56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
1.INTRODUCTION
The MD566X Programmer’s Guide describes the software interface of Intel’s V.90/V.92 56K
solution. The programmer’s guide includes the AT command sets for data, fax, and voice and the
16C450/16C550A UART emulation. The programmer’s guide should be used with the following
Intel publications: the MD566X Datasheet, the IS-101 Voice Application Note, and the Class 1 Fax Application Note. Please note that supported AT commands are firmware revision-dependent.
IMPORTANT: The AT commands in this document are supported by firmware versions
6.06 and above for V.90 and 7.XX for V.92.
Like the earlier solutions from Intel, the V.90/V.92 56K family of products supports a variety of
applications without the need of additional firmware development. The MD566X solutions
described in Table 1-1 are currently available except as noted.
Intel® MD566X chipsets default to the ITU-T V.90 or V.92 data transmission mode depending on
the firmware version. The V.90/V.92 mode allows receive data rates of up to 56 kbps over the
PSTN (public switched telephone network) only in connections with equipment-compatible ISPs
(Internet Service Providers); however, FCC regulations limit receive speeds to 53,333 kbps due to
excessive power demands at higher speeds. In modem-to-modem connections V.90/V.92 mode falls
back to the V.34 mode in both the transmit and receive directions.
1.2Modem Connection Overview
The DCE (modem) operates in one of two states: command or online. In each state, both data and
commands (including DCE responses) are transferred through the UART THR (Transmit Holding
register) and the RBR (Receiver Buffer register).
The modem defaults to the command state. In the command state, the DTE (host) communicates to
the modem through AT commands and S-registers. AT commands are character strings that help
guide modem operation. S-registers are internal modem registers that the DTE can access. The Sregisters contain modem status and configuration information. Many of the AT commands
indirectly affect the contents of the S-registers. The MD566X’s AT command set and S-registers
are divided into the following modes: Group 3 fax, data, V.42/MNP, voice. See Chapter 2 on page 8
for command table summaries.
All command lines sent to the modem, except for A/, must be preceded by an ‘AT’ (which stands
for ‘attention’) and terminated by the contents of S-register S3 (typically a carriage return <CR>).
The ‘AT’ prompts the modem to receive a command line from the DTE. A <CR> informs the
modem that the entire command string has been transmitted and that the modem should start
processing all the commands within the command line.
A command line may include one or more AT commands that may or may not be separated by a
space. AT commands may be either upper- or lower-case characters, but all characters for a given
command must use the same case. If there are multiple commands in a line, a semicolon (;) must be
placed after each fax or voice command. The modem can be configured to send back (echo) to the
DTE any data that the DTE sends to the modem (while in command state only). The last command
may be repeated by typing A/ without using a carriage return. Each command line may include up
to 80 characters and spaces.
Examples of AT command strings:
ATS1?<CR>
A/
AT &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=? <CR>
AT &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=?; S0=1 <CR>
The modem provides status information to the DTE in the form of response codes. These response
codes can be expressed in text or numeric form. The supported response codes for V.90 mode are
provided in Table 2-10 on page 21 and V.34 response codes are included in Table 2-11 on page 22.

Examples of modem responses:
OK
ERROR
CONNECT 28800
0
In the online state, the DCE is off-hook and communicating with a remote modem. Any data sent
from the DTE to the DCE is transmitted to the remote modem. Similarly, any data that the DCE
receives from the remote modem is transmitted to the DTE.
Note:In the online state, the DCE does not ‘echo-back’ any of the data that the DTE sent to the DCE.
The modem recognizes AT commands from the DTE at any valid data rate from 300 bps to 115,200
bps (that is, the modem autobauds up to 115,200 bps); however, the DTE should use the data rate
specified for each mode according to the transmitting direction — DTE-to-modem (Table 1-2) or
modem-to-modem (Table 1- 3).

Each command may have one or more parameters associated with it. If a parameter is not sent for a
command requiring a numeric parameter, then the modem assumes a zero (“0”) parameter (only if
zero is a valid parameter for the command). For example, ATZ and ATZ0 commands perform
identical functions (that is, the modem sees ‘ATZ’ and automatically uses the ‘0’ parameter during
processing the command). Other commands do not use parameters.

56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
3.BASIC DATA MODE AT COMMANDS
The 56K FastPath chipsets implement:
• Standard TIES-compatible AT commands and S-registers in data mode
• Standard EIA/TIA-578 AT commands in Class 1 fax mode
• Additional AT command sets for error correction, data compression and voice mode
In data mode, the AT commands configure the DCE (modem) to establish a connection with a
remote data modem. In data mode, the MD566X executes the AT commands for error
correction (MNP 2-4, V.42) and data compression (MNP 5, V.42 bis) described in Table 4- 2 o n
page 66, as well as the fax and voice mode commands AT+FCLASS=1 (fax) and
AT+FCLASS=8 (voice).
3.1Using AT Commands to Access the S-Registers [Sn?, Sn=x,
?]
The DTE can access the S-registers through the ATSn?, ATS n= x, and ? commands. For
example, to configure the modem to automatically answer a data modem call after two rings,
type ATS0=2.
Examples:
ATS0=2Configures S-register S0 to “2”
ATS0?Reads the contents of S-register S0
ATS0=Configures S-register S0 to “0”
AT?Reads the contents of the last accessed
(read or write) S-register
3.2Modem Responses and Command Echo [En, Vn, Xn, Wn,
Qn]
The ATEn command configures the DCE to send back to the DTE any data that the DTE sent
to the DCE while in command mode. The ATVn command sets the DCE response codes to
either text or numeric form. For example, upon successfully processing an AT command
string, the DCE sends an “OK” (text) or a “0” (numeric) to the DTE.
Examples:

<CR><LF>
Configure the DCE to use different response codes using the ATW n command (see page 49). The
setting for the ATXn command (page 50) can affect which ATWn response codes are reported to
the DCE. The ATX n command configures the modem call progress detection and reporting
requirements during dialing (for example, dial tone and busy tone detection). The ATQn command
selects whether the modem sends result codes to the DTE.
For example, a connection is established with the remote modem as shown below (with LAPM
error correction and V.42 bis data compression). The telephone line (or modem-to-modem
connection) data rate is 33,600 bps and the local UART (DTE-to-modem) connection rate is
115,200 bps.

The modem then sends the “CONNECT” messages for the following three Wn commands:
On powering-up, the DCE defaults to the configuration specified in NVRAM. The DCE may then
be configured as needed. The DTE stores the DCE configuration in the NVRAM by first setting up
the current configuration and then sending an AT&Wn command. The DCE configuration stored
in the NVRAM is called a user profile. Two independent user profile configurations and four
telephone numbers can be stored. Either user profile configuration can be used for the power-up
defaults (AT& Yn). While in command mode, the DCE can be re-initialized at any time and the
user profile changed using the ATZn command. To configure the modem to factory defaults, the
AT&F command is used. A summary of the active user profile, two NVRAM user profiles, and

previously-saved telephone numbers can be read from the modem using the view command,
AT&Vn. The AT&Zn=x command stores one of four telephone numbers in the NVRAM. To dial
these telephone numbers, use the ATDS=n command.
If the active profile is not stored in one of the two user profiles after setting up the modem, then the
current settings are lost when the commands ATZ or AT&F are issued or when the modem is
powered down.

