in numeric mode. The command

numeric mode. Responses can be suppressed by setting the command
ATQn
to
ATQ1

Command entries with invalid syntax typically respond with ERROR. Command entries of valid
syntax with an out-of-range parameter can respond in one of three following manners:
Disallow out-of-range entry and respond with ERROR.
Disallow out-of-range entry and respond with OK.
Disallow out-of-range entry, accept the closest in-range value, and respond with OK.

EPORTING
If the A3LA-RM detects a hardware problem during initialization, it may be unable to function
correctly. The A3LA-RM notifies the DTE of this situation by issuing an unsolicited result code at
the end of initialization:
HARDWARE FAILURE: <subsys>,<error>
where <subsys> identifies the software subsystem that detected the error, and <error> is the
subsystem-specific error code. Any AT commands that cannot be handled in the failure
condition terminate with result code 4 (“ERROR”).
