Behavior in Data Mode (+FCLASS=0):

When on-hook, if the line is in use and an ATDT is issued, the modem will not go off-hook and will return with the message LINE-IN-USE.

When off-hook and either an extension is picked up or a line reversal is detected, the modem will drop the connection. The disconnect reason in register S86=25 (also defined for #UD). The user must flash the hook in order to get a dial tone because the remote server will be retraining.

If local handset is picked up while modem is off-hook, modem will do a link-disconnect, flash the hook for 1.5 seconds, then connect local handset to the line. Now, the user dial tone is on the local handset. Disconnect reason S86=25.

Behavior in Voice Mode (+FCLASS=8):

When in voice mode and an extension is picked-up, a <DLE>P is sent to the DTE. When the modem is off-hook, a line reversal may also be detected in which case a <DLE>l is sent to the DTE.

In voice mode, there is no blocking of ATDT when the line is in use. Also, there is no automatic hang-up in voice mode as in data mode. There is only the above stated <DLE> shielding event reporting.

Operation in Data Mode: Line-In-Use (Enabled by AT-STE=1,AT-STE=3,AT-STE=5, or AT-STE=7)

Case 1: Telephone Line is in Use

If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is enabled and the telephone line is in use, the modem will immediately return the message LINE-IN-USE to the DTE without going off-hook, and then return to command mode.

Case 2: Telephone Line is in Use But Disconnected

If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is enabled and the telephone line is NOT in use, the modem will go off-hook after a short pause, then respond with CONNECT or NO CARRIER message.

Case 3: Telephone Line is Not Connected to Modem

If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is enabled and the telephone line is not connected, the modem will go off-hook momentarily, go back on- hook, then respond with NO DIAL TONE message.

Extension Pick-up (Enabled by AT-STE=2, AT-STE=3, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7):

Case 1: Modem off-hook, Local Handset Goes Off-Hook

If the local handset goes off-hook while the modem is in a data connection, the modem will then send a GSTN Clear down to the remote modem and then go on-hook. The modem will then send a NO CARRIER message to the DTE. A result code of 25 will be left in S86 register.
