8.12 AT^SMONG GPRS Monitor
Description: This command supplies GPRS specific cell information. There are two ways to retrieve the
information: once on request by using the execute command or automatically every <period>
seconds by using the write command. To stop the periodic presentation type “AT” or “at”.
Syntax: Test Command: AT^SMONG=?
Response: ^SMONG:(list of supported <table>s), (list of supported <period>s)
OK
ERROR
+CME ERROR:<err>
Exec Command: AT^SMONG
Response: GPRS Monitor
Cell Info Table (see: AT^SMONG Cell Info table below)
OK
ERROR
+CME ERROR:<err>
Write Command: AT^SMONG=<table>[, <period>]
Response: ^SMONG: GPRS Monitor
Cell Info Table (see: AT^SMONG Cell Info Table below)
OK
ERROR
CME ERROR:<err>
Parameters:
<table> 1 Cell Info Table
<period> Display Period in Seconds
If <period> is omitted the cell data will be presented only once on a single line (as if Execute
command was issued).
If <period> is given, the cell data will be listed repeatedly on 10 data lines. Every 10
th
data line is
followed by the header, simply to repeat the column titles.
1...100
Notes:
• For compatibility with earlier products and to support legacy applications, often any input character will stop the
periodic output of the write command. But since this applies only in certain cases (depending on the settings of
AT+IPR), it is recommended to always use “at” or “AT”.
• This command is PIN protected.
• This command is not supported in airplane mode.
