Unsolicited Result Code Presentation
URC stands for Unsolicited Result Code and is a report message issued by the ME without being requested by
the TE, i.e. a URC is issued automatically when a certain event occurs. Hence, a URC is not issued as part of
the response related to an executed AT command.
Typical events leading to URCs are incoming calls ("RING"), waiting calls, received short messages, changes in
temperature, network registration etc.
A list of all URCs can be found in Section
Summary of Unsolicited Result Codes (URC)
.
To announce a pending URC transmission the ME will do the following:
• The ME activates its RING line (logic "1") for 1 second, i.e. the RING line changes to the physical "Low" level.
This allows the TE to stay in power saving mode until an ME related event requests service.
If several URCs occur coincidently or in quick succession each URC triggers the RING line independently,
although the line will not be deactivated between each URC. As a result, the RING line may stay low for more
than 1 second.
If an incoming call is answered within less than 1 second (with
or if autoanswering is set to
the RING line will be deactivated earlier.
The "
" URC will not activate the RING line.
• If the AT command interface is busy a "BREAK" will be sent immediately but the URC will not be issued until
the line is free. This may happen if the URC is pending in the following cases:
- During the processing of an AT command (i.e. the time after the TE echoes back the first character "A" of
an AT command just sent by itself until the ME responds with "OK" or "ERROR").
- During a data call.
Please note that AT command settings may be necessary to enable in-band signaling, e.g. refer to
.
It is strongly recommended to use the multiplex mode to map logical communication channels onto the serial line
of the AC75, for details refer to
. Doing so it is possible to use one channel to still
process URCs while having a data call active on another.
For most of these messages, the ME needs to be configured whether or not to send a URC. Depending on the
AT command, the URC presentation mode can be saved to the user defined profile (see
), or needs to be
activated every time you reboot the ME. Several URCs are not user definable, such as "
",
If autobauding is enabled (
=0), URCs generated after restart will be output with 115200 bps until the ME
has detected the current bit rate. The URCs "
", "^SYSSTART <text>", however, are not presented
at all. For details please refer to Section
. To avoid problems we recommend to configure a
fixed bit rate rather than using autobauding.
