Integer type value in the range stated above for the corresponding <indDescr>.
Notes specific to the EONS feature:
If the indicator is "eons", the

Priority of types associated to the operator names is defined as follows (the type listed first has the highest pri-
ority). If a type cannot be indicated the next one will be used.

Network Identity and Time Zone indication
This indicator shows the time relevant information elements of an MM Informa-
tion (MMI) or GMM Information (GMMI) message received from the network
(see GSM 24.008, ch. 9.2.15a and 9.4.19). The network usually sends a NITZ
indicator when the mobile attaches to the network, when it enters a location
area with different time zone or when a daylight change occurs.
A NITZ indicator may consist of the following parameters: Universal Time (UT),
local Time Zone (TZ), Daylight Saving Time (DST). All information elements of
MMI/GMMI are optional and therefore, the presentation of the parameters
<nitzUT>, <nitzTZ>,
network may send all three parameters UT, TZ, DST, or only UT and TZ or only
TZ.
UT is indicated in usual date/time format and represents the current world time
(GMT) at the moment when sent.
TZ is given as a positive (east) or negative (west) offset from UT in units of 15
minutes.
DST shows the number of hours added to the local TZ because of daylight sav-
ing time (summertime) adjustment. Usually DST is 1 hour but it can be also 2
hours in certain locations.
Example for time and time zone with DST:
+CIEV: nitz,"04/07/23,13:39:20",-28,1
In this example TZ is -28, showing a time offset of -7 hours (west) to Universal
Time/GMT (which never changes for DST). DST is 1 which indicates that one
hour was added to TZ because of Daylight Saving Time. If a network does not
send the DST parameter the TZ value would be -32 (8 hours west) as would
be done in winter:
+CIEV: nitz,"04/11/23,13:39:20",-32
Please be aware that despite the last NITZ value can be looked up again via
"AT^SIND=nitz,2" the returned values may be out of date. Especially the UT
value is obsolete because there is no internal NITZ clock and therefore no con-
tinuation of UT.
NITZ values are lost when the module detaches from network. Also when a
manual network selection fails and the module automatically falls back to the
previous network the NITZ values cannot be recalled. Nevertheless an indi-
cated time zone is valid until a new MMI/GMMI will trigger another NITZ indi-
cation.