The modem provides product identification AT commands that help determine the modem’s
manufacturer, model number, and product revision. To provide flexibility with older software
application programs, the modem supports several commands that can be used to request a single
item of identification (such as a modem model number). Table 3 -1 lists the commands used to
obtain product information (all identification commands are usable in data, fax, or voice mode).

3.5Establishing a Modem Connection [A, D, DS = n, S0]
Data mode provides several methods for establishing a connection with a remote modem. For each
modem, a connection can be initiated manually or automatically in both answer and originate
modes. A manual-to-manual connection is useful when both modems (that are on-hook) are
connected to an off-hook telephone line. For example, if two people are talking on the telephone,
they can manually establish a modem connection without first hanging up. When establishing a
manual connection, one modem must be designated as the originating modem and the other as the
answering modem. Manual originate mode is initiated by sending an ATD to the DCE. Manual
answer mode is accomplished by sending an ATA to the DCE.
Automatic originate mode is initiated by sending an ATD <telephone number & dial modifiers>
or ATD S=n to the DCE. Automatic-answer mode is accomplished by setting S-register S0 to a
non-zero value. S1 keeps track of how many ring signals are detected. If the content of S0 is nonzero and the number of ring signals (as defined by S0) are detected (that is, S1 = S0), then the DCE
goes off-hook and attempts to connect to the remote modem (with the following exceptions):
1) The time period between the ring signals is greater than 8 seconds, which causes
the S1 counter to reset and thus never reach the value for S0.
2) Caller ID is enabled and S0=1, the modem answers on the second ring signal
instead of the first ring signal. This happens because Caller ID puts a signal on the
telephone line between the first and second ring signal.

3.6Online Command Mode [Escape Codes, On]
After establishing a connection with a remote modem, the DTE sends the appropriate escape
sequence to the DCE, which causes the DCE to enter the online command mode. The online
command mode is used to send AT commands to the DCE while the DCE is still connected to the
remote modem. The supported escape sequences are described in Section 3.10. To re-enter the
online data mode, use the ATOn command.
Example:
1 second +++ Hayes Escape Sequence. Guard times (in which the
1 secondthe DCE) of 1 second are needed before and after the
+++AT<CR>TIES (Time Independent Escape Sequence).
ATOCauses the modem to re-enter online data mode.
3.7Hanging Up [Hn, S10, Zn, &D2]
A modem connection terminates when the modem hangs up or when the remote modem transmit
carrier is off longer than the duration specified in S-register S10. To hang up, the DTE typically
sends an escape code sequence that causes the DCE to enter online command mode. Upon
receiving an “OK” message, the DTE sends either ATH or ATZ n to the DCE. When the AT& D2
command is used, the modem goes on-hook (hangs up) after an on-to-off transition of the DTR
occurs.
DTE does not send data to
three escape characters “+”.
Note:The ATZ n command causes the DCE to hang up and re-initialize itself to the user profile specified
by ‘n’.
3.8Modem-to-Modem Connection Data Rates
The data rates differ for each data mode selected. V.90 or V.92 is the default data mode depending
on the firmware version. For non-V.90 connections the chipsets fall back to V.34 mode. The
modem defaults to whatever mode is issued by the +MS=m command (see page 56). The
supported modulation types are listed in Table 3-2 on page 33. This table includes all modulation
types and the data rates for transmitting and receiving. In Data mode, the 56K chipsets can transmit
up to 48,000 bps (V.92 mode) or 33,600 bps (V.90 mode) and receive up to 53,333bps. Note that
the chipsets are capable of achieving 56,000 bps, but power limitations by the FCC limit actual
speeds to 53,333 bps. The 56K receive data rates can be achieved only in connections with
equipment-compatible ISPs (Internet Service Providers). In V.92 mode, the MD566X supports 3
new features: Quick Connect, Modem-on-Hold and Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) Upstream.
The Quick Connect (QC) feature reduces the time it takes to make a connection to your service
provider. The modem retains information of the line conditions from your previous connection and
uses this information to bypass parts of the training sequence. As a result, this provides faster
connections. Normal V.90 connections take about 25-30 seconds. With V.92 Quick Connect, your
connect times can be up to 50% faster.
28Intel ConfidentialProgrammer’s Guide
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
The V.92 Quick Connect feature is controlled by the +PSS and +PQC commands. The +PQC
command enables and disables the shorten phase 1 and or phase 2 startup procedures. The +PSS
command forces either a short or full startup procedure on the next and subsequent connections.
To enable the modem for V.92 Quick Connect, set +PSS=0 or 1 and +PQC=0. Refer to Table 3- 4.
for the detailed description of these commands.
The Modem-on-Hold (MOH) feature allows you to receive an incoming voice call and stay
connected to the Internet and then return online after your conversation without having to redial.
This is very convenient where the same phone line is used for voice calls and data connections. To
receive an incoming call as described above requires that you have the Call-Waiting service from
your telephone company. In addition, the Caller ID service from your telephone company is
recommended but not required for MOH. This feature allows you to determine who is calling. The
"hold" time for your incoming call is define by your service provide. The MOH feature also allows
you put you data connection on hold and initiate a voice call and then return online after
completing your voice conversation. These two scenarios are described in detail in the modem-onhold flow charts.
The following sequence describes how to configure the modem for MOH to process an incoming
voice call while online. First, MOH must be enabled. The +PMH and +PCW commands are used
to enable MOH and to capture the Call Waiting tone which is sent when the voice call comes in. To
enable MOH, set +PMH=0 and +PCW=0. Next, to enable Caller ID information (optional), by
setting +VCID=1. Now the modem is configured for the incoming call. When you receive the
incoming call, the modem will get a ring indication and the software/application will issue a
+++AT to put the modem in command mode. Then, you will be prompted to either "Accept" or
"Reject" the call based on the Caller ID information (if enabled). If you reject the call, an ATO
command is issued to perform a Quick Connect to stay online. If you accept the call, the data
connection is put on hold, and the modem send ad request to the server to go on hold using the
+PMHR command. The server will accept enable (1-13 returned) or reject(0 returned) the request.
If the server accepts the request to go on hold, the modem issues the +PMHF to flash the hook to
connect the call. Now you can answer the phone and talk. After completing your voice
conversation, the modem will issue another +PMHF and ATO command to initiate a Quick
Connect. If the server rejects the request to go on hold, the user can stay on line (ATO command
issued) or disconnect from his initial data connection (ATH command issued).
The next sequence describes how to initiate a voice call while online. First, enable the MOH
feature by setting +PMH=0. When online, the user can initiate a voice call by first issuing +++AT
to put the modem in command mode. Then request the server to go on hold by issuing the +PMHR
command. The server will either accept (1-13 returned) or reject(0 returned) the request. If the
server accepts the request to go on hold, the modem issues the +PMHF to flash the hook and get
dial tone. You can then make a voice call. After completing the voice conversation, the modem
will issue another +PMHF and ATO command to initiate a Quick Connect. If the server rejects the
request to go on hold, the user can stay on line (ATO command issued) or disconnect from his
initial data connection (ATH command issued). Refer to Table 3 -4 for the detailed description of
the V.92 commands.
The PCM Upstream feature allows you to upload data to the network up to 48,000 bps. This is an
improvement over the 33,600 bps maximum with V.90. This is beneficial when you are sending
large file, e-mail attachments and gaming on the Internet. The +PIG command is used to enable
and disable the PCM Upstream feature. To enable PCM Upstream, set +PIG=0. To disable PCM
Upstream, set +PIG=1.
Several V.34 modes are available (see Table 3 -2). These provide different speeds. For example,
V34B offers a modem-to-modem data rate of 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12,000, 14,400, 16,800,
19,200, 21,600, 24,000, 26,400, 28,800, 31,200, and 33,600 bps. For V.42, MNP, and Buffer
(Normal) modes, the modem provides speed buffering (see Chapter 4 starting on page 63), which
Programmer’s GuideIntel Confidential29
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
allows the DTE-to-modem data rate to be different from the modem-to-modem data rate. Users can
take advantage of this feature by setting the DTE-to-modem rate to a high speed like 115,200 bps
and letting the modem negotiate the best line rate.
The MD566X chipsets can be configured (by the +MS=m command) to support either
asymmetrical or symmetrical connections. The modem transmits and receives at the same speed in
symmetrical connections and at different speeds in asymmetrical mode. V.90 and V.92 connections
are always asymmetrical. V.34 mode connections can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Note
that the transmitter speed and receiver speeds typically are different for most V.34 connections over
the PSTN.

