> 8.10 | AT^MONI Monitor idle mode and dedicated mode

> The AT^MONI command supplies information of the serving/dedicated cell. There are two ways to retrieve the information: once on request by using the execute command or automatically every <period> seconds by using the write command. To stop the periodic presentation type "AT" or "at".

> Notes

> • | The two header lines (see Section 8.10.1, AT^MONI responses) are output after every ten data lines.

> • | The length of following output lines exceeds 80 characters. Therefore a terminal program may draw a carriage return on a screen. However, this is not part of the response.

> • | If the ME is Java controlled, periodic retrieval of cell information using the write command AT^MONI=<period> is not supported. If periodic cell information is required simply repeat the execute commands at regular intervals.

> • | The parameters LAC and cell are presented as hexadecimal digits, the remaining parameters are composed of decimal digits.

> • | If the radio cell changes during a connection, the parameters PWR, RXLev and C1 of the 'Serving Cell' part cannot be updated under certain conditions.

> • | If the BS supports frequency hopping during a connection, the dedicated channel (parameter chann) is not stable. This mode is indicated by chann = 'h'.

> • | To some extent, the cell monitoring command AT^SMONC covers the same parameters. The receiving level, for example, can be queried with both commands. Yet the resulting values may be slightly different, even though obtained over a time period of a few seconds. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about, as the cell information is permanently updated.

> • | For compatibility with earlier products and to support legacy applications, any input character may be used to stop the output in certain cases (depending on the settings of AT+IPR and AT+CMUX).
