Protocols

Operating Mode \N

Select theV.42 bis mode to be used in data mode. An \Nn command issued during command mode while a connection is in progress will not affect the current connection but will be acted on for subsequent connections. LAPM or MNP protocol operation is referred to as MNP-only mode, and the auto-reliable modes allow protocol fallback.

During negotiation of protocol in auto-reliable mode, the answering modem switches from reliable to normal mode when receiving the auto-reliable fallback character from the calling modem and passes the character to the serial port.

Enter the %An command to set the auto-reliable fallback character (n=1-27 decimal representing an ASCII character).