To configure the DTE-to-modem data rate (in data on-hook command mode), change the terminal
program COM port speed selection or write the appropriate divisor latch values for a given speed
to the UART Divisor Latch registers. Then send an AT<CR> or any other valid AT command to the
modem. The modem responds with an OK at the new data rate. All commands and modem
responses that follow use the new data rate.
Note:In command mode, the modem only changes its DTE-to-modem data rate after the Divisor Latch
register values change and the DTE sends a valid AT command.
The AT commands Bn, Nn, and +MS=m and S-register S37 define which modem-to-modem data
rates are supported by the modem. The following table shows the supported modulation types.
Each modulation supports one or more data rates.
Table 3-2.Supported Modulation Types
<carrier >Description
V21V.21 300 bps
V22V.22 1200 bps
V22BV.22 bis 1200 and 2400 bps
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
V23CV.23, with constant carrier; 1200 bps forward and 75 bps reverse
The allowable connection modulations and data rates are determined by the +MS=m command,
which uses four parameters: <carrier>, <automode>, <min rate>, and <max rate>.
The +MS=m <carrier> parameter defines the top modulation rate.
The <automode> parameter determines whether the modem connection is allowed to fall down to
a lower modulation rate if the connection can not be made at a specified modulation or if the
modem connection can only take place at the specified modulation. Setting <automode> to 1
allows the modem to connect at a slower <carrier> type than that specified. Setting <automode> to
0 allows the connection to use only the specified <carrier> type.
The <min rate> parameter defines the lowest data rate at which a modem connection can take
place. Setting <min rate> to 0 has one of two meanings depending on the <automode> setting.
When both <automode> and <min rate> are set to 0, then the lowest data rate at which the
connection can take place is the lowest data rate specified by the <carrier> parameter. If <automode> is set to 1 and <min rate> is set to 0, then the lowest data rate is 300 bps.
The <max rate> parameter defines the highest data rate at which a modem connection can take
place. If the <max rate> is set to 0, the modem uses the DTE data rate or a slower <carrier> data
rate as the highest permitted connection data rate. This highest-permitted data rate means the
modem attempts to connect at this data rate but may connect at a slower rate because of line
impairment. If <max rate> and <automode> are set to 0 and the DTE data rate is below the lowest
data rate supported by the modulation rate, then the modem’s connection attempts always fail, and
the modem reports a “NO CARRIER” message.
If the +MS=m parameters contain conflicting information like “+MS=V34,1,14400,0” with a DTE
data rate of 2400 bps, then the modem’s connection attempts always fail, and the modem reports a
“NO CARRIER” message. This happens for two reasons. First, when the modem receives the
+MS=m command, the modem does not check for conflicts of valid parameter information.
Secondly, some of the same configuration information is provided by two other commands: Nn and
S37. The command issued last takes precedence.
The Nn command specifies whether the modem should attempt to establish a connection using a
single modulation type or allow the connection to fall to a lower modulation type. Nn performs the
same function as the +MS=m <automode> parameter. Whatever command is issued last
configures the modem for any following connections. Thus, upon receiving the +MS=m command,
the modem changes the value for Nn.
When configured to N0, the modem only attempts a connection at the <carrier> rate specified by S37, +MS=m, and Bn. If the remote modem does not support any of the <carrier> data rates, the
modem does not achieve a connection and responds back with a “NO CARRIER” message.
When configured to N1, the modem attempts to connect to the remote modem at the highest speed,
as defined by S37, +MS=m, and Bn. Since not all modems support (or are configured for) the same
modem-to-modem data rates, the modems may connect at a lower speed.
same as
S37
34Intel ConfidentialProgrammer’s Guide
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
S-register S37 specifies the maximum data rate that can be attempted during a modem connection.
If S37 is set to ‘0’, then the modem looks at the DTE rate to determine the maximum connection
data rate. If the DTE data rate doesn’t match one of the <carrier> data rates, then the modem uses
the next-fastest data rate.
The +MS command sets the modulation speeds in the MD566X chipsets; however, to set the
modulation to either V.22 or Bell 212, the B0 or B1 command also must be sent. To set the
modulation type to ITU-T V.22, send the B0 command; to set the modulation type to Bell 212, send
B1. These commands can be entered before or after the +MS command. For example, to set the
modulation to ITU-T V.22:
+MS = V22, 1, 1200, 1200; B0
It is important to remember that the ordering of commands is important in configuring the modem.
For example, if the DTE 9600 bps data rate and the AT commands are issued in the following
sequence, different connection rates result:
1. ATS37 = 0 2. AT+MS = V32B, 1, 0, 14400
AT+MS = V32B, 1, 0, 14400ATS37 = 0
ATDT1234ATDT1234
CONNECT 14400CONNECT 9600
Table 3 -3 shows the resulting connection data rate when using non-default values. Because of
impairments on the telephone line, the actual connection speeds may be lower than the speeds
defined in this table.
For V.92, V.90 and V.34 modulations, the modem can receive data at a different data rate than the
transmit data rate. All other modulation types besides V.23 and V.34 use the same data rate for the
transmitter and receiver. Use ATW3 to see the modem’s actual receive and transmit data rates (the
modem must be configured for ATV1 text response codes). Table 3-3 shows examples of the
resulting connection rate when non-default values are used.

