If the URCs are enabled or for the three described classes of URCs, the buffered URCs are sent out only when
the AT interface is in idle again; this occurs as soon as:
The data mode is released (the data call is disconnected)
The final result code for an AT command is issued
The DTE should wait some time (the recommended value is at least 20 ms) after the reception of an AT
command final result code or URC before issuing a new AT command to give the DCE the opportunity to
transmit the buffered URCs. Otherwise the collision of the URCs with the subsequent AT command is
still possible.
In case multiple AT interfaces are available, it should be advisable to use one of the different AT interfaces
to manage all the user enabled URCs, while use the others ones to send AT commands and receive their
responses.
Anyway URCs related to external causes (e.g. RING) are issued on all interfaces.
2.2.6Intermediate Result Code (IRC)
An intermediate result code is a string message (provided by the DCE) which provides to the DTE some
information about the processing status of the pending AT command.
