AT Commands Reference Manual
Syntax and Procedures
The command and response syntax and procedures generally conform to referenced
recommendations and standards. Since these recommendations and standards describe
characteristics universal to a large installed base of modems to a maximum degree, there
may be syntax and procedural differences due to extensions and behavioral differences in
implemented commands, parameters, and responses beyond that described in these
recommendations and standards.
The syntax and procedures described in this section are based on V.250 and V.253 with
additional information included for implemented extensions, behavioral differences
beyond V.250, and legacy commands.
Alphabet
The T.50 International Alphabet 5 (IA5) is used in this document. Only the low-order
seven bits of each character are significant to the modem; any eighth or higher-order
bit(s), if present, are ignored for the purpose of identifying commands and parameters.
Lower-case characters are considered identical to their upper-case equivalents when
received by the modem from the DTE. Result codes from the modem are in upper case.
2.2
2.2.1
DTE Commands Lines
Words enclosed in <angle brackets> are references to syntactical elements. The brackets
are not used when the words appear in a command line, the brackets are not used. Words
enclosed in [square brackets] represent optional items which may be omitted from the
command line at the specified point. The square brackets are not used when the words
appear in the command line. Other characters that appear in syntax descriptions must as
included as shown.
Any modem responses are mentioned in terms of their alphabetic format; the actual
response issued will depend on the setting of parameters that affect response formats,
e.g., Q and V commands (see 2.7).
Command Line General Format
A command line is made up of three elements: the prefix, the body, and the termination
character.
The command line prefix consists of the characters "AT" or "at" or, to repeat the
execution of the previous command line, the characters "A/" or "a/".
The body is made up of individual commands described in this document. Space
characters (IA5 2/0) are ignored and may be used freely for formatting purposes, unless
they are embedded in numeric or string constants. The termination character may not
appear in the body. The modem can accept at least 50 characters in the body.
The termination character may be selected by a user option (parameter S3), the default
being CR.

Conexant

2.2.2
2.2.3
2.2.4
AT Commands Reference Manual
Command Line Editing
The character defined by parameter S5 (default, BS) is interpreted as a request from the
DTE to the modem to delete the previous character. Any control characters (IA5 0/0
through 1/15, inclusive) that remain in the command line after receipt of the termination
character are ignored by the modem.
The modem checks characters from the DTE first to see if they match the termination
character (S3), then the editing character (S5), before checking for other characters. This
ensures that these characters will be properly recognized even if they are set to values
that the modem uses for other purposes. If S3 and S5 are set to the same value, a
matching character will be treated as matching S3 (S3 is checked before S5).
Command Line Echo
The modem may echo characters received from the DTE during command state and
online command state back to the DTE, depending on the setting of the E command. If
enabled, characters received from the DTE are echoed in the same format as received.
Invalid characters in the command line or incomplete or improperly-formed command
line prefixes may not be echoed.
Repeating a Command Line
2.2.5
2.3
If the prefix "A/" or "a/" is received, the modem immediately executes once again the
body of the preceding command line. No editing is possible, and no termination character
is necessary. A command line may be repeated multiple times in this manner. Responses
to the repeated command line are issued using format of the original command line. If
"A/" is received before any command line has been executed, the preceding command
line is assumed to have been empty (that results in an OK result code).
Types of DTE Commands
There are two types of commands: action commands and parameter commands.
Commands of either type may be included in command lines, in any order.
Action commands may be "executed" (to invoke a particular function of the equipment,
which generally involves more than the simple storage of a value for later use), or
"tested" (to determine whether or not the equipment implements the action command,
and, if subparameters are associated with the action, the ranges of subparameter values
that are supported).
Parameters may be "set" (to store a value or values for later use), "read" (to determine the
current value or values stored), or "tested" (to determine whether or not the equipment
implements the parameter, and the ranges of values supported).
Basic Syntax Commands
2.3.1
2-2
Basic Syntax Command Format
The format of Basic Syntax commands, except for the D and S commands, is as follows:
<command>[<number>]
Conexant
100722B
2.3.2
AT Commands Reference Manual
where <command> is either a single character, or the "&" character followed by a single
character per V.250. In addition, <command> can be the "%" character followed by a
single character, the "*" character followed by a single character, or the "^" character
followed by a single character.
<number> may be a string of one or more characters from "0" through "9" representing a
decimal integer value. Commands that expect a <number> are noted in the description of
the command. If a command expects <number> and it is missing (<command> is
immediately followed in the command line by another <command> or the termination
character), the value "0" is assumed. If a command does not expect a <number> and a
number is present, an ERROR is generated. All leading "0"s in <number> are ignored by
the modem.
Additional commands may follow a command (and associated parameter, if any) on the
same command line without any character required for separation. The actions of some
commands cause the remainder of the command line to be ignored (e.g., A).
See the D command for details on the format of the information that follows it.
S-Parameters
Commands that begin with the letter "S" are known as "S-parameters". The number
following the "S" indicates the "parameter number" being referenced. If the number is not
recognized as a valid parameter number, an ERROR result code is issued.
Immediately following this number, either a "?" or "=" character must appear. "?" is used
to read the current value of the indicated S-parameter; "=" is used to set the S-parameter
to a new value.
S<parameter_number>?
S<parameter_number>=[<value>]
If the "=" is used, the new value to be stored in the S-parameter is specified in decimal
following the "=". If no value is given (i.e., the end of the command line occurs or the
next command follows immediately), the S-parameter specified may be set to 0, or an
ERROR result code issued and the stored value left unchanged. The ranges of acceptable
values are given in the description of each S-parameter.
If the "?" is used, the modem transmits a single line of information text to the DTE. The
text portion of this information text consists of exactly three characters, giving the value
of the S-parameter in decimal, with leading zeroes included.

