Command Modem Commands

Answer A

The Answer Mode forces the command modem into answer mode. Entering ATA when in the

Command mode will immediately bring the command modem off-hook, out of the command mode and into the On-Line Answer mode, and cause it to retransmit its carrier signal over the phone line. If no responding carrier tone is received within thirty seconds (or some other time as determined by S-Register S7), the command modem will cease transmitting its tone, hang up, and go back into Command mode.

Repeat

The Repeat Last Command command causes the command

Last

modem to repeat the last command that was executed. The last

Command

command will remain stored in the modem’s command buffer until the Attention command (AT) is

 

entered. Therefore AT must

A/

not be entered before an A/ command because the A/ will have no effect if an AT command

 

already cleared the previous command outof the command buffer.

Bell orTone B

The B command is used to select the frequency that the CCITT Answer command modem

 

uses for its answer tone. The answer tone is the tone transmitted by a command modem receiving

a call; this initiates the handshaking between the two command modems.At 2400 bps there is no conflict, because all command modems use CCITT frequencies. At the lower speeds (0-1200 bps), in the U.S., some modems use the Bell frequency of 2225 Hz. However, the CCITT specification for V.22 has an answer tone frequency of 2100 Hz. The ATB0 command enables CCITT V.22 (2100 Hz) frequency. The ATB1 command enables Bell 212A (2225 Hz) frequency. ATB1 is the factory default.

Dial DThe letter D in a command will cause the command modem to dial the telephone number immediately following it. For example, if you enter ATD5551212 and hit Return, the command modem will dial the number 555-1212. Valid dial characters are 0 through 9, A through D, # , and *. Dial modifiers are: , P R S=x T W ; @ and !. In pulse dialing, non- digit characters have no meaning. The Dial command can also be used in conjunction with a telephone set for manual dialing. You would dial the number on your telephone set, and after hearing the high-pitched answer tone on your handset, you would enter ATD on your keyboard and hit Return. You would then hang up the handset. Unless you have a specific need to dial in this manner, we recommend you use the first method, where the telephone number is entered on your keyboard.

Echo

If the command modem is connected to a full duplex terminal or

 

 

Command

computer, it will be necessary for the modem to be configured

 

 

Mode

to echo back characters entered while in the command mode in

 

 

Characters

order for them to be displayed. The E command is used to

 

 

 

configure the Command mode echo, with ATE0 disabling the

 

 

E0-1

echo and ATE1 enabling the echo.

 

 

 

 

If neither method is selected, the factory default will cause the

 

 

 

modem to echo the command characters.

 

 

Load

The Load Command Modem Factory Default &F Command

 

 

Command

resets the S-Registers and command modem commands to the
