AirLink PinPoint EDGE/GPRS Manuel D’Utilisation

AT Commands: Low Power

The PinPoint will put itself into a low power using mode when configured events occur (page 30).  
Low Power mode is essentially a standby mode which uses minimal power while being ready to 
“come alive” quickly. 

DTRP=n

Set or query the DTR power control. 

n=0 : Ignore DTR for power control. 

n=1 : Enter low power mode when DTR is low. 

n=2 : Enter low power mode when DTR is high. 

See also PTMR. 

Number of minutes after one of the power down events (VTLG or DTRP) happens until the 
PinPoint enters the low power mode. 

n=0 - 255 minutes

If DTRP and VLTG are both 0 (zero), this setting does nothing. 

Note: There is always a minimum of 1 minute between power down event and actual shut-
down (to give the 

PinPoint

 time to prepare); entering zero will not power down the modem 

immediately, but after one minute.

In the first 5 minutes after PinPoint powers up, power down events are ignored to 
give the user time to change configurations.

Set or query the voltage level at which the PinPoint goes into low power mode. 

n=threshhold in tenths of volts 

Example: ATVLTG=130 would place the modem in a low power use, standby state if the 
voltage goes below 13.0V. 

n=0 :  Ignore voltage for power control.
