Appendix A AT Commands
AT Command Set
AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem’s operation
and software configuration. The basic command syntax is as follows:
<command><parameter>
The <command> is a combination of the attention prefix (AT) followed by
the AT command. The <parameter> is a string which represents a numeric
decimal value.
Note: If a parameter value is not entered then the soft modem assumes a
parameter value of zero.
Any command issued is acknowledged with a response in either text or
numeric values. These responses are known as result codes.
AT commands can only be entered while the modem is in command mode.
Command mode is entered under one of the following conditions:
After powerup, at the termination of a connection, or after the
!
execution of a command other than dial or answer.
Upon the receipt of the escape sequence (three consecutive characters
!
matching the contents of register S2) while in on-line mode.
Upon the on-to-off transition of DTR if &D1, &D2, or &D3 has been
!
set.
A.1 AT Commands
A.1.1 Data and General Commands
+++Escape Sequence
An escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line
command mode. While in on-line command mode, AT commands are sent
directly to the modem. Use the return to on-line data mode command (see
O<value>—Return to On-Line Data Mode) to return to data mode.
Place a pause before and after the escape sequence to prevent the modem
from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The length of the pause is set
29
Page 31
PCI Modem Card User's Manual
by register S12 (see S12—Escape Guard Time), the escape guard time.
Register S2 (see S2—AT Escape Character) identifies the escape sequence
character.
A/—Repeat Last Command
Use this command to repeat the last AT command. The modem repeats the
command currently in the command buffer. Do not use the AT prefix with
this command. Do not conclude the command with a terminating character
such as enter.
A—Answer
This command instructs the soft modem to go off-hook and answer an
incoming call.
B<value>—Communication Standard Setting
Use this command to select the communication standard used by the soft
modem.
B0Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bits/s.
B1Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bits/s (default).
B2Deselects V.23 reverse channel (same as B3).
B3Deselects V.23 reverse channel (same as B2).
B15Selects V.21 when the modem is at 300 bits/s.
B16Selects Bell 103J when the modem is at 300 bits/s (default).
30
C<value>—Carrier Control
This command is supported to ensure compatibility with communications
software that issues the C1 command.
However, this modem does not support the C0 command. The C0 command
instructs some modems not to send carrier (i.e., it puts them in receive-only
mode).
C1Normal transmit carrier switching (default).
D<dial string>—Dial
This command instructs the soft modem to go off-hook and begin the dialing
sequence. The dial string (<dial string>, including modifiers and the
telephone number) is entered after the D command.
A dial string can be up to sixty characters long. Any digit or symbol may be
dialed as touchtone digits. Characters such as spaces, hyphens, and
Page 32
Appendix A AT Commands
parentheses are ignored by the modem and may be included in the dial string
to enhance readability.

+ILRR=<value>—DTE-DCE Local Rate Reporting
Use this command to display or hide the local rate report result code. If the
rate report is enabled, the reported <rate> is the current DTE-DCE rate. The
rate report is an intermediate result code. It is transmitted after any
modulation, error control, or data compression reports, and before the final
result code (e.g., CONNECT).
+ILRR=0Disables the local rate report (default).
+ILRR=1Enables the local rate report.

Appendix A AT Commands
+IPR=<DTE rate>—Fixed DTE Rate
Use this command to set the DTE to DCE transmission rate. There are twelve
fixed transmission rates used by the DTE to communicate with the DCE.
This commands select one of the predefined transmission rates. If a rate is
entered which is not supported, the transmission rate defaults to the next
lower rate.

+IPR=921600 921600 bits/s.
+MA=<carrier 1>,<carrier 2>, ...—Modulation Automode Control
Use this parameter to define a list of modulations that the soft modem may
use to connect with a remote modem for answering or originating automode
(automatic modulation negotiation) data calls. The list acts as an extension to
the modulation specified by the +MS=<carrier> command. The modulation
identified by <carrier> in the +MS command limits the values in the +MA
carrier list. Modulations which exceed the rate set by the +MS command,
generate an ERROR result code and are not implemented by the soft modem.
<carrier> values omitted from the list are not available for automode
negotiation and are not used in automode negotiation even when the modem
is capable of generating the modulation.
+MR=<value>—Modulation Reporting Control
Use this command to enable or disable modulation report result codes. When
the modulation report is enabled, the DCE transmits the +MRR: <rate>,
<rx_rate> and the +MCR:<carrier> intermediate result codes to the DTE.
The <carrier> reported is the current modulation, for example, V.34. The
<rate> reported is the transmit rate in bits per second or is zero if negotiation
fails. The <rx_rate> is the receive channel rate and is only reported when
different receive and transmit rates have negotiated.
The intermediate result codes are transmitted after the modulation and the
55

