4-2CHAPTER 4: DIALING, ANSWERING, AND HANGING UP

For your modem to

Command

 

 

Wait for an answer (with X3 or higher).

ATD@

Some online services answer the phone and return a

 

tape-recorded request for information before

 

processing transactions.

 

Use the AT@ command to tell the modem to detect at

 

least one ring, wait for five seconds of silence at the

 

other end of the call, and then continue.

 

To use the AT@ command, set the modem to X3, X4 or

 

X7.

 

If set X2 or lower, the modem will return an ERROR

 

message when it encounters the @ character. If set to

 

X5 or X6, the modem hangs up when it detects a voice

 

answer.

 

 

 

Return to Command mode after dialing.

ATD; (Semicolon)

 

 

Dial the letters that follow (in an alphabetical phone

ATD"

number).

 

 

 

If you are including another command after the phone number, use closing quotation marks before the additional command.

IMPORTANT: With the exception of the above Dial options, your modem will ignore any commands issued after the D in the same command string.

Call a device that can only originate calls. It forces the

ATDR

modem to dial out at the answer frequency or Reverse

 

frequencies. You can put the R either before or after

 

the number.

 

 

 

Display different sets of result codes. See Chapter 6,

ATX2D..... X7D

Controlling Result Code Displays and Appendix D,

 

Result Code Meanings and Sets.

 

 

 

Dial the last-dialed number. Use ATDL instead of using

ATDL

A/ if you wish to send the modem non-Dial commands

 

before dialing again.

 

 

 

Display the last-dialed number.

ATDSn

memory at position n, where n = 0*9. See Chapter 6,

 

Working with Memory, for instructions about saving

 

phone numbers to memory.

 

Digits 0 through 9, * and # are accepted.

 

 

 

Stop dialing or stop repeating.
