 60% of the total buffer size. The Low
Watermark is recommended to be about 30%. The data flow should be stopped when the capacity rises close to
the High Watermark and resumed when it drops below the Low Watermark. The time required to cause stop and
go results in a hysteresis between the High and Low Watermarks.
During Multiplex mode (AT+CMUX) it is recommended to use hardware flow control.
1.6.1Software Flow Control (XON/OFF Handshake)
Software flow control sends different characters to stop (XOFF, decimal 19) and resume (XON, decimal 17) data
flow. The only advantage of software flow control is that three wires would be sufficient on the serial interface.
1.6.2Hardware Flow Control (RTS/CTS Handshake)
Hardware flow control sets or resets the RTS/CTS wires. This approach is faster and more reliable, and therefore, the better choice. When the High Watermark is reached, CTS is set inactive until the transfer from the buffer
has completed. When the Low Watermark is passed, CTS goes active again.
To achieve smooth data flow, ensure that the RTS/CTS lines are present on your application platform. The application should include options to enable RTS/CTS handshake with the GSM engine. This needs to be done with
the AT command AT\Q3 - it is not sufficient to set RTS/CTS handshake in the used Terminal program only.
The default setting of the GSM engine is AT\Q0 (no flow control) which must be altered to AT\Q3 (RTS/CTS
hardware handshake on). The setting is stored volatile and must be restored each time after the GSM engine
was switched off.
AT\Q has no read command. To verify the current setting of AT\Q, simply check the settings of the active profile
with AT&V.
Often, fax programs run an intialization procedure when started up. The intialization commonly includes enabling
RTS/CTS hardware handshake, eliminating the need to set AT\Q3 once again. However, before setting up a
CSD call, you are advised to check that RTS/CTS handshake is set.
RTS/CTS hardware handshake must also be set if you want to take advantage of the CYCLIC SLEEP modes.
For further details refer to AT+CFUN.

1.7 Unsolicited Result Code Presentation
s
1.7Unsolicited Result Code Presentation
URC stands for Unsolicited Result Code and is a report message issued by the ME without being requested by
the TE, i.e. a URC is issued automatically when a certain event occurs. Hence, a URC is not issued as part of
the response related to an executed AT command.
Typical events leading to URCs are incoming calls ("RING"), waiting calls, received short messages, changes in
temperature, network registration etc.
A list of all URCs can be found in Section 21.7, Summary of Unsolicited Result Codes (URC).
To announce a pending URC transmission the ME will do the following:
•The ME activates its RING line (logic "1") for 1 second, i.e. the RING line changes to the physical "Low" level.
This allows the TE to stay in power saving mode until an ME related event requests service.
If several URCs occur coincidently or in quick succession each URC triggers the RING line independently,
although the line will not be deactivated between each URC. As a result, the RING line may stay low for more
than 1 second.
If an incoming call is answered within less than 1 second (with ATA or if autoanswering is set to ATS0=1) than
the RING line will be deactivated earlier.
The "^SHUTDOWN" will not activate the RING line.
•If the AT command interface is busy a "BREAK" will be sent immediately but the URC will not be issued until
the line is free. This may happen if the URC is pending in the following cases:
-During the processing of an AT command (i.e. the time after the TE echoes back the first character "A" of
an AT command just sent by itself until the ME responds with "OK" or "ERROR").
-During a data call.
Please note that AT command settings may be necessary to enable in-band signaling, e.g. refer to AT+CMER
or AT+CNMI.
It is strongly recommended to use the multiplex mode to map logical communication channels onto the serial line
of the TC63, for details refer to [5] and AT command AT+CMUX. Doing so it is possible to use one channel to still
process URCs while having a data call active on another.
For most of these messages, the ME needs to be configured whether or not to send a URC. Depending on the
AT command, the URC presentation mode can be saved to the user defined profile (see AT&W), or needs to be
activated every time you reboot the ME. Several URCs are not user definable, such as "^SYSSTART",
"^SYSSTART <text>", "^SHUTDOWN"
If autobauding is enabled (as factory default mode or set with AT+IPR=0), URCs generated after restart will be
output with 57600 bps until the ME has detected the current bit rate. The URCs "^SYSSTART", "^SYSSTART
<text>", however, are not presented at all. For details please refer to Section 4.9.1, Autobauding. To avoid problems we recommend to configure a fixed bit rate rather than using autobauding.
1.7.1Communication between Customer Application and TC63
Leaving hardware flow control unconsidered the Customer Application (TE) is coupled with the TC63 (ME) via a
receive and a transmit line.
Since both lines are driven by independent devices collisions may (and will) happen, i.e. while the TE issues an
AT command the TC63 starts sending an URC. This will probably lead to the TE's misinterpretation of the URC
being part of the AT command's response.
To avoid this conflict the following measures must be taken:
•If an AT command is finished (with "OK" or "ERROR") the TE shall always wait at least 100 milliseconds
before sending the next one.
This gives the TC63 the opportunity to transmit pending URCs and get necessary service.
Note that some AT commands may require more delay after "OK" or "ERROR" response, refer to the following
command specifications for details.
•The TE shall communicate with the TC63 using activated echo (ATE1), i.e. the TC63 echoes characters
received from the TE.
Hence, when the TE receives the echo of the first character "A" of the AT command just sent by itself it has
control both over the receive and the transmit paths.