3.9Diagnostic Testing [S18, &Tn]
The &Tn command initiates loopback tests. Setting S-register S18 to a non-zero value determines
the length of testing after the modem receives the &Tn command. After the testing period elapses,
the modem halts the test and returns to command mode. To abort the test before the test timer has
timed out, enter the escape code sequence followed by AT& T0. Setting S18 to an ’0’ disables the
test timer. In this case, the loopback test continues to run until an escape code, followed by AT& T0
(or ATH ), is sent to the modem.
The modem provides a local analog loopback test (see Section 3.9.1) and local analog loopback
self-test (see Section 3.9.2) for testing modem-to-modem and DTE-to-modem communication
integrity in all modes except V.90 and V.92. After entering the loopback mode, the communication
integrity is checked by the DTE sending data to the modem and then checking the looped-back data
for errors. In addition, in the self-test mode the modem implements an internal data pattern
generator and checker that detects errors. When a data error occurs in self-test mode, the modem
increments an internal error counter. Upon completing the test, the modem sends a three-digit error
count to the DTE. These tests are illustrated in the following examples.

3.10 AT Escape Sequences
The 56K family provides the industry-standard Time Independent Escape Sequence (TIES). The
DTE sends the escape sequence to return the modem to command state while in the online data
state (that is, connected to another modem) or in diagnostic mode (&Tn commands).
Intel also makes the Hayes
statement regarding licensing requirements.
Licensing Requirements for Hayes Escape Sequence
The Intel 56K FastPath chipsets are manufactured with TIES as the default setting. It is Hayes’ position that you
must either have or obtain a valid license from Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc., of Norcross, Georgia, before
producing modem systems that use the Hayes Escape Sequence.
Intel accepts no responsibility and does not indemnify nor in any way provide protection for patent or possible patent
violations to its customers or users of its products.
∗
Escape Sequence available to customers; however, see the following
3.10.1 Time-Independent Escape Sequence
The TIES (Time-Independent Escape Sequence), implemented with +++AT, was developed by a
group of modem manufacturers as an alternative to the Hayes Escape Sequence. TIES was
designed for compatibility with existing communication software written for the Hayes Escape
Sequence.
The DTE implements the escape sequence by sending the escape character (as defined in S2) three
times, followed by a valid AT command, and then the contents of S3 (typically a <CR>). Upon
detecting the three consecutive escape characters, the modem changes to TIES command mode and
starts an internal EPD (Escape Prompt Delay) timer (with the time limit defined by S12). The
modem then looks for one of the following conditions to occur:
1) No additional data is received and the EPD timer times out: the modem sends an
“OK” message to the DTE and then waits indefinitely for an incoming valid AT command string from the DTE. Until the modem receives a valid AT command, it monitors any data received from the DTE and passes on the data to the remote modem
(that is, the modem does not echo back the received character to the DTE).
a) If the subsequent character received by the modem is not an ‘A’ or ‘a’, the
modem returns to data mode and sends a ‘CONNECT’ message back to the
DTE.
b) If the modem receives an “A” or “a”, it stores any additional data received from
the DTE in the modem’s internal command buffer and continues to send the
data to the remote modem. The modem then waits until the DTE sends a <CR>,
or up to 39 data characters, before deciding whether to go to command mode
or to return to data mode. Upon detecting a <CR> or receiving the 39 data characters, the modem determines if a valid AT command has been received. If a
non-AT command string or an invalid command string has been received, then
the modem changes back to data mode and sends a “CONNECT” message to
the DTE. If a valid AT command has been received, the modem changes to
Programmer’s GuideIntel Confidential39
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
command mode and sends an ‘OK’ message. After sending the “OK” message,
the modem echoes any received data from the DTE while in command mode.
2) An “A” or “a” is received from the DTE. The modem disables the EPD timer and
sends the character to the remote modem. The modem then stores any received
data from the DTE into the modem internal command buffer and sends the data to
the remote modem. Upon detecting a <CR> or receiving up to 39 data characters,
the modem determines if a valid AT command has been received; if so, it processes
the valid commands. If a non-AT command string or an invalid command string has
been received, then the modem remains in data mode. If a valid AT command has
been received, then the modem changes to command mode and sends an “OK”
message. After sending this, the modem (while in command mode) echoes back
any data received from the DTE.
3) Any character except an “A” or “a” is received from the DTE. The modem disables
the EPD timer and changes back to data mode.
3.10.2 Hayes∗ Escape Sequence
In this escape sequence, implemented with +++, the DTE sends the modem an escape character
three times, preceded and followed by guard times. Upon detecting the escape sequence, the
modem sends an “OK” response to the DTE. To re-enter the online data state, the DTE then sends
the modem ATO followed by the contents of S-register S3 (typically a <CR>).
The escape character is determined by the value stored in S-register S2 and is typically a ‘+’
character. Guard times are silence times when the DTE does not send any data to the modem.
Guard times ensure that the modem does not falsely detect an escape sequence if three consecutive
escape characters are received from the DTE. The preceding and following guard times are defined
in S-register S12. Typically, these guard times are 1 second. In addition to the preceding and ending
guard times, there are inter-character time-outs between each escape character sent. The intercharacter time-outs define the maximum amount of time allowed between characters before the
modem ignores the previous escape characters. This inter-character delay time is set to 1 second.
An example of the Hayes Escape Sequence follows:
gt1 = gt4 ≥ preceding and following guard times (S12)
tm2 = tm3 ≤ inter-character time-out (= 1 second)
char1 = char2 = char3 = escape character (S2)
Example:
DTE: 1 second +++ 1 second
DCE:OK
If an AT command string is received while in TIES command mode, the modem processes any
valid AT command. Upon detecting an invalid AT command, the modem changes back to data
mode and issues a “CONNECT” message to the DTE. While in TIES command mode, the modem
ignores certain characters that may cause the modem to incorrectly decide that an incoming AT
string is invalid. The ignore characters are <LF>, <space>, and <CR> (<CR> is ignored only when
S3 is not equal to <CR>). Not all AT commands are supported during TIES command mode. The
following is a list of supported commands:
En, Hn, Mn, On, Qn, Sn, Vn, Xn, and ‘&’ commands (except &Tn and &F)
40Intel ConfidentialProgrammer’s Guide
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
The escape character is determined by the value stored in S-register S2, and it is typically a ‘+’
character. The following is an example of the TIES Escape Sequence:
Format: <char1><char2><char3><AT command><contents of S3>
char1 = char2 = char3 = escape character (S2)
Example:
DTE:+++ AT<CR>
DCE:OK
Note:TIES requires that the three-character escape sequence be contiguous and not repeated. The
character immediately preceding the first character of the three-character sequence cannot be the
same as the escape character. Therefore, “+++ AT <CR>” is valid, but “++++ AT <CR>” is not.

Repeat Last Command: This command re-executes the last AT command string
stored in the command buffer. A/ is the only command not preceded by AT and ended by a carriage return.
Sending any character (such as a carriage return) after A/ and before a modem response is sent to the DTE causes the modem to abort the remainder of the command string in the modem internal command buffer.

