Command Guidelines

 

      Each AT  command has  a list  of  possible parameters with  its  default  value.  The default value  (in bold type) is loaded at initialization, i.e.  power turn on or ATZ command. If a command requires a parameter but no  parameter is  entered,  the  modem assumes the  parameter  is  zero.  Invalid commands or parameters return  the  ERROR message.

 

      The command  line  may  contain  a  single command  or  a  series  of  commands.  The commands may  be separated  by a space for readability. The command line can be up to 40 characters  in length. The command line is executed  after a terminating character is  entered.   The   default   terminating character  is  a  carriage  return  (ASCII 013), but this may be changed by writing a different value to reg. S3.

 

      The command  line may  be edited using the backspace  character   (ASCII  008).  This value  may  be  programmed  using  the  S5 register. However,  the backspace will not work for values of 0 and greater than 127, or for   the   current   value   of   the terminating character. All  command  lines  must  begin  with  AT entered in  capital or lower case letters. A command  line can  be terminated  at any time by  issuing CTRL-X  (ASCII 018) after entering AT  attention code.  The  command line will  be ignored  and  an  OK  result message will be issued. The A/ command may be used  to repeat  the last command line. The A/  does  not  require  a  terminating character or the AT attention code.

 

      The escape code sequence returns the modem to the  command mode from the data mode. A time delay  must occur  between  the  last character  transmitted   and   the   first character of  the escape  code. The  guard time delay  can be  changed by  writing  a value to register S12; (default 1 second). The escape code character must occur three times in succession for an escape.

 

      Parameters that are entered for the AT and AT& commands  are limited  in value  to 0-255, where  the parameter  is "MOD"ed with 256.  The   result  must   be  within  the specified range;  if it  is not, the ERROR message is issued.

 

      Parameters entered  for an  S register are also "MOD"ed  with 256  and the  result is stored in  the S register. Parameters that are out  of range  are  stored  in  the  S register, however,  no  ERROR  message  is reported. Functionally, however, the lower or higher limit is observed. Parameters entered  for the  AT\  and  AT% commands follow  the same  method,  except that if the parameter is out of range, the upper limit is stored and no ERROR message is reported.

                                   ATCn   Carrier Control.

                                     Command options :

 

      ATC0 =**    Not permitted ; returns ERROR result code.

      ATC1 = Normal transmit carrier switching (preset).

 

                                               ATDn   Dial.

                                    The ATD parameters are :

 

      L  Dials the last dial string that was dialed.

 

      P  Use Pulse  Dialing.  Placed  at the  end   of  the command  string and before the                        dial string. Causes the modem to pulse dial the numbers.

 

      T  Use DTMF Dialing. Placed at the end of the command string and before the dial            string. Causes the modem to use DTMF tones to dial.

 

      R  Reverse Mode.  Allows the modem to call an originate only modem by  forcing the call into "answer mode". Must be entered as the  last character  of  the command string (just before the  <CR>).

 

      !   Hookflash. Causes  the modem to go on-hook for 700 milliseconds and then off-hook.

 

      @  Causes the  modem to listen for 5 seconds of silence. If a 5 second  silence                    has not been detected  within the period specified in S7 (default =  30 seconds),

         the modem disconnects and returns the "NO ANSWER" result code. If it                            detects a busy signal, it returns a "BUSY" result code. If the 5 seconds of                     silence is detected,then the modem continues dialing the string.

 

      W  Wait  For   Dial  Tone   Before Dialing.  Causes  the modem to wait for  a  dial                  tone up to the period of time specified in register 7 (default = 30 seconds)                                            before dialing the numbers that  follow. If the modem detects a dial tone                       before the given  time delay, it continues to  dial.  Otherwise, it goes  on-hook.

 

      ,   Pause  During Dial. Inserted between digits in a dial string. Causes the                        modem to pause for the value given by register S8 (default = 2 seconds),                        before dialing the next  digit. This   delay can be  used in place of the "Wait For       Dial Tone Before Dialing".

