ETMINFO – displays AnyNet SMARTconnect™ and device information

Displays information about the current AnyNet SMARTconnect™ application and device.

Type	Syntax	Response
Test	AT+ETMINFO=?	Available information keys and OK
Read	AT+ETMINFO?	OK or ERROR
Write	AT+ETMINFO="<key>"	The requested value, +ETM ERROR:, or ERROR

Use these information keys:

• busy checks for background operations.
• ci returns the cell identity.
• iccid, imei, and imsi return SIM, device, and cellular subscriber identifiers.
• location returns device latitude and longitude.
• mcc and mnc return the mobile country and network codes.
• mqttpubmsg returns the number of stored MQTT messages.
• rssi returns the received signal strength.
• service returns the network registration status.
• statusflags returns the status flags.
• version returns the Eseye software version on the selected modem.
• gettime returns UTC time, and getlocaltime returns local time.

The modem obtains time from NITZ and NTP when available. The [operation] time_format configuration setting controls the returned time format.

For busy, 0000 means it is safe to power down. Any other hexadecimal value means background work is in progress. Do not power down with pwrkey.

For mqttpubmsg, the response lists messages in the non-volatile and volatile queues. For service, 0 means not registered and 1 means registered.

statusflags returns hexadecimal status flags:

• 0000 — No flag set.
• 0001 — MQTT RX.
• 0002 — MQTT RXov.
• 0004 — MQTT TXov.
• 0008 — Update success.
• 0010 — MQTT TX Refused.
• 0020 — MQTT TX Internal error.
• 0040 — MQTT TX OK.
• 0080 — Update fail.
• 0100 — Reboot required.

When multiple flags are set, the modem adds their values. For example, 000A indicates MQTT RXov (0002) and Update success (0008). See MQTT Rx Queue for flag meanings.

The module returns +ETM ERROR: for command-specific errors. It returns ERROR for an invalid command or missing parameter.

If location returns unknown, enable location in ETMCFG – read and write configuration file values. Also confirm that the modem can acquire a satellite lock.
