3.6.6 Wake up MC55/56 from SLEEP mode
A wake-up event is any event that causes the module to draw current. Depending on the
selected mode the wake-up event either switches SLEEP mode off and takes MC55/56 back
to AT+CFUN=1, or activates MC55/56 temporarily without leaving the current SLEEP mode.
Definitions of the state transitions described in Table 11:
Quit = MC55/56 exits SLEEP mode and returns to AT+CFUN=1.
Temporary = MC55/56 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. MC55/56 does not
wake up.

Recommendation: In NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode, you can set an RTC alarm to wake
up MC55/56 and return to full functionality. This is a useful approach because, in this
mode, the AT interface is not accessible.