 

      ;  Return To  Command  Mode  After Dialing. Added to the end of the dial string.                 Causes the modem to remain in the command mode after it dials the digits                        preceding the command.This allows the user to issue additional dial    commands                 or dial strings without overflowing the command buffer. The modem      looks for                the carrier after the  final dial  command is issued."ATHn" aborts this command.

 

      ^ Turn On Calling Tone. Turns on the periodic 1300 Hz calling tone if  originating                the call. Calling tone  is enabled  only on  a call-by-call basis.

 

      S=n Dial Stored Number. Follows the dial command string. Causes the modem to        dial a telephone number previously stored in directory location n using AT&Zn                           command. If "ATD" is entered without parameters, the  modem goes  off-hook                      and waits for carrier; if the  handshake is not completed within the period of                  time specified by register S7(default = 30 seconds), the modem goes on on-              hook. The ATD  command will be aborted in progress upon receipt of any                          character  from the DTE before completion of the handshake.

                                     AT&Qn  Communication Mode.

                                     Command options :

 

      AT&Q0 =Selects asynchronous operation in the Direct mode. In this mode, the                       DTE speed must match the telco line speed.

 

       AT&Q1 = Selects synchronous mode 1 operation. Supports terminals that are                      able to communicate  in both asynchronous and synchronous  protocols.                                   Uses  the   dial command to  place a call in asynchronous mode then                             switches to synchronous mode once the connection is made. The                           modem goes on-hook and switches back to the asynchronous                                        mode when it detects an ON-to-OFF transition on DTR or a loss of carrier                        from the remote modem  exceeding the time interval given by register                    S10 (default = 1.4 seconds).

 

      AT&Q2 =   Selects synchronous mode 2 operation. Supports synchronous                            terminals  with stored number dialing. The modem automatically dials a                  stored  number when it detects an OFF-to-ON transition on DTR. An                               asynchronous  terminal   is still needed to save or change the phone                    number stored  in the NVRAM; the number is saved using the "AT&Z0=x"            command. The modem dials the number  stored in the first entry. The                     modem  goes on-hook and switches back to the asynchronous mode                          when  an ON-to-OFF transition on DTR is  detected or a loss of carrier                  occurs from the remote modem exceeding the time interval given by                               register S10 (default = 1.4 seconds).

 

      AT&Q3 = Selects synchronous mode 3 operation. This mode  allows DTR to act                      as  a Talk/Data switch. The operator manually initiates a  call with  DTR                       OFF, implying the modem is in Talk mode. To complete                                            the call, the operator switches the modem  to Data mode by turning DTR                  ON after the last number is dialed. The modem  goes on-hook and                                 switches to the asynchronous mode when an ON-to-OFF transition                                          on DTR is  detected or a loss of carrier occurs  from the remote modem                          exceeding the time interval given by register S10 (default = 1.4 seconds).

 

      AT&Q4 =This command causes the modem to issue OK result code but has no                         effect on operation.

 

      AT&Q5 =Selects error correction mode. Modem negotiates an error-correction                      link. The modem can be configured to either disconnect or fallback to a                                         normal asynchronous connection  if the link cannot be negotiated (refer                         to register S36).

 

      AT&Q5 and  S36=0 :  same as AT\N2 (no fallback).

 

      AT&Q5 and  S36=1 :  same as AT\N3 (fallback)  (see AT\N command).

 

      AT&Q6 =Selects asynchronous operation in Normal mode (Speed Buffering). In                      this mode, the DTE speed can differ from the telco line speed.

 

                               AT&Rn  RTS/CTS Option.

                                 Command options:

 

      AT&R0 =CTS tracks  RTS. CTS  is turned  ON   in  response to an OFF-to-ON                               transition of RTS from the local DTE after a delay period specified by                          register S26 in increments of 10 milliseconds (default = 0).

 

      AT&R1 =The modem ignores RTS; CTS is held ON.

 

                                   AT&Sn  Data Set Ready (DSR) Option.

                                   Command options :

 

      AT&S0 =DSR is always on.

      AT&S1 =DSR is turned ON at start of handshaking and OFF when in a test mode                     or idle state. DSR is turned OFF when carrier is lost.

 

                                 AT&Tn  Test and Diagnostic.

