Parameter Description

<n>(num)(&W)(&V)

[0](&F)	Disable flow control
1	XON/XOFF software flow control
2	Only CTS by DCE (TA)
3	RTS/CTS hardware flow control
	Recommended for the following procedures: incoming or outgoing data calls,

fax calls, MUX mode.

Often, the initialization routine of Fax programs includes enabling RTS/CTS handshake, eliminating the need to issue AT\Q3 once again.

Notes

•When using XON/XOFF flow control (AT\Q1) in online mode, +++ should not be used while the data trans- mission is paused with XOFF. Before entering the command mode with +++ the paused transmission should be resumed using the XON character.

•For compatibility reasons, the AT\Q command can be used in Multiplex mode, though the settings will not take effect. However, be aware that whenever you use the AT\Q write command in Multiplex mode and then save the current configuration to the user profile with AT&W, the changed AT\Q setting will become active after restart.
