The table below summarizes the various operating modes of SIM7200 PCIe.
Table 4: Operating Mode
Mode Status Function
Normal
operati
on
Sleep
GSM/GPRS/
EDGE/WC
DMA /LTE
Module will automatically go into sleep mode if the conditions of sleep
mode are enabling and there is no
on air and no hardware interrupt (such
as USB wake-up operation or data on serial port).
In this case, the current consumption of module will be reduced
to the
minimal level.
In sleep mode, the module can still receive paging message and SMS.
Idle GSM/WCD
MA/LTE
Software is active. Module is registered to the GSM/WCDMA/LTE
network, and the module is ready to communicate.
Voice
Call
GSM/WCD
MA
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. In this case, the power
consumption depends on network settings such as DTX off/on,
FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.
Standby
EDGE/HSP
A+/LTE
Module is ready for EDGE/HSPA+ /LTE
data transfer, but no data is
currently sent or received. In this case, power consumption depends on
network settings and EDGE/HSPA+ /LTE configuration.
Data
transfer
EDGE/HSP
A+ /LTE
There is EDGE/HSPA+/LTE data transfer in progress
. In this case, power
consumption is related to
network settings (e.g. power control level);
uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g. used multi-slot
settings).
Minimum
functionality mode
AT command “AT+CFUN” can be used to set t
he module to a minimum functionality
mode without removing the power supply. In this mode, the RF part of the module will
not work or the USIM card will not be accessible, or both RF part and USIM card will be
closed, and the serial port is still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower
than normal mode.