1.9Errors and Messages
The command result codes "+CME ERROR: <err>" and "+CMS ERROR: <err>" indicate errors related to mobile
equipment or network functionality.
The format of <err> can be either numeric or verbose and is selectable via AT+CMEE.
A result error code terminates the execution of the command and prevents the execution of all remaining commands that may follow on the same command line. If so, neither "ERROR" nor "OK" result codes are returned
for these commands. A 30 seconds timeout will deliver "ERROR" when the input of a command is not complete.
Using the wrong command syntax may result in errors: For example, using the execute command syntax
although the command has no execute format, causes "ERROR" to be returned. Likewise, using the write command syntax although the command has no write format causes "+CME ERROR: <err>" to be returned.

2.9 AT+CFUN
s
2.9AT+CFUNSet phone functionality
The AT+CFUN command serves to control the functionality level of the ME. It can be used to reset the ME, to
choose one of the SLEEP modes or to return to full functionality.
Intended for power saving, SLEEP mode reduces the functionality of the ME to a minimum and thus minimizes
the current consumption. SLEEP mode falls in two categories:
•NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode <fun>=0
•and CYCLIC SLEEP modes, selectable as <fun>= 7 or 9.
NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode permanently blocks the serial interface. The benefit of the CYCLIC SLEEP mode is
that the serial interface remains accessible and that, in intermittent wake-up periods, characters can be sent or
received without terminating the selected mode. This allows the ME to wake up for the duration of an event and,
afterwards, to resume power saving. Please refer to Section 2.9.1, Wake up the ME from SLEEP mode for a
summary of all SLEEP modes and the different ways of waking up the module.
For CYCLIC SLEEP mode both the ME and the application must be configured to use hardware flow control.
This is necessary since the CTS signal is set/reset every 0.9-2.7 seconds in order to indicate to the application
when the UART is active. The default setting of hardware flow control is AT\Q0 which must be altered to AT\Q3.
For use after restart you are advised to add it to the user profile saved with AT&W.
If both interfaces ASC0 and ASC1 are connected, hardware flow control must be set in either application.
The AT+CFUN test command returns the values of the supported parameters.
The AT+CFUN read command returns the current functionality value.
The AT+CFUN write command can be used to reset the ME, to choose one of the SLEEP modes or to return to
full functionality.

