OK
If there is any error:
ERROR
Write Command
Query/set the URC format of
TCP/IP buffer access mode. If this
command is set, when the module
receives data from a remote server,
the data length will be added to the
URC.

OK
If there is any error:
ERROR
Write Command
When module accesses to IPv4
address of a TCP/UDP server
under IPv6 network, the module will
translate IPv4 address to
IPv4-embedded IPv6 address
using the network-specific prefixes
or the well-known prefix.
