AT Commands Reference
AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem's operation and software configuration. AT
commands can only be entered while the modem is in command mode. The format for entering AT commands is:
TYPE:ATXn
where X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command.
PRESS:Enter
Any command issued is acknowledged with a response in either text or numeric values known as result codes.
Table 2 lists all the valid result codes.
In the following listing, all commands and command-values accepted by the modem are shown; any entries other
than those shown cause the ERROR result code.
+++ Escape sequence
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line
command mode, you may communicate directly to your modem using AT commands. Once you are finished, you
may return to data mode using the ATO command.
A pause, the length which is set by the Escape Guard Time (S12), must be used after an escape sequence is
issued. This pause prevents the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data.
The value of the escape sequence character may be changed using Register S2.
A/Repeat Last Command
This command repeats the last command string entered. Do not precede this command with an AT prefix or
conclude it by pressing Enter.
AAnswer Command
This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call.
BnCommunication Standard Setting
This command determines CCITT vs. Bell standard.
B0:Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bits/s.
B1:Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bits/s (default).
B2:Unselects V23 reverse channel ( same as B3 ).
B3:Unselects V23 reverse channel ( same as B2 ).
B15:Selects V.21 when the modem is at 300 bits/s.
B16:Selects Bell 103J when the modem is at 300 bits/s (default).
Result Codes:
OKn = 0, 1, 15, 16

CnCarrier Control
The modem will accept the C1 command without error in order to assure backward compatibility with
communications software that issues the C1 command. However, this modem does not support the C0 command.
The C0 command may instruct some other modems to not send carrier (i.e., it puts them in a receive-only mode).
C0:Transmit carrier always off.
C1:Normal transmit carrier switching.
Result Codes:
OKn = 1
ERROROtherwise
DnDial
This command instructs the modem to begin the dialing sequence. The dial string (n, including modifiers and the
telephone number) is entered after the ATD command.
A dial string can be up to 40 characters long. Any digit or symbol (09, *, #, A, B, C, D) may be dialed as touchtone digits. Characters such as spaces, hyphens, and parentheses do not countthey are ignored by the modem
and may be included in the dial string to enhance readability.
The following may be used as dial string modifiers:
LRedials last number. Should be the first character following ATD, ignored otherwise.
PPulse dialing.
TTouch-tone dialing (default).
,Pause during dialing. Pause for time specified in Register S8 before processing the next character
in the dial string.
W Wait for dial tone. Modem waits for a second dial tone before processing the dial string.
VThe modem switches to speakerphone mode and dials the number. An ATH command may be used to
disconnect the voice call.
@ Wait for quiet answer. Wait for five seconds of silence after dialing the number. If silence is not
detected, the modem sends a NO ANSWER result code back to the user.
!Hook flash. Causes the modem to go on-hook for 0.5 seconds and then return to off-hook.
;Return to command mode. Causes the modem to return to command mode after dialing the number,
without disconnecting the call.
^Disable data calling tone transmission.
S=n Dial a telephone number previously stored using the &Zn=x command (see the &Zn=x command for
further information). The range of n is 0—3.
$Bong tone detection.
(continued)
EnEcho Command
This command controls whether or not the characters entered from your computer keyboard are echoed back to
your monitor while the modem is in command mode.
E0:Disables echo to the computer.
E1:Enables echo to the computer (default).
Result Codes:
OKn = 0, 1
ERROROtherwise

software, to assure backward compatibility.
F0:Online data character echo enabled (NOT SUPPORTED, ERROR).
F1:Online character echo disabled.
Result Codes:
OKn = 1

NnModulation 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.
N0:When originating or answering, this is for handshake only at the communication standard specified
by S37 and the ATB command.
N1:When originating or answering, begin the handshake only at the communication standard
specified by S37 and the ATB command. During handshake, fallback to a lower speed may occur
(default).

O3:This command issues a rate renegotiation before returning to on-line data mode.
Result Codes:
OKn = 0, 1, 3
ERROROtherwise
PSelect Pulse Dialing
This command configures the modem for pulse (non touch-tone) dialing. Dialed digits are pulsed until a T
command or dial modifier is received. Tone dial is the default setting.
QnResult Code Control
Result codes are informational messages sent from the modem and displayed on your monitor. Basic result
codes are OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, and ERROR. The ATQ command allows the user to turn result
codes on or off.

command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting.
VnDCE Response Format
This command controls whether result codes (including call progress and negotiation progress messages) are
displayed as words or their numeric equivalents.
V0:Displays result codes as digits.

XnResult Code Selection and Call Progress Monitoring
This command enables tone detection options used in the dialing process. As these functions are chosen, the
modem chip set’s result codes are also affected. Therefore, this command is frequently used to control the
modem chip set’s responses. The primary function of this control is to control the modem chip set’s call response
capabilities.

modem waits before dialing is specified in register S6.
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.
Busy Tone Detect
Disabled:The modem ignores any busy tones it receives.
Enabled:The modem monitors for busy tones.
Y0:Disable long space disconnect (default).
Y1:Enable long space disconnect. NOT SUPPORTED.

&CnData Carrier Detect (DCD) Control
Data Carrier Detect is a signal from the modem to your computer indicating that the carrier signal is being received
from a remote modem. DCD normally turns off when the modem no longer detects the carrier signal.
&C0:The state of the carrier from the remote modem is ignored. DCD circuit is always on.
&C1:DCD turns on when the remote modem's carrier signal is detected, and off when the carrier signal
is not detected (default).
Result Codes:
OKn = 0, 1
ERROROtherwise
&DnDTR Control
This command interprets how the modem responds to the state of the DTR signal and changes to the DTR signal.
&D0:Ignore. The modem ignores the true status of DTR and treats it as always on. This should only be
used if your computer does not provide DTR to the modem.
&D1:If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data mode, the modem enters command mode,
issues OK result code, and remains connected.
&D2:If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data mode, the modem disconnects (default).
&D3:Monitor DTR signal when an on-to-off transition occurs, the modem performs a soft reset as if the ATZ
command was received.
(continued)
Result Codes:
OKn = 0, 1, 2, 3
ERROROtherwise
&FnLoad Factory Settings
This command loads the configuration stored and programmed at the factory. This operation replaces all of the
command options and the S-register settings in the active configuration with factory values.
Note: In voice mode (AT+FCLASS=8), if this command is placed on the same line as other commands, the
command is ignored. In voice mode, to load factory settings, this command must be issued by itself.
&F0:Recall factory setting as active configuration.
The following command is for testing purposes only.
&F5:Recall factory settings appropriate for ETC mode as active configuration.
Result Codes:
