  • Page 24: At Dialing

    AT dialing AT dialing AT dialing is similar to the methods used to make data calls with a Hayes Smartmodem. Some AT commands do not apply to the MCA, and are not supported. Most AT commands begin with the letters AT (not case sensitive). These two letters are followed by a one- or two-character command (sometimes followed by additional parameters) and a carriage return.

  • Page 25: Aton (On-Line, Where N = 0, 1)

    ATOn (on-line, where n = 0, 1) This will put you on-line if you had previously used the escape code (three escape characters) to go off-line. The same result applies to both case n = 0 and n = 1. ATQn (result code, wheren=0,1) Result codes (call progress prompts) are not sent to your terminal when n = 1.

  • Page 26: Atzn (Soft Reset, Where N = 0, 1)

    AT dialing ATZn (soft reset, where n = 0, 1) This returns S0 through S49 registers and AT configurations to their default settings. The same result applies to both case n = 0 and n = 1. Registers S50 through S69 will be reset to their default values only upon power-up.

  • Page 27: Atin (Product Identification Code, Where N = 0, 1, 4)

    AT dialing ATIn (product identification code, where n = 0, 1, 4) When n = 0, the MCA displays the contents of S-registers S52–S54. The default is “960” (Smartmodem V-series 9600 modem). Other possible values are: “122” (Smartmodem 1200) and “240” (Smartmodem 2400). When n = 1, the result is “206.”...

  • Page 29: S1 (Ring Count; Read Only)

    S-registers S1 (ring count; read only) This returns the current number of rings for an incoming data call when read. S2 (escape character; range = 0–255) This holds the ASCII value of the escape character. If the S2 register is set to a value of 128 or greater, then escape character action is disabled.

  • Page 30: S8 (Pause Time For Comma; Range = 0-255)

    S-registers S8 (pause time for comma; range = 0–255) A comma included in the dialing sequence is interpreted as a delay. The default delay time is two seconds. S12 (escape code guard time; range = 0–255) The guard time aids in recognition of the escape sequence, useful since different numbers of escape characters mean different things.

  • Page 31: Dial Modifier

    Dial modifier Dial modifiers are special parameters used to tell the MCA how to dial the data number. Digit for dialing Characters for dialing While dialing, instructs PBX to begin dialing the digits entered to this point. After dialing, this character is outpulsed as tone. After dialing, this character is outpulsed as a tone.

    Additional asynchronous features Voice call origination By using a special cable, the MCA can communicate with two DTEs at the same time. The primary channel is the main communication channel offering MCA features. The second channel can respond to Voice Call Origination commands (VCO) only.

  • Page 43: Asynchronous Troubleshooting

    Asynchronous troubleshooting If data is sent in idle mode (when there is no active call), you can not use keypad dialing. You must stop sending the data from the DTE. You must disconnect pin 22, if you are using an RS-232 cable to connect the MCA to an ADM3/5 terminal.

  • Page 45 Symptom Solution MCA does not operate at all. Asynchronous troubleshooting Check the LED in the back of the telephone to see if it is flashing. If the LED is steadily lit, the MCA needs to be configured in your system, or the MCA is not functioning correctly. If the LED is not lit, the MCA requires external power.
