Syntax Description

This section provides a brief description of the syntax used for the NTC-6000 series AT
command set. See the ITU-T recommendation V.250 for additional information.

DTE commands lines

In the descriptions that follow, words enclosed in angle brackets are references to
command elements or parameters, the brackets are not included in the command line.
Words enclosed in [square brackets] represent optional items; such items may be omitted
from the command line again the brackets are not included in the command line.
Other characters that appear in syntax descriptions shall appear in the places shown.
For clarity terminal responses are mentioned in terms of their alphabetic format; the actual
response issued will depend on the setting of parameters that affect response formats (e.g.
Q and V commands).

Command line general format

A command line is made up of three elements: the prefix, the body, and the termination
character.
The command line prefix consists of the characters "AT" or "at".
The body is made up of individual commands as specified later in this document.
Space characters are ignored and may be used freely for formatting purposes, unless
they are embedded in numeric or string constants.
The termination character may not appear in the body.
The terminal is capable of accepting 128 characters in the body.

Command line echo

The terminal may echo characters received from the host during command state and online
command state back to the host, depending on the setting of the
characters received from the host are echoed at the same rate, parity, and format as
received.
Characters not recognized as valid in the command line or of incomplete or improperly
formed command line prefixes are not echoed.

Types of DTE commands

There are two types of commands: action commands and parameter commands.
Action commands may be "executed" (to invoke a particular function of the terminal, which
generally involves more than the simple storage of a value for later use), or "tested" (to
determine whether or not the terminal implements the action command, and, if parameters
are associated with the action, the ranges of parameter values that are supported).
Parameter commands may be "set" (to store a value or values for later use), "read" (to
determine the current value or values stored), or "tested" (to determine whether or not the
equipment implements the parameter, and the ranges of values supported).
