11. Protocol Specific Commands
11.1. Preliminary Comments
Sierra Wireless has developed a set of proprietary AT Commands to simplify data exchanges with
different protocols:
TCP
UDP
FTP
HTTP
HTTPS
11.2. IP Address Format in AT Commands
Unless specified elsewhere, the following format is used for IP address field in AT commands
described in this chapter when using the HL7518 or the HL7548:
IPv4 address: Consists of dot-separated decimal (0 – 255) parameters of the form
a1.a2.a3.a4
IPv6 address: Consists of colon-separated hexadecimal (0 – ffff) parameters of the form
a1:a2:a3:a4:a5:a6:a7:a8 with abbreviations
11.3. Session ID
Protocol specific AT commands share the same range of session IDs. A session ID <session_id> is a
unique number and ranges from 1 to 32.
11.4. Connection of PDP Contexts
A PDP connection will be started when a session becomes active (e.g. +KTCPCNX) and will only be
stopped if all sessions are closed or all sessions request to stop the connection. In case of session
errors, the PDP connection deactivation behavior can be configured by +KIPOPT with <option_id>=3.
The default setting after the module boot-up is that a PDP connection is requested to stop only when
a session is closed by an Internet AT command (e.g. +KTCPCLOSE).
11.5. Buffer Length of AT Commands
In AT command mode, the maximum length of an AT command is 1023 characters; any AT command
input longer than this limit will produce an error response. If the maximum length of a parameter is not
specified in this manual, it may vary but still bound by this limit.
In AT data mode, the terminal receive buffer size is limited to 32000 bytes; the terminal driver will stop
the receive flow at 16000 bytes if hardware handshaking is used.