Dial Command: This command causes the modem to immediately go off-
hook as an originating modem and dial a telephone number with corresponding dial modifiers. Dial modifiers are parameters that define how the modem
should dial the telephone number.
Dial Modifiers
0–9Dialing Digits
A, B, C, Tone Dial Characters
D, *, #
PPulse Dial—configures the modem to use pulse dialing to
dial a telephone number.
RReverse Originate Mode—places the modem in answer
mode. This modifier should be the last character in the dialing string (for example, ATDT 12345678R). After dialing the
telephone number, the modem goes into data modem answer mode instead of originate mode.
Dnone
S = nDial NVRAM Telephone Number—causes the modem to dial
a telephone number previously stored in the NVRAM with
the AT&Zn=x command.
TTone Dial—configures the modem to use DTMF tones to dial
a telephone number.
WWait for Dial Tone—causes the modem to look for dial tone
for a specified amount of time. If dial tone or the amount of
time specified by the S-register, S6, times out, the modem
processes the next command in the dial string. If a busy signal is detected, the modem responds to the DTE with a busy
response code and then goes into off-line command mode.
,Pause—causes the modem to pause or delay implementing
the next parameter in the dial string by the time specified in
S-register S8.
!Flash Hook—causes the modem to go on-hook for 0.75 sec-
onds.
@Wait for Quiet Answer—causes the modem to wait for spec-
ified amount of time (S-register S7) followed by 5 seconds of
silence before processing the next dial modifier.
;Return to Idle State—causes the modem to enter online
command mode without initiating a data modem handshake
(used for phone directory auto-dialers).
<space> - ( ) Ignored by Modem—these four characters are ignored by
the modem. Spaces also may be included in the dial string
to separate area codes and numbers.

Identify Product Revision: This command causes the DCE to report the modem
chipset revision level. This command is identical to AT+FREV? and AT+FMR?.
Modulation Selection: This command sets the type of modulation used and the
send and receive speeds. Settings for Bn, +MS=m, Nn and S37 determine the allowable modem connections. Nn performs the same function as the +MS=m <automode> parameter. S37 performs the same function as the +MS=m <max rate> parameter.
Modems using MD566X chipsets can be configured by the +MS=m command to
support only asymmetrical or symmetrical connections. The transmit and receive
speeds are the same in symmetrical connections and different in asymmetrical connections. The type of connection is set by the <carrier> parameter. The chipsets
default to the ITU-T V.90 or V.92 mode depending on firmware version. If the connection is non-V.90/V.92 the chipsets fall back to V.34 mode. Note that the transmitter speed and receiver speeds typically are different for most V.34 connections over
the PSTN.
The +MS command sets the modulation speeds in the V.34 chipsets; however, B0
also must be sent to set the modulation to V.22. Sending B1 sets the modulation to
Bell 212. These commands can be typed before or after the +MS command. For example, to set the modulation to ITU-T V.22:
+MS=msee “m”
+MS = V22, 1, 1200, 1200; B0
To check the settings for the +MS command, type AT+MS?
m = <carrier>, <automode>, <min rate>, <max rate>
Defaults: m = V90, 1, 0, 0
<carrier > This eight-digit string parameter specifies the type of modulation used.
Approved codes are shown in the following table. The modem can switch automatically between some types.

<automode> When enabled, this parameter allows the modem to negotiate modulation speeds automatically (if an automatic value is defined for that particular modulation). This feature is also controlled by the Nn AT command. The automode setting is based on which command, Nn or +MS=m, was issued last.
Range: <automode> = 0, 1
Default: <automode> = 1
<automode> = 0 Disabled
<automode> = 1Enabled
<min rate> This parameter specifies the lowest data transfer rate at which the modem may establish a carrier signal connection.
- <automode> = 0
Lowest data rate = (Lowest modulation data rate)
<min rate> ≠ 0Lowest permitted connection rate
<max rate> This parameter sets the highest speed at which the modem may establish a connection. This feature is also controlled by the S37 S-register. The <max
rate> setting is based on which command, S37 or +MS=m, was issued last.
- If the maximum modulation data rate is less than or
equal to the DTE data rate, then the highest data rate is
the highest modulation data rate.
- If the maximum modulation data rate is greater than
the DTE data rate, then the highest data rate is the
modulation data rate equal to or just below the DTE data
rate.

4.ERROR CORRECTION AND DATA
COMPRESSION
The MD566X chipsets support two types of data mode error correction (MNP 2–4 and V.42) and
data compression (V.44, MNP 5 and V.42 bis). V.42 error correction uses LAPM as the primary
error-control protocol and uses MNP 2-4 as an alternative.V.44 provides enhanced data
compression over the existing V.42bis standard. Data compression is up to on average 40% faster
than previous methods. This provides for faster web browsing and data downloading. The +DS44
command configures the operation of V.44. There are nine parameters associated with the +DS44
command. For a detailed description of this command, refer to Ta ble 4 -2 V.42 bis data compression
requires V.42 (LAPM only). MNP 5 requires MNP 2-4.
The MD566X chipsets support four operating modes: buffer (normal), MNP reliable, V.42 autoreliable, and V.42 reliable. These four modes are selected by the \Nn command. They allow the
DCE to communicate with remote modems that may or may not support error correction and data
compression. Speed buffering, which is used for all operating modes, allows the DTE-to-modem
data rate to be different from the modem-to-modem data rate. This is accomplished by using
transmitter and receiver buffers in the modem. Thus, the DTE-to-modem data rate can be set for
2400 bps when the modem-to-modem data rate is 300 bps without causing any data errors. In all
data modes, the DTE-to-modem data rate can be set for any valid speed between 300 bps to
115,200 bps (that is, the modem autobauds up to 115,200 bps). The modem-to-modem data rates
can be set to 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12,000, 14,400, 16,800, 19,200, 21,600, 24,000,
26,400, 28,800, 31,200, and 33,600 bps. Each operating mode is explained in more detail in the
following tables.
When V.80 mode (synchronous access mode) for videoconferencing becomes available in the
future, the +ES=m commands for data correction/compression will supersede the \Nn commands.
Control reverts to the \Nn command upon exiting V.80 mode.

5.FAX CLASS 1 AT COMMANDS
The 56K FastPath family implements the EIA-578 data/fax Class 1 AT command set standard. This
AT command set allows a DTE (with Class 1 communication software) and a MD566X–based
modem to communicate with Group 3 fax machines. In addition, these chipsets provide fax identity
and test commands. Fax identity commands are described in Tab le 5- 1; all other fax AT commands
are provided in Table 5-3 on page 76. This programmer’s guide should be used with the Class 1
Fax Application Note and the specifications for EIA/TIA-578, ITU-T T.30, and T.4. The Intel
Class 1 Fax Application Note shows several examples of how to use the fax AT commands and
how to originate and answer a fax call.
5.1Fax Identity Commands
The fax identity commands are AT+F MF R?, AT+FMDL?, AT+FMI?, AT+FMM?, AT+ FMR? ,
and AT+ FREV?. These commands respond back with modem manufacturer, product model, and
product revision information.

