Establishing a Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) Connection
A Circuit-Switched Data Connection makes the wireless modem work like a regular analog modem. You must
have CSD service in order to make a CSD call.
Establish a Connection: Using HyperTerminal or a terminal application, you can establish a CSD
connection by entering the following command: ATD<phone number>
Notes:
The phone number you are calling is entered between the displayed
brackets. Do not type additional brackets. For example, type only ATD
8585551212. 8285551212 is typed between the brackets.
This command tells the modem to inform the wireless network that you are
initiating a CSD modem call. If you are dialing to another modem, the
remote modem should answer and a connection between the two modems
will be established. If you include a semi-colon (;) at the end of the dialing
string, the modem will instead initiate a Voice call to the phone number
dialed.
Disconnect: Type: +++
Wait about two seconds to see an OK response.
Then type: ATH
Note: +++ is the escape sequence and ATH is the Hang-up command.
Answering a Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) Connection
A Circuit-Switched Data Connection makes the wireless modem work like a regular analog modem. You must
have CSD service in order to answer a CSD call.
Establish A Connection: Using HyperTerminal or a terminal application, enter the following command:
AT+CICB=0 <cr> This sets the modem to answer in data mode.

Answer a Call: When you see the RING responses on the terminal screen, enter ATA <cr> to
answer the call.
