In the following the dedicated description of how to use the AT commands with the Telit GM862-
PCS module.
2.1 Definitions
The following syntactical definitions apply:
<CR> Carriage return character, is the command line and result code terminator character, which
value, in decimal ASCII between 0 and 255,is specified within parameter S3.
The default value is 13.
<LF> Linefeed character, is the character recognised as line feed character. Its value, in decimal
ASCII between 0 and 255, is specified within parameter S4. The default value is 10.
The line feed character is output after carriage return character if verbose result codes are used (V1
option used ) otherwise, if numeric format result codes are used (V0 option used) it will not appear
in the result codes.
<...> Name enclosed in angle brackets is a syntactical element. They do not appear in the
command line.
[...] Optional subparameter of a command or an optional part of TA information response
is enclosed in square brackets. Brackets themselves do not appear in the command line. When
subparameter is not given in AT commands which have a read command, new value equals to its
previous value. In AT commands which do not store the values of any of their subparameters, and
so have not a read command, which are called action type commands, action should be done on the
basis of the recommended default setting of the subparameter.

The AT is an ATTENTION command and is used as a prefix to other parameters in a string. The
AT command combined with other parameters can be set up in the communications package or
typed in manually as a command line instruction.