URC 1
^SYSSTART
Indicates that the ME has been started and is ready to operate. If autobauding is active (AT+IPR=0) the URC
is not generated.
If the ME is configured to enter the Airplane mode after restart or reset the following URC is received on bootup: "^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE". In this mode, only the AT commands listed in Section 21.4, Avail-
ability of AT Commands Depending on Operating Mode of ME can be used. For details please
refer to the AT^SCFG command, parameter <mapos>.
URC 2
^SYSSTART CHARGE ONLY MODE
Indicates that the ME has entered the CHARGE ONLY mode. This occurs if the charger is connected while
the ME is in POWER DOWN mode. If autobauding is active (AT+IPR=0) the URC is not generated. In
CHARGE ONLY mode the ME is neither registered to the GSM network nor are the serial interfaces fully
accessible. Only the AT commands listed in Section 21.4, Availability of AT Commands Depending
on Operating Mode of ME can be used. For further details on charging refer to the Hardware Interface
Description [2].

Parameter Description
(&F)
(num)
In this mode, the AT interface is not accessible. Consequently, after setting
<fun>=0, do not send further characters. Otherwise these characters remain
in the input buffer and may delay the output of an unsolicited result code.
Due to the fact that the serial interface is disabled, this mode cannot be used
if a Remote SIM Access (RSA) connection is ongoing (reason: during RSA
connections the SIM communication is routed via a serial channel).
The first wake-up event stops power saving and takes the ME back to full functionality level <fun>=1.
Full functionality.
If the ME is in one of the CYCLIC SLEEP modes you can issue AT+CFUN=1
to stop power saving and return to full functionality.
Keep in mind that, unlike the reset command described below, this action does
not restart the ME but only changes the level of functionality. See parameter
<rst> for details on the reset.
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.
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. In this case too, activity time is at least the time set with
AT^SCFG="PowerSaver/Mode9/Timeout",<psm9to>. RTS can be activated
either from ASC0 or ASC1.

Notes
•If both serial interfaces ASC0 and ASC1 are connected, any functionality level set with AT+CFUN takes effect
on both of them. In Multiplex mode, the CFUN profile is shared by all multiplexer channels.
•If the ME is in Multiplexer mode, it is not recommended to activate SLEEP mode with AT+CFUN=<fun>. The
best approach to properly control SLEEP mode in this case is to issue the PSC messages described in [5],
Section "Power saving control".
•When a circuit-switched call is in progress, <fun>=7 or 9 can be activated without terminating the call. However, setting <fun>=0 during a circuit-switched call immediately disconnects this call.
•To check whether power saving is on, you can query the status with the read command AT+CFUN? only if
the module is in full functionality mode or in CYCLIC SLEEP mode. If available, you can also take advantage
of the status LED controlled by the SYNC pin (see AT^SSYNC and [2]). With AT^SSYNC you can select different modes of LED signalization during SLEEP modes (see Section 19.6.1, ME status indicated by status LED
patterns for details). However, the module can wake up temporarily from power saving without leaving its
CYCLIC SLEEP mode (without changing +CFUN "<fun>"), e.g. for a network scan after a loss of radio coverage, or after receipt of serial data during CYCLIC SLEEP mode. During this "temporary wakeup state" the
LED will operate as if the ME was in full functionality mode.
•Recommendation: In NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode, you can set an RTC alarm to wake up the ME and return
to full functionality. This is a useful approach because, in this mode, the AT interface is not accessible.
2.9.1Wake up the ME from SLEEP mode
A wake-up event is any event that causes the ME to draw more current. Depending on the selected mode, the
wake-up event either switches the SLEEP mode off and takes the ME back to full functionality AT+CFUN=1, or
activates the ME temporarily without terminating the selected SLEEP mode.
Definitions of the state transitions described in Table 2.3:
•Quit: ME exits SLEEP mode.
•Temporary: ME becomes active temporarily for the duration of the event and the mode-specific follow-up time
after the last character was sent or received on the serial interface.
•No effect: Event is not relevant in the selected SLEEP mode. The ME does not wake up.

•Do not send any other AT command after AT^SMSO.
•If AT^SMSO is entered on one of the Multiplexer channels the ME closes the Multiplexer channels, terminates
the Multiplexer and deactivates all other functions. Then, the URC "^SHUTDOWN" will be issued on the phys-
ical serial interface (ASC0). The URC will be transmitted at the bit rate last activated on ASC0 for use with
the Multiplex driver.
•If both interfaces ASC0 and ASC1 are connected the URC appears on both of them.
•If the module is in NORMAL mode and the charger is connected to the VCHARGE line, the AT^SMSO command causes the module to shut down shortly and then start into the CHARGE ONLY mode. If the module is
in CHARGE ONLY mode the AT^SMSO command is not supported at all. In both cases, the module can only
be switched off by disconnecting the charger. See also [2].

