3 Operating Characteristics
3.1 Operating Modes
The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to throughout the
document.
Table 11: Overview of operating modes
Mode Function
Normal
operation
Data
transfer
GSM/(E)GPRS/LTE M1 NB1/2 data transfer in progress.
Idle Software and interfaces are active and ready to send and receive,
but no GSM/(E)GPRS/LTE M1 NB1/2 data transfer is currently in
progress.
SLEEP
1
1. For details on the module’s low power modes and their configuration, please refer to Section 3.3.
Low power mode when no call is in progress and there is no active communication
on any serial interface (ASC0, ASC1). During SLEEP mode, the module is in a low
power consumption state depending on paging cycles based on network defined
DRX values, and optionally network negotiated eDRX (extended DRX) as well as
3GPP PSM values. The firmware is active to a minimum extent, and preserves the
state it was in before entering the SLEEP mode. The module stays registered to
the network.
SLEEP mode option can be enabled/disabled by AT command (see [1]: AT^SCFG
parameter “MEopMode/PwrSave”).
SUSPEND
1
Low power mode when almost all components are switched off - except for the
internal RTC and interrupt triggered wake up mechanisms. The module keeps reg-
istered to the network. The module is in its lowest power consumption state. The
module can only be woken up by the ON or EMERG_RST signal, or it may wake
up and be reachable again after expiration of a 3GPP PSM (Power Saving Mode)
periodic TAU cycle (i.e., network timer) that may include DRX and/or eDRX paging
cycles for a certain inactivity period. The module wakes up with its signal states
being the same as for the first startup configuration, and does not preserve the sig-
nal states it had in before entering SUSPEND mode.
The SUSPEND mode option can be enabled/disabled by AT commands (see [1]:
AT^SCFG “MEopMode/PowerMgmt/Suspend”).
Airplane Restricted operating mode where the module’s radio part is shut down, causing the
module to log off from the GSM/(E)GPRS/LTE M1 NB1/2 network, and to disable
all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection. Airplane mode can
be controlled by AT command (see [1]: AT+CFUN).
POWER
DOWN
State after normal shutdown by sending the switch off command (see [1]:
AT^SMSO). Software is not active. Interfaces are not accessible. Operating volt-
age remains applied.
