Registration Mode
Description:
This feature allows control of whether or not the modem will attempt to register upon initialization and to
control when it will attempt registration at other times.
When registration mode is set to automatic, the modem will begin attempting to become registered on the
CDPD network as soon as it is initialized. When registration mode is manual, the modem will wait until
commanded to register before making such attempts. The modem can be commanded to register directly
by executing the ATO command, or by entering one of PPP or SLIP data modes (AT\APPP or AT\ASLIP
respectively). The modem can be commanded to deregister if registered and to cease attempting to
register by executing the ATH3 command. It can also be commanded to deregister and cease attempts to
register by exiting PPP or SLIP mode IF it was not trying to register prior to entering that mode. That is, if
it started to register because it entered the data mode, it will stop trying to register when it leaves that
mode.
Format:
ATREGMD?
Queries the current setting of Registration Mode
ATREGMD=0
Sets automatic registration mode
ATREGMD=1
Sets manual registration mode
ATREGST?
Queries current registrations status:
0 = not currently attempting to register, 1 = currently
registered, or attempting to register
ATO
Begin attempting to register if not already doing so
ATH3
Deregister if registered and cease further attempts to
register.
Validity:
ATREGMD can only be changed in program mode and only has effect at modem initialization time. The
other commands are only effective in AT mode.
