1.32. UMTS packet Domain commands
This clause defines commands that a TE may use to control a MT supporting packet switched 
services. Other aspects of a Packet Domain MT are described in 3GPP TS 27.060 [34]. 
It is anticipated that Packet Domain MTs will vary widely in functionality. At one extreme, a MT 
supporting CS/PS or class-A mode of operation might support multiple PDP types as well as 
circuit switched data, and use multiple external networks and QoS profiles. At the other extreme 
a MT supporting only PS or class-C mode of operation might support only a single PDP type 
using a single external network, and rely on the HLR to contain the PDP context definition. 
A comprehensive set of Packet Domain-specifc commands is defined in clause 10.1 to provide the 
flexibility needed by the more complex MT. The commands are designed to be expandable to 
accommodate new PDP types and interface protocols, merely by defining new values for many of 
the parameters. Multiple contexts may be activated if the interface link-layer protocol is able to 
support them. The commands use the extended information and error message capabilities 
described in this specification. 
For MTs of intermediate complexity, most commands have simplified forms where certain 
parameters may be omitted. 
For the simplest MTs, and for backwards compatibility with existing communications 
software, it is possible to control access to the Packet Domain using existing modem-
compatible commands. A special dial-string syntax is defined for use with the D command. 
This "modem compatible" mode of operation is described in subclause 10.2. 
A discussion on the interaction of the AT commands, Packet Domain Management and 
Packet Data Protocols, together with examples of command sequences for a number of 
applications may be found in 3GPP TS 27.060 [34].
