Response

The write command lets the ME store the entered password. This may be for example the SIM PIN1 to register to the GSM network, or the SIM PUK1 to re- place a disabled PIN with a new one, or the PH-SIM PIN if the client has taken precautions for preventing damage in the event of loss or theft etc. See above for the list of passwords.

OK

If error is related to ME functionality:

+CME ERROR: <err>

If no PIN request is pending (for example if PIN authentication has been done and the same PIN is entered again) ME responds +CME ERROR: operation not allowed. No action is required from your part.

Parameter

<pin> password (string type), usually SIM PIN1.

If the requested password was a PUK, such as SIM PUK1 or PH- SIM PUK or PH-FSIM PUK or another password, then <pin> must be followed by <newpin>.

<new pin> if the requested code was a PUK: specify a new password or re- store the former disabled password. See Chapter 4.35.1 for more information about when you may need to enter the PUK.

Note

•Caution: After entering a password with AT+CPIN all other commands that need access to data on the SIM card may be blocked for up to 20 seconds!

•Successful PIN authentication only confirms that the entered PIN was rec- ognized and correct. The output of the result code OK does not necessarily imply that the mobile is registered to the desired network.

Typical example: PIN was entered and accepted with OK, but the ME fails to register to the network. This may due to missing network coverage, de- nied network access with currently used SIM card, no valid roaming agree- ment between home network and currently available operators etc.

MC35 specifications

The Siemens MC35 is a compact and versatile modem designed primarily for mobile communication, data transmission, and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Launched in the early 2000s, it quickly became popular due to its blend of performance, reliability, and ease of integration, making it a solid choice for developers and businesses.

One of the key features of the MC35 is its support for GSM and GPRS technologies. This allows it to connect seamlessly to various networks, enabling users to transmit data at speeds that were impressive for its time. The GPRS capability can offer data rates of up to 171.2 kbps, allowing for efficient data transfer even in areas with limited connectivity.

The MC35 is designed to support both SMS and voice functionalities, making it adaptable for a range of applications. This includes remote monitoring, telemetry, and alarm signaling. The ability to send and receive SMS messages is a significant advantage for applications that require immediate alerts and notifications, enhancing its utility in security systems and industrial automation.

Furthermore, the modem is equipped with a range of interfaces, including serial communication (RS232), which makes it compatible with various hardware devices. This facilitates easy integration into existing systems, whether for industrial machinery or consumer electronics. Additionally, it features a robust software development kit (SDK), which enables developers to create custom applications tailored to their specific requirements.

Power consumption is another notable characteristic of the Siemens MC35. It is engineered to be energy-efficient, which is especially important for battery-operated devices or systems that require a prolonged operation without frequent recharging or maintenance.

In terms of physical characteristics, the MC35 is compact and lightweight, allowing it to fit into various enclosure designs without occupying much space. Its durability ensures it can perform reliably in different environments, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial applications.

To summarize, the Siemens MC35 stands out as a reliable modem with a rich feature set that includes GSM and GPRS support, SMS and voice capabilities, easy integration through various interface options, and energy-efficient operation. Its adaptability makes it a valuable tool for a wide array of communication and data transmission tasks, solidifying its place in the evolution of mobile communications technology.
