Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. AT Commands for EDGE Modems (S000371B) 95

8.3 AT^SOPS Extended Operator Selection

Description: AT^SOPS queries the present status of the Multi-Tech wireless modem’s network registration.

Since basic operator selection services are available with AT+COPS this command uses the

methods of the Enhanced Operator Name String (EONS) specification while handling operator

name strings. Additional EONS related information is available with AT^SIND.

AT^SOPS test command lists sets of five parameters, each representing an operator present in

the network.

A set consists of:

1. an integer indicating the availability of the operator,

2. specification of the source of the operator name <eonsOperator>,

3. operator name according to EONS Table,

4. Service Provider Name from the SIM Service Table and

5. numeric format representation of the operator.

Any of the parameters may be unavailable and will then be an empty field (,,).

The list of operators comes in the following order: Home network, networks referenced in SIM

and other networks.

After the operator list the Multi-Tech wireless modem returns lists of supported <mode>s and

<format>s. These lists are delimited from the operator list by two commas.

If the test command is used while an ongoing GPRS transfer, traffic will be interrupted for up to

one minute.
