Using Modem Commands
Entering a Command
Use the following guidelines when issuing modem commands:
•
When using AT commands, start every command line (except the A/, A>, and +++
commands) with the attention (AT) code characters; otherwise, the modem will not execute
the command.
•
Type commands following the AT prefix in uppercase or lowercase letters or a combination
of both.
•
Always type the AT prefix in the same case (not At or aT).
•
Enter telephone numbers with or without punctuation; for example,
(123) 456-7890
Editing and Executing a Command
If you make an error while typing a command, simply backspace over the mistake, then retype.
You cannot backspace over the AT prefix because it is interpreted immediately after it is typed.
1234567890
or
To execute a command line, press the
process the command line.)
Enter key. (Pressing the Enter key tells the modem to
Omitting a Parameter in a Command Line
If you enter a command that normally includes a numeric parameter, such as ATHn, without the
numeric parameter, the missing parameter is assumed to be the default parameter.
For example, the Hn (hang-up) command can have a numeric parameter of zero (H0), which is the
default, or of one (H1); however, if the parameter is missing, ATH plus the Enter key is the
equivalent of ATH0 plus the Enter key. This rule does not apply to the D (dial) command.
Repeating a Command
You can repeat the last command line issued by entering the A/ command. Because it also repeats
the AT prefix and the Enter key function, you are not required to enter the AT prefix or press the
Enter key when repeating this command.
The last command entered remains in the command buffer until the modem is reset or power to
the modem is turned off. Both actions clear the buffer and make the A/ command invalid since
there is no command for the modem to repeat.

Understanding Result Codes
A result code is the modem response to a command. It may be issued in either of two possible
formats: words (the long form, also known as verbose) or numeric characters (the short form,
represented by digits). The result code format is set using the Vn command:
•
V1 for words (default)
•
V0 for numeric characters
Using Online Mode
In the online mode, the transmitting modem receives characters from the computer, converts the
data to analog signals, then transmits these signals over the telephone line.
The process of altering a signal for transmission is called modulation. The receiving modem
receives analog signals from the telephone when in the online mode and converts or demodulates
the signal, returning it to the digital form that can be used by the computer.
Escaping from an Online Session to the Command Mode
Use the following steps to break out of a data transfer session (online mode) and return to
command mode:
1. Press and hold the
2. An OK result code is displayed.
3. Enter modem commands as needed.
4. Resume online session by entering AT0 command or terminate the connection with the
ATH0 command.
Shift key and type +++.
Creating a Command Mode Shortcut
An easy way to issue commands to the modem is via HyperTerminal, included with Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows NT. You can create a shortcut for accessing HyperTerminal and
sending commands to the modem. To create a command mode shortcut on the Windows desktop:
1. Create a Command Mode icon.
2. From the HyperTerminal dialog box, click the Command icon.
3. Select File ➪ Create Shortcut
or
Click the right mouse button.
4. A Command Mode Shortcut icon is displayed.

5. Select and drag the shortcut icon to the desktop.
6. To quit HyperTerminal, Select File ➪ Exit.

To create a command mode icon using HyperTerminal:
1. If you are using Windows 95 or Windows NT:
select Start ➪ Programs ➪ Accessories ➪ HyperTerminal.
If you are using Windows 98:
select Start ➪ Programs ➪ Accessories ➪ Communications ➪HyperTerminal.
2. Double-click the Hypertrm.exe icon.
3. The Connection Description dialog box is displayed.
4. Type Command in the Name option.
5. Click OK.
6. The Phone Number dialog box is displayed.
7. Select Connect Using ➪ Direct to COM2.
8. Click OK.
9. The Modem Port Settings dialog box is displayed.
10. Click OK.
11. The command mode screen is displayed with a blinking cursor in the upper-left corner.
Commands can now be sent to the modem, and the modem responds with a result code.
12. Click File, then Save to save the session.
13. Click File, then Exit to quit.
14. A command mode icon is displayed in the HyperTerminal dialog box.

AT Command Descriptions
+++ Escape sequence
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter online command
mode. While in online 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 of 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.
$ Display AT Command List
Displays a basic AT command list as well as online Help.
A/ Repeat Last Command
Causes the modem immediately to repeat the previous command such as redialing a
telephone number. The previously executed command remains in the command buffer
until AT is entered or power is turned off. Both actions clear the buffer and make the A/
command invalid since there is no command to repeat. It is not necessary to enter either a
<cr> or AT.
A> Repeat Last Command
Causes the modem to continuously repeat the previous command such as redialing a
telephone number. It is not necessary to enter either a <cr> or AT.
A Answer Command
Causes the modem to answer a call without waiting for a ring. This is useful in manually
answering a call or when making a direct connection with another modem.
Bn Communication Standard Setting
This command is used to answer certain types of calls. A setting of "0" causes the
modem to use the standard ITU-T answer sequence. This is required to answer all V.34
type calls, as well as calls from overseas. A setting of "1" is commonly used to answer
legacy HST-type calls. It should not be used to answer V.34 calls.
B0 ITU-T V.34 answer sequence (default).
0203-0799-A
B1 U.S answer tone.
Result Codes:
OK n = 0, 1.
ERROR Otherwise.

Dn Dial
This is the standard Dial command, which is commonly appended with "T" or "P" for
tone or pulse dialing, respectively.
The following may be used as dial string modifiers:
n Phone number, 0 through 9.
L Redials last number. Should be the first character following ATD, ignored
otherwise.
P Pulse dialing.
T Touch-Tone dialing.
R Call an originate-only modem.
, 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.
@ Wait for answer.
! Hook flash. Causes the modem to go on-hook for 0.5 second and then return to
off-hook.
# Auxiliary tone dial digit.
* Auxiliary tone dial digit.
; Return to command mode. Causes the modem to return to command mode after
dialing the number without disconnecting the call.
S=n Dial a telephone number previously stored using the &Zn=x command (see the
&Zn=x Store Telephone Number command for further information). The range
of n is 0 - 3.
& Wait for credit card bong.
$ Display list of dial commands.
En Character Echo Command
This command controls whether the characters entered from your computer keyboard are
echoed back to your monitor while the modem is in command mode.
E0 Turn command echo off..
E1 Turn command echo on (default).
