OPERATING MODES
The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters.
Mode Function
Normal
operation
GSM/GPRS
S EEP
Modem
will automatically go into S EEP m
ode if DTR is set to high level
and there is no on air and no hardware interrupt (such as data on serial
port). In this case, the current consumption of GSM Modem will reduce to
the minimal evel.
In S EEP mode, the Modem can still receive paging message and SMS from
the system normally.
GSM IDLE
Software is active.
Modem
has registe
red to the GSM networ , and the
modem is ready to send and receive.
GSM TALK
Connection between two subscribers is in pr
ogress. In this case, the
power consumption depends on networ settings such as DTX off/on,
FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.
GPRS
STANDBY
Modem
is ready for GPRS data transfer, b
ut no data is currently sent or
received. In this case, power consumption depends on networ settings
and GPRS configuration.
GPRS DATA
There is GPRS data transfer (PPP or TCP or
UDP) in progress. In this
case,power consumption is related with networ settings (e.g. power
controllevel), uplin / downlin data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g.
used multi-slot settings).
POWER
DOWN
Normal shutdown by sending the “AT+CPOWD=1” command or using the PWRKEY. The
power management ASIC disconnects the power supply from the baseband part of the
GSM Modem. Software is not active. The serial port is not accessible. Operating voltage
remains applied to the internal circuitry
Minimum
functionality
mode
(withoutremove
power
supply)
Use the “AT+CFUN” command can set the modem to a minimum functionality mode
without remove the power supply. In this case, the RF part of the modem will not wor
or the SIM card will not be accessible, or both RF part and SIM card will be closed, and
the serial port is still accessible. The power consumption in this case is very low.

1.3 Turn Off GSM Modem Using AT Command
You can use the AT command “AT+CPOWD=1” to turn off the modem. This command lets the GSM Modem log off
from the network and allows the GSM Modem to enter into a secure state and save data before completely
disconnecting the power supply. Before the completion of the switching off procedure the GSM Modem will send
out result code:
“ NORMAL POWER DOWN”
After this moment, the AT commands can’t be executed. The GSM Modem enters the POWER DOWN mode, only
the RTC is still active. POWER DOWN can also be indicated by STATUS pin, which is a low level voltage in this
mode.
1.5 Power Saving
There are two methods for the GSM Modem to enter into low current consumption status. “AT+CFUN” is used to
set GSM Modem into minimum functionality mode and DTR hardware interface signal can be used to lead system
to be in S EEP mode (or slow clocking mode).
1.6 Minimum Functionality Mode
Minimum functionality mode reduces the functionality of the GSM Modem to a minimum and, thus, minimizes the
current consumption to the lowest level. This mode is set with the “AT+CFUN” command which provides the
choice of the functionality levels <fun>=0，1，4
• 0: minimum functionality;
• 1: full functionality (default);
• 4: disable phone both transmit and receive RF circuits;
If GSM MODEM has been set to minimum functionality by “AT+CFUN=0”, the RF function and SIM card function
will be closed. In this case, the serial port is still accessible, but all AT commands correlative with RF function or
SIM card function will not be accessible.
If GSM MODEM has been set by “AT+CFUN=4”, the RF function will be closed, the serial port is still active. In this
case all AT commands correlative with RF function will not be accessible.
After GSM MODEM has been set by “AT+CFUN=0” or “AT+CFUN=4”, it can return to full functionality by
“AT+CFUN=1”.
For detailed information about “AT+CFUN”, please refer to document [1].

1.7 Sleep Mode (Slow Cloc Mode)
We can control SIM900 GSM Modem to enter or exit the S EEP mode in customer applications through DTR signal.
When DTR is in high level and there is no on air and hardware interrupt (such as GPIO interrupt or data on serial
port), GSM MODEM will enter S EEP mode automatically. In this mode, GSM MODEM can still receive paging or
SMS from network but the serial port is not accessible.
Note: For GSM MODEM, it requests to set AT command “AT+CSC K=1” to enable the sleep mode; the default
value is 0, that can’t make the GSM Modem enter sleep mode. For more details please refer to our AT command
list.
1.8 Wa e Up GSM MODEM from SLEEP Mode
When GSM MODEM is in S EEP mode, the following methods can wake up the GSM Modem.
• Enable DTR pin to wake up GSM MODEM.
If DTR pin is pulled down to a low level，this signal will wake up GSM MODEM from power saving mode.
The serial port will be active after DTR changed to low level for about 50ms.
• Receiving a voice or data call from network to wake up GSM MODEM.
• Receiving a SMS from network to wake up GSM MODEM.

Receive data
The GSM module is designed as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional DCE-DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment) connection. The GSM Modem and the client (DTE) are connected through the following
signal (as following figure shows). Auto bauding supports baud rate from 1200bps to 57600bps.
Serial port
• TXD: Send data to the RXD signal line of the DTE
• RXD: Receive data from the TXD signal line of the DTE
serial port of the GSM engine supports auto bauding for the following baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200,38400 and 57600bps. Factory setting is auto bauding enabled. This gives you the flexibility to put the GSM
engine into operation no matter what baud rate your host application is configured to. To take advantage of auto
bauding mode, specific attention should be paid to the following requirements:
Synchronization between DTE and DCE:
When DCE powers on with the auto bauding enabled, user must first send “A” to synchronize the baud rate. It is
recommended to wait 2 to 3 seconds before sending “AT” character. After receiving the “OK” response, DTE and
DCE are correctly synchronized. The more information please refer to the AT command “AT+IPR”.
www.rhydolabz.com SIM900 GSM/GPRS RS232 Modem - User Manual
We bring the world to you…….. Pa e 9
Restrictions on autobauding operation
• The serial port has to be operated at 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit (factory setting).
• The Unsolicited Result Codes like "RDY", "+CFUN: 1" and "+CPIN: READY” are not indicated when you start
up the ME while autobauding is enabled. This is due to the fact that the new baud rate is not detected
unless DTE and DCE are correctly synchronized as described above.
Note: You can use AT+IPR=x to set a fixed baud rate and save the configuration to non-volatile flash memory.
After the configuration is saved as fixed baud rate, the Unsolicited Result Codes like "RDY" should be received
from the serial port all the time that the GSM MODEM is power on.
AT Command Syntax
When DCE powers on with the autobauding enabled, user must first send “A” to synchronize the baud rate. It is
recommended to wait 2 to 3 seconds before sending “AT” character. After receiving the “OK” response, DTE and
DCE are correctly synchronized The “AT” or “at” prefix must be set at the beginning of each Command. To
terminate a Command line enter <CR> , otherwise known as carriage return or \r.
Commands are followed by a response that includes <CR>< F><response><CR>< F>. Only the responses are
presented in the document here, <CR>< F> are omitted intentionally.
Example: With ocal Echo enabled:
Transmit: AT\r
Receive: AT\r\r\nOK\r\n
SETTINGS FOR EASY MICROCONTROLLER COMMUNICATION
When communicating with the GSM Modem using a microcontroller, you usually want very short responses, no
local echo, and no startup messages.
Sticking on the &W to the end of the command saves the setting into memory.
ATV0&W\r Enable short response
ATE0&W\r Disable ocal Echo
AT+CIURC=0;&W\r Disable “CA READY” Startup Message
Now instead of commands returning OK or ERROR in plain text, as well as repeating all written commands, the
GSM Modem will not echo what you transmit and the GSM Modem will return error codes in single bytes. For
example, instead of:
Transmit: AT\r
Receive: \r\nOK\r\n
