1. Executive summary

This document describes the main changes of Nokia 6090 software version 5.30. New

2. New Features

Application builders wishing to understand the detailed changes in version 5.30 should
refer to the examples shown in the appendix of this document. An overview of the new
functionality provided by these changes given below:
AT+CMER is implemented
Mobile equipment indicator reporting via AT commands. It enables an external device
connected to the Nokia 6090 to "know" which buttons are pushed by the user and react
accordingly. For example, it can help make the Nokia 6090 handset control the external
device, making the need for an additional keypad redundant.
AT+CKEV & AT+CIEV unsolicited result codes are implemented.
This command makes it possible for an external device to "know" about events
happening to the phone and react accordingly (e.g. incoming call, alerts from network).
AT+CKPD is implemented
(supported values are listed in detail in the Nokia 6090 AT document) Keypad control via
AT commands.
This enables, for example, external devices connected to the Nokia 6090 to fully control
the Nokia 6090. Examples might be to switch off message alert tones or to change
ringing tones remotely. It therefore makes it possible to use an external device such as a
PDA or a fleet-management on-board unit as user interface instead of the Nokia 6090
handset as soon as the relevant applications exist.
AT+CIMI is implemented
Request international mobile subscriber identity via AT command. This makes it possible
for a connected device to "know" which SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) is being
used. Since a SIM can be matched with a user, the application can, for example,
allow/restrict/adapt access depending upon the user. Moreover, using a relevant
application, fleet headquarters can easily match vehicles with drivers.
