AT&L Leased Line

The &L command allows you to specify whether your modem will be connecting over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or leased lines (point-to-point connection).

When the leased-line mode is selected, if the carrier from the remote modem is lost, the modem will continuously attempt to re-establish a connection.

If you select leased line operation with the &L1 command, you must issue the ATA command to answer a call, and the ATD command to initiate a call.

If you use the &L2 or &L3 command to select Auto leased line operation, you do not need to issue the ATA or ATD commands; &L2 selects Originate mode automatically and &L3 selects Answer mode automatically. The modem’s TALK/DATA switch must be set to DATA and DTR must be raised to make the modem go off-hook and DTR lowered (or the TALK/DATA switch is set to TALK) to return to local command state.

If your modem has a TALK/DATA switch, it must be set to DATA when using &L2 or &L3.

See the section — Leased Line Operations — for a detailed explanation of the &L command and leased line operations.

UK Modems. Warning. Please ensure that the &L1, &L2 or &L3 command is issued prior to establishing a connection across leased line circuits.
