String Type Parameters
A string, either enclosed between quotes or not, is considered to be a valid string type parameter
input. According to V25.ter space characters are ignored on the command line and may be used
freely for formatting purposes, unless they are embedded in numeric or quoted string constants;
therefore a string containing a space character has to be enclosed between quotes to be considered
a valid string type parameter (e.g. typing
AT
+COPS
=1,0,”A1”
is the same as typing
AT
+COPS
=1,0,A1
; typing
AT
+COPS
=1,0,”A BB”
is different from typing
AT
+COPS
=1,0,A
BB
).
A small set of commands requires always writing the input string parameters within quotes: this is
explicitly reported in the specific descriptions.
3.2.2.
Command Lines
A command line is made up of three elements: the
prefix
, the
body
and the
termination
character
.
The
command line prefix
consists of the characters “
AT
” or “
at
”, or, to repeat the execution of
the previous command line, the characters “
A/
” or “
a/
”.
The
termination character
may be selected by a user option (parameter S3), the default being
<CR>
.
The basic structures of the command line are:
ATCMD1<CR>
where
AT
is the command line prefix,
CMD1
is the body of a
basic
command
(nb: the name of the command never begins with the character “
+
”) and
<CR>
is the command line terminator character
ATCMD2=10<CR>
where 10 is a subparameter
AT+CMD1;+CMD2=, ,10<CR>
These are two examples of
extended commands
(nb:
the name of the command always begins with the character “
+
”
2
). They are delimited with
semicolon. In the second command the subparameter is omitted.
+CMD1?<CR>
This is a Read command for checking current subparameter values
+CMD1=?<CR>
This is a test command for checking possible subparameter values
These commands might be performed in a single command line as shown below:
ATCMD1 CMD2=10+CMD1;+CMD2=, ,10;+CMD1?;+CMD1=?<CR>
anyway it is always preferable to separate into different command lines the basic commands
and the extended commands; furthermore it is suggested to avoid placing several action

The set of proprietary AT commands differentiates from the standard one because the name of
each of them begins with either “@”, “#”, “$” or “*”. Proprietary AT commands follow the same
syntax rules as extended commands