AutoExec AT command String
This parameter specifies the AT command(s) to be launched automatically. Each AT command is executed in
the same way as if it were entered online, this means that command concatenation is possible if supported by
the given commands. If serial multiplex mode is activated (AT+CMUX) the first logical channel is used, i.e. CSD
calls (data or fax) could be set up. If the TC63 is busy on the serial channel command execution will be delayed
until ongoing action is finished.
The first two characters of the automatically launched AT command shall be "at".
Please refer to examples below.

control is in use (AT\Q3) and the RTS line is inactive and there are incoming
IP packets for a GPRS context which is online, then the RING line will be activated once, for a time which is configured by the parameter "URC/Ringline/

parameter "URC/Ringline" (<uri>).
(P)
“off“
RING line is not activated for incoming IP packets.
<map>
(str)(+CSCS)
MEopMode/Airplane: Enable/disable Airplane mode during operation
The two parameters <map> and <mapos> can be used to enable/disable the Airplane mode. Airplane mode
shuts down the radio part of the ME (PA and receiver), causes the ME to log off from the GSM/GPRS network
and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection. A list of AT commands supported
during Airplane mode can be found in Section 21.4, Availability of AT Commands Depending on
Operating Mode of ME. The benefit of Airplane mode is that, at locations where no RF emission is allowed
(typically airplanes, hospitals etc.), the subscriber can continue using network-independent features rather than
powering off the entire device (e.g. a PDA or smartphone).
If the subscriber tries to use an AT command not available in Airplane mode the response "+CME ERROR:
Unsupported AT command" is returned.
Parameter <map> allows entering or leaving the Airplane mode any time during operation, eliminating the need
to enter the SIM PIN again. It can be used no matter whether the parameter <mapos> is "on" or "off".
Parameter <map>is global for all interfaces, volatile and will not be reset by AT&F.
“on“Activates Airplane mode and shuts down the radio part of the ME. The URC
"^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE" appears.
(P)
“off“
Deactivates Airplane mode, wakes up the radio part of the ME and restores
access to network-dependent AT commands. The URC "^SYSSTART"
appears.

<mapos>
(str)(+CSCS)
MEopMode/Airplane: Airplane mode upon ME restart
There are two ways to enter Airplane mode upon restart: One is using AT^SCFG with <mapos> as described
below.
Another approach is configuring the ME to restart into Airplane mode at a scheduled time. In this case, use the
AT+CALA command, set an alarm time and then switch the ME off. When the alarm time is reached the ME
wakes up to Airplane mode, no matter whether <mapos> was set "on" or "off".
Parameter <mapos> is global for all interfaces, non volatile and will not be reset by AT&F.
“on“Causes the ME to enter the Airplane mode each time the ME is restarted or
reset.
After restart or reset, the URC "^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE" appears and
parameter <map> is "on". The SIM PIN can be entered using the AT+CPIN
command. This enables the ME to read data from the SIM and give access to
SIM PIN dependent AT commands which are available in Airplane mode, such
as phonebook commands or several SMS commands. To notify the user when
SIM data are accessible it is recommended to activate the "^SSIM READY"
URC and store its presentation mode to the user profile with AT&W.
To return from Airplane mode to Normal mode set the parameter <map> to "off"
as described above. If PIN authentication was already done, the ME will try
now to register to the GSM network.
(P)
“off“
<psm9to>
(str)(+CSCS)
Airplane mode will not be activated after ME restart or reset.
Power saving mode 9 timeout
This parameter can be used to query or configure the wake up time for power saving mode 9 (see AT+CFUN with
parameter <fun>=9). The granularity of the timeout value is 100ms (i.e. a value of 10 equal 1 second). The minimum timeout value that can be applied is 5, but accuracy is only guaranteed for timeout values greater than 20.
Parameter is global for the ME, volatile and will not be reset by AT&F.
(P)

