Multiplexer User's Guide Confidential / Released s m o b i l e Mux_guide_v06 Page 6 of 36 30.06.2004 1 Introduction Siemens GSM engines support the basic option of the multiplexer according to the ETSI TS 101 369, GSM 07.10 Multiplexer Protocol. This allows a mobile to run a triple session over a serial link interface.

Multiplexer User's Guide Confidential / Released s m o b i l e Mux_guide_v06 Page 13 of 36 30.06.2004 3.1.5 Timing conditions Switching on the multiplexer with AT+CMUX=0 causes a 5s timer to start. If the multiplexer control channel is not established within this time, the module returns to “normal AT command mode” without multiplexer.
