Argent Terminal Adaptor - User Guide
4 V.24 SERIAL PORT ‘AT’ COMMANDS
4.1Introduction
The Argent Terminal Adaptor (ATA) is an ISDN device with powerful features for interconnection. While the primary purpose of Argent is the delivery of transactions to centralised hosts, the ATA extends the functionality of the ISDN line to carry this service.
‘AT’ commands refer to a set of instructions, which can be sent to the ATA to control local features. The POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) port and V.24 (RS232) serial port can be controlled with a simple set of ‘Attention’ (AT) commands.