...36000
<rba>
(str)(+CSCS)
Allowed radio band(s)
The parameters <rba>, <rbp> and <rbc> allow the subscriber to set and query preferences for selecting fre-
quency bands.
Before changing <rba> or <rbp> ensure that no network activity occurs. The write command cannot be executed when making a call, sending or receiving short messages or when the mobile is not registered, but searching for a network. Therefore, to keep track of the module's registration state when changing the band
configuration, it is recommended to activate the URC "+CREG" first (see Section 8.4, AT+CREG). For example,
the URC "+CREG: 2" indicates that the ME is in network search mode. In this mode any attempt to change the
band parameters will be rejected with ERROR.
Execution of the write command causes the ME to deregister from and re-register to the network, no matter
whether the selected <rbp> or <rba> setting really changes. In this case too, it is useful to have the URC
"+CREG" enabled.
The status of the SIM PIN authentication remains unchanged, eliminating the need to enter the SIM PIN again
after the change.
The parameter <rba> determines the maximum range of the bands allowed. The value may be one of the single
bands listed below or all valid combinations from the values 1, 2, 4 and 8. Thus, the value range of <rba> is
"1".."15". To select or deselect a band calculate the sum of the values of all desired bands and enter the resulting
value. For example, for 1800 MHz (2) and 850 MHz (8) please enter the value (10).
Parameter <rba> is global for the ME, non-volatile and will not be reset by AT&F.

“2“GSM 1800 MHz
“4“GSM 1900 MHz

Preferred radio band(s)
The parameter <rbp> may be one of the single bands or one of the four dualband combinations listed below.
All preferred bands must be contained in the range of allowed bands (see <rba>), otherwise the write command
will return ERROR. Invalid combinations will neither be accepted, resulting in "+CME ERROR: invalid index". To
give priority to a certain single band or band combination and suppress all others simply select the same value
both for <rbp> and <rba>.
<rbp> primarily serves to trigger the network search, i.e. it is only used one time for searching and selecting a
network. As the currently used band depends on the availability of the allowed networks the value indicated by
<rbc> may be different from <rbp>. Also, next time a network search is necessary, for example after restart,
the ME will first try to reselect the network last used, which may be different from the value of <rbp> last given.
Therefore, the setting of <rbp> will not be saved.
The value range of <rbp> is "1...12", but only the bands or band selections listed below are allowed. Trying to
set an unsupported value will be denied with "ERROR". To select or deselect a band calculate the sum of the
values of all desired bands and enter the resulting value. For example, for GSM 1800 MHz (2) and GSM 850
MHz (8) please enter the value (10).
Currently selected radio band(s)
The band(s) indicated with <rbc> are all allowed bands found at a location area. This means, if prompted to
select a network the ME will search for these networks only. The value can be either a single band or a dualband
combination.
<rbc> is only a response parameter returned either after sending the read command AT^SCFG? or writing
AT^SCFG="Radio/Band".
In addition to <rbc> and to allow the subscriber to be notified whenever the selected band changes it is recommended to activate the "+CIEV" (see Section 3.3, AT^SIND).

Notes
•Any changes to parameters of the Autoexec function will be saved and restored on next power-up only when
the ME is switched off via AT commands (e.g. AT+CFUN or AT^SMSO).
•Please keep in mind, that each time the ME is restarted the timers of all autoexec actions configured with
<AutoExecType>=1 and <AutoExecPeriod> will be reinitialized and restarted. As a result, an autoexec
action configured at a time later then a scheduled automatic restart would never be executed.
•Be careful using <AutoExecType>=1 with small period values and shutdown or reset AT commands, since
only little time remains to change these settings again after TC63 restart.
•If <AutoExecATC> uses AT commands containing secret data, this information may be retrieved with
AT^SCFG?. For instance, this applies if using AT+CPIN.
•Parameters "GPRS/ATS0/withAttach" (<gs0aa>) and "GPRS/RingOnIncomingData" (<groid>) are avail-
able only for modules supporting GPRS.

