1.3 Conventions and abbreviations
In this document, the GSM engines are referred to as following term:
1) ME (Mobile Equipment);
2) MS (Mobile Station);
3) TA (Terminal Adapter);
4) DCE (Data Communication Equipment) or facsimile DCE (FAX modem, FAX board);
In application, controlling device controls the GSM engine by sending AT Command via its serial
interface. The controlling device at the other end of the serial line is referred to as following term:
1) TE (Terminal Equipment);
2) DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) or plainly "the application" which is running on an
embedded system;
1.4 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 that includes. "<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>"
Throughout this document, only the responses are presented, <CR><LF> are omitted
intentionally.
The AT Command set implemented by SIM900 is a combination of GSM07.05, GSM07.07 and
ITU-T recommendation V.25ter and the AT commands developed by SIMCom.
Note: A HEX string such as "00 49 49 49 49 FF FF FF FF" will be sent out through serial
port at the baud rate of 115200 immediately after SIM900 is powered on. The string shall be
ignored since it is used for synchronization with PC tool. Only enter AT Command through
serial port after SIM900 is powered on and Unsolicited Result Code "RDY" is received from
serial port. If auto-bauding is enabled, the Unsolicited Result Codes "RDY" and so on are
not indicated when you start up the ME, and the "AT" prefix, not "at" prefix must be set at
the beginning of each command line.
All these AT commands can be split into three categories syntactically: "basic", "S parameter",
and "extended". These are as follows:
1.4.1 Basic syntax
These AT commands have the format of "AT<x><n>", or "AT&<x><n>", where "<x>"is the
Command, and "<n>"is/are the argument(s) for that Command. An example of this is "ATE<n>",
which tells the DCE whether received characters should be echoed back to the DTE according to
the value of "<n>". "<n>" is optional and a default will be used if missing.
SIM900 AT Command Manual
SIM900_AT Command Manual_V1.03 13 12/24/2010
1.4.2 S Parameter syntax
These AT commands have the format of "ATS<n>=<m>", where "<n>" is the index of the S
register to set, and "<m>"is the value to assign to it. "<m>" is optional; if it is missing, then a
default value is assigned.
1.4.3 Extended Syntax
These commands can operate in several modes, as in the following table:
Table 1: Types of AT commands and responses
Test Command AT+ <x>=? The mobile equipment returns the list of parameters
and value ranges set with the corresponding Write
Command or by internal processes.
Read Command AT+ <x>? This command returns the currently set value of the
parameter or parameters.
Write Command AT+<x>=<…> This command sets the user-definable parameter
values.
Execution Command AT+ <x > The execution command reads non-variable
parameters affected by internal processes in the GSM
engine.
1.4.4 Combining AT commands on the same Command line
You can enter several AT commands on the same line. In this case, you do not need to type the
"AT" or "at" prefix before every command. Instead, you only need type "AT" or "at" the
beginning of the command line. Please note to use a semicolon as the command delimiter after an
extended command, for example: ATE1&W&F+ICF?; +CFUN?; &W.
The Command line buffer can accept a maximum of 556 characters. If the characters entered
exceeded this number then none of the Command will executed and TA will return "ERROR".
1.4.5 Entering successive AT commands on separate lines
When you need to enter a series of AT commands on separate lines, please Note that you need to
wait the final response (for example OK, CME error, CMS error) of last AT Command you entered
before you enter the next AT Command.
1.5 Supported character sets
The SIM900 AT Command interface defaults to the IRA character set. The SIM900 supports the
following character sets:
• GSM format
• UCS2
SIM900 AT Command Manual
SIM900_AT Command Manual_V1.03 14 12/24/2010
• HEX
• IRA
• PCCP
• PCDN
• 8859-1
The character set can be set and interrogated using the "AT+CSCS" Command (GSM 07.07).
The character set is defined in GSM specification 07.05.
