Chapter 5 – AT Commands, S-Registers, and Result Codes

Command:

\B

Transmit Break to Remote

Description:

 

In non-error correction mode, the modem will transmit a break signal to the

 

 

remote modem with a length in multiples of 100 ms according to parameter

 

 

specified. If a number in excess of 9 is entered, 9 is used. The command

 

 

works in conjunction with the \K command.

 

 

In error correction mode, the modem will signal a break through the active

 

 

error correction protocol, giving no indication of the length.

Defined Values:

 

1-9 Break length in 100 ms units. (Default = 3.)

 

 

(Non-error corrected mode only.)

Result Codes:

 

OK if connected in data modem mode.

 

 

NO CARRIER if not connected or connected in fax modem mode.

 

 

Note: When the modem receives a break from the remote modem, break is

 

 

passed to the DTE as follows: In non-error correction mode direct, the

 

 

break length is passed; in non-error correction mode normal and in error

 

 

correction mode, a 300 ms break is passed.

Command:

\K

Break Control

Description:

 

Controls the response of the modem to a break received from the DTE or

 

 

the remote modem or the \B command. The parameter value, if valid, is

 

 

written to S40 bits 3, 4, and 5.

Defined Values:

 

The response is different in three separate states.

 

 

The first state is where the modem receives a break from the DTE

 

 

when the modem is operating in data transfer mode:

 

 

0

Enter on-line command mode, no break sent to the remote modem.

 

 

1

Clear data buffers and send break to remote modem.

 

 

2 Same as 0.

 

 

3

Send break to remote modem immediately.

 

 

4 Same as 0.

 

 

5

Send break to remote modem in sequence with transmitted data.

 

 

 

(Default.)

 

 

The second case is where the modem is in the online Command State

 

 

(waiting for AT commands) during a data connection, and the \B is

 

 

received in order to send a break to the remote modem:

 

 

0

Clear data buffers and send break to remote modem.

 

 

1

Clear data buffers and send break to remote modem. (Same as 0.)

 

 

2

Send break to remote modem immediately.

 

 

3

Send break to remote modem immediately. (Same as 2.)

 

 

4

Send break to remote modem in sequence with data.

 

 

5

Send break to remote modem in sequence with data. (Same as 4.)

 

 

 

(Default.)

 

 

The third case is where a break is received from a remote modem

 

 

during a non-error-corrected connection:

 

 

0

Clears data buffers and sends break to the DTE.

 

 

1

Clears data buffers and sends break to the DTE. (Same as 0.)

 

 

2

Send a break immediately to DTE.

 

 

3

Send a break immediately to DTE. (Same as 2.)

 

 

4

Send a break in sequence with received data to DTE.

 

 

5

Send a break in sequence with received data to DTE. (Same as 4.)

 

 

 

(Default.)

Result Codes:

 

OK

 

 

Otherwise ERROR
