Default

Description

 

 

 

 

 

Transmit HDLC Data: The +FTH=<mod> command causes the modem to transmit

 

 

data framed in HDLC protocol using the modulation mode selected. <mod> may have

 

 

the values shown in Table 23 on page 65.

 

 

After receiving the +FTH command, the modem sends a ‘CONNECT’ result code to

 

 

the DTE. The modem then transmits signal converter training (if required) followed by

 

 

flags until the first byte of data is sent by the DTE. The modem terminates the +FTH

 

 

command upon detecting <DLE><ETX> characters in the data stream.

 

 

When the buffer is empty, the modem computes and appends the FCS (Frame Check

 

 

Sequence) and a closing flag to the frame. The modem ensures that the minimum

 

 

number of flags required by T.30 are sent before the data from the DTE begins to be

 

 

transmitted.

 

 

The modem checks the final frame bit in the control field of each frame; this is the fifth-

 

 

received bit of the second byte of each frame. If the final frame bit is a ‘1’, the modem

 

 

ceases transmission after the frame is sent, returns to command state, and sends the

+FTH=m

none

‘OK’ result code to the DTE. If the final frame bit is a ‘0’, the modem sends another

‘CONNECT’ result code to the DTE after the current frame is sent. The modem

 

 

continues to transmit flags until the DTE takes one of the following actions:

 

 

• The DTE sends additional data. The modem then transmits another frame.

 

 

• The DTE sends only <DLE><ETX> (a null frame). The modem then turns off the

 

 

transmit carrier and send the ‘OK’ result code to the DTE.

 

 

• If the DTE transmits no additional data within 5 seconds from when the modem

 

 

reported the ‘CONNECT’ result code, the modem turns off the transmit carrier

 

 

mode, returns to command mode, and sends the ‘ERROR’ result code to the DTE.

 

 

In HDLC transmit mode, the modem performs HDLC transparency functions, FCS

 

 

generation, and buffers the transmit data. The modem uses the configured method of

 

 

flow control to pause the DTE as necessary.

 

 

NOTE: If the modem is on-hook, it always returns an ‘ERROR’ message to the DTE

 

 

after receiving the +FTH=<mod> command.

 

 

Range: <mod> = 3

 

 

Refer to Table 23 on page 65.

 

 

 

 

 

Transmit Data: The +FTM = <mod> command causes the modem to transmit data

 

 

using the modulation selected in <mod>.

 

 

The modem returns a ‘CONNECT’ result code and transmits the proper training

 

 

sequence in the selected mode, followed by constant ‘1’ bits until data is received from

 

 

the DTE. The modem terminates this command upon detecting <DLE><ETX>

 

 

characters in the data stream.

 

 

If the modem’s transmit buffer empties and the last transmitted character is an ASCII

 

 

NULL (00), the modem continues to transmit NULLs until the DTE sends more data or

 

 

5 seconds have elapsed. After 5 seconds have elapsed with an empty transmit buffer,

+FTM=m

none

the DCE turns off the transmit carrier, returns to command state, and returns an

‘ERROR’ result code to the modem.

 

 

 

 

NOTE: Hex $00 replication does not provide the required timing needed for

 

 

generating the TCF frame (1.5 seconds of ‘0’s’).

 

 

If the modem’s transmit buffer empties and the last transmitted character was not a

 

 

NULL, the modem turns off the transmit carrier, returns to command state, and sends

 

 

the ‘OK’ result code to the DTE.

 

 

NOTE: If the modem is on-hook, the modem always returns an ‘ERROR’ message to

 

 

the DTE after receiving the +FTM = <mod> command.

 

 

Range: <mod> = 24, 48, 72, 73, 74, 96, 97, 98, 121, 122, 145, 146

 

 

Refer to Table 23 on page 65.

 

 

 

 

 

Stop Transmission and Pause: The +FTS=<TIME> command causes the modem to

+FTS=m

none

stop all transmissions. The modem waits for the specified amount of time, then sends

an ‘OK’ result code to the DTE. The value <TIME> is in 10 ms intervals.

 

 

 

 

Range: <TIME> = 0–255 (in 10 ms intervals)

 

 

 

NOTE: An asterisk (*) denotes the factory-default setting.