The character set affects transmission and reception of SMS and SMS Cell Broadcast messages,
the entry and display of phone book entries text field and SIM Application Toolkit alpha strings.
1.6 Flow control
Flow control is very important for correct communication between the GSM engine and DTE. For
in the case such as a data or fax call, the sending device is transferring data faster than the
receiving side is ready to accept. When the receiving buffer reaches its capacity, the receiving
device should be capable to cause the sending device to pause until it catches up.
There are basically two approaches to achieve data flow control: software flow control and
hardware flow control. SIM900 support both two kinds of flow control.
In Multiplex mode, it is recommended to use the hardware flow control.
1.6.1 Software flow control (XON/XOFF flow control)
Software flow control sends different characters to stop (XOFF, decimal 19) and resume (XON,
decimal 17) data flow. It is quite useful in some applications that only use three wires on the serial
interface.
The default flow control approach of SIM900 is hardware flow control (RTS/CTS flow control), to
enable software flow control in the DTE interface and within GSM engine, type the following AT
Command:
AT+IFC=1, 1
This setting is stored volatile, for use after restart, AT+IFC=1, 1 should be stored to the user
profile with AT&W.
NOTE:
The AT commands listed in the table of AT&W chapter should be stored to user profile with
AT&W for use after restart. Most other AT commands in V.25, 07.05, 07.07, GPRS will store
parameters automatically and can be used after module restart.
Ensure that any communications software package (e.g. Hyper terminal) uses software flow
control.
NOTE:
Software Flow control should not be used for data calls where binary data will be transmitted or
SIM900 AT Command Manual
SIM900_AT Command Manual_V1.03 15 12/24/2010
received (e.g. TCP/IP) as the DTE interface may interpret binary data as flow control characters.
1.6.2 Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS flow control)
Hardware flow control achieves the data flow control by controlling the RTS/CTS line. When the
data transfer should be suspended, the CTS line is set inactive until the transfer from the receiving
buffer has completed. When the receiving buffer is ok to receive more data, CTS goes active once
again.
To achieve hardware flow control, ensure that the RTS/CTS lines are present on your application
platform.

Note
Factory setting is AT+IPR=0（auto-bauding）.
2.2.41.1 Auto-bauding
Synchronization between DTE and DCE ensure that DTE and DCE are correctly synchronized and
the baud rate used by the DTE is detected by the DCE (= ME). To allow the baud rate to be
synchronized, simply issue an "AT" string. This is necessary when you start up the module while
auto-bauding is enabled. It is recommended to wait 3 to 5 seconds before sending the first AT
character. Otherwise undefined characters might be returned.
If you want to use auto-bauding and auto-answer at the same time, you can easily enable the
DTE-DCE synchronization, when you activate auto-bauding first and then configure the
auto-answer mode.
Restrictions on auto-bauding operation
z The serial interface has to be operated at 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit (factory
setting).
z Only the strings "AT" or "At" (not "aT" or "at") can be detected when auto-bauding is
enabled.
z AT+IPR=0 setting to auto-bauding will take effect after module resets. If user wants to
change DTE baud rate during module is running, i.e. from 57600 to 4800, DTR shall be
used to urge auto-bauding progress. DTR shall be pulled up to invalid state at least 2
seconds by DTE and then pulled down to valid state. The step will urge auto-bauding
progress and DCE will synchronize its baud rate after it receives data from the serial port.
z Unsolicited Result Codes that may be issued before the ME detects the new baud rate (by
receiving the first AT Command string) will be sent at the previously detected baud rate.
z The Unsolicited Result Codes "RDY" and so on are not indicated when you start up the ME
while auto-bauding is enabled.
z It is not recommended to switch to auto-bauding from a baud rate that cannot be detected
by the auto-bauding mechanism (e.g. 300 baud). Responses to +IPR=0 and any commands
on the same line might be corrupted.
Auto-bauding and baud rate after restart
The most recently detected baud rate can not be stored when module is powered down.