The fax Class 1 AT commands are divided into three types: class selection and capabilities, data
stream transfers, and silence-time timers. All fax mode commands, except the silence-time timers,
must be the last command on the command line.
Each command may be used as follows:
+F<command>? Reads current setting
+F<command> = ? Reads permissible settings
+F<command> = <parameter> Sets parameters
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
NOTE: To originate a call, answer, and hang up, use the ATD, ATA, and ATHn
commands, respectively.
The fax AT+FCLASS command is used for changing between fax classes, determining the current
class selection, and determining the supported fax classes. Both data/fax Class 0 (data modem
mode) and Class 1 (fax modem mode) are implemented by the modem. In Class 0, the DTE-tomodem data rate can be set from 300 bps to 115,200 bps. In Class 1, it is recommended that the
DTE-to-modem data rate is set to 19,200 bps.
The silence-time timers consist of AT+FTS =<TIME> and AT+FRS=<TIME>. Silence time is
defined as the length of time when the modem neither receives nor transmits energy (that is,
modem transmit carrier) on the telephone line.
The modem exchanges streams of data with the DTE while executing the data transfer commands
AT+FTM=<mod>, AT+FTH=<mod>, AT +FRM=<mo d>, and AT+FRH=<mod>. The values
supported for <mod> are provided in Tabl e 5-2.
During data transfer, an ASCII <DLE> character ($10h) is used as a special character to shield
other special characters.
Special characters in the data stream are used in the following way:
any data ... <DLE><ETX>end of data stream
any data ... <DLE><DLE>single $10 in data stream
any data ... <DLE>
<not DLE or ETX>delete both <DLE> and next character
When the DTE transfers data to the modem, the DTE must insert a <DLE> for each <DLE> in the
original data stream. In addition, when data is no longer available, the DTE must add the stream
terminator <DLE><ETX> to the end of the data stream. The modem buffers up to one thousand
Programmer’s GuideIntel Confidential73
56K V.92 Data, Fax, and Voice Chipset
bytes of fax data before sending it to the remote modem (AT+FTM command). If the modem
detects the two terminating characters <DLE><ETX> within the data stream, it transmits the data
immediately to the remote modem without waiting for the buffer to fill up.

146V.17 with short train14,400
When the modem transfers data to the DTE, the DTE must filter the data stream by removing all
character pairs beginning with <DLE>. The DTE also must recognize <DLE><ETX> as the stream
terminator. Upon detecting <DLE><DLE>, the DTE must reinsert a single <DLE> in its place. The
modem buffers up to 512 bytes of fax data received from the remote modem if the DTE cannot
read the data immediately (AT+ FRM command).
For the AT+FTH and AT+FRH commands, data is sent and received using HDLC formatting. The
format for HDLC framing is provided below. When sending the HDLC data, the modem
automatically generates the flags and the frame checking sequence (Frame Check Sum). All the
other fields are transmitted to or received from the DTE (that is, these fields are under the control
of the DTE).

After receiving a frame correctly using the AT+FRH command (FCS is OK), the DCE returns an
“OK” message to the DTE. If the frame is received in error (FCS is not OK, carrier is lost, or data
is lost due to data overflow), the DCE returns an “ERROR” message to the DTE; the DTE should
then discard the frame.
Note:If the telephone line is on-hook, the modem responds back to the DTE with an ‘ERROR’ message
whenever any of the fax AT commands, except the +FCLASS command, are sent to the modem.

Figure 5-3. CLASS 1 DTE Reception of HDLC Frame Information
(AT+FRH=<mod>)
Like the data modem mode, the DTE needs to issue an ATD string or ATA command to the modem
to originate or answer a fax call. Unlike the data modem mode, auto-answering is not supported by
the modem while in fax mode. It is recommended that S-register S0 be set to “0” (that is, use
‘ATA’) whenever the modem is expected to receive a fax call.
The ATDT <telephone number> command string causes the modem to originate a fax call. After
dialing the telephone number, the modem sends out a calling tone (1100 Hz), recognizes the remote
fax modem answer tone, and looks for the remote fax HDLC flags at 300 bps. If the HDLC flags
are detected, the modem sends the DTE a “CONNECT” message followed by the Class 1 HDLC
frame information. If the HDLC flags are not detected within the time limit defined by S-register
S7, the modem sends a “NO CARRIER” message to the DTE and then hangs up the line. If the
modem hangs up the line while processing the ATD command (that is, while the modem is onhook), the modem responds back with an “ERROR” message whenever the DTE issues one of the
data stream AT commands.
The ATA command causes the modem to answer a fax call. After going off-hook, the modem sends
the answer tone followed by HDLC flags. The modem then sends a “CONNECT” message to the
DTE and waits to receive the HDLC frame information from the DTE. In general, the ATA
command performs three functions:
1) It places the modem off-hook.
2) It causes the modem to transmit the answer tone.
3) It causes the modem to act as if it received an AT+FTH=3 command from the DTE.