TC63 AT Command Set
3.2 AT+CIND
s
3.2AT+CINDIndicator control
The AT+CIND 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.
Use of AT+CIND has become outdated. Rather we recommend the more powerful AT^SIND command which is
easier to use and provides additional indicators. All indicators provided by AT+CIND can be handled with
AT^SIND as well.
AT+CIND supports two ways to get the values related to indicators:
•One approach is to query the current status of each indicator by using the read command AT+CIND?. It
returns the status no matter whether the indicator has been registered with the write command
AT+CIND=[<mode>[,<mode>[,...]]].
•The other way is an event-driven notification based on the "+CIEV" URCs. In this case, the ME will automatically send a message to the application, whenever the value of an indicator changes. The application should
be designed to react adequately when receiving a URC.
The presentation of these URCs depends on two settings:
-The indicators must be registered with the write command AT+CIND=[<mode>[,<mode>[,...]]]. When the
ME is switched on all of them are in registered mode. Any indicator can be excluded if deregistered with
<mode>=0. To register or deregister an indicator the AT+CIND write command requires to type the value
<mode>=1 or 0 exactly at the position where the indicator is located in the list. This is not necessary with
AT^SIND which allows to specify indicators by name. See examples below.
-The presentation of the registered indicators must be enabled with AT+CMER.

•Due to its restrictive value range, indicator "call" does not clearly reflect specific call states (such as alerting,
active, held etc.), but rather serves to trigger the application to retrieve the new call status from the list of current calls with the AT commands AT^SLCC, AT+CLCC or AT^SCNI.
•If AT^SCFG setting <succ>="verbose", indicator "call" will be issued also when a traffic channel is established, or when a call enters states "terminating" or "dropped" (see Call Status Information).

The following indicators are accessible via AT^SIND only:
“audio“Activity of the built-in audio unit.
“vmwait1“Voice Message Waiting Indication for line 1
(str)
0Audio unit not active.
1Value 1 means for example:
Outgoing voice call: Indicator appears when dialing starts.
Incoming voice call: Indicator appears prior to the RING result code.
0The value 0 notifies that no new voice message is available, and is pro-
vided by the service center to clear the voice message indication after
the subscriber has retrieved all voice messages.
1The value 1 notifies the subscriber that the mailbox contains one or
several messages.
"vmwait1" and "vmwait2" indicate the receipt of a special short message with
a Voice Message Waiting Indicator. The service must be provisioned by the
operator.
The numbers 1 or 2 in "vmwait1" and "vmwait2" are related to the two lines of
the Alternate Line Service (ALS), also defined in CPHS Phase 2 standard. For
further details refer to the AT^SALS command.
The presentation mode of the indicator varies with the operator: If more than
one message are waiting, some operators only indicate the first one, others
deliver the indicator each time a new voice message is put into the mailbox.

TC63 AT Command Set
3.3 AT^SIND
After the subscriber has retrieved all voice messages the service center automatically sends another message indication which provides the value 0.
Some operators may also send the number of waiting voice messages along
with the indication. In this case, the number will be displayed by the TC63 as
part of the URC. For example, "+CIEV: vmwait1,1,5" notifies that five new voice
messages are waiting. However, it should be noted that neither the read command AT^SIND? nor the write command AT^SIND=<mode>,2 display the
number of waiting messages.
The "vmwait" indicators do not apply if a network provider signals new voice
mail(s) via standard SMS. In this case the indicator "message" will be displayed
(see AT+CIND).

