Data Communication and Host Modes

carriage return ‐ if V=0

carriage return and new line OK another carriage return and new line ‐ if V=1

Note: These commands work for the port on which they are executed. For example, if the user types ATE1 and then AT&W using a serial port connection, it will set the serial port to Echo On.

PassThru Mode

In PassThru mode, the PinPoint‐E does not behave normally, all port communication is passed directly between the internal hardware and the computer connected directly to the modem. This mode can be used to configure hardware‐specific settings. For example, provisioning, troubleshooting, communicating with legacy equipment, etc.

Caution: ALEOS is disabled in PassThru Mode. You cannot use most ALEOS specific commands while the modem is in PassThru Mode. While in PassThru mode, you also cannot use AceManager to connect with the PinPoint.

Issuing the “AT\APASSTHRU” from a terminal emulation enters this mode. The modem responds with OK, at which point a direct connection to the internal hardware is estab‐ lished. You can also configure the modem to enter PassThru mode on start up using MD.

Tip: PassThru can only be exited by resetting or power-cycling the modem. This mode cannot be entered via a remote Telnet session.

You can configure a string of AT commands to be sent to the PinPoint‐E when it enters PassThru and other PassThru settings.
