1 Scope
This European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) specifies a profile of AT commands and
recommends that this profile be used for controlling Mobile Equipment (ME) functions and GSM network
services from a Terminal Equipment (TE) through Terminal Adaptor (TA). The command prefix +C is
reserved for Digital Cellular in ITU-T Recommendation V.25ter [14]. This ETS has also the syntax details
used to construct these extended GSM commands. Commands from ITU-T Recommendation V.25ter
[14] and existing digital cellular standards (TIA IS-99 [15] and TIA IS-135 [16]) are used whenever
applicable. Some of the new commands are defined in such way that they can be easily applied to ME of
networks other than GSM. ITU-T T.31 [11] and ITU-T T.32 [12] fax AT commands may be used for GSM
fax transmission from TE.
This ETS assumes an abstract architecture comprising of a TE (e.g. a computer) and a ME interfaced by
a TA (see figure 1). The span of control of the defined commands should allow to handle any physical
implementation that this abstract architecture may lead to:
- TA, ME and TE as three separate entities;
- TA integrated under the ME cover, and the TE implemented as a separate entity;
- TA integrated under the TE cover, and the ME implemented as a separate entity;
- TA and ME integrated under the TE cover as a single entity.
The commands described in this ETS may be observed on the link between the TE and the TA. However,
most of the commands retrieve information about the ME, not about the TA.

USER & APPLICATIONS NETWORK
Figure 1: Setup
Interface between TE and TA is intended to operate over existing serial (ITU-T Recommendation V.24)
cables, infrared link, and all link types with similar behaviour. For correct operation many of the defined
commands require eight bit data and therefore it is recommended that TE-TA link is set to eight bits/ byte
mode. (For infrared operation implementation refer informative references IrDA and TIA-617.) Interface
between TA and ME is dependent on the interface in the ME.

3.2 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS the following syntactical definitions apply (refer also clause 4):
Carriage return character, which value is specified with command S3.
Linefeed character, which value is specified with command S4.
<.> Name enclosed in angle brackets is a syntactical element. Brackets themselves
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 parameter type
commands, new value equals to its previous value. In action type commands,
action should be done on the basis of the recommended default setting of the
subparameter.
underline Underlined defined subparameter value is the recommended default setting of
this subparameter. In parameter type commands, this value should be used in
factory settings which are configured by V.25ter [14] command &F0. In action
type commands, this value should be used when subparameter is not given.

4 AT command syntax
This clause summarizes general aspects on AT commands and issues related to them. For further
information refer ITU-T Recommendation V.25ter [14].
4.1 Command line
See figure 2 for general structure of a command line. Standardized basic commands are found only in
V.25ter [14]. GSM commands use syntax rules of extended commands. Every extended command has a
test command (trailing =?) to test the existence of the command and to give information about the type of
its subparameters. Parameter type commands also have a read command (trailing ?) to check the current
values of subparameters. Action type commands do not store the values of any of their possible
subparameters, and therefore do not have a read command.

Figure 2: Basic structure of a command line
If verbose responses are enabled with command V1 and all commands in a command line has been
performed successfully, result code OK is sent from the TA to the TE. If numeric
responses are enabled with command V0, result code 0 is sent instead.
If verbose responses are enabled with command V1 and subparameter values of a command are not
accepted by the TA (or command itself is invalid, or command cannot be performed for some reason),
result code ERROR is sent to the TE and no subsequent commands in the command
line are processed. If numeric responses are enabled with command V0, result code 4 is sent
instead. ERROR (or 4) response may be replaced by +CME ERROR: (refer clause 9) when
command was not processed due to an error related to ME operation.
4.2 Information responses and result codes
The TA response for the example command line of figure 2 could be as shown in figure 3. Here, verbose
response format is enabled with command V1. If numeric format V0 would have been used,
headers of information responses would have been left out and final result code changed to 0.

So called intermediate result codes inform about progress of TA operation (e.g. connection establishment
CONNECT), and so called unsolicited result codes indicate occurrence of an event not directly associated
with issuance of a command from TE (e.g. ring indication RING).
