Chapter 12 – Phone Book Commands
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. CDMA Wireless AT Commands - PN S000294C 84
Write Phonebook Entry +CPBW
Description: This command writes a phonebook entry to location <index> in the current phonebook
selected with the +CPBS command.
If the “MT” phonebook is selected, <index> is in the range of the combined “ME” and “SM”
phonebooks. When using auto address mode (<index> not specified in the command), the
“ME” phonebook is accessed first for an available location. If a location is not available in the
“ME” phonebook, the “SM” phonebook is accessed.
The +WSPC command must be issued with a valid SPC code value before entries in the
“EN” phonebook can be changed.
Values: <index> Integer type value depending on the capacity of the currently selected phonebook.
<phoneNumber> Phone number is in ASCII format. Valid characters are 0-9 and *, #, -.
<TON/NPI> Type of address in integer form. The MSB of this will always be set high.
<text string>Any text string.
Note: PIN2 verification is required to do this command on the FDN. If the PIN2
authentication has been performed during the current session, the +CPBW command with
FDN is allowed.