2.4.1
AT Commands Reference Manual
Extended Syntax Commands
Command Naming Rules
Both actions and parameters have names, which are used in the related commands.
Names always begin with the character "+". Following the "+", from one to 16 additional
characters appear in the command name. These characters will be selected from the
following set:
A through Z(IA5 4/1 through 5/10)
0 through 9(IA5 3/0 through 3/9)
!(IA5 2/1)
%(IA5 2/5)
-(IA5 2/13)
.(IA5 2/14)
/(IA5 2/15)
:(IA5 3/10)
_(IA5 5/15)
The first character following the "+" is an alphabetic character in the range of "A"
through "Z". This first character generally implies the application in which a command is
used (e.g., F for Fax or V for voice).
2.4.2
The modem considers lower-case characters to be the same as their upper-case
equivalents.
Values
When subparameters are associated with the execution of an action, or when setting a
parameter, the command may include specification of values. This is indicated by the
appearance of <value> in the descriptions below.
<value> consists of either a numeric constant or a string constant.
Numeric Constants
Numeric constants are expressed in decimal, hexadecimal, or binary.
Decimal numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0"
through "9", inclusive.
Hexadecimal numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters
"0" through "9", inclusive, and "A" through "F" inclusive. The characters "A" through
"F" represent the equivalent decimal values 10 through 15.
Binary numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0" and
"1".
In all numeric constants, the most significant digit is specified first. Leading "0"
characters are ignored by the modem. No spaces, hyphens, periods, commas, parentheses,
or other generally-accepted numeric formatting characters are permitted in numeric
constants; note in particular that no "H" suffix is appended to the end of hexadecimal
constants.
2-4
Conexant
100722B
AT Commands Reference Manual
String Constants
String constants consist of a sequence of displayable IA5 characters, each in the range
from 2/0 to 7/15, inclusive, except for the characters ‘"’ (IA5 2/2) and "\" (IA5 5/12).
String constants are bounded at the beginning and end by the double-quote character (‘"’,
IA5 2/2).
Any character value may be included in the string by representing it as a backslash ("\")
character followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, "\0D" is a string consisting
of the single character <CR> (IA5 0/13). If the "\" character itself is to be represented in a
string, it is encoded as "\5C". The double-quote character, used as the beginning and
ending string delimiter, is represented within a string constant as "\22".
A "null" string constant, or a string constant of zero length, is represented by two
adjacent delimiters ("").
Compound Values
Actions may have more than one subparameter associated with them, and parameters
may have more than one value. These are known as "compound values", and their
treatment is the same in both actions and parameters.
A compound value consists of any combination of numeric and string values (as defined
in the description of the action or parameter). The comma character must be included as a
separator, before the second and all subsequent values in the compound value. If a value
is not specified (i.e., defaults assumed), the required comma separator must be specified;
however, trailing comma characters may be omitted if all associated values are also
omitted.
2.4.3
Action Commands
Action Execution Command Syntax
There are two general types of action commands: those that have associated subparameter
values that affect only that invocation of the command, and those that have no
subparameters.
If subparameters are associated with a command, the definition of the action command
indicates, for each subparameter, whether the specification of a value for that
subparameter is mandatory or optional. For optional subparameters, the definition
indicates the assumed (default) value for the subparameter if no value is specified for that
subparameter; the assumed value may be either a previous value (i.e., the value of an
omitted subparameter remains the same as the previous invocation of the same command,
or is determined by a separate parameter or other mechanism), or a fixed value (e.g., the
value of an omitted subparameter is assumed to be zero). Generally, the default value for
numeric subparameters is 0, and the default value for string subparameters is "" (empty
string).
The following syntax is used for actions that have no subparameters:
+<name>
100722B
Conexant
2-5
AT Commands Reference Manual
The following syntax is used for actions that have one subparameter:
+<name>[=<value>]
The following syntax is used for actions that have two or more subparameters:
+<name>[=<compound_value>]
For actions that accept subparameters, if all subparameters are defined as being optional,
and the default values for all subparameters are satisfactory, the data terminal equipment
(DTE) may use the first syntax above (i.e., omit the "=" from the action execution
command as well as all of the subparameter value string).
If all other relevant criteria are met (e.g., the modem is in the proper state), the command
is executed with any indicated subparameters. If <name> is not recognized, the modem
issues the ERROR result code and terminates processing of the command line. An
ERROR is also generated if a subparameter is specified for an action that does not accept
subparameters, if too many subparameters are specified, if a mandatory subparameter is
not specified, if a value is specified of the wrong type, or if a value is specified that is not
within the supported range.
Action Test Command Syntax
The DTE may test if an action command is implemented in the modem by using the
syntax:
+<name>=?
If the modem does not recognize the indicated name, it returns an ERROR result code
and terminates processing of the command line. If the modem does recognize the action
name, it returns an OK result code. If the named action accepts one or more
subparameters, the modem sends an information text response to the DTE, prior to the
OK result code, specifying the values supported by the modem for each such
subparameter, and possibly additional information. The format of this information text is
defined for each action command.
2.4.4
2-6
Parameter Commands
Parameter Types
Parameters may be defined as "read-only" or "read-write". "Read-only" parameters are
used to provide status or identifying information to the DTE, but cannot be set by the
DTE; attempting to set their value is an error. In some cases (specified in the description
of the individual parameter), the modem may ignore attempts to set the value of such
parameters rather than respond with an ERROR result code, if the continued correct
operation of the interface between the modem and DTE will not be affected by such
action. Read-only parameters may be read and tested.
"Read-write" parameters may be set by the DTE, to store a value or values for later use.
Read-write parameters may be set, read, and tested.
Parameters may take either a single value, or multiple (compound) values. Each value
may be either numeric or string; the definition of the parameter will specify the type of
value for each subparameter. Attempting to store a string value in a numeric parameter,
or a numeric value in a string parameter, is an error.
Conexant
100722B
AT Commands Reference Manual
Parameter Set Command Syntax
The definition of the parameter indicates, for each value, whether the specification of that
value is mandatory or optional. For optional values, the definition indicates the assumed
(default) value if none is specified; the assumed value may be either a previous value
(i.e., the value of an omitted subparameter retains its previous value), or a fixed value
(e.g., the value of an omitted subparameter is assumed to be zero). Generally, the default
value for numeric parameters is 0, and the default value for string parameters is "" (empty
string).
The following syntax is used for parameters that accept a single value:
+<name>=[<value>]
The following syntax is used for parameters that accept more than one value:
+<name>=[<compound_value>]
For each implemented parameter, if all mandatory values are specified, and all values are
valid according to the definition of the parameter, the specified values are stored. If
<name> is not recognized, one or more mandatory values are omitted, or one or more
values are of the wrong type or outside the permitted range, the modem issues the
ERROR result code and terminates processing of the command line. An ERROR is also
generated if too many values are specified. In case of an error, all previous values of the
parameter are unaffected.
Parameter Read Command Syntax
The DTE may determine the current value or values stored in a parameter by using the
following syntax:
+<name>?
The modem responds by sending the current values stored for the parameter to the DTE
in an information text response. The format of this response is described in the definition
of the parameter. Generally, the values are sent in the same form in which they would be
issued by the DTE in a parameter setting command; if multiple values are supported, they
will generally be separated by commas, as in a parameter setting command.
Parameter Test Command Syntax
The DTE may test if a parameter is implemented in the modem, and determine the
supported values, by using the syntax:
+<name>=?
If the modem does not recognize the indicated name, it returns an ERROR result code
and terminates processing of the command line. If the modem does recognize the
parameter name, it returns an information text response to the DTE, followed by an OK
result code. The information text response indicates the values supported by the modem
for each such subparameter, and possibly additional information. The format of this
information text is defined for each parameter.

