+MCI (Motorola Cell Information)
command returns ARFCN, BSIC and
RX level of serving and adjacent
cells. In case G24 is registered,
adjacent cells are from registered
PLMN. In case G24 is in Emergency
Mode, adjacent cells are physical
neighbors. BSIC is displayed only in
case SCH (Synchronization Channel)
is decoded.
The parameter <enable_TA>
determines whether <TA> will be
reported by +MCI command. <TA> is
defined for serving cell only. This
value will be displayed only in
Dedicated mode.
The command output is <Filter>
dependent. In case the command
output should be filtered to include
just cells of a specific GSM band (one
or more) the filter parameter should
be set accordingly,
see Table 3-124. The filtering will
apply to the neighbor's cells only - the
serving cell info will always be
returned.
Using the set command without a
parameter will return output
according to the currently set <Filter>
value.
