ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Top-of-the-Case Lights (on Some Voice Externals) Light What It Means When Lit POWER....The modem is turned on. SEND ....The computer is sending a data bit to the modem. RECEIVE .....The modem is sending result codes or passing received data bits from the remote. ONLINE....The modem is online.
ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Typing Commands Type commands in either upper or lower case, not a combination. Use the Backspace key to delete errors. (You cannot delete the original AT command since it is stored in the modem buffer.) If a command has numeric options and you don’t include a number, zero is assumed.
ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Basic Data Commands Re-executes the last issued <control key>S command. Used mainly to Stop or restart help screens. redial. Does not require the <control key>C AT prefix or a Carriage Return. <control key>K A> Re-executes the last issued Stop help screens.

ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE S-Registers To change a setting, use the ATSr=n command, where r is the register and n is a decimal value from 0 255 (unless otherwise indicated). Register Default Function Sets the number of rings on which to answer in Auto Answer mode. When set to 0, Auto Answer is disabled.
Page 23
ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Register Default Function Sets the number of seconds the modem waits before dialing. If Xn is set to X2 or X4, this is the time-out length if there isn' t a dial tone. Sets the number of seconds the modem waits for a carrier. May be set for much longer duration if, for example, the modem is originating an international connection.
Page 24
ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Register Default Function S10 (cont.) Note: If you set S10 = 255, the modem will not hang up when carrier is lost. Dropping DTR hangs up the modem. Sets the duration and spacing, in milliseconds, for tone dialing. Sets the duration, in fiftieths of a second, of the guard time for the escape code sequence (+++).

ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Register Default Function S13 (cont.) Value Result At power on/reset, autodial the number stored in NVRAM at position 0. Reserved Disable quick retrains. Disconnect on escape code. The 1.5K-byte non-ARQ buffer allows data transfer with Xmodem- and Ymodem-type file transfer protocols without using flow control.

S35-S37 Reserved Sets an optional delay, in seconds, before a forced hang-up and clearing of the Transmit buffer when DTR drops during an ARQ call. This allows time for a remote modem to acknowledge receipt of all transmitted data before it is disconnected.

ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Fax Commands +FCLASS=n Sets the mode of operation. FCLASS=0 Data mode FCLASS=1 Group 3 Facsimile Service Class 1 mode FCLASS? Displays the current FCLASS mode. (See mode descriptions above.) +FCLASS=? Displays the FCLASS mode options. (See mode descriptions above.) +FTS=n Stops the fax transmission.
Page 34
ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE +FRS=n Makes the modem wait for a specified length of silence before sending OK to the screen. The pause is set in 10 millisecond intervals. n is the number of 10 millisecond intervals that pass before OK appears. (n=0-255) Note: This command terminates with OK when either the specified amount of silence is detected or when the user types anything (which is ignored).

ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE +FTH=n Transmits data framed in the HDLC protocol using the modulation specified by n. (n = 3, 24, 48, 72, 96, 97, 98, 121, 122, 145, or 146) Note: See the “Screen Messages” table at the end of this section for an explanation of messages that appear in response to this command.

ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE Screen Messages Displayed Displayed Description as a number in words The previous command has been processed successfully. CONNECT The modem has just connected to another modem. RING Reports the receipt of a network altering ring. NO CARRIER No carrier is being received from the modem.
ECHNICAL UICK EFERENCE The Serial Interface The serial interface is a standard developed by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). It defines the signals and voltages used when data is exchanged between a computer and a modem or serial printer. The entire standard covers many more functions than are used in most data communications applications.
