AT&C Controlling Data Carrier Detect

The &C command enables you to control how DCD will operate. DCD is a RS-232 interface signal from the modem to a remote device, such as a terminal or a computer, indicating that the modem is receiving a carrier signal from a remote modem. This signal is switched on (asserted) when your modem is receiving a valid carrier signal from a remote modem. The &C3 option allows a connection that was commenced as a voice call to switch to fax or data mode without an interruption to the DCD signal (which might cause the application to think that the line has been lost).

The &C command will only have effect when the DCD option switch is in the UP position and %T0 is selected. (Refer to the Dumb Mode Section for details.)

Options

AT&C0

DCD signal is always asserted

AT&C1

DCD signal responds to remote modem

AT&C2

DCD signal always on, pulses low on disconnect

AT&C3

DCD asserted during voice session

We recommend &C2 for UNIX computers which require DCD to be asserted when issuing commands to the modem.
