Configuration and Operation

D is the dial command.

9 represents the access code required to dial a number outside your PBX domain.

The remainder of the line is the telephone number.

In the second line of this example, the 8400B Plus Data Module indicates that it detected a busy signal, and the call is automatically disconnected.

A Sample On-Line Session

This section outlines how to perform a simple on-line session using the AT commands described in this chapter. For more information about all AT commands, see Chapter 3 and Appendix A.

Starting the Session

The following is a sample data call to a fictitious bulletin board service. If you know the number of a “real” bulletin board service, you might try an actual log on by using that number and following the suggestions in this session.

AT D 9-555-7575 ENTER

CONNECT 1200

The D command is used to dial the number of the bulletin board. Since the connection was made successfully, the 8400B Plus Data Module responded with a message that says the remote end connected and the data speed to be used is 1200 bps. If this does not match the speed of your terminal or PC, you must adjust the speed of the terminal or PC to 1200 bps.

The remote end may do nothing until you press a particular key a few times, usually ENTER . Typical of many data communications application programs, this sometimes required input lets the remote end determine whether you have connected with the correct communications parameters in effect.
