Function
Normal Operation
GSM/GPRS
Sleep
After enabling sleep mode by
AT+QSCLK=1
, the module will
automatically enter into Sleep Mode if DTR is set to high level
and there is no interrupt (such as GPIO interrupt or data on
UART port). In this case, the current consumption of module
will reduce to the minimal level.
During Sleep Mode, the module can still receive paging
message and SMS from the system normally.
GSM IDLE
Software is active. The module has registered to the GSM
network, and the module is ready to send and receive GSM
data.
GSM TALK
GSM connection is ongoing. In this mode, the power
consumption is decided by the configuration of Power Control
Level (PCL), dynamic DTX control and the working RF band.
GPRS IDLE
The module is not registered to GPRS network. The module is
not reachable through GPRS channel.
GPRS
STANDBY
The module is registered to GPRS network, but no GPRS PDP
context is active. The SGSN knows the Routing Area where the
module is located at.
GPRS READY
The PDP context is active, but no data transfer is ongoing. The
module is ready to receive or send GPRS data. The SGSN
knows the cell where the module is located at.
GPRS DATA
There is GPRS data in transfer. In this mode, power
consumption is decided by the PCL, working RF band and
GPRS multi-slot configuration.
