9 Chapter 2 HOW IT WORKS IN MODEM MODE Referring to the flow chart on the next page, the TX/RX and LAN indicators are used to indicate a specific stage of initialization, data connection, as well as firmware download. They are explained below (by number). 1) Initializing After powering on, the TX/RX and LAN indicators will flash by turns at the time interval of 0.25 seconds for about 30 seconds, indicating the cradle is in initialization process. 2) Initialization OK If initialization is done successfully, the LAN indicator will flash at the time interval of 1 second, waiting for AT commands. 3) Initialization NG If initialization fails, the TX/RX indicator will flash at the time interval of 0.5 seconds, indicating an error occurs. For example, it might fail to pass PIN authentication, the signal strength is weak for the GSM network, the Access Point name is incorrect, etc. For details on the specific initialization error, use “AT+ERR?” to get the error code. Although initialization fails, the cradle can still accept AT commands. In case of the “ATDT” command, it will re-initialize before dialing out. 4) Dialing out When in Dial mode (ATDT), the LAN indicator will flash at the time interval of 0.3 seconds for about 20 seconds. 5) Connected When in Dial mode (ATDT), the LAN indicator will be green after successfully establishing a connection. 6) Data Transmission When in Dial mode (ATDT), the TX/RX indicator will flash as long as data transmission occurs. 7) Download Ready/Downloading When in Download mode (AT+DOWNLOAD), the TX/RX and LAN indicators will flash to indicate the cradle is ready for downloading or downloading is in progress.

35 Appendix II AT Commands AT COMMAND SYNTAX The "AT" or "at" prefix must be set at the beginning of each command line. To terminate a command line, enter <CR>. Commands are usually followed by a response as "<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>".  Parameter […] Specify user-definable parameter values, which may be <text> or <number>.  (ERR_STR) If a connection fails, the response may include a string after the message “NO CARRIER”, providing further information on the connection error.  [ERR_CODE] If a connection fails, the response will always include a 6-digit hexadecimal number (always starting with “0x”). Refer to the Error Code table for more information. Note: If you are programming in BASIC language, the delimiter 0x0d (CR) is in use by default. Refer to COM_DELIMITER(). The escape sequence consists of three characters “+++”. Once a connection has been established, type the escape sequence to return to command state. When entering the next command after an escape sequence, always wait to receive “\r\nOK\r\n”. The escape sequence only works after dialing out and establishing the connection. Note: The escape sequence will break the connection. There are equal guard time before (leading) and after (trailing) the escape sequence command, as illustrated below. If the escape sequence is not followed by another command within 1 second (trailing guard time), the cradle will hang up immediately. Normally, the mobile computer will receive the message “OK” unless the line is abnormally busy. Note: The Guard Time is 1 second and cannot be changed.
