the VCON message, after which AT commands can be entered without aborting the
telephone line connection.
If the modem is the answerer, it enters Online Voice Command Mode immediately after
going off-hook, and can report instances of DTMF tones and calling tones to the DTE. If
the modem is the originator, it enters Online Voice Command Mode based on detection
of the ringback cadence going away, upon expiration of the ringback never came timer,
or upon detection of answer tone, and the modem can report DTMF tones, answer tones,
busy tone, and dial tone to the DTE. (Note that DTMF tone reporting is supported in this
mode if DTMF reporting is enabled via the #VTD command.)
When this mode is entered as a result of going off-hook with the D or A command,
VCON is always sent to the DTE, after which the modem accepts commands. If this
mode is entered from Voice Transmit Mode, the DTE has issued the <DLE><ETX>,
and the modem responds with VCON. If this mode is entered from the Voice Receive
Mode because of a key abort, the modem issues the <DLE><ETX> followed by VCON.
If the #VLS command has switched in a handset or other device in place of the
telephone line, Online Voice Command Mode is immediately entered, whereas if the
telephone line is selected, a physical connection with another station must occur before
entering this mode.
7.1.2 Voice Receive Mode
Voice Receive Mode is entered when the DTE issues the #VRX command in order to
receive voice data. This typically occurs when either recording a greeting message, or
when recording voice messages from a remote station.
In Voice Receive Mode, voice samples from the modem analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) are sent either to the ADPCM coder for compression, or to the PCM coder for
linear PCM coding, and can then be read by the host. AT commands control the voice
sampling rate as well as codec bits-per-sample rates, and can also be used to select
adjustment of the silence detection period and sensitivity level when ADPCM
compression is selected.
In this mode, and when the sampling rate is 7.2 kHz, the modem detects and reports
DTMF, dial tone, and busy tone cadence as enabled by the #VTD command.
additionally, the modem detects and reports inactivity (periods of silence) as enabled
by the #VSS command. The modem can exit the Voice Receive Mode only via a DTE
Key Abort, or via Disconnect Inactivity timer (S30) expiration.
7.1.3 Voice Transmit Mode
Voice Transmit Mode is entered when the DTE issues the #VTX command in order to
transmit voice data. In this mode, when the sampling rate is 7.2 kHz, the modem
continues to detect and report DTMF and calling tones if enabled by the #VTD