rate have been determined and before any error control or data compression
reports or the final result code (e.g., CONNECT) is transmitted.
Use this command to set the modem’s modulation, the modulation’s
minimum and maximum transmission rate, and the status of automatic
modulation negotiation (automode). The <carrier>, <min_rate>, and
<max_rate> parameters define the modulation and its minimum and
maximum rates.
The <automode> parameter enables or disables automatic modulation
negotiation. If a subsequent +MA command is not provided, the automode
parameters are constrained by the modulation set by the <carrier> parameter.
The +MA command can further restrict the automatic modulation
negotiation settings but it cannot set a modulation that is higher than the
modulation set by the +MS command.

Use this command to enable or disable V.34 seamless rate changes.
Use this command to select how the modem responds to a call waiting signal.
The soft modems response is also dependent on the current setting of the
caller ID command, +VCID.
Valid <call_waiting> Values:

+PMH=<value>—Modem On Hold Enable
Use this command to enable or disable modem on hold. Note, that the
+PMH command does not effect the parameters of the +PMHT command.
The +PMH command only enables or disables modem on hold. The
+PMHT command configures the modem to deny a modem on hold request
or grant a modem on hold request with the selected hold time.
+PMH=0Enables modem on hold (default).
+PMH=1Disables modem on hold.
+PMHF—Modem On Hold Hook Flash
Use this command to generate a hook flash during modem on hold operations.
The command causes the modem to go on-hook for a period of time set by
S29. Then the modem returns to the off-hook state for at least 1.5 s.
+PMHR—Initiate Modem On Hold
Use this command to initiate a modem on hold request. Once the local
modem receives this request from the user or controlling application, the soft
modem requests that the remote modem go on hold. The remote modem
either denies the request or grants the request. If the request is granted, the
remote modem initialized the modem on hold timer and informs the local
modem what the length of the hold duration is. If the request is denied, the
local modem generates an ERROR result code and hangs up the line.
58
+PMHT=<value>—Modem On Hold Timer
Use this command to configure the soft modem to grant or reject a modem
on hold request. This command configures the modem so it can respond to a
modem on hold request. The command must be executed prior to reception
of a modem on hold request. If a modem on hold request is made prior to
execution of the +PMHT command, by default, the modem on hold request is
denied.
This command also sets the modem on hold timer. The modem on hold timer
sets the amount of time the modem will remain on hold waiting for the
requesting modem to return to the line. If the timer expires, the soft modem
will hang up the call.
+PMHT=0 Deny modem on hold request (default).
+PMHT=1 Grant modem on hold request with a 10 s time-out.
+PMHT=2 Grant modem on hold request with a 20 s time-out.
+PMHT=3 Grant modem on hold request with a 30 s time-out.

+PMHT=13 Grant modem on hold request with an indefinite time-out.
+PQC=<value>—V.92 Phase 1 and Phase 2 Control
Use this command to configure the V.92 short training sequence. This
command selects which short phases are used during initiation of a
connection. Once the modem is configured, use the +PSS command to
enable or disable the short training sequence.
+PQC=0Enable short phase 1 and short phase 2 (default).
+PQC=1Enable short phase 1 only.
+PQC=2Enable short phase 2 only.
+PQC=3Disable short phase 1 and short phase 2.
+PSS=<value>—Use Short Sequence
Use this command to enable or disable the V.92 short training sequence.

<value> = 5 results in a 50 ms interval. <value> has a range of 0—255.
A.1.2 FAX Commands
+FAA=<value>—Adaptive Answer
A service class 1 FAX DCE may have the ability to answer as a data modem
DCE or as a FAX DCE. It may also be able to change from class 1 FAX
mode to data modem operation in response to an incoming call.
60
Page 62
Appendix A AT Commands
Note: This command controls automatic switching from class 1 to class 0 for
call answering only. It does not affect call origination, switching to class 1
from other classes, or switching to classes other than class 0.
+FAA=0The DCE will answer only as a class 1 FAX device. No
automatic switching of service class will occur based on the
calling device type (default).
+FAA=1The DCE can answer and automatically determine whether to
answer as a facsimile DCE or as a data modem.
+FCLASS=1—Enter Class 1 FAX Mode
The +FCLASS=1 command puts the modem in class 1 FAX mode.
+FMI?—Manufacturer Identification
This command returns: Agere Systems
+FMM?—Product Identification
This command returns the result: Data/FAX.
+FMR?—Version/Revision Information
This command returns the modem version code.
+FPR=<value>—Select FAX Port Rate
This command sets the DTE to DCE FAX port rate. The +FPR command is
supported to assure compatibility with communications software that issues
the this command. Soft modem products do not maintain the traditional
relationship between the DTE and DCE that this command was designed to
control. Soft modem products interface with the host system via a PCI or
AC97 interface.