                                    Command options :

 

      AT&T0 =End test in progress. The escape sequence must be issued to return the                                           modem to the command mode prior to sending this command.                                Subsequent issuing of the ATO command  while in the command mode                        will cause the local and remote modems to return to normal data mode                                                    operation if the interrupted test was digital loopback.

 

      AT&T1 =Initiates local analog loopback. This test verifies the working condition                                of the path between the local DTE and the local modem. The characters                   received from the DTE are looped  back to the DTE by the modem.

 

      AT&T3 =Initiates remote digital loopback locally. The characters received from                  the remote modem are looped back to the remote modem by the local                       modem. This test verifies the working condition of the path from a remote               modem, through a local modem,  and back to the remote modem.

 

      AT&T4 =Allows the modem to respond to a request from a remote modem for a                       remote digital loopback test.

 

      AT&T5 =Prohibits the modem from granting a request from a remote modem for                      a remote digital loopback test.

 

      AT&T6 =Initiates remote digital loopback. The characters received from the local                        DTE are transmitted to the remote modem and looped back from the                                remote modem to the local modem and DTE. This test verifies the                                 working condition of the path between the local DTE and the remote                              modem.

 

      AT&T7 =Initiates remote digital loopback with self test. This test works similarly                      to AT&T6 except that the modem sends an alternating zeros and ones                      (0101) test pattern to the remote modem and continuously examines the                   validity of the  returned data. The modem increments an internal error                  counter each time an error is detected. At the end of the test, the modem                       returns a 3-digit error count to the DTE.

 

      AT&T8 =Initiates local analog loopback with self test. This test works similarly to                     AT&T7 except that the test pattern is checked in the local analog                                               loopback mode (as in AT&T1). This allows a  thorough testing of the local               modem transmit and receive functions without an actual telco line                                       connection.

       When a BREAK is received from the DTE during Normal or MNP mode, the modem takes the following action: AT\K0,2,4 = Modem enters the command mode (waiting for AT) without  sending a BREAK to the remote modem.

 

      AT\K1 =Modem clears  the terminal and modem buffers and sends a BREAK to                        the remote modem.

 

      AT\K3 =Modem does  not clear  the buffers but sends a BREAK to the remote                       modem.

 

      AT\K5 =Modem sends a BREAK to the remote modem in sequence with any                             transmitted data. When a BREAK is received from the remote modem                        during Normal mode, the modem takes the following action :

 

      AT\K0,1 = Modem clears the terminal and modem buffers and sends a BREAK to                      the local DTE.

      

      AT\K2,3 = Modem does not clear buffers  but sends a BREAK to the local DTE.

 

      AT\K4,5 = Modem sends a BREAK in sequence with any data being buffered.                                 When a BREAK is received from the DTE during Direct mode, the modem                     takes the  followig action :

 

      AT\K0,2,4 = Modem sends a BREAK to remote modem and enters command                              mode  (waiting for AT).

 

      AT\K1,3,5 = Modem sends a BREAK to remote modem.

 

      AT\Kn  Note: In LAPM, breaks are "timed", meaning the modem attempts to                                 preserve the duration of the break when transmitting it to the remote   mo                      dem. IN MNP4, breaks are not "timed", as MNP4 has no facility for                               maintaining the duration of the signal; a long break is the same as a short             break.

 

                  AT\Ln  MNP Block Transfer Control.

                     Command options:

 

      AT\L0 =Uses Stream mode for MNP link connections.

      AT\L1 =Uses Block mode for MNP link connections.

 

                  AT\Nn  Operation Mode Control.

                  Command options :

 

      AT\N0 =Selects Normal (speed buffering) mode.This option takes effect at                                physical connection time.

 

      AT\N1 =Selects Direct (pass through) mode.This option takes effect at physical                  connection time. If the parallel interface is selected  (SEREN = low), the                                      AT\N1 is interpreted as AT\N0 since  Direct mode is not available with the                      parallel interface.

