PSM Calculation Tool

Command generator and decoder for T3412, T3324, and AT+cpsms

PSM Value Decoder (TAU, act.time)

With our PSM Value Decoder, you can enter the display commands and/or the URCs in the field below, which can then be decoded into binary format. The outputs of display commands can be entered to get the binary values calculated into real-time in days, hours & seconds.

Example Commands

You can enter the output line of either AT+CPSMS? or AT+CEREG? or CEREG-URC in case CEREG=4 or CEREG=5. For example:

at+cereg=5
at+cereg?
+CEREG: 5,5,C2F6,031B7B65,9,,,00000001,10101110
at+cpsms?
+CPSMS: 1,,,10100111,00000001

AT+CPSMS CMD Generation

How to use this PSM calculator

The Soracom PSM calculation tool helps you to generate the correct AT-cmd syntax for the 3GPP specified at-cmd AT+CPSMS (according to 3GPP 24.008 and 27.007).

There are 2 values which can be adjusted:

  • T3412 - defining the periodic Tracking Are Update value
  • T3324 - setting the Active Time.

These values need to be entered in an 8-bit binary format where the first 3 bits represent the base multiplier of a 5 bit binary number.