Additional Syntax Rules
Concatenating Commands after Extended Syntax Commands
Additional commands may follow an extended-syntax command on the same command
line if a semicolon (";") is inserted after the preceding extended command as a separator.
Conexant
2-7
2.5
AT Commands Reference Manual
The semicolon is not necessary when the extended syntax command is the last command
on the command line.
Concatenating Commands after Basic Format Commands
Extended syntax commands may appear on the same command line after a basic syntax
command without a separator, in the same manner as concatenation of basic syntax
commands.
Issuing Commands
All characters in a command line must be issued at the same data rate, and with the
same parity and format.
The modem will ignore any command line that is not properly terminated. The modem
may consider 30 seconds of mark idle time between any two characters as an improperly
terminated command line. In this case the modem may or may not generate an ERROR
message. The modem will ignore any characters received from the DTE that are not part
of a properly-formatted command line.
If the maximum number of characters that the modem can accept in the body is exceeded,
an ERROR result code is generated after the command line is terminated.
2.6
2.6.1
The DTE will not begin issuing a subsequent command line until at least one-tenth of a
second has elapsed after receipt of the entire result code issued by the modem in response
to the preceding command line.
Executing Commands
Upon receipt of the termination character, the modem commences execution of the
commands in the command line in the order received from the DTE. Should execution of
a command result in an error, or a character be not recognized as a valid command,
execution is terminated, the remainder of the command line is ignored, and the ERROR
result code is issued. Otherwise, if all commands execute correctly, only the result code
associated with the last command is issued; result codes for preceding commands are
suppressed. If no commands appear in the command line, the OK result code is issued.
Aborting Commands
Some action commands that require time to execute may be aborted while in progress;
these are explicitly noted in the description of the command. Aborting of commands is
accomplished by the transmission from the DTE to the modem of any character. A single
character is sufficient to abort the command in progress; however, characters transmitted
during the first 125 milliseconds after transmission of the termination character are
ignored (to allow for the DTE to append additional control characters such as line feed
after the command line termination character). To ensure that the aborting character is
recognized by the modem, it should be sent at the same rate as the preceding
command line; the modem may ignore characters sent at other rates. When such an
aborting event is recognized by the modem, the modem terminates the command in
progress and returns an appropriate result code to the DTE, as specified for the particular
command.

