ATA Answer

This command enables you to answer an incoming call manually. On receiving an incoming call, the modem will send a RING message code to your computer. When you see the ring message:

•Type: ATA <E>

Your modem will send an answer tone to the calling (originating) modem and wait to receive a carrier signal in return.

The B command selects which communication standards your modem will attempt to connect to.

If a connection cannot be established with the originating modem within the time specified in S Register 7, your modem will hang up and return a NO CARRIER message before returning to the local command state.
