Built-in Command Set

If you are not using a telecommunications program, you can use the fax/modem’s built-in command set. These commands are compatible with the Hayes® Smartmodem® series of modems.

Note

When you use a telecommunications software program like BitCom or WinFax LITE, it provides its own set of commands that control the fax/modem. You will normally use the program’s commands instead of the built-in set. See your software manuals for instructions. You need the following information only if you are not using a telecommunications program.

When to Issue Built-in Commands

Your fax/modem has two operating states: command state and on-line state. The fax/modem must be in command state to receive commands from you; in on-line state, your keystrokes are passed directly to the telephone line.

The fax/modem enters the command state when you:

Turn on your computer

Select the Reset command (ATZn)

Place a call but are unable to make a connection

Exit the on-line state using the escape sequence (+++).