2.6.2

AT Commands Reference Manual
Handling of Invalid Numbers and S-Parameter Values
The modem reacts to undefined numbers and S-parameter values in one of three ways:
1. Issue the ERROR result code, and leave the previous value of the parameter
unchanged;
2. Issue the OK result code, and leave the previous value of the parameter unchanged;
or,
3. Issue the OK result code, and set the parameter value to the valid value nearest to
that specified in the command line.
The description of each command specifies which of these three techniques is used to
handle invalid parameter values for that command or parameter.
Modem Responses
While in command state and online command state, the modem will issue responses
using the same rate, word length, and parity as the most recently received DTE command
line. In the event that no DTE command has yet been received, rate, word length, and
parity used will depend on the capabilities of the modem.
When the modem transitions from the command state or online command state to the
online data state, the result code CONNECT should be issued at the bit rate and parity
used during the command state. When the modem transitions from the online data state to
the command state or online command state, the result codes should be issued at the bit
rate used during the online data state. Thereafter, any unsolicited result codes should use
the bit rate and parity of the last command line issued by the DTE to the modem.
2.7.1
The characters of a response will be contiguous, with no more than 100 milliseconds of
mark idle issued between characters in addition to stop elements.
Responses
There are two types of responses that may be issued by the modem: information text and
result codes.
Information Text. Information text responses consist of three parts: a header,
information text, and a trailer:
1. The characters transmitted for the header are determined by the V command.
2. The trailer consists of two characters, being the character having the ordinal value of
parameter S3 followed by the character having the ordinal value of parameter S4.
3. Information text usually consists of a single line; information text returned in
response to some commands may contain multiple lines, and the text may therefore
include CR, LF, and other formatting characters to improve readability.
Result Code Parts. Result codes consist of three parts: a header, the result text, and a
trailer.
1. The characters transmitted for the header and trailer are determined by the V
command setting.
2. The result text may be transmitted as a number or as a string, also depending on a the
V command setting.
100722B
Conexant
2-9
2.7.2
AT Commands Reference Manual
Result Code Types. There are three types of result codes: final, intermediate, and
unsolicited. Result codes are described in Section 3.5.
1. A final result code indicates the completion of a full modem action and a ability to
accept new commands from the DTE.
2.
An intermediate result code is a report of the progress of an modem action. The
CONNECT result code is an intermediate result code. In the case of a dialing or
answering command, the modem switches from command state to online data state,
and issues a CONNECT result code. This is an intermediate result code for the
modem because it cannot accept commands from the DTE while in online data state.
When the modem switches back to the command state it then issues a final result
code (such as OK or NO CARRIER).
3. Unsolicited result codes (such as RING) indicate the occurrence of an event not
directly associated with the issuance of a command from the DTE.
Extended Syntax Result Codes
Extended syntax result codes may be issued in response to either basic or extended
commands, or both. The appropriate responses are specified in the definitions of the
commands, the responses, or both.
The general format of extended syntax result codes is the same as result codes defined in
TIA-602 with regard to headers and trailers. The characters specified in S-parameters S3
and S4 are used in headers and trailers of extended syntax result codes as they are in
basic format result codes. The setting of the V command affects the headers and trailers
associated with extended syntax result codes in the same manner as basic format result
codes; however, unlike basic format result codes, extended syntax result codes have no
numeric equivalent, and are always issued in alphabetic form.
Extended syntax result codes are subject to suppression by the Q1 command, as with
basic format result codes. The issuance of extended syntax result codes are not be
affected by the setting of the X command.
Extended syntax result codes may be either final, intermediate, or unsolicited; the type
being indicated in the definition of the result code.
Extended syntax result codes are prefixed by the "+" character to avoid duplication of
basic format result codes specified in TIA-602. Following the "+" character, the name of
the result code appears; result code names follow the same rules as command names.
Extended syntax result codes may include the reporting of values. The definition of the
result code specifies whether or not values are appended to the result code, and, if so,
how many, their types, and their assumed default values if omitted.
Data/voice Modes. When no values are to be reported, the result code appears in the
simplest form:
+<name>
If a single value is to be reported, the form of the result code is:
+<name>: <value>
A single space character separates the colon character from the <value>; no space
appears between the result code name and the colon. If multiple values are to be reported
with the result code, the form is:
+<name>: <compound_value>
2-10
Conexant
100722B
2.7.3
AT Commands Reference Manual
Fax Modes. If a single value is to be reported, the form of the result code is:
<value> or (<value>)
+<name>: <compound_value>Information Text Formats for Test Commands
In general, the format of information text returned by extended syntax commands is
described in the definition of the command.
The modem may insert intermediate <CR> characters in very long information text
responses in order to avoid overrunning DTE receive buffers. If intermediate <CR>
characters are included, the modem does not include the character sequences "0 <CR>"or
"OK<CR>", so that DTE can avoid false detection of the end of these information text
responses.
Range of Values
When the action accepts a single numeric subparameter, or the parameter accepts only
one numeric value, the set of supported values may be presented in the information text
as an ordered list of values. The list is preceded by a left parenthesis (() , and is followed
by a right parenthesis ()). If only a single value is supported, it appears between the
parentheses. If more than one value is supported, then the values may be listed
individually, separated by comma characters, or, when a continuous range of values is
supported, by the first value in the range, followed by a hyphen character (-), followed by
the last value in the range. The specification of single values and ranges of values may be
intermixed within a single information text. In all cases, the supported values are
indicated in ascending order.
For example, the following are some examples of value range indications:
(0)Only the value 0 is supported.
(1,2,3)The values 1, 2, and 3 are supported.
(1-3)The values 1 through 3 are supported.
(0,4,5,6,9,11,12)The several listed values are supported.
(0,4-6,9,11-12)An alternative expression of the above list.
Compound Range of Values
When the action accepts more than one subparameter, or the parameter accepts more than
one value, the set of supported values is presented as a list of the parenthetically-enclosed
value range strings described above, separated by commas. For example, the information
text in response to testing an action that accepts three subparameters, and supports
various ranges for each of them, could appear as follows:
(0),(1-3),(0,4-6,9,11-12)
This indicates that the first subparameter accepts only the value 0, the second accepts any
value from 1 through 3 inclusive, and the third subparameter accepts any of the values 0,
4, 5, 6, 9, 11, or 12.

