SERIES II INTELLIGENT DATA/FAX MODEMS

Asynchronous Word Length Selection $EB (336 Only)

The Series II Modem 336 (MD1641A) has an 11-bit capacity when operating asynchronously. The $EB command selects between 11-bit and 10-bit operation. AT$EB1 enables 11-bit format (1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit, and 1 stop bit). AT$EB0 (default) enables 10-bit format (1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, and 1 stop bit). $EB is functional in both command and on-line mode. $EB0 automatically detects parity when any AT command is issued.

AT$EB0 = Use 10-bit words

AT$EB1 = Use 11-bit words

The factory default setting is AT$EB0.

Parity Selection #P

The #P command enables the setting of parity. AT#P0 selects no parity. AT#P1 selects odd parity. AT#P2 selects even parity and is the default value. Note when setting up your data comm software, it is critical that both your remote and local system's parity selection be set identically.

AT#P0 = no parity

AT#P1 = odd parity

AT#P2 = even parity

The factory default setting is AT#P2.
