Page 21: Operational States
Operational States The modem has three operational states: • Command State • Online State • Online Command State When first powered on, the modem is in the Command State where it is able to accept AT commands. When instructed to dial out or to answer a data call, the phone is in the Online State. Activating your Modem 1. - Page 22 6. Confirm your registration on the cellular network with the AT+CSS? command. A reply of +CSS? 2,Z,99999 indicates the modem is not registered on the network. It may take up to 15 seconds after power-up to register on the network. Once registered, a typical response is +CSS?: 1,A,4152 where 1 is the band class, 1=800 MHz, 2=1900 MHz, A-F is the band (Z indicates the modem is not registered on the network), 4152 is the SID, i.e.