Data Command Set
Command Guidelines
The commands used to control and report modem operation in data modem mode are
defined in this section.
The Data Modem Mode commands and responses described in this section are applicable
when command +FCLASS=0. (See Section 3.2.1 for the definition of the FCLASS
command.)
The default values are typical of a fully configured modem supporting all data rates and
options. The actual default value is dependent upon installed modem firmware and
country specific parameters.
Commands are accepted by the modem once the previous command has been fully
executed, which is normally indicated by the return of an appropriate result code.
Execution of commands D and A, either as a result of a direct command or a re-execute
command, will be aborted if another character is entered before completion of the
handshake.
3.1.1
3.2
Escape Code Sequence
When the modem has established a connection and has entered on-line data mode, it is
possible to break into the data transmission in order to issue further commands to the
modem in an on-line command mode. This is achieved by the DTE sending to the modem
a sequence of three ASCII characters specified by register S2. The default character is '+'.
The maximum time allowed between receipt of the last character of the three escape
character sequence from the DTE and sending of the OK result code to the DTE is
controlled by the S12 register.
Data Commands
The modem will respond to the commands detailed below. Parameters applicable to each
command are listed with the command description. The defaults shown for each

The linear flash memory uploader allows flash memory connected to the modem external
memory bus to be upgraded with revised modem firmware. This process transfers
(uploads) the upgraded modem firmware (data) from the host computer to the modem
which transfers the data to the flash memory device. The linear flash memory downloader
allows the flash memory connected to the modem external memory bus to read and
saved. This process transfers (downloads) the current modem firmware (data) to the host
computer. Uploading new firmware to the flash memory or downloading existing
firmware from the flash memory device is a two-step process.
1. When the AT** command is issued, the modem firmware boot loader is invoked and
the user will first load a flash load module (FLM) into the modem's RAM. If the user
wishes to upload new firmware to the modem, he should load the uploader FLM. If
the user wishes to download existing firmware from the modem, he should load the
downloader FLM. In either case, the data transfer is done via an ASCII transfer. The
FLM contains the programming algorithm for the flash memory device being
programmed and any messages that may be sent during the load process.
2. If the user wishes to upload new firmware to the modem, then he will then load the
new modem firmware which the uploader FLM will then program into the flash
memory device. This transfer is done via XMODEM transfer. If the user wishes to
download existing firmware from the modem, then he will set up the host PC for
XMODEM receive and the downloader FLM will begin to send the existing
firmware from the flash memory to the host PC.
Procedure
1. Install in the modem a flash memory programmed with the modem firmware or a
blank flash memory.
2. Put the uploader FLM and downloader FLM files and the new modem firmware file
(e.g., XmUL003.s37, XmDL003.s37, and 206s4712.S37) in an appropriate directory
on the computer's hard disk.
3. Configure the communications application program for a DTE rate of between 9600
bps and 115200 bps and RTS/CTS flow control.
4. Check the modem for response by typing AT.
5. Initiate the download process using the AT** command. The "Download flash
code…" message appears upon issuing the AT** command.
6. Perform an ASCII transfer of the FLM file (e.g., XmUL003.s37 for uploading new
firmware to the modem or XmDL003.s37 for downloading existing firmware from
the modem) from the host computer to the modem RAM using an industry standard
communications software or an equivalent process (ensure that all ASCII translation
or pacing is turned off).
7. After the FLM has been loaded, if uploading new firmware to the modem, perform
an XMODEM upload of the new modem firmware hex file (e.g., 206s4712.S37)
from the host computer to the modem RAM using an industry standard
communications software or an equivalent process. If downloading existing
firmware from the modem, using an industry standard communications software or
equivalent, put the host PC in XMODEM receive mode.

