KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA 6. Back in the terminal window, you can enter commands for the modem. Key in the AT <Enter>. You should receive the response “OK”. If nothing appears, this indicates that the modem does not receive the interruption IRQ. Use the control panel of the modem under Windows 95 to change the IRQ.
KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA Appendix 1 AT Commands set 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 20
KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA A pause, the length which is set by the Escape Guard Time (S12), must be used after an escape sequence is issued. This pause prevents the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The value of the escape sequence character may be changed using Register S2.

KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA Result Codes: OK n = 1 ERROR Otherwise &Cn Data Carrier Detect (DCD) Control Data Carrier Detect is a signal from the modem to your computer indicating that the carrier signal is being received from a remote modem. DCD normally turns off when the modem no longer detects the carrier signal.
Page 30
KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA &D2: If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data mode, the modem disconnects (default). If this signal is not present, the modem will not answer or dial. &D3: Monitor DTR signal when an on-to-off transition occurs, the modem performs a soft reset as if the ATZ command was received.
