Table F-4. Commands beginning with asterisk (*) (cont.)

*P	Ping Remote Host
	Issues ICMP Echo Requests to a Remote Host and waits for a response. The wait time-out between pings
	and the packet size s defined by the values in S-Registers 70 and 71. Ping runs continuously until stopped
	by pressing the RETURN key or until 20 consecutive time-outs occur, at which time the ping ceases and a
	summary of ping statistics is displayed.
	The default packet size is 68 bytes. The data portion is 10 times the value in S-Register 71 (6); the header
	portion is fixed at 8 bytes. The default time-out between Pings is 10 seconds and is found in S-Register
	70. Both of these registers can be altered if desired.
	Format:
	AT*Pn	n = target IP address to ping. The form for this is n.n.n.n, for example,
		AT*P155.197.21.101
	AT*PS[n]	[n] = dial directory index (see AT&Z command). If [n] is not specified the
		address in slot 0 is used.
	AT*P	Use last address pinged. If none, an ERROR response is returned.
*R	Automatic SLIP Mode
	Enables the end-user to specify that the DART always enters SLIP mode following power on or modem
	reset. It is provided to enable Winsock applications to be able to rely on the modem always being in SLIP
	mode, particularly following a power off/on cycle.
	The end-user needs to be aware that the modem will not be in command mode following power on if this
	feature is active. If it is necessary to send AT commands to the modem at initial application startup, an
	escape function must be performed (see &E or &D commands) before the modem can respond to AT
	commands.
	Bit 6 of S-Register 57 (value of 64) indicates that auto slip mode is active. A modem that has acquired a
	CDPD channel (128), has Auto SLIP Mode Startup (64) active, and used the auto registration feature (32)
	to get registered (1) shows a value of 225 in S-Register 57.
	This command needs to be saved with the &W command to become a permanent setting. After setting
	and saving, the command does not become active until the modem is power cycled or reset with the
	AT-Rcommand.
	Format:
	AT*R0	Auto SLIP disabled (default)
	AT*R1	Auto SLIP enabled
	Result codes:
	OK	Command accepted
	ERROR	Invalid command
