*1 In Siemens M20T case, these settings are not necessary because they are default
settings. If using other GSM Modem, maybe these settings are necessary.
b) Timing to initialize the modem during system startup
In the
α
2 series, there is a function to delay the transmission of the modem command
(AT command) to initialize the modem from the main unit at start up. The delay can
range from 0 - 10 seconds. This command can be useful to ensure the AT command is
correctly transmitted when the
α
2 series start up is faster than the modem start up.
Further information for the modem operation can be found in the
α
2 Programming
Manual and the
α
Software Manual.
