  • Page 30: Using At Commands

    So you probably do not need a sophisticated knowledge of the commands used to control and configure the DataPort 2001. But you may need to know at least how to issue such commands. An Overview of AT Commands The DataPort 2001 uses AT commands and S-Registers to control its operation and firmware configuration.
  • Page 31: At Command Guidelines

    The following section lists guidelines for using AT commands. AT commands must be entered while the DataPort 2001 is in either Command mode or (when the DataPort 2001 is online with another modem) online Command mode. Command mode is an idle state that allows you to modify the DataPort 2001’s operating parameters or...

    P: Your DataPort 2001 dials and connects with another modem, but after a moment, disconnects the call. S: Your DataPort 2001 might be trying to communicate with an older modem that does not support error control. (This is known as an error control disconnect, where the DataPort 2001 is configured to establish a call using error correction.
  • Page 38: File Transfer

    To restore error control to your DataPort 2001, issue either the AT\N7 command (turns error control ON) or the AT&F command (restores factory defaults and enables error control) after the call. S: You may have a poor telephone line connection. Try dialing again.
  • Page 39: Character Format

    S: Verify the character structure of the online service and make appropriate changes in your software before dialing. Some services, such as GEnie, require a character structure of 7E1. S: Configure the DataPort 2001 for 2400 bps (ATS41=6) with no error control (AT\N0) and try to call again.
  • Page 40: Rate

    S: Make sure V.17 fax has not been disabled (ATS79=0). The ATS79=1 command enables V.17 fax and is the factory default. P: Your DataPort 2001 does not disconnect the call and hang up. S: Change the setting of the &D command from Ignore (&D0)
  • Page 41: Fax

    P: Your fax did not complete, and your DataPort 2001 displays results codes in the numeric format. S: For some reason, your DataPort 2001 and software are no longer communicating, and as a result, your DataPort 2001 is stuck in fax mode. Type ATE1V1 and press Enter. The software should respond with an OK.

The DataPort 2001 supports the possible combinations of Manual Dial, Manual Answer, Auto-Dial, and Auto-Answer. In cases where there is no local telephone off-hook, the DataPort 2001 connects in data-only VoiceSpan mode (no audio).
  • Page 49: G Databurst

    DataPort 2001 detects silence, it sends data at the highest rate possible (up to 14,400 bps). When there is new sound to transmit, the DataPort 2001 reverts to a data rate of 4800 bps. Switches between the high and low rates are made so quickly that they do not appreciably alter the sounds you hear.
  • Page 50 The following pictures show a session in which data-only mode is used. 1) Jan prepares to send a large file... 3) Jan initiates the file transfer. Jan realizes there is too much background noise in her office for DataBurst to have much effect.
  • Page 51 Chris’s return, and the completion of the file transfer. When Chris gets back to the telephone and picks up the handset, a ring signal is sent to Jan’s DataPort 2001 alerting her that he is ready to resume voice communication.
  • Page 52 (This can be done at any time, however.) The user taps the telephone hookswitch. This instantly puts the DataPort 2001 in high-speed data-only mode. (The user also could hang up the phone or issue the +++ escape sequence followed by the AT%VH1 command to invoke data-only mode.)
  • Page 53 Table 5-2. Data-Only Mode (2 of 2) Originating End Answering End The application completes the send, and the remote user acknowledges receipt. The user returns to VoiceSpan mode by tapping the telephone hookswitch. Simultaneous audio and data mode is restored. The VoiceSpan session proceeds.
  • Page 54: Ending A Voicespan Session

    Ending a VoiceSpan Session To end a VoiceSpan session, one user causes the DTE application to hang up. (How this is done is application- dependent.) The DataPort 2001s disconnect. If the telephones are still off-hook, the users can continue their conversation, uninterrupted.
  • Page 55 One user causes the DTE application to issue a +++ escape and an ATH (On-hook) command. The DataPort 2001 initiates its disconnect sequence. The VoiceSpan session ends and the DataPort 2001s are disconnected. If the telephones are both off-hook, the users can continue their conversation.
  • Page 56: Voicespan Alert Sounds

    DataPort 2001 switches to data-only mode. A short repeating beep reminds you when your DataPort 2001 is in data-only mode, but the remote user’s DataPort 2001 is not.
