Standard AT Commands Supported

The Serial Device Server recognizes a subset of the standard AT command set. The data channel must be in the command mode for commands to be recognized. The data channel will be in command mode upon power up or reset.

There are two operating modes for the unit when the AT command option is enabled. In command mode, data received from the serial port is passed to the AT command processor, and responses are returned to the serial port. No data is sent to any network application, and any data received from the network is ignored. In data mode, data from the serial port passes to the network application, and vice versa. This is equivalent to the normal serial port operating mode without the AT command option.

Table 5 describes the AT Commands. Table 6 details the Extended AT Commands that allow the configuration of the network server operating parameters. Any AT command received, except the listed commands, are acknowledged with OK status. This allows existing modem applications to transmit commands without causing an error. These include AT<X>n, but not currently AT&<X>n, AT%<X>n, AT\ <X>n, where <X> is a letter.

Parameter

Command

Description

 

Enter Command mode

<delay>+++<delay>

If the string +++ is seen in data mode, with no

 

 

 

characters sent for 1 second before or after, then

 

 

 

command mode is entered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Initiate Connection

ATD <destination>

Standard modem dialing command, redefined to

 

Command

 

initiate an internet connection to a remote computer.

 

 

 

Indicates the IP address of the target, and optionally the

 

 

 

TCP port number to use for connection. The T or P

 

 

 

option (ATDT or ATDP) can be present and has no effect.

 

 

 

If present, the IP address must be exactly 12 decimal

 

 

 

digits with 3 for each byte of the address.

 

 

 

 

 

If no IP address is given, then the ECable destination

 

 

 

address defined for the port is used.

 

 

 

 

 

If the destination TCP port is defined, it is separated

 

 

 

from the IP address by a '#' character, and is 1 to 5

 

 

 

decimal digits.

 

 

 

 

 

If TCP port is defined, the ECable destination port

 

 

 

defined for the serial port is used. If the destination

 

 

 

port is 0, the standard Telnet port (23) is used.

 

 

 

If the destination string ends with a semicolon, the

 

 

 

server remains in the command mode, not the data

 

 

 

mode, once a connection is made.

 

 

 

 

 

In command mode data is not passed from the

 

 

 

remote computer, so data could be lost if the unit

 

 

 

stays in command mode.

 

 

 

 

 

If the connection cannot be attempted, NO CARRIER

 

 

 

status is returned. If the connection attempt fails, NO

 

 

 

ANSWER status is returned.

 

 

 

 

 

If the connection succeeds, CONNECT status is

 

 

 

returned.
