3.3. Operating Modes
The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred in the following chapters.
Table 5: Overview of Operating Modes
Mode Details
Normal
Operation
Talk/Data
Network connection is ongoing. In this mode, the power consumption is
decided by network settingand data transfer rate.
Idle
Software is active. The module hasregistered onnetwork, and it is
ready to send and receive data.
Extended Idle
Mode DRX
(e-I-DRX)
BG96 module and the network may negotiate over non-access stratum signaling the
use of e-I-DRX for reducing power consumption, while being available for mobile
terminating data and/or network originated procedures within a certain delay dependent
on the DRX cycle value.
Airplane
Mode
AT+CFUN command or W_DISABLE# pin can set the module into airplane mode. In
this case, RF function will be invalid.
Minimum
Functionality
Mode
AT+CFUN command can set the module into a minimum functionality mode without
removing the power supply. In this case, both RF function and (U)SIM card will be
invalid.
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the current consumption of the module will be reduced to a lower level.
During this mode, the module can still receive paging message, SMS and TCP/UDP
data from the network normally.
Power Saving
Mode
(PSM)
BG96 module may enter into Power Saving Mode for reducing its
power consumption. PSM is similar to power-off, but the module
remains registered on the network and there is no need to
re-attach or re-establish PDN connections.
Power OFF
Mode
In this mode, the power management unit shuts down the power supply. Software is not
active. The serial interfacesare not accessible. Butoperating voltage (connected to
VBAT_RF and VBAT_BB) remains applied.
