Chapter 4 – Voice Commands

Command

+VSM=<cml>,<vsr>,<scs>,<sel> Select Voice Compression Method

Values:

(see individual parameter descriptions)

Default:

(see individual parameter descriptions)

Result Codes:

OK if the modem accepts the command; ERROR if one or more of the following apply: 1)

 

the any parameter entered is out of range, or 2) any of the four parameters are missing

 

from the command string. If an error occurs, the modem retains the previous <sds> and

 

<sdi> parameter values.

Description:

The +VSM= command sets the modem to a specified voice compression method, silence

 

compression sensitivity, and voice sampling rate. The modem can maintain a different

 

event detection capability for each compression method. This command allows the PC to

 

set the amount of silence compression appropriate to a particular situation or application.

 

For example, you may want to record your welcome message with the lowest amount of

 

silence removal, with the goal of reducing distortion, meanwhile recording other

 

messages with a more assertive silence removal, to limit disk space used for recording

 

purposes.

 

The parameter meanings are described below.

 

<cml> is used by the PC to select a compression method. The valid range of values is

 

from 128–256. The range of values from 0–127 is reserved for future standards.

 

<vsr> is used to select the modem voice sampling rate from the set of those supported.

 

The unit of measure is samples per second. See the +VSM=? command for the list of

 

sampling rates supported by the modem.

 

<scs> has different meanings in voice transmit and voice receive modes. In receive, the

 

PC uses <scs> to select greater amounts of compression activity; larger <scs> values

 

mean that the PC wants the modem to treat noisier conditions as silence. There is no unit

 

of measure for this parameter; it merely represents a number in a range. 0 disables

 

modem silence compression.

 

In voice transmit mode, the PC signals the modem that the data stream was recorded

 

with silence compression by selecting a non-zero value from within the valid range (the

 

same value as receive). Unpredictable results can occur if you 1) enable silence

 

compression for transmitting a voice data stream that was not recorded with silence

 

compression enabled, or 2) you disable silence compression for transmitting a voice data

 

stream that was recorded with silence compression enabled. You can modify the silence

 

expansion with the <sel> parameter. The range of valid values is 0–255. The modem

 

may limit silence compression sensitivity to a narrower range (e.g., 120–128). A setting of

 

<scs>=0 disables silence compression.

 

<sel> is used to modify the amount of silence expansion. This parameter represents the

 

minimum amount of silence that the modem will expand a period of silence that was

 

previously deleted with a non-zero <sel> parameter. A setting of <sel>=0 means the

 

modem will not modify the silence expansion. The valid range of values is ____ - ____ in

 

0.1second increments. The modem ignores the <sel> parameter if the <scs> parameter

 

is 0 (silence compression disabled).
