Using the Modem
• AT commands. You can control many aspects of modem operation using modem AT
commands. AT commands are special strings of characters sent to the modem to set
up specific conditions. Those command strings normally start with "AT". For a list of
AT commands for the built-in modem, see "Modem Reference Information" on
page 141.
Open Phone and Modem Options in Control Panel. On the Modems tab, click
Properties. You can type AT commands on the Advanced tab in the space for extra
settings.
For example, to force a built-in Ambit modem to turn off its speaker, you can use the M0
command as shown in table of AT commands—type ATM0 in the space for extra
settings.
