Page 10: At Commands And S-Registers
AT COMMANDS AND S-REGISTERS AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem's operation and software configuration. AT commands can only be entered while the modem is in command mode. The format for entering AT commands is: TYPE: ATXn where X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command. - Page 11 ATH0<Enter> (Hang modem connection) AT&K3<Enter> (Enable bi-directional CTS/RTS hardware flow control) Mostly the AT commands can also be entered in the same command line. For example, AT&K3H0<Enter> As shown above, it is not necessary to put spaces between the commands (there is no space between AT, &K3, and H0). The modem usually returns an response at the next line if it understands the command.
- Page 12 prevents the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The value of the escape sequence character may be changed using Register S2. Repeat Last Command This command repeats the last command string entered. S-registers S-registers generally affect how the AT commands perform. Contents of the registers can be displayed or modified when the modem is in command mode.
