Page 188 AT Commands Answer command This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call. Communication standard setting This command determines the communication standard CCITT or Bell. Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bps. Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bps (default).
Page 189 AT Commands Disables echo to the computer. Enables echo to the computer (default). Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise Hook control This command instructs the modem to go on-hook to disconnect a call, or off-hook to make the phone line busy. Modem goes on-hook (default).
Page 190 AT Commands Result Codes: n=0,1,2,3 ERROR Otherwise Modulation handshake This command controls whether or not the local modem performs a negotiated handshake at connection time with the remote modem when the communication speed of the two modems is different. When originating or answering, this is for handshake only at the communication standard specified by S37 and the ATB command.
Page 191 AT Commands Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise Select tone dialing This command instructs the modem to send DTMF tones while dialing. Dialed digits are tone dialed until a P command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting. DCE response format This command controls whether result codes (including call progress and negotiation progress messages) are displayed as words or their numeric...
Page 192 AT Commands Dial tone detect Disabled:The modem dials a call regardless of whether it detects a dial tone. Enabled:The modem dials only upon detection of a dial tone, and disconnects the call if the dial tone is not detected within 10 seconds.
Page 193 AT Commands &D2 If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data mode, the modem disconnects (default). &D3 Reset on the on-to-off DTR transition. Result Codes: n=0,1,2,3 ERROR Otherwise &F Load factory settings This command loads the configuration stored and programmed at the factory.
Page 194 AT Commands &Tn Self-test commands These tests can help to isolate problems if you experience periodic data loss or random errors. &T0 Abort. Stops any test in progress. &T1 Local analog loop. This test verifies modem operation, as well as the connection between the modem and computer. Any data entered at the local DTE is modulated, then demodulated, and returned to the local DTE.
Page 195 AT Commands V.42, MNP, or buffered (default). The modem attempts to connect in V.42 error control mode. If this fails, it attempts to connect in MNP mode. If this fails, it connects in buffer mode and continues operation. This is also known as V.42/MNP auto reliable mode (same as &Q5).
Page 196: S-Register Values
Appendix D S-registers S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails.

Page 198 S-registers Command line editing character (user defined) This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII.
Page 199 S-registers Comma pause time This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encounters a comma (,) in the dial command string. In some countries/regions, S8 will set both wait before dialing and comma pause time. Range:0-255 Default:2 Units:seconds...
