8.9 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 8.9.1, 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.
• 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).
