ESP8266 – AT Command Reference

ESP8266, in it’s default configuration, boots up into the serial modem mode. In this mode you can communicate with it using a set of AT commands.  AT commands that ESP8266 supports, explain what they do and how to use them.

Historically AT commands are based on the Hayes Command Set and these are no different.

AT Commands

Index of all known AT commands

Basic WiFI layer TCPIP Layer
AT AT+CWMODE AT+CIPSTATUS
AT+RST AT+CWJAP AT+CIPSTART
AT+GMR AT+CWLAP AT+CIPSEND
AT+GSLP AT+CWQAP AT+CIPCLOSE
ATE AT+CWSAP AT+CIFSR
AT+CWLIF AT+CIPMUX
AT+CWDHCP AT+CIPSERVER
AT+CIPSTAMAC AT+CIPMODE
AT+CIPAPMAC AT+CIPSTO
AT+CIPSTA AT+CIUPDATE
AT+CIPAP +IPD

Line termination

ESP8266 expects <CR><LF> or CarriageReturn and LineFeed at the end of each command, but just<CR> seems to work too.

Command variants

Each command can have up to 4 variants changing the function of it. You can chose between them by appending one of four possible values to the end of the root command itself. These four appendices can have the following values "",=<parameter|[parameters]>,"?",=?

Type Example Description
Test AT+CIPSTART=? Query the range of values (So far only AT+CWMODE=? uses it)
Query AT+CMD? Returns the current value of the parameter.
Set AT+CMD=Parameter Set the value of user-defined parameters in commands and run.
Execute AT+CMD Runs commands with no user-defined parameters.
Note:
  • Not all AT commands support all 4 variants.
  • [] = default value, not required or may not appear.
  • String values require double quotation marks, for example: AT+CWSAP="ESP756190","21030826",1,4.
  • Baud rate = 115200
  • AT instruction ends with “\r\n”

Commands

How to Install Windows 11 Home With a Local Account – ExtremeTech

When you see the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen, hit Shift-F10, type “taskmgr” in the command prompt window, and kill the process called “Network connection flow.” According to the video, this will allow the OS to install normally after you insert a user login and password. You can also kill the application directly from the command line if you like, using the command “taskkill /F /IM oobenetworkconnectionflow.exe”

Plug in power adapter.

Plug in a phone to ‘Phone 1′ port of the SPA-2102.

Dial **** You should hear ‘Configuration Option Menu’.

Dial 73738# (RESET#) Press 1 to confirm the reset.

The SPA-2102 should now have been reset to factory default settings.

You may need to do the following to set up web management depending on which interface you are coming in on:

Dial **** into the phone connected to the ATA device. You should hear ‘Configuration Option Menu’.

Dial 7932 then press 1 to enable. Hang up when you hear option saved.