 

      AT\N2 =Selects reliable link mode. This defines the modem-to-modem connection                                           to require error correction. If an attempt to establish the reliable link fails,                the modem disconnects. This command takes effect at physical                            connection time only. To establish MNP after a physical connection, use                         the  AT\O, AT\U, or AT\Y  command. AT\N3 =Selects  auto-reliable link                   mode. The modem will attempt an error-correction connection but will                                            fallback to normal mode if unable to establish an MNP link. This                                command takes effect at physical connection time only. To establish                     MNP  after a physical connection, use the AT\O, AT\U, or AT\Y command.

 

      AT\N4 =Force LAPM mode

 

      AT\N5 =Force MNP mode

      


                  AT%Cn  Compression Control.

                  Command options :

 

      AT%C0 = Disables data compression.

      AT%C1 = Enables data compression.

      AT%C2 = Enable V.42 bis data compression

      AT%C3 = Enable both V.42 bis and MNP 5 compression

 

                             AT%En  Enable/Disable Auto-Retrain.

                             Command options :

 

      AT%E0 = Disables auto-retrain.

      AT%E1 = Enables auto-retrain.

 

AT%L   Report Received Signal Level.

 

AT%Q    Report Line Signal Quality. Returns the  high-order byte of the calculated Eye          Quality Monitor (EQM) value. The high-order byte can range from 0 to 255.                       However,  when  the value is 8 or greater, the modem will automatically                                 retrain if enabled by the AT%E1 command. The value for a normal connection              ranges from about 0 to 2 and approaches 8 for a progressively poorer                    connection.

      Parameters : None.

      Default : None.

      Result codes : OK

 

AT%TT  PTT certification test signal

      

                        S REGISTERS

 

The S  registers affect  various operating characteristics, they let you obtain information about your modem, and let you test  your  modem. Each register has a default  value, which you can  read  or change to fit your particular requirements.

 

Table  3-1 shows the registers, their functions, and  their default values. Some registers can have their values changed by commands.

 

All of the factory default values may be loaded at any time by entering the AT&F command.

 

    Table 3-1. S Register Definitions Register  Function

 

S0   Number of  Rings till  Auto-Answer. Establishes the number of the rings required   before the modem answers the incoming calls. Setting this register to zero disables  auto-answer mode.

     Range : 0-255 rings.

     Default : 0.

 

S1   Ring Counter. Number of the rings which the modem detects before it answers a call. If no rings occur over an eight-second interval, this register is cleared.

       Range : 0-255 rings.

       Default : 0.

 

S2   Escape  Character. S2 holds the decimal value of the ASCII character used for the escape character. The default value corresponds to an ASCII'+'. A value over 127 disables the escape process, i.e. no escape character will be recognized.

       Range : 0-255, ASCII decimal.

       Default : 43.

 

S3   Carriage Return Character. Sets the command line and result code terminator character. Pertains to asynchronous operation only.

       Range : 0-127, ASCII decimal.

       Default : 13 (Carriage Return).

 

S4      Line Feed Character. Sets the character recognized as a line feed. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The Line Feed control character is output after the Carriage Return control character if verbose result codes are used.

       Range : 0-127, ASCII decimal.

       Default : 10 (Line Feed).

 

S5   Backspace   Character. Sets the character recognized as a backspace. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The modem will not recognize the Backspace  character if it is set to a value  that is  greater than  32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When the     echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local DTE the Backspace character, an ASCII space character and a second Backspace character; this means  a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem  processes the Backspace character.

       Range : 0-32, ASCII decimal.

       Default : 8 (Backspace).

 

S6   Wait Time for Blind  Dialing. Sets the length of time to pause after the modem goes  off-hook and before the modem dials the first digit of the telephone number. The modem                always pauses  for a minimum of 2 seconds even if the S6 register is set to a value less  than 2  seconds. The "Wait For Dial Tone" call progress feature (W in the dial string)        will override the value in  register S6. If option ATX2 or  ATX4 is in effect, this register is ignored.

     Range : 2-255 seconds.

     Default : 2.

 

S7   Wait for Carrier after Dial.

      Defines two delay times :

     1. During call  establishment, this register establishes the time that the local modem waits for carrier from the remote modem before hanging up.

     2. Sets the length of time that the  modem waits  when the "Wait For Dial Tone" call  progress feature (W in the dial string) is in effect.

       Range : 1-255 seconds.

       Default : 50.
