A

Asynchronous data communications

A method of communicating data in which each “character” (a 7- or 8-bit data word) is

sent or received separately at a selectable data transfer rate, and is framed by extra bits

preceding and following the character. Various error-checking methods use the total

bit-count to determine whether the character received at one end of the data path is the

same as the one sent at the other end. Also called asynchronous mode, this method, as

opposed to synchronous mode, does not use a clock signal to meter data. (Since the

8400B Plus Data Module operates only in asynchronous mode, s ynchrono us mode i s not

defined in this glossary.) See also data options.

AT command set

A de facto industry-standard set of commands used for configuration and operation of

DCE devices or modems. The AT (Attention) command set originated with Hayes

Microcomputer Products, Inc. The Lucent Te chnologies 8400B Plus Data Module uses a

subset of the full AT command set.

C

Command files

Files created for or by data communications s oftware running on a PC that can be used

to execute a sequence of commands to complete a task, such as performing an

automatic login to a specific remote device. Also called script files.

Command line

A string of one or more valid and compatible AT commands typed on one line with any

applicable arguments. Most command lines begin with the AT prefix and end with a

carriage return (issued by pressing ).

Command mode

An operating mode in which the 8400B Plus Data Module looks at all characters coming

from its associated terminal device and attempts to interpret them as commands. See

also on-line mode.
