&CDn | Cleardown at Disconnect |
| n = 0 or 1 |
| Default: &CD0 |
| In the V.32, V.32bis, and V.34 protocols, a cleardown is sent by one of the modems to |
| signal the other modem that it is going to hang up. A cleardown is rate renegotiation in |
| which the modem that is hanging up tells the other modem that it has no speeds that it can |
| connect at. It is designed to help the remote modem detect a hangup. However, it does take |
| a second or two to send the cleardown. If you find this delay unacceptable, you can disable |
| cleardown by using the &CD command. |
| &CD0 enables cleardown at disconnect. |
| &CD1 disables cleardown at disconnect. |
>DTn | DTMF Detection |
| n = 0 or 1 |
| Default: >DT0 |
| Normally, when it goes |
| connection unless they are fax or modem handshake tones, in which case it responds in |
| kind. The >DT1 command causes the modem to report DTMF |
| calling tones to software for further processing. A typical use would be for a program that |
| routes calls to specific communications applications depending on the type of call or upon a |
| DTMF tone added to a dialing string. |
| >DT0 disables DTMF detection. |
| >DT1 enables DTMF detection when the modem goes |
#Fn | Fallback Modes |
| n = 0, 1, or 2 |
| Default: #F2 |
| The #F command controls whether the modem will fall back to a lower speed because of an |
| unacceptable error rate. If line conditions deteriorate, the modem has the ability to fall back |
| from its original speed to the next lower speed when operating in V.34, V.32terbo, V.32bis, |
| or V.32 mode. If the error rate becomes too great, the modem performs a retrain at the next |
| lower speed. If, after the retrain, the error rate is still too high, the modem performs a retrain |
| at the next lower speed, down to 4800 bps. |
| If the modem returns online at the original speed after the first retrain, the modem starts a |
| counter and a timer. If three retrains occur within a |
| to 4800 bps. |
| The fallback and |
| 21.6K, 19.2K, 16.8K, 14.4K, 12K, 9.6K, and 4.8K bps. |
| #F0 (or #F) disables fallback when online. |
| #F1 lets the modem fall back from the starting speed to a low speed of 4800 bps in 2400 |
| bps decrements. |
| #F2 lets the modem fall back when line conditions deteriorate, but also lets it fall forward in |
| 2400 bps increments if line conditions improve. |
