AT Command timeout

Posted: 09-22-2003, 01:30 PM
Hi all,

In the software manual of my GSM module, I read that the time-out for
commands such as:
"AT+COPS", "AT+CLIP", "AT+CLIR" is 180 seconds

Is it normal?
Are there any faster modules?


TIA
Guy

Are we talking about a timeout for delivery of unsolicited result
codes? Three minutes is a very long time for any other
interpretation of "command time-out". Do you mean something
else?

The only immediate sense I can make of the notion is that perhaps
the unsolicited result codes will be buffered for a certain
maximum time if the interface is in data transfer mode, and not
in command mode.

If this is your concern, and you want to read those codes while
you've got a data circuit going, you could periodically escape to
command mode using the "+++" mechanism before returning to data
transfer mode with "ATO".

But this interpretation of your question doesn't fit well with
your asking about "faster modules".

In my experience, very few commands take more than a second or
two to complete.

Commands which take a lot longer include "AT+COPS=?" (which scans
for available networks), and especially the rarely implemented
"AT+CBAN" (which allows you to specify which GSM band you want
the device restricted to).

Hi John
Thank you for the reply.
I was asking about the chance that the "OK" response might appear only after
180 seconds (this is documented)
