Command

Default

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

MNP Block Size: This command specifies the maximum number of data bytes in an MNP data frame. A

 

 

smaller frame size may improve throughput on high-impairment (noisy) telephone lines.

 

 

Range: 0–3

 

\An

3

n = 0

Maximum 64 characters

 

 

n = 1

Maximum 128 characters

 

 

n = 2

Maximum 192 characters

 

 

n = 3*

Maximum 256 characters

 

 

 

 

 

Transmit Break: This command causes the modem to send a break (attention signal) to the remote for

\Bn

3

duration specified by ‘n’. ‘n’ is specified in 100 ms units. When n = 0, the default break length is used.

 

 

Range: 0–9

 

 

 

 

 

 

Set Auto-Reliable Buffer (requires a license from Microcom*): In auto-reliable mode (+ES=3,0,2), this

 

 

command determines the fallback method and enables data buffering. The settings for this command are

 

 

used by the modem during the V.42 detection phase.

 

 

Range: 0–2

 

\Cn

0

n = 0*

Does not buffer data.

 

 

n = 1

Reserved.

 

 

n = 2

Does not buffer data. Switches to buffer (normal) mode upon receipt of auto-reliable

 

 

 

fallback character and passes it to serial port. This feature allows non-V.42 modems to

 

 

 

connect immediately to a V.42 modem without data loss.

 

 

 

 

 

Set Modem Port Flow Control: In buffer (normal) mode (either +ES=1,0,1 or after fallback), this

 

 

command enables modem-to-modem flow control using XOFF (13h) to stop and XON (11h) to start

\Gn

0

transmission between modems.

n = 0, 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

n = 0*

Disables port flow control

 

 

n = 1

Sets port flow control to XON/XOFF

 

 

 

 

 

bps Rate Adjust Control: If this command is enabled, the serial port speed automatically changes to the

 

 

modem-connection speed. This forces the user to change the DTE-to-modem bps rate, if needed. If the

 

 

command is disabled, the serial port speed is independent of the connection speed, which allows much

\Jn

0

greater throughput when using error correction and data compression.

n = 0, 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

n = 0*

Turns off feature

 

 

n = 1

Turns on feature
