Objectives of the TP

The objective of this practical work is to study the protocols of the three types of mobile
communication (GSM, GPRS and GPS) using a DGS -100 modulator.
This TP is based on the following experiences:
• DGS-100 Dials Cell Phone by AT Command.
• DGS-100 Answers Cell Phone by AT Command.
• DGS-100 Sends Message to Cell Phone by AT Command.
• DGS-100 Receives Cell Phone Message by AT Command.

Introduction

A subscriber's station, also known as a "mobile station" in GSM, is the gateway for network
access, serving as a versatile device functioning as a cordless phone and data terminal for message
transmission and reception. In Europe, the main standards are GSM and DCS, with DCS primarily
used by the Bouygues network, resembling GSM in principle. These standards operate at 850-900
MHz for GSM and 1800 MHz for DCS. The mobile station's primary functions are transmitting digital
data from various sources, including messages from portable computers, and encoding voice signals
into a digital format for transmission.
Manipulation
a) Description of the DGS 100
The DGS-100 is a module which has all the functionalities of mobile equipment. It is made up of:
• Power supply.
• A SIM reader.
• An interface with the PC through an RS232 cable.
• associated software.
• microphone and headphones.

 b) Switching on the DGS-100
First, it is necessary to check the wiring of the various parts (PC, modulator) then Inserting a
SIM card into the reader. After that we choose the operating mode by playing on the set of switches.
Next Turn on the power and turn on the module. Then It is ensured that the module is connected to
the PC through the user interface. Then we select the experience from the list. Finally, we follow the
steps of each experiment.

Experiment 1: DGS-100 Dials Cell Phone by AT Command

This experiment is to see understand how to make a call to a mobile using the DGS-100
module. To carry out this experiment we select the GSM mode by activating switches 5 and 6 the
others are deactivated. We check that the module is well connected. After selecting the “DGS-100
Dials Cell Phone by AT Command” experiment, you can change the destination number parameter.

Notes of Experiment 1
The mobile phone operation includes 4 steps:

• Step1 (AT+FCLASS?): This step sets the reading mode for commands
and configures the module in its default data transmission mode.
• Step2 (AT+FCLASS=8): In this step, the system needs to operate in track
transmission mode.
• Step3 (ATD<Tel_No>): The ATD command is used to initiate a dialing
action and validate the call in a telecommunications context.
• Step4 (ATH): The command "disconnect" is used for call control and
enables the termination of a phone call.

Experiment 2: DGS-100 Answers Cell Phone by AT Command

The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to receive a call using the DGS-
100 module. To do this, the GSM mode is selected by activating switches 5 and 6
while deactivating the others, as indicated in the "DGS-100Answers Cell Phone by
AT Command" experiment.

Notes of Experiment 2
To answer a call, there are two AT commands available:
• ATA: Used to establish the connection by accepting the call after receiving a "RING"
message, indicating that a person wishes to establish a connection.
• ATH: Used to end the connection at any time.

Experiment 3: DGS-100 Dials Cell Phone by AT Command

The experiment aims to demonstrate the process of making a mobile call using the DGS-100
module. To conduct this experiment, the GSM mode is selected by activating switches 5 and 6, while
other switches are turned off. It is essential to ensure that the module is correctly connected. After
selecting the specific experiment titled "DGS-100 Sends Message to Cell Phone by AT Command,"
you have the flexibility to modify the destination number parameter as needed.
This experiment is similar to the previous two president experiments, but it involves
transmitting SMS data instead of other types of data.

Figure 5 : the configuration of the 3rd experiment

Notes of Experiment 3
The operation of sending a message to a mobile is carried out in 4 steps:
• Step 1: The command "AT+CMGF?" is used to check the current configuration of the module.
The response indicates whether the module is in "Message Service" mode. If the response
includes "0" and "OK," it means the module is in default mode and not set up for message
services.
• Step 2: To enable message service mode with a text message that can contain up to 160
characters, the command "AT+CMGF=1" is issued.

 • Step 3: After configuring the module for message service mode, the command
"AT+CMGF=<da>" is used to transmit the message in text form to the network with the
destination address specified as "da."
• Step 4: To confirm and send the message, the user typically enters "Ctrl + Z."

Experiment 4: DGS-100 Receives Cell Phone Message by AT Command

The same configuration of the experience just presides over the loading of the application which
will be changed to “EXP2_4 DGS-100 Receives Cell Phone Message by AT Command”

Figure 6 : the configuration of the 3rd experiment

Notes of Experiment 4
In the context described, when the mobile device is in "listening" mode, it can use the
AT+CMGL command with a specified parameter, which is typically in text mode. This parameter
can be set to different values, including:
• "REC UNREAD" for new, unread messages.
• "REC READ" for messages that have been read.
• "STO UNSENT" to save messages that have not been sent.
• "STO SENT" to save messages that have already been sent.
• "ALL" to display all messages stored in the internal memory of the mobile device.

Conclusion
The process of making calls on a mobile device typically involves using AT control commands
like FCLASS, ATD, and ATH, especially in the context of GSM where data is transmitted in channel
format. Receiving calls is comparatively simpler, as it mainly requires the use of commands ATA
and ATH.
For sending messages, a special configuration is necessary, which involves adding message
services to ensure the transmission of text messages in a compatible format. On the other hand, when
it comes to receiving messages, the mobile device offers more complex functionality, including
commands related to storing, reading, and consulting messages.
