Modem functionality levels

nRF93M1 Datasheet

AT+CFUN provides coarse-grained host control of the modem, allowing the LTE radio and stack to be deactivated without fully powering down the module.

Table 5. Supported functionality levels
<fun> Behavior
0 Minimum functionality. RF TX off, LTE stack deactivated. The AT command interface and all non-radio runctionality remain available.
1 Full functionality. RF on, LTE stack active.
4 Flight mode. RF TX off. All non-radio functionality remains available.

The <rst> parameter controls whether the command triggers a reset: 0 no reset (default), 1 reset and restart with normal-mode +CFUN=1.

Initial state at power-on

The device boots at +CFUN=0 and does not attach automatically, giving the host full control of the attach sequence. The boot level is configurable through %MODEMCFG="CfunInit",<fun>,<max_delay>:.

  • <fun> = 0, 1, or 4 — initial functionality level.
  • <max_delay> = 0–65 535 s — delay between modem boot and protocol stack power-on.

By default, the device uses minimum functionality (<fun>=0) with a <max_delay> of 0 s.
