B-10APPENDIX B: ALPHABETIC COMMAND SUMMARY

Command

Function

 

 

&R2

Enable hardware flow control of received data.

 

 

The modem sends data to the computer only

 

 

upon receipt of the RTS signal.

 

 

&Sn

Send the computer a Data Set Ready (DSR) signal via the

 

EIA-232 interface. ("Data Set" is industry jargon for modem.)

 

&S0

DSR is always ON (override).

 

&S1

In Originate mode: Send DSR after dialing, on

 

 

detection of the remote device’s answer tone. In

 

 

Answer mode: Send DSR after sending an answer

 

 

tone.

 

&S2

When Carrier is lost, send a pulsed DSR signal

 

 

with Clear to Send (CTS) following Carrier Detect

 

 

(CD). This option is for specialized equipment such

 

 

as automatic callback units.

 

&S3

Same as &S2, but without the CTS signal.

 

&S4

Send the computer DSR at the same time as CD.

 

&S5

Send DSR normally, and follow CTS with CD.

 

 

&Tn

Test the modem.

 

&T0

End testing.

 

&T1

Enter Analog Loopback (AL) mode. Your modem

 

 

will send a CONNECT message. Data is shown on

 

 

your screen.

 

&T2

Enter AL mode and send a CONNECT message.

 

 

The Business Modem sends an internal test

 

 

pattern to the transmitter and loops the pattern

 

 

back to the receiver. No data is seen on your

 

 

screen.

 

&T3

Start local digital loopback testing.

 

&T4

Grant a remote digital loopback test of your

 

 

modem.

 

&T5

Deny a remote digital loopback test of your

 

 

modem.

 

&T6

Start remote digital loopback testing.

 

&T7

Start remote digital loopback with self-test and

 

 

error detection.

 

 

&Wn

Write the current settings to NVRAM.

 

 

&Yn

Break handling. This command lets you send a break to stop

 

data transfer without disconnecting.
