The GSM Trainer ST2133 is a modem or mobile equipment for transmission of voice and data calls

as well as SMS (Short Message Service) in GSM Network.

To control the GSM modem there is an advanced set of AT commands according to GSM ETSI
(European Telecommunications Standards Institute) 07.07 and 07.05 implemented. The GSM standard
has established itself across continents.
Getting Started
1. GSM antenna and coaxial cable (30cm): Operating Frequency: 900/1800 MHz. Your modem is
actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency
energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls both the
radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
2. RS-232 Serial cable for interfacing to PC.
3. Handsfree kit is all the time connected with serial cable.
4. Adaptor supplied is the only power source for trainer & must be connected trainer is in use.
5. SIM is must for AT commands related to SIM & making calls.
6. LED continuous on - Modem on but not registered to the network. LED flashing slowly –Idle
mode LED flashing rapidly – Tx/Rx mode LED off – Modem off
7. When command “AT “is sent to the GSM Trainer, it every time responses / acknowledges by
“ok”, can be used to detect connection.
8. AT+SPEAKER=1, must be the state to use Handsfree kit/ headphones.
9. Use AT&W, to save the present state/status of any command such as speaker, which returns to
default each time powered on.

Command line
Commands always start with AT (which means AT Attention) and finish with a <CR> character.
Information responses and result codes
• If command syntax is correct but transmitted with wrong parameters, the +CME ERROR: <Err>
or +CMS ERROR: <SmsErr> strings is returned with adequate error codes if CMEE was
previously set to 1. By default, CMEE is set to 0, and the error message is only ERROR.
• If the command line has been executed successfully, an OK string is returned. In some cases, such
as “AT+CPIN?” or (unsolicited) incoming events, the product does not return the OK string as a
response
General Behaviors
SIM Insertion, SIM Removal
SIM card Insertion and Removal procedures are supported. There is software functions relying on
positive reading of the hardware SIM detect pin. This pin state (open/closed) is permanently monitored.
When the SIM detect pin indicates that a card is present in the SIM connector, the product tries to set
up a logical SIM session. The logical SIM session will be set up or not depending on whether the
detected card is a SIM Card or not. The AT+CPIN? Command delivers the following responses:
• If the SIM detect pin indicates absent, the response to AT+CPIN? is +CME ERROR 10 (SIM not
inserted).
• If the SIM detect pin indicates present, and the inserted card is a SIM card, the response to
AT+CPIN? is +CPIN: xxx depending on SIM PIN state.
• If the SIM detect pin indicates present, and the inserted card is not a SIM card, the response to
AT+CPIN? is +CME ERROR 10 .
• These last two states are not provided immediately due to background initialization. Between the
hardware SIM detect pin indicating present and the final results, the AT+CPIN? sends +CME
ERROR: 515 (Please wait, init in progress). +WIND: 14 /* SIM Removed & its indication */
When the SIM detect pin indicates card absence, and if a SIM Card was previously, an IMSI detach
procedure is performed, all user data is removed from the product (Phonebooks, SMS etc.). The product
then switches to emergency mode.
Background initialization
The reading of phonebooks will then be refused by +CME ERROR: 515 or +CMS ERROR: 515
meaning, please wait, service is not available yet, in progress.
This type of answer may be sent by the product at several points:
• When trying to execute another AT command before the previous one is completed (before
response),
• When switching from ADN to FDN (or FDN to ADN) and trying to read the relevant phonebook
immediately,
• When asking for +CPIN? Status immediately after SIM insertion and before the product has
determined if the inserted card is a valid SIM card.

and desired pin is required for this command to apply pin to a SIM)
• AT+CPIN? (If result is READY, means no pin is applied. If result is SIM PIN, pin is applied.
If result is SIM PUK, means puk code is required by SIM)

3 Serial Link Control Commands
3.1 ATE (DCE Echo Characters)
The setting of this parameter determines whether or not the DCE echoes characters received from the
DTE during command state and online command state.
• ATE

Command Command Example

ATE<N> ATE0 or ATE1
• <value>:
• 0 DCE does not echo characters during command state and online command state. (input
commands do not appear in window)
• 1 DCE echoes characters during command state and online command state.
3.2 ATQ (DCE to DTE Transmission)
The setting of this parameter determines whether or not the DCE transmits result codes to the DTE.
When result codes are being suppressed, no portion of any intermediate, final, or unsolicited result
code – header, result text, line terminator, or trailer – is transmitted. Information text transmitted in
response to commands is not affected by the setting of this parameter.

