6.6 Response Commands

The modem communicates with the operator through response messages. These appear on the monitor
or a computer printout to show the result of the command or action executed. Response messages can
appear as words or as numbers.

When an instruction is executed, the modem sends a message to the monitor showing the results of the
instruction.
6.6.2 S R
ELECTING ESPONSE
V tells the modem which type of response message to show on the monitor. These messages indicate the
present state of the modem and can appear as either digit or word messages. Some programming
situations require digit response messages. Otherwise, word response messages are better, because their
meanings are easier to remember than digits.
