Data Operation

Automatic Answering

The 8400B Plus Data Module can be set up to answer incoming data calls automatically. To initialize this option, type the command line:

ATS0=nnn ENTER

where nnn is a decimal number in the range of 1 through 255, representing the number of rings to wait before answering. If nnn is 0 (the factory-default setting), the automatic answer feature is turned off.

Remote Site Use

The 8400B Plus Data Module can be used at a remote site as a dedicated service device to answer incoming data calls, send data to a remote end device, and then hang up. For example, you may wish to provide access to a printer from a remote site.

The following is a typical command line you might use for setting up this operation (spaces are used here for readability, but are not required):

AT &F &C1 &D2 E0 Q1 S0=1 &W0 &Y0 ENTER

Following the AT prefix, the commands in the example produce the following results:

&F resets the options to the factory defaults.

&C1 sets the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) circuit of the 8400B Plus Data Module to operate according to the EIA standard.

&D2 sets the 8400B Plus Data Module to go on hook when an on-to-off transition is detected on the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) input, disconnecting the call.

E0 turns off the echo.
