What each command does ___________________________________
Many of the commands have several settings. For example the Communication Code has three possibilities. It can be set to Automatic code detect, Baudot code, or ASCII code. When you turn the modem on, the Communication Code is set to Automatic code detect. Each time you type the command, it changes to the next setting. It will change to Baudot code the first time.