A.2 Result Codes
The soft modem AT command handler responds to commands from the
caller and to activity on the line via result codes. Table below presents a
summary of these result codes.
Two forms of each result code are available. The long-form, or verbose,
response is given when V1 is selected, and the short-form, numeric response
is given when V0 is selected. The long-form code is preceded and terminated
by the sequence <CR> <LF>. The short-form is also terminated by <CR>,
but it has no preceding sequence. If result codes are suppressed, nothing is
returned to the caller.

Appendix C Glossary
ASCII - An acronym for American Standard Code for Information
Exchange. ASCII is a seven-bit code which defines 128 standard characters,
including control characters, letters, numbers, and symbols. An extra 128
characters comprise the extended ASCII set.
Baud Rate - The transmission rate between two serial devices, e.g.,
modems, fax machines, etc. Measured in Bits Per Second.
Blind Dialing - In blind dialing, the modem continues to dial, regardless of
the existence of a dialtone, ring, or busy signal.
BPS - Bits Per Second; the number of bits that can be transmitted in one
second.
Carrier Signal - The analog data signal that a modem sends over telephone
wires.
COMx - Where (x = 1, 2, 3, or 4), COMx is the name(address) of serial
communications ports on personal computers. Each serial port in a personal
computer has a different number.
CTS - Clear To Send.
Default - The assumed value that is used for a command parameter when
no other value is explicitly provided.
DCD - Data Carrier Detect.
DCE - Data Communication Equipment.
DTE - Data Terminal Equipment.
DSVD - Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data.
DTMF - Dual Tone Multifrequency(for touchtone dialing).
DTR - Data Terminal Ready.
FSK - Frequency Shift Keying.
GSTN - General Switched Telephone Network.
Make/Break Ratio - The ratio of the off-hook (make) to on-hook (break)
interval is the make/break ratio in pulse dialing.

Modem - A combination of the words MOdulator and DEModulator.
Modems transform digital data into analog signals and back again.
Nonvolatile Memory - An area of memory inside the modem where the
default configuration profile is stored. Values recorded in this memory will
not be lost when the power is turned off.
Off-Hook - The condition when the modem has picked up the telephone
line.
Off-Line Command State - A modem state in which the modem accepts,
interprets and executes commands from an asynchronous computer or
terminal.
On-Hook - The condition when the modem has not picked up the telephone
line; the telephone is hung up.
On-Line - A carrier signal link with a remote modem has been established;
communication is in progress.
On-Line State - A modem state in which the modem is connected with a
remote modem. Data can be sent or received from the remote modem in this
state. No commands will be accepted from the modem except the escape
command which will bring the modem into the on-line command state.
On-Line Command State - A modem state in which the modem can
accept or and execute commands from an asynchronous computer or terminal
while remaining connected with the remote modem. The user can return the
modem to the on-line state by issuing the AT0n command or put it into the
off-line command state by issuing commands such as ATZ or ATH.
76
Parity - An error-checking method by which the modem verifies that the
data just sent is correct.
pps - Pulse per second.
Profile - A list of default settings.
Protocol - A technical specification for serial communications; the
protocols supported by the modem are listed in Appendix B.
PSK - Phase Shift Keying.
Pulse Dialing - A dialing form in which each digit is represented by a
series of pulses. Rotary telephones all use pulse dialing.
QAM - Quadrature Amplitude Modulation.
Result Codes - The response the modem returns to the screen upon
executing a command.

Appendix C Glossary
RAM - Random Access Memory.
ROM - Read-Only Memory. A chip inside the modem which stores the
factory default settings. This memory cannot be changed.
RTS - Request To Send.
RX - Reception.
S Register - RAM locations in the modem which store the active
configuration.
Serial Port - See COMx.
TCM - Trellis-Coded Modulation.
Touchtone Dialing - A dialing format in which each digit is represented
