Airlink CDMA/1x manual PassThru Mode

Host Modes

For V=0 (Terse mode), a numeric result code is output with a single trailing <CR> (no <LF> is output), while any AT query response is followed by <CR><LF> (there is no preceding output).

For example, possible output to the AT command "AT<CR>" (assuming quiet mode is not on) is:

<CR> - if V=0 <CR><LF>OK<CR><LF> - if V=1

PassThru Mode

In PassThru mode, the Raven does not behave normally, all serial port communica- tion is passed directly between the internal hardware and the computer connected directly to the modem. This mode can be used to configure hardware-specific set- tings (e.g., for provisioning, etc.).

Issuing the "AT\APASSTHRU" enters this mode. The modem responds with OK, at which point a direct connection to the internal hardware is established.

Some internal hardware requires upwards of 20 seconds before AT commands can be entered, so be patient if there seems to be no response to AT commands.

Caution: PassThru can only be exited by resetting or power- cycling the modem. This mode cannot be entered via a Telnet session.

PassThru Mode allows only specific AT commands. Those commands which are used with ALEOS only will be unavailable. The commands usable also depend heavily on the modem model number (found on the label on the top of the modem).

Caution: ALEOS is disabled in PassThru Mode. You cannot use most ALEOS specific commands while the modem is in PassThru Mode.