“ciphcall“Ciphering Status Change Indication
0Current call or SMS is not ciphered.
1Current call or SMS is ciphered.
As stated in GSM specifications 02.07 and 02.09 the ciphering indicator feature
allows the TC63 to detect that ciphering is not switched on and to indicate this
to the user.
The ciphering indicator feature may be disabled by the home network operator
setting data in the "administrative data" field (EF
GSM 11.11.
If this feature is not disabled by the SIM, then whenever a connection is in

“adnread“Abbreviated Dialing Number (ADN) Phonebook Read Indication
0Phonebook reading is not finished.
1Phonebook reading is finished.
Every time after entering the AT+CPIN the module starts reading the ADN
phonebook. This can be used to enable the TE to output the phonebook
records as URCs. The advantage is that the user does not need to wait until
the phonebook read command AT+CPBR is accessible after entering the SIM
PIN (depending on the SIM card this may take up to 30 seconds without RSA
or 2 minutes with RSA).
If <mode>=1 all used ADN phonebook records stored on the SIM will be output
as URCs after SIM PIN authentication has been performed successfully. A
URC with "READY" tag issued at the end of the list indicates that TC63 has finished reading the phonebook.
Note that the settings of AT^SIND and AT+CMER will be restored to their default
values when restarting the TC63. Therefore it is recommended that the settings be enabled before entering the SIM PIN. This can be done, for example,
after rebooting the TC63.

The Enhanced Operator Name String indicator feature allows the TC63 to output various operator names for different PLMN identities via URC. It also allows
the output of a different operator name based on a subset of the registered network by using a range of Location Area Codes (LACs) or a single LAC.
The presentation of the "eons" indicator is determined by network activity. For
example, the indicator appears every time a location update occurs or a NITZ
information is sent, no matter whether or not the status of the EONS information has changed. This means that the same EONS information may be
reported several times.
The EONS tables are stored in the SIM card and will be read at power-up.
Following are the SIM Elementary Files that are affected by the introduction of
EONS feature in the SIM card:
EF
(SIM Service Table) - describes which features are active.
SST
EF
(Operator PLMN List) - contains the PLMN identification and location ID
OPL
together with the index of the corresponding PNN record
EF
(PLMN Network Name) - contains the full and short form version of the
PNN
network name for the registered PLMN
If the Operator Name Source is CPHS Operator Name String long and short
form, refer to <indValue>, the following two SIM Elementary Files will be
used:
EF
who issued the SIM.
EF
the PLMN operator who issued the SIM.
(Operator Name String) - contains the name of the PLMN operator
ONString
(Operator Name Short form) - contains a short form of the name of

“nitz“ Network Identity and Time Zone indication
This indicator shows the time relevant information elements of an MM Information (MMI) or GMM Information (GMMI) message received from the network
(see GSM 24.008, ch. 9.2.15a and 9.4.19). The network usually sends a NITZ
indicator when the mobile attaches to the network, when it enters a location
area with different time zone or when a daylight change occurs.
A NITZ indicator may consist of the following parameters: Universal Time (UT),
local Time Zone (TZ), Daylight Saving Time (DST). All information elements of
MMI/GMMI are optional and therefore, the presentation of the parameters
<nitzUT>, <nitzTZ>, <nitzDST> varies with the network. For example, the
network may send all three parameters UT, TZ, DST, or only UT and TZ or only
TZ.
UT is indicated in usual date/time format and represents the current world time
(GMT) at the moment when sent.
TZ is given as a positive (east) or negative (west) offset from UT in units of 15
minutes.
DST shows the number of hours added to the local TZ because of daylight saving time (summertime) adjustment. Usually DST is 1 hour but it can be also 2
hours in certain locations.
Example for time and time zone with DST:
+CIEV: nitz,"04/07/23,13:39:20",-28,1
In this example TZ is -28, showing a time offset of -7 hours (west) to Universal
Time/GMT (which never changes for DST). DST is 1 which indicates that one
hour was added to TZ because of Daylight Saving Time. If a network does not
send the DST parameter the TZ value would be -32 (8 hours west) as would
be done in winter:
+CIEV: nitz,"04/11/23,13:39:20",-32
Please be aware that despite the last NITZ value can be looked up again via
"AT^SIND=nitz,2" the returned values may be out of date. Especially the UT
value is obsolete because there is no internal NITZ clock and therefore no continuation of UT.
NITZ values are lost when the module detaches from network. Also when a

