Appendix A AT Commands AT Command Set AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem’s operation and software configuration. The basic command syntax is as follows: <command><parameter> The <command> is a combination of the attention prefix (AT) followed by the AT command.
Page 31
This command is supported to ensure compatibility with communications software that issues the C1 command. However, this modem does not support the C0 command. The C0 command instructs some modems not to send carrier (i.e., it puts them in receive-only mode). D<dial string>—Dial This command instructs the soft modem to go off-hook and begin the dialing sequence.

PCI Modem Card User's Manual Y<value>—Long-Space Disconnect This command is supported to ensure compatibility with communication software that issues the Y0 command. Long-space disconnect is always disabled. Z<value>—Reset and Recall Stored Profile Use this command to force the soft modem to go on-hook and restore a profile saved by the &W command.
Page 40
Use this command to control the modem’s response to receiving a remote modems carrier signal. Data carrier detect (DCD) is a signal from the modem to the DTE indicating that the carrier signal is being received from a remote modem. The modem typically turns off DCD when it no longer detects the remote modems carrier signal.
Page 41
PCI Modem Card User's Manual &K0 &K3 &K4 &M<value>—Asynchronous Communications Mode This command is supported to ensure compatibility with communication software that issues the &M0 command. The preferred method for changing the asynchronous communication mode is to use the \N<error control mode> command. &M0 &P<value>—Pulse Dial Make-to-Break Ratio Selection This command is effective only for Japan.
&W<value>—Store Current Configuration Use this command to store the modems command options and all S registers except S3, S4, and S5. The Z<value> command or a powerup reset, of the modem, restores this profiles.
Page 43
PCI Modem Card User's Manual \A<value>—Select Maximum MNP Block Size The modem will operate an MNP error corrected link using a maximum block size controlled by the parameter sup-plied. \B<break time>—Send Break Use this command in non-error-controlled mode. It instructs the modem to transmit a break signal to the remote modem.
Page 44
Sends a break to the remote modem immediately. Sends a nondestructive, non expedited break to the remote modem (default). The second case occurs when the modem is in the on-line command state (waiting for AT commands) during a data connection, and the \B<value> command is received in order to send a break to the remote modem.
Page 45
PCI Modem Card User's Manual Disables flow control (same as &K0). XON/XOFF software flow control (same as &K4). \Q3 RTS/CTS to DTE (same as &K3) (default). \R<value>—Ring Indicator Signal Off After Answer This command is supported to ensure compatibility with communications software that issues the \R0 command.
Page 46