+FRH=nnone
Receive HDLC Data:The +FRH=<mod> command causes the modem to re-
ceive HDLC-framed data using the modulation mode selected in <mod>. The modem then delivers the next-received frame to the DTE.
If the modem detects the selected carrier signal with an HDLC flag, the modem
sends a ‘CONNECT’ result code to the DTE. If the modem detects a different signal, the modem sends the “+FCERROR” (fax connect error) result code to the
DTE and returns to command mode. Upon loss of carrier, the modem returns to
command mode and sends a “NO CARRIER” result code to the DTE.
After receiving the HDLC flags, the modem strips away the flags and buffers the
received frames. The modem then transfers the received data to the DTE, starting
with the first non-flag byte and continuing through the last FCS byte. The DTE
should ignore the value of the FCS bytes. The modem also performs HDLC zerobit deletion and error checking.
After the FCS bytes are transferred, the modem marks the end of the frame with
<DLE><ETX> and reports the status of the frame reception to the DTE. If the
frame was received correctly (FCS is correct), the modem returns a “OK” result
code. If the frame was received in error (FCS is not correct, carrier lost, or data
lost due to data overflow), the DCE returns an ‘ERROR’ result code. The DTE
should then discard this frame.
After sending the status result code, the modem is ready to accept new commands from the DTE.
Note:An asterisk (*) denotes the factory-default setting.
CommandDefaultDescription
Receive HDLC Data: (cont.)
The modem obeys the configured flow control from the DTE. If the DTE sends any
character to the modem other than DC1 or DC3 while the modem is in this mode,
the modem enters command mode and return an ‘OK’ result code.
After sending the result code indicating that frame reception is complete, the mo-
+FRH=n
(cont.)
dem continues to receive and buffer the data in the selected mode. If the DTE issues another +FRH=<mod> command, the modem returns another “CONNECT”
result code and continues with HDLC reception. If the DTE issues any command
that changes modulation, the DCE stops the receive process; the DCE then discards any buffered data and processes the command.
Range: <mod> = 3
Refer to Table 5-2 on page 74.
+FRM=nnone
+FRS=nnone
Receive Data: The +FRM=<mod> command causes the modem to enter receive
mode using the modulation scheme specified in <mod>. <mod> may have the values shown in Table 5-2 on page 74.
When the selected carrier is detected, the modem sends a ‘CONNECT’ result to
the DTE. If a different signal is detected, the modem sends a “+FCERROR” (connect error) result code to the DTE and returns to command mode.
After receiving the selected carrier, the modem transfers all received data patterns
to the DTE as consecutive start-stop framed bytes, including leading marking conditions or flags. The modem marks the end of the data stream with <DLE><ETX>.
Upon loss of carrier, the modem returns to command state and sends a “NO CARRIER” result code to the DTE.
Note:If the modem is on-hook, then the modem always returns an ‘ERROR’
message to the DTE after receiving the +FRM=<mod> command.
Wait for Silence:The +FRS=<TIME> command causes the modem to send an
“OK” result code to the DTE when silence has been detected on the line for the
amount of time specified. The value <TIME> is in 10-ms intervals. The command
terminates when the required amount of silence has been detected on the line or
the DTE sends the modem another character that is discarded. In either event, the
DTE returns the “OK” result code.
Note:An asterisk (*) denotes the factory-default setting.
CommandDefaultDescription
Transmit HDLC Data:The +FTH=<mod> command causes the modem to trans-
mit data framed in HDLC protocol using the modulation mode selected. <mod>
may have the values shown in Table 5-2 on page 74.
After receiving the +FTH command, the modem sends a “CONNECT” result code
to the DTE. The modem then transmits signal converter training (if required) followed by flags until the first byte of data is sent by the DTE. The modem terminates the +FTH command upon detecting <DLE><ETX> characters in the data
stream.
When the buffer is empty, the modem computes and appends the FCS (Frame
Check Sequence) and a closing flag to the frame. The modem ensures that the
minimum number of flags required by T.30 are sent before the data from the DTE
begins to be transmitted.
The modem checks the final frame bit in the control field of each frame; this is the
fifth-received bit of the second byte of each frame. If the final frame bit is a “1”, the
modem ceases transmission after the frame is sent, returns to command state,
+FTH=nnone
and sends the “OK” result code to the DTE. If the final frame bit is a “0”, the modem sends another “CONNECT” result code to the DTE after the current frame is
sent. The modem continues to transmit flags until the DTE takes one of the following actions:
• The DTE sends additional data. The modem then transmits another frame.
• The DTE sends only <DLE><ETX> (a null frame). The modem then turns off the
transmit carrier and send the “OK” result code to the DTE.
• If the DTE transmits no additional data within 5 seconds from when the modem
reported the “CONNECT” result code, the modem turns off the transmit carrier
mode, returns to command mode, and sends the “ERROR” result code to the DTE.
In HDLC transmit mode, the modem performs HDLC transparency functions, FCS
generation, and buffers the transmit data. The modem uses the configured method of flow control to pause the DTE as necessary.
Note:If the modem is on-hook, it always returns an “ERROR” message to the
Note:An asterisk (*) denotes the factory-default setting.
CommandDefaultDescription
Transmit Data:The +FTM = <mod> command causes the modem to transmit
data using the modulation selected in <mod>.
The modem returns a “CONNECT” result code and transmits the proper training
sequence in the selected mode, followed by constant “1” bits until data is received
from the DTE. The modem terminates this command upon detecting <DLE><ETX>
characters in the data stream.
If the modem’s transmit buffer empties and the last transmitted character is an
ASCII NULL (00), the modem continues to transmit NULLs until the DTE sends
more data or 5 seconds have elapsed. After 5 seconds have elapsed with an empty transmit buffer, the DCE turns off the transmit carrier, returns to command state,
+FTM=nnone
and returns an “ERROR” result code to the modem.
Note:Hex $00 replication does not provide the required timing needed for
generating the TCF frame (1.5 seconds of ‘0’s’).
If the modem’s transmit buffer empties and the last transmitted character was not
a NULL, the modem turns off the transmit carrier, returns to command state, and
sends the “OK” result code to the DTE.
+FTS=nnone
Note:If the modem is on-hook, the modem always returns an “ERROR”
message to the DTE after receiving the +FTM = <mod> command.
Stop Transmission and Pause:The +FTS=<TIME> command causes the mo-
dem to stop all transmissions. The modem waits for the specified amount of time,
then sends an “OK” result code to the DTE. The value <TIME> is in 10-ms intervals.

6.IS-101 VOICE MODE AT COMMANDS
The 56K FastPath chipsets implement a voice mode AT command set that allows a DTE to record
and play back voice messages. In addition to this programmer’s guide, the Intel IS-101 Vo ic e Application Note, shows a number of ways to use these AT commands. This product is compatible
with the EIA/TIA IS-101 voice command set. This section lists supported commands and a detailed
description of each command (see Table 6-1 on page 82). When multiple commands are placed on
a line, a semicolon (;) must be placed after each voice (and fax) command.
See Table 2- 6 and Table 2-7 on page 19 for voice character pairs (DTE-to-DCE and DCE-to-DTE).
Note:To originate a call, to answer, and to hang up, use the ATD, AT+VLS≠0, and AT+ VLS =0
commands, respectively.
Each command may be used as follows:
+V<command>? Read current setting
+V<command> = ? Read permissible settings
+V<command> = <parameter> Set parameter
For example, AT+FCLASS? determines whether the modem is configured for data (or fax) mode
or voice mode. AT+FCLASS=? determines which data/fax/voice modes are supported by the
modem. AT+FCLASS=n switches between voice mode and data mode.
The modem exchanges streams of data with the DTE while executing the commands for voice
playback (AT+ VTX) and record (AT+V RX) and while in voice command mode (with either the
modem being off-hook or using the local phone — AT+VLS=n). In these modes, the DCE
searches for DTMF, calling tone, and dial tones and reports them to the DTE whenever they are
detected. Detection information and data stream terminators are passed between the DTE and DCE
by first sending an ASCII <DLE> character ($10h) followed by a special character. Special
characters in the data stream are used as follows:
any data ... <DLE><ETX>end of data stream ($10 $03)
any data ... <DLE><DLE>single $10 in data stream
any data ... <DLE><X>X is a special character,
delete both <DLE> and X from
the data stream
When the DTE transfers data to the modem during playback mode (AT+ VTX command), the DTE
must insert a <DLE> for each <DLE> in the original data stream. When data is no longer available,
the DTE must add the stream terminator <DLE><ETX> to the end of the data stream. If the modem
detects the two terminating characters <DLE><ETX> within the data stream, it transmits the data
immediately to the remote modem without waiting for the buffer to fill up. To abort playback mode
without waiting for the modem to empty the internal modem buffer, send
<DLE><CAN><DLE><ETX>. Immediately aborting the playback mode eliminates long delays
between receiving a DTMF tone or keyboard abort and starting a new function such as playing
back or recording a new message.
When the modem transfers data to the DTE during record mode (AT+VRX command), the DTE
must filter the data stream by removing all character pairs beginning with <DLE>. The DTE also
must recognize <DLE><ETX> as the stream terminator. Upon detecting <DLE><DLE>, the DTE
must reinsert a single <DLE> in its place. The modem buffers up to 512 bytes of voice data
received from the SAFE analog-to-digital converters if the DTE cannot read the data immediately.

