Figure 2-1: AT Commands Protocol

The AT commands interface is basically a Modem Services Upon Request.

Communication (almost) always begins from the terminal side. This means that any service should be requested from the terminal. Thus a request is called a "command".

Each command must be answered by a "results code" from the G24-L. The results code reports the command status to the terminal.

Some commands may include several "Response" requests (between 0 to K) to send data back to the terminal.

Some commands may initiate a mode in which, when specified events are generated in the G24-L, "Indicator" messages are sent asynchronously. Indicators can be between 0 to L.

The G24-L can echo characters received from the terminal (commands) back to the terminal.