• ATQ

Command Command Example

ATQ<N> ATQ0 or ATQ1
• <value>:
• 0 DCE transmits result codes. (Output of command shows up)
• 1 Result codes are suppressed and not transmitted.
3.3 ATV (Numeric/Alphabetic Responses)
The setting of this parameter determines the contents of the header and trailer transmitted with result
codes and information responses. It also determines whether result codes are transmitted in a numeric
form or an alphabetic (or "verbose") form. The text portion of information responses is not affected by
this setting.

• ATV

Command Command Example

ATV<N> ATV0 or ATV1
• <N>
• 0 DCE transmits limited headers and trailers and numeric text.
• 1 DCE transmits full headers and trailers and verbose response text. ("OK", "ERROR",
"CONNECT", etc.)

4 Call Control Commands

4.1 ATD (Dial Command)
The ATD command is used to set a voice, data or fax call. As per GSM 02.30, the dial command also
controls supplementary services.
For a data or a fax call, the application sends the following ASCII string to the product (the bearer
must be previously selected with the +CBST command e.g. AT+CBST=0,0,1)
• ATD<nb> where <nb> is the destination phone number. e.g. ATD0511234567
For a voice call, the application sends the following ASCII string to the product: (the bearer may be
selected previously, if not a default bearer is used)
• ATD<nb>; where <nb> is the destination phone number. e.g. ATD03001234567;
Please note that for an international number, the local international prefix does not need to be set
(usually 00) but does need to be replaced by the ‘+’ character.
The response to the ATD command is one of the following:

Result Description code

OK If the call succeeds, for voice call only
CONNECT If the call succeeds, for data calls only
BUSY If the called party is already in communication
NO ANSWER If no hang up is detected after a fixed network time-out
NO CARRIER Call setup failed or remote user release
4.2 ATDL (Redial)
Command is used to redial the last dialed number
• ATDL
Remarks: Command uses the same type of connection (voice or data) as the last dialed connection.
4.3 ATH (Hang-up Command)
The ATH command is used by the application to disconnect the remote user. In the case of multiple
calls, all calls are released (active, on-hold and waiting calls).
• ATH<n> e.g. ATH0 or ATH1

<n>
0 : disconnection (default value) of all incoming calls
1 : outgoing call disconnection
The response to the ATH command is one of the following:

Command Possible responses

ATH OK
ATH0 OK
ATH1 OK
4.4 ATA (Answer A Call Command)
When the product receives a call, it sets the RingInd signal and sends the ASCII RING or +CRING:
<type> string to the application (+CRING if the cellular result code +CRC is enabled). Then it waits
for the application to accept the call with the ATA command.
• ATA

Command Possible responses

ATA OK
4.5 AT+SPEAKER (Speaker Control)
Command is used to s witch between the internal speaker and microphone lines.
• AT+SPEAKER=<n>
Command Command Example
AT+SPEAKER=<N> AT+SPEAKER=1
• <n>
• 0 Speaker 1 and Microphone 1 are active.
• 1 Speaker 2 and Microphone 2 are active.
Remarks: The trainer has got no internal Speaker 1 and Microphone 1 audio lines, so
AT+SPEAKER=0 turns the Audio section off.
Note: AT+SPEAKER=1 must be the state to use headphones.
4.6 AT+VGR (Speaker Attenuation Control)
Command is used to set the attenuation of the modules loudspeaker.
• AT+VGR=<n>

Command Command Example

AT+VGR=<N> AT+VGR=1
• <n> Integer, range 0...255, where 128 is nominal gain.