this occurs, the FLM will abort and not allow the user to continue.
Displayed by the FLM at the completion of a successful upload or
download then the modem will do a cold start.
The uploader and downloader flash load modules (FLM) have several built in safety
mechanisms to reduce the risk of a failed flash upload/download. The FLM will not allow
a user to upload a firmware of different model (serial, parallel, etc.) or crystal speed than
what is currently in the flash memory. Also, it will not allow the user to upload a
firmware that is larger in size than the flash memory itself (e.g., a 2Mbit firmware onto a
1Mbit flash memory). It will, however, allow the user to upload a firmware that is smaller
in size than the flash memory, and it will program the firmware with the appropriate
offset in order for the firmware to function properly. In the instance that there is a failure
during the download or upload process, the modem will be in a “flash rescue mode”. In
this mode, the modem will respond “OK” to all AT commands, but will only take action

3-45
AT Commands Reference Manual
When off-hook and either an extension is picked up or a line reversal is detected, the
modem will drop the connection. The disconnect reason in register S86=25 (this is also
defined for #UD). The user must flash the hook in order to get a dial tone due because
the remote server will be retraining.
If the local handset is picked up while the modem is off-hook, the modem will do a linkdisconnect, flash the hook for 1.5 seconds, then connect the local handset to the line. At
this point, the user dial tone should be on the local handset. The disconnect reason in
S86=25.
Behavior in Voice Mode (+FCLASS=8)
When in voice mode and an extension is picked-up, a <DLE>P is sent to the DTE. When
the modem is off-hook , a line reversal may also be detected in which case a <DLE>l is
sent to the DTE.
In voice mode, there is no blocking of ATDT when the line is in use. Also, there is no
automatic hang-up in voice mode as in data mode. There is only the above stated <DLE>
shielding event reporting.
Operation in Data Mode
Line-In-Use (Enabled by AT-STE=1, AT-STE=3, AT-STE=5, or AT-STE=7)
Case 1: Telephone Line is in Use
If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is enabled and the
telephone line is in use, the modem will immediately return the message LINE-IN-USE
to the DTE without going off-hook, and then return to command mode.
Case 2: Telephone Line is in Use But Disconnected
If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is enabled and the
telephone line is NOT in use, the modem will go off-hook after a short pause, then
respond with CONNECT or NO CARRIER message.
Case 3: Telephone Line is Not Connected to Modem
If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is enabled and the
telephone line is not connected, the modem will go off-hook momentarily, go back onhook, then respond with NO DIAL TONE message.
Extension Pick-up (Enabled by AT-STE=2, AT-STE=3, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7):
Case 1: Modem off-hook, Local Handset Goes Off-Hook
If the local handset goes off-hook while the modem is in a data connection, the local
handset will be muted. The modem will then send a GSTN Cleardown to the remote
modem and then go on-hook. The modem will then send a NO CARRIER message to the
DTE. A result code of 25 will be left in S86 register. After 2 seconds, the local handset
will be connected to the telephone line so the user hears the dial tone.
3-46
Conexant
100722B
AT Commands Reference Manual
Case 2: Modem off-hook, Extension Pick-up
If the modem is connected and another extension goes off-hook, the modem will send a
GSTN Cleardown to the remote modem and then immediately hang-up. Due to the noise
possibly being added to the line when a telephone extension is picked-up, a GSTN
Cleardown may or may not successfully be received by the remote mode. If the GSTN
Cleardown is not received successfully by the remote modem, the remote modem may
attempt a retrain until the retrain fails and the remote modem drops the line. In any case,
the modem will send a NO CARRIER message to the DTE immediately after sending the
GSTN Cleardown. A result code of 25 will be left in the S86 register.
Because the extension is off-hook, the modem cannot flash the hook for the central office
to generate a dial tone. In this case, the user must flash the extension handset to obtain a
dial tone.
Remote Hang-up (enabled by AT-STE=4, AT-STE=5, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7):
Case 1: Modem off-hook, Remote Hang-up
If the modem is connected (off-hook) and the remote modem/server goes hangs up, the
central office may issue a line polarity reversal. If a line polarity reversal is detected, the
modem will drop the call and respond with NO CARRIER. The reason for hang-up can
be determined by #UD or by S86=25. A line reversal can also be simulated by simply
pulling out the telephone line during a connection.
Operation in Voice Mode
Line-In-Use (enabled by AT-STE=1, AT-STE=3, AT-STE=5, or AT-STE=7):
This feature does not apply in voice mode.
Extension Pickup (Enabled by AT-STE=2, AT-STE=3, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7)
If the modem is off-hook and an extension goes off-hook, the modem issues a <DLE>P
to the DTE. The application software should then hang up the line (VLS=0).
Remote Hang-up (Enabled by AT-STE=4, AT-STE=5, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7)
If the modem is off-hook and the remote user goes on-hook, the modem issues a
<DLE>P to the DTE. The application software should then hang up the line (VLS=0).

