19.2 AT+CALA Set alarm time
The
AT+CALA
write command can be used to set an alarm time in the ME or to clear a programmed alarm. When
the alarm time is reached and the alarm is executed the ME returns an Unsolicited Result Code (URC) and the
alarm time is reset to "00/01/01,00:00:00".
The alarm can adopt two functions, depending on whether or not you switch the GSM engine off after setting the
alarm:
• Reminder message: You can use the alarm function to generate reminder messages. For this purpose, set
the alarm as described below and do not switch off or power down the ME. When executed the message
comes as an Unsolicited Result Code which reads "
+CALA
".
• Airplane mode: The alarm function can be used to wake up the ME at a scheduled time. For this purpose, set
the alarm as described below. Then power down the ME by entering the
AT^SMSO
command. When the alarm
time is reached the ME enters the Airplane mode, notified to the user by the URC "
^SYSSTART AIRPLANE
MODE
" and, if available, by a user defined text message (specified with
<text>
). In Airplane mode, the RF
interface of the ME is shut down to prevent it from unintentionally logging into the GSM network. All AT com-
mands whose execution requires a radio connection are disabled. A list of AT commands supported during
Airplane mode can be found in Section 21.4 ,
Availability of AT Commands Depending on Oper-
ating Mode of ME
. To return from Airplane mode to Normal mode use the
AT^SCFG
command and set
the parameter
<map>
to "off". This immediately activates the RF interface and restores access to all AT com-
mands. The URC "
^SYSSTART
" notifies the user that the ME has returned to Normal mode. Please note that
setting an alarm with
AT+CALA
is one method to wake up into Airplane mode. The second approach is using
the
AT^SCFG
command, parameter
<mapos>
. For further detail on Airplane mode refer to Section 2.14 ,
AT^SCFG
.
The
AT+CALA
test command returns the supported array index values
<n>
, the supported alarm types
<type>
and the maximum length of the text
<tlength>
to be output.
The
AT+CALA
read command returns the current alarm settings in the ME.
