8.29 AT^SPBG Read entry from active telephone book via sorted index

This command sorts the active phonebook records by name, in alphabetical order. Please note that the alphabetical order is assigned an index of its own which is not identical with the location num- bers used in the various phonebooks.

CAUTION: The AT^SBPG command is intended for reading only. For example, it helps you find en- tries starting with matching characters. However, do not use the listed index numbers to dial out or modify entries.

Test command

AT^SPBG=?

Execute command

AT^SPBG=

<index1>

[, <index2>]

Reference

Siemens

Example

Response

^SPBG: (list of used <index>s), <nlength>, <tlength>

OK/ERROR/+CME ERROR

Parameter

<index> Total number of entries stored in the active phonebook; displayed as a range of serial numbers (1 – n).

<nlength> Max. length of phone number

<tlength> Max. length of the text associated with the phone number

Response

^SPBG: <index1>, <number>, <type>, <text>[<CR><CL>

^SPBG: .....

^SPBG: <index2>, <number>, <type>, <text> ]

OK/ERROR/+CME ERROR Parameter

<index1> Serial number assigned to the position in the alphabetical list where reading of entries starts

<index2> Serial number assigned to the position in the alphabetical list where reading of entries ends

<number> Phone number

<type> Type of phone number

<text> Text associated with phone number

Note

The AT^SPBG feature is able to sort by the first 6 matching characters only. All the following characters will be ignored.

1.First, run the Test command to find out the range of phonebook entries stored in the active phonebook:

AT^SPBG=?

TA returns the number of entries in the format: ^SPBG: (1-33),20,17 where 33 is the total number of entries.

2.Now, run the Execute command to display the phonebook entries by alpha- betical order. It is recommended to enter the full range to obtain best results.

AT^SPBG=1,33 TA returns phonebook entries by alphabetical order:

^SPBG: 1,"+999999",145,"Arthur"

^SPBG: 2,"+777777",145,"Bill"

^SPBG: 3,"+888888",145,"Charlie" .........

The numbers at the beginning of each line are not the memory locations in the phonebook, but only serial numbers assigned to the alphabetical list.

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.