<carrier>A string which specifies the preferred modem carrier to use in
originating or answering a connection. <carrier> values are
strings of up to eight characters, consisting only of numeric
digits and upper case letters. <carrier> values for ITU standard
modulations take the form: <letter><1-4 digits><other letters
as needed>. Defined values are listed in Table 3-3.
<automode>A numeric value which enables or disables automatic
modulation negotiation (e.g., ITU-T V.32bis Annex A or V.8).
0 =Automode disabled.
1 =Automode enabled. (Default.)
<min_rx_rate> and <max_rx_rate>
Numeric values which specify the lowest (<min_rx_rate>) and
highest (<max_rx_rate>) rate at which the modem may
establish a receive connection. May be used to condition
distinct limits for the receive direction as distinct from the
transmit direction. Values for this subparameter are decimal
encoded, in units of bit/s. The possible values for each
modulation are listed in Table 3-3. Actual values will be
limited to possible values corresponding to the entered
<carrier> and fall-back <carrier> as determined during
operation. (Default = lowest (<min_rx_rate>) and highest
(<max_rx_rate>) rate supported by the selected carrier.)
<min_tx_rate> and <max_tx_rate>
Numeric values which specify the lowest (<min_tx_rate>) and
highest (<max_tx_rate>) rate at which the modem may
establish a transmit connection. Non-zero values for this
subparameter are decimal encoded, in units of bit/s. The
possible values for each modulation are listed in Table 3-3.
Actual values will be limited to possible values corresponding
to the entered <carrier> and fall-back <carrier> as determined
during operation. (Default = lowest (<min_tx_rate>) and
highest (<max_tx_rate>) rate supported by the selected
carrier.)
This extended-format numeric parameter controls whether or not the extended-format
+MCR:<carrier> and +MRR:<rate> intermediate result codes are transmitted from the
modem to the DTE. If enabled, +MCR:<carrier> and +MRR:<rate> intermediate result
codes represent the current (negotiated or renegotiated) modulation <carrier> and <rate>
that are transmitted at the point during connect negotiation (handshaking) at which the
modem has determined which modulation and rate will be used, i.e., before any Error
Control or Data Compression reports are transmitted, and before any final result code
(e.g., CONNECT) is transmitted.
S95 bit 2 is reset to 0 for +MR=0 and is set to a 1 for +MR=1 or +MR=2. The more

Fallback/Fall Forward. When %E2 is active, the modem monitors the line quality
(EQM). When line quality is insufficient, the modem will initiate a rate renegotiation to a
lower speed within the V.34/V.32 bis/V.32 (RC336) modulation speeds. The modem will
keep falling back within the current modulation if necessary until the speed reaches 2400
bps (V.34) or 4800 bps (V.32). Below this rate, the modem will only do retrains if EQM
thresholds are exceeded. If the EQM is sufficient for at least one minute, the modem will
initiate a rate renegotiation to a higher speed within the current modulation speeds. The
rate renegotiations will be done without a retrain if a V.32 bis connection is established.
Speeds attempted during fallback/fall forward are those shown to be available in the rate
sequences exchanged during the initial connection. Fallback/fall forward is available in
error correction and normal modes, but not in direct mode or synchronous mode with

+ER: <type>
The +ER: <type> reported represents the current (negotiated or renegotiated) modemmodem error control type. If enabled, the intermediate result code is transmitted at the
point during error control negotiation (handshaking) at which the modem has determined
which error control protocol will be used (if any), before the final result code (e.g.,
CONNECT) is transmitted. The format of this result code is:
The +ER intermediate result code, if enabled, is issued after the Modulation report
(+MCR and +MRR) and before the Data Compression Report (+DR).
Syntax
+ER: <type>
Defined Values
<type>An alphanumeric code corresponding to the selected protocol.