manual network selection fails and the module automatically falls back to the
previous network the NITZ values cannot be recalled. Nevertheless an indicated time zone is valid until a new MMI/GMMI will trigger another NITZ indication.
“band“Currently selected frequency band or band combination.
1...14 Identical with <rbc> of AT^SCFG. The value indicates the band(s) cur-
rently available for network selection, depending on the network config-
uration either a single band or a dualband combination. The URC
appears whenever the status of the currently available band(s)
changes, for example after using the AT^SCFG command to change
the "Radio/Band" parameters <rba> or <rbp>. Please see AT^SCFG
for further detail about the feature "Radio/Band" selection.
s
<indValue>
Integer type value in the range stated above for the corresponding <indDescr>.
Notes specific to the EONS feature:
If the indicator is "eons", the <indValue> is a type associated to the operator name according to GSM 22.101
[25]. This type depends on the source of the operator name.
Priority of types associated to the operator names is defined as follows (the type listed first has the highest priority). If a type cannot be indicated the next one will be used.

Notes
•When using XON/XOFF flow control (AT\Q1) in online mode, +++ should not be used while the data transmission is paused with XOFF. Before entering the command mode with +++ the paused transmission should
be resumed using the XON character.
•For compatibility reasons, the AT\Q command can be used in Multiplex mode, though the settings will not
take effect. However, be aware that whenever you use the AT\Q write command in Multiplex mode and then
save the current configuration to the user profile with AT&W, the changed AT\Q setting will become active after
restart.
•Flow control can also be set using AT+IFC.

TC63 AT Command Set
4.6 AT+ICF
Notes
•If AT+ICF modes 7E1 or 7O1 are set, the parity bit will by default not be transmitted over the air. If the remote
party expects the parity bit to be transmitted, additional settings are required via AT^STPB.
•When using a bit rate of 300 bps there must be a delay of 500ms before entering the next command. At bit
rates of 1200 bps the delay must be 300ms. For higher bit rates use of the default delay is sufficient.
•TC63's autobaud feature detects the bit rate currently used by the TE. However, this detection suffers some
limitations described in Section 4.9.1, Autobauding. If autobauding is enabled, the AT+ICF read command
does not show the current character framing, but the character framing that will be used when autobauding
is disabled.
•For compatibility reasons, the command can be used in Multiplex mode, though the settings will not take
effect. Please note that changes made on multiplex channel 1 will be saved with AT&W and will become active
when restarting the ME after AT^SMSO.
•To start the multiplexer it is necessary to set the character framing to 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
•If a <format> is selected without parity (e.g. <format>=3) and you try to activate a format with parity (e.g.
<format>=2), you need to explixitly set the parameter <parity> (e.g. AT+ICF=2,1). Otherwise you will get
'+CME ERROR: invalid index'. This is because for <format>=3, the parameter <parity> is set to the internal value 'no parity' which is not supported by <format>=2. (Remember that if an optional parameter is omit-
ted for which no default is stated in this specification, the value of the parameter remains unchanged).

4.7 AT+IFC
Notes
•When using XON/XOFF flow control (AT+IFC=1,x or AT+IFC=3,x) in data mode, +++ should not be used
while the data transmission is paused with XOFF. Before entering the command mode with +++ the paused
transmission should be resumed using the XON character.
•For compatibility reasons, the AT+IFC command can be used in Multiplex mode, though the settings will not
take effect. However, be aware that whenever you use the AT+IFC write command in Multiplex mode and
then save the current configuration to the user profile with AT&W, the changed AT+IFC setting will become
active after restart.

Command Description
The test command returns the values of the supported automatically detectable bit rates and the values of the
supported fixed bit rates.
The read command returns the current bit rate of the interface.
The write command specifies the bit rate to be used for the interface. When you set a fixed-rate, make sure that
both TE (DTE) and TA (DCE) are configured to the same rate. When you select autobauding, the TA will automatically recognize the bit rate currently used by the TE.
The setting is stored in the non-volatile memory and will be used whenever the engine is powered up again. However, in case of autobaud mode (AT+IPR=0) the detected TA bit rate will not be saved and, therefore, needs to
be resynchronized after restarting the GSM engine (see Section 4.9.1, Autobauding).
