3 AT Commands

@Quiet Answer

Use the @ command to access a system that does not provide a dial tone. The @ command causes the modem to wait before processing the next character in the dialing string. The wait is for one or more rings back followed by five seconds of silence.

For example, ATDT5551212@6313550 causes the modem to dial the first number (555-1212), then wait

for the time specified in register S7 for at least one ringback and five seconds of silence. If the modem detects a busy signal, it hangs up and generates a BUSY result code. If it does not detect five seconds of silence, it hangs up and generates a NO ANSWER result code. If it does detect five seconds of silence, it dials the second number (631-3550).

Call Card Tone Detect

 

Use the $ command to dial services that require you to enter your call card number after a tone. A $

 

character in the dialing string causes the modem to pause and wait for an AT&T call card “bong” or a 1600

 

Hz tone (prevalent in the U.K.). When the modem detects the tone, it processes the rest of the dialing

 

string. If it does not detect a tone within the time set by register S7 (a 45-second default), the modem

 

aborts with a NO CARRIER message. Pressing any key also aborts the $ command.

 

In the following example, the $ command is placed between an access/phone number and the caller’s

 

credit card number:

 

ATDT1028806127853500$123456789

Phone Number Memory Commands

The modem can store up to two telephone numbers in nonvolatile memory. You can store the numbers with the DsNd command, dial them with the Nd command, link them so that one will be automatically dialed after the other with the NdNe command, or list them with the L command.

DsNd Store a Phone Number

s = phone number d = 0 or 1 Default: none

You can store a telephone number command string of up to 60 characters in the modem’s phone number memory. You can store two of these 60-character strings using the DsNd command. The memory locations are labeled N0 and N1.

Store a command line by typing it as you would any other command, appending the appropriate Nd memory location.

For example, the tone-dialed number 1-612-555-1212 is stored at memory location N0 by typing

ATDT16125551212N0 and pressing ENTER. The number is not dialed with this store command.

After storing a number, check to see that it has been stored correctly by typing ATL and pressing Enter.

When you store a phone number, you store the entire command string, so you can effectively create a macro for each number. For example, if you know a particular number needs to have extended result codes, detect busy or dial tone, error correction,XON/XOFFflowcontrol,pacing,anddatacompressionenabled, the command to store the entire command stringatlocationN0isATX4&E1&E5&E13&E15DT16125551212N0.
