8. Operating the MP215 via AT

Commands

The MP215 can be programmed to operate in one of its four modes, configured
via Register WS181, as follows:

1) CDPD Mode (WS181=0).

This mode provides regular CDPD service

2) CS-CDPD (WS181=1)

This mode provides CS-CDPD service, i.e. CDPD protocol over a conventional
AMPS call.

3) CS-CDPD, No Answer (WS181=5)

This mode provides CS-CDPD service but does not answer incoming calls (auto-
answer disabled).

4) AUTO (WS181=3)

In this mode the MP215 automatically switches between CDPD and CS-CDPD
modes depending on CDPD service availability. If both services are available it
will choose CDPD. While in CS-CDPD mode, and idle, it will periodically check
if CDPD service is available.

The AT command to control operational modes operates as follows:

AT+WS181=
