Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands

Commands and Responses Overview

This chapter describes three kinds of commands and responses:

Action commands. Action commands initiate a sequence of events that do not execute instantaneously, and therefore change command mode to command execution mode. An action command must be the last command in a command string.

Responses. Responses are result code messages sent to the host by the modem.

Note: Older MultiModem II modems, those with model numbers MT2834xx and lower, respond with the parameter name as a prefix to the value of the parameter value when a parameter value or range of values is queried.

For example: AT+FCLASS=2

Response Returned: +FCLASS=2

OK

The command name as prefix can be omitted by setting the +FV option to zero (see Phase C Data Format Parameters). If the command name prefix is omitted, then the response returned would simply be 2.

Parameters. Parameter commands set operating conditions. Multiple parameter commands can be sent

in a command string; however, semicolons must separate them.

All action commands and responses are mandatory. Some parameter commands are mandatory, but others are optional. Mandatory values are specified for each command and parameter.
