Data Mode AT COMMANDS

In Data mode, the 56K chipsets can transmit up to 48,000 bps (V.92 mode) or 33,600 bps (V.90 mode) and receive up to 53,333 bps. Note that the chipsets are capable of achieving 56,000 bps, but power limitations by the FCC limit actual speeds to 53,333 bps. The 56K receive data rates can be achieved only in connections with equipment-compatible ISPs (Internet Service Providers). In V.92 mode, the 536EX supports three new features: Quick Connect, Modem-on-Hold and Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) Upstream.

The Quick Connect (QC) feature reduces the time it takes to make a connection to your service provider. The modem retains information of the line conditions from your previous connection and uses this information to bypass parts of the training sequence. As a result, this provides faster connections. Normal V.90 connections take about 25–30 seconds. With V.92 Quick Connect, your connect times can be up to 50% faster.

The V.92 Quick Connect feature is controlled by the +PSS and +PQC commands. The +PQC command enables and disables the shorten phase 1 and or phase 2 startup procedures. The +PSS command forces either a short or full startup procedure on the next and subsequent connections. To enable the modem for V.92 Quick Connect, set +PSS=0 or 1 and +PQC=0. Refer to Table 5 for the detailed description of these commands.

The Modem-on-Hold (MOH) feature allows you to receive an incoming voice call and stay connected to the Internet and then return online after your conversation without having to re-dial. This is very convenient where the same phone line is used for voice calls and data connections. To receive an incoming call as described above requires that you have the Call-Waiting service from your telephone company. In addition, the Caller ID service from your telephone company is recommended but not required for MOH. This feature allows you to determine who is calling. The “hold” time for your incoming call is define by your service provide. The MOH feature also allows you put you data connection on hold and initiate a voice call and then return online after completing your voice conversation. These two scenarios are described in detail in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