+ETBM - Call Termination Buffer Management
This extended-format compound parameter controls the handling of data remaining in
modem buffers upon call termination. It accepts three numeric subparameters:
Syntax
+ETBM=[<pending_TD>[,<pending_RD>[,<timer>]]]
Defined Values
<pending_TD>Decimal number 0 specifying that disconnect will occur
immediately and all buffered transmit data will be discarded
when the local DTE requests call disconnection.
<pending_RD>Decimal number 0 specifying that disconnect will occur
immediately and all buffered receive data will be discarded
when the local DTE requests call disconnection.
<timer>Decimal number 0 specifying that the modem will not attempt
to deliver the buffered data before abandoning the attempt and
discarding remaining data.
In non-error correction mode, the modem will transmit a break signal to the remote
modem with a length in multiples of 100 ms according to parameter specified. If a
number in excess of 9 is entered, 9 is used. The command works in conjunction with the
\K command.
In error correction mode, the modem will signal a break through the active error
correction protocol, giving no indication of the length.
Syntax
\B<value>
Defined Values
<value>Decimal number corresponding to the selected option.
1-9Break length in 100 ms units. (Default = 3.)
(Non-error corrected mode only.)
Result Codes
OKIf connected in data modem mode.
NO CARRIERIf not connected or connected in fax modem mode.
Note: When the modem receives a break from the remote modem, break is passed to the
DTE as follows: In non-error correction mode direct, the break length is passed; in nonerror correction mode normal and in error correction mode, a 300 ms break is passed.

\K - Break Control
Controls the response of the modem to a break received from the DTE or the remote
modem or the \B command. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S40 bits 3, 4, and
5.
Syntax
\K<value>
Defined Values
<value>Decimal number corresponding to the selected option.
The response is different in three separate states.
The first state is where the modem receives a break from the
DTE when the modem is operating in data transfer mode:

This section contains parameters to condition modem use of standard ITU-T V.42bis
Data Compression Procedures.
+DS - Data Compression
This extended-format compound parameter controls the V.42bis data compression
function if provided in the modem. It accepts four numeric subparameters:
<direction>Specifies the desired direction(s) of operation of the data
compression function; from the DTE point of view.
0Negotiated; no compression (V.42bis P0=0).
3both directions, accept any direction (V.42bis
P0=11). (Default.)
<compr_neg>Specifies whether or not the modem should continue to
operate if the desired result is not obtained.
0Do not disconnect if V.42bis is not negotiated by
the remote modem as specified in <direction>.
<max_dict>Specifies the maximum number of dictionary entries (2048
entries) which should be negotiated (may be used by the DTE
to limit the codeword size transmitted, based on its knowledge
of the nature of the data to be transmitted).

+DR - Data Compression Reporting
This extended-format numeric parameter controls whether or not the extended-format
+DR: intermediate result code is transmitted from the modem to the DTE.
S95 bit 5 is reset to 0 for +DR=0 and is set to a 1 for +DR=1. The more recent setting of
+DR or S95 bit 5, and the W command setting, determines the actual data compression
result code reporting (see S95 Parameter and W Command).
Syntax

V.8/V.8bis Commands
+A8E - V.8 and V.8bis Operation Controls
This command is defined for two conditions: as a parameter while the modem is on-hook,
and as an action command while the modem is off-hook. If enabled, V.8 negotiation does
not preclude simultaneous implementation of other negotiation means (e.g., V.8bis, V.18,
V.32bis Annex A).
This command is a compound parameter if issued while the modem is on-hook, used to
precondition V.8 and V.8bis originating and answering operation. It is issued by the DTE
before the Dial (D) or Answer (A) command, regardless of the state of the +FCLASS
parameter.
This command is an action command if issued while the modem is off-hook, to (re)start
V.8 or V.8bis negotiation. For example, if initial V.8 negotiation failed, but subsequent
T.30 negotiation indicated V.8 capability, this command may be used to initiate V.8
negotiation.
<v8o>Decimal number which enables/disables issuance of +A8x
indications during modem-controlled V.8 origination
negotiation.
1Enable DCE-controlled V.8 origination
negotiation without +A8x indications. (Default.)
6Enable DCE-controlled V.8 origination
negotiation with +A8x indications.
<v8a>=Decimal number which enables/disables issuance of +A8x
indications during modem-controlled V.8 answer negotiation.
1Enable DCE-controlled V.8 answer negotiation
without +A8x indications. (Default.)
5Enable DCE-controlled V.8 answer negotiation
with +A8x indications.
<v8cf>=Set the V.8 CI signal call function to the hexadecimal octet
XY.
00(Default.)

<v8b>=Decimal number which enables/disables V.8bis negotiation.
0Disable V.8bis negotiation.
1Enable V.8bis negotiation. (Default.)

Default values:1,1,00,1,0,0
The ATD and ATA commands behave as specified in V.250, and +A8n indications are
not generated by the modem.
For subparameter values <v8o>=6 and <v8a>=5, the +A8I indications are issued during
the course of the V.8 session to notify the DTE when the relevant V.8 signals are
received.
Response:+A8E: (<v8o> range),(<v8a> range),(v8cf in octets),

+A8I: - CI Signal Indication
This indication is issued by an answering modem, if +A8E,<v8a> ≠ 0, to indicate
detection of a V.8 CI signal, and report the recovered Call Function octet(s).
Indication Syntax
+A8I:<v8cf><CR>
Defined Values
<v8cf>A hexadecimal code octet representation of those Call
Function octet(s). +A8I:0 indicates that the modem timed out
