2 General information

2.1

The target audiences for this document are all categories of software and hardware

developers, system integrators and expert end-users of SIEMENS GSM wireless modules.

The content applies in particular to current users and developers whose applications are

utilizing SIEMENS MC35 for their communications purposes.

The aim of this document is to provide information and offer support in order to facilitate the

transition towards a new generation of SIEMENS wireless modules, MC35i in this case.

Information provided here is based on official technical manuals and released specifications

for MC35 and MC35i. The naming conventions used in this document follow those of source

documentation.

The authors presume the readers are already familiar with the contents of those manuals.

The document presents migration issues in detail using comparison tables between the

modules and covers topics ranging from hardware specifications to AT-command interface.

Technical specifications and interfaces to GSM telecom services are described and

compared in detail as well as all the relevant features. AT-command interface was given

particular attention since it represents the main tool available to developers through which

applications can be controlled. Available commands for both MC35 and MC35i are listed and

classified according to their implementation within each of the modules. Differences in test,

query and execution syntax as well as in available parameters are noted for each command.

Commands are classified in three main groups: jointly supported commands, MC35i

commands that are new with respect to MC35 and MC35i commands not supported by

MC35.
