AT Commands

A

 

To access the Modem manually, use AT commands. AT commands can be sent to the Modem from a computer running a communications program.

Command Format

All commands must begin with the AT prefix, followed by the parameter, and end- ing by pressing the Enter key on the keyboard. All commands can be entered in either all upper– or all lower–case, but not upper– and lower–case mixed together. A command entered without any parameters automatically specifies the same com- mand with a parameter of “0.” The maximum length of a command is eight (8) characters. The Modem does not count the AT prefix, carriage returns, or spaces.

For example, entering the command

ATH

causes the modem to hang up.