6.1DTMF Detection
DTMF detection information is handled differently than other detection information. IS-101
specifies that more than one <DLE><DTMF CHAR> character pair may be sent for a single DTMF
tone burst. As such, the modem sends delimiter <DLE> character pairs to indicate the end of a tone
burst. When a DTMF tone is detected in playback or command mode, the modem sends
<DLE><DEL> to indicate the end of a burst. For example, from a single burst of DTMF 5 tones, the
following reports are possible:
Playback and voice command modes:
<DLE><5><DLE><DEL>
When a DTMF tone is detected in the record mode, the modem sends <DLE></> to indicate the
beginning of a tone burst. The modem may then send one or more <DLE><DTMF CHAR> character
pairs followed by <DLE><DEL>, which signifies the end of the tone. For example, from a single
burst of DTMF 5 tones, the following reports are possible:
To originate a call (that is, to originate call forwarding or auto-dialing) and to generate tones, use
the dialing command:
ATDT <telephone number>
If the modem was not already off-hook, then this command automatically configures the value for
AT+VLS=n to n=1 or n=5 depending on the value for Mn.
To answer a call, use the AT+ VLS=n command. Unlike data mode, the modem (when configured
for voice mode) does not automatically answer an incoming call (that is, the modem ignores the
contents of S-register S0).
Remote playback/record takes place whenever the modem is off-hook (OHREL* is activated). For
local playback/record, the modem is on-hook, and the user uses a local telephone or handset. The
LPHREL* relay driver may be used to control the local telephone or handset when implementing
local playback/record mode (AT+ VLS=n). Additionally, voice messages may be played through
the modem/computer speaker. The FastPath chipsets also provide a microphone interface that can
be used for local recording.
In voice mode, all voice AT commands can be issued by the DTE at any valid speed between 300
bps to 115,200 bps. Typically, the DTE-to-modem data rate is set for 19,200 bps, which is the
recommended data rate for Class 1 fax mode. The DTE-to-modem data rate may need to be set to
115,200 bps in certain instances, such as during playback or during record mode for a CL1
compression scheme.
The following data and fax AT commands are supported in voice mode:

Voice Mode Selection: This command enables or disables voice mode. All voicemode commands (except for +FCLASS=n) are valid only in voice mode.
+FCLASS=80
+FLO=n1
n = 0, 1, 8
n = 0*Data mode
n = 1Class 1 fax mode
n = 8Voice mode enabled
Flow Control Select: This command allows the DTE to identify and select the
types of flow control used. DCEs using the IS-101 standard must support in-band
XON/XOFF flow control. XON is the ASCII <DCI> character (11h); XOFF is the
ASCII <DC3> character (13h). The DCE may provide ITU-T’s V.24 CTS (circuit
106) and RTS (circuit 133) for flow control.
n = 0, 1, 2
n = 0 Disables XON/XOFF and CTS/RTS flow control
n = 1* Enables XON/XOFF flow control in either direction
n = 2 The DTE uses ITU-T’s RTS to control flow to the modem; the
Buffer Threshold Setting: This command specifies the flow control assert and
deassert points inside the DCE’s internal transmit buffer. The internal buffer is
512 bytes. The +VBT=m parameters are fixed in firmware and cannot be
changed.
m = <deassert>, <assert>
Defaults: <deassert> = 192, <assert> = 320
<assert>: This parameter stops data transfer from the DTE when the number of
+VBT=msee “m”
bytes in the buffer reaches the lower number of the range specified by the <assert> parameter. So that no data is lost before the modem stops the flow of data,
the <assert> parameter allows more data to enter the buffer until it reaches the
larger number in its range.
Range: <assert> = 192
<deassert>: This parameter starts data transfer from the DTE after the number
of bytes in the transmit buffer falls below the <deassert> value.
Range: <deassert> = 320
+VCID=n0
Caller ID Selection: This command controls the reporting and presentation of
data in the ICLID (Incoming Call Line ID) data format used by the Caller ID services in the United States and Canada. At a minimum, the data sent to the DCE
includes the date, time, and the caller’s telephone number. Caller ID information
is sent to the DTE during the first and second ring signals when the modem is in
voice, data, or fax mode.
n = 0–2
n = 0*Disables Caller ID
n = 1Enables Caller ID with formatted presentation to the DTE. The
modem presents the data items in a <Tag><Value> pair format.
The expected pairs are data, time, caller code (phone number),
and name.
n = 2Enables Caller ID with unformatted presentation to the DTE. The
modem presents the entire packet of information, excluding the
leading U’s, in ASCII-printable hex numbers.
Note:If S0=1 (auto-answer mode) and Caller ID is enabled in data modem
mode, then the modem answers only after the second ring signal.
Distinctive Ring Selection: This command contains two parameters. The first
selects whether the modem reports distinctive ring cadence information. The
second parameter controls the timing of the RING event code report.
m=<enable>, <report>
Defaults = 0, 0
<enable> Ring Reporting: The DCE reports the length of the ring period.
Range: <enable> = 0–255 (enables/disables distinctive ring reporting in the form
DROF=<number in units of 0.1 seconds><CR><LF>)
<report> Time Ring Reporting: The DCE reports the silence period’s length.
The DCE may produce a RING event code after the DRON message if enabled
by the <report> parameter. The <report> parameter should be set to a value larg-
+VDR=msee “m”
er than the expected off-times within a single pattern so the RING even reports
are issued only during the off-times between the complex patterns.
Range: <report> = 0–255 (reporting type in the form DROF=<number in
units of 0.1 seconds>)

Regardless of its setting, the +VDR command can be disabled by the +VEM com-
mand.
Event Reporting and Masking: This command selects which detection events
are supported in voice mode. Each event is represented by a single bit of a fourdigit hex number (see the following table). Setting an event number bit to 0 means
that event is not reported. Setting a bit to 1 indicates that a detected event is reported. While the event settings affect all modes (that is, playback, record, and
command modes), not just voice command mode, the mask can be changed
each time the mode is changed. Not all events are supported in each mode. See
the following table for supported events. This modem supports more features
than an IS-101 Class C-compliant modem. (Class C is the highest IS-101 compliant modem, and Class A is the lowest.) See the following examples for more
information.
m = <mask>
Defaults = “C”, BB860980, BFE63883, BB863EE0
To determine what events are supported by the modem, send ‘AT+VEM=?’.
AT+VEM=?
‘C’ ← Feature Class
DB860980 ← Playback mode events
OFEE0883 ← Record mode events
BB863EE0 ← Command mode events
OK
Example 2. Setting the Event Mask:
To set the event mask, issue AT+VEM=m, where ‘m’ is eight hex digits. This command is issued only in command mode and is followed when changing between
+VEM=m
(cont.)
see “m”
voice modes. That is, the modem uses the event mask previously set by the
+VEM=m command when entering playback or record mode. The modem ignores any event bit set when that feature is not supported in that voice mode.
AT+VEM=BB863EE0
Example 3. Reading the Event Mask Settings:
To read the settings for each event, type:
AT+VEM?
BB863EE0
OK
Example 4. Understanding the +VEM Hexadecimal Code:
The following illustration shows how the hexadecimal eight-digit code
(BB863EE0) is derived from the bit setting for each event:

Volume Selection: This command sets the volume level for the modem’s playback voice mode. A different playback level may be needed for each type of playback device (telephone line, local handset, local telephone, or speaker).
Initialize Parameter: This command causes the modem to initialize all voice pa-
+VIPnone
+VIT=n0
rameters to the factory default values. This command does not change relay or
speaker setup (that is, if the modem is off-hook, then the modem remains off
hook after processing this command).
DTE / DCE Inactivity Timer: This command sets the length of time the modem
can be inactive in voice mode before the modem resets its relays +VLS=0 and
changes to data mode (FCLASS=0) with autobauding. The purpose of this timer
is to ensure that the DTE does not leave the DCE in a mode that cannot be accessed by voice-unaware software. This timer is supported in playback, record
and voice command mode. Sending any data (such as a <DLE><NUL> string) to
the modem re-initializes this timer.

Automatic Hang-Up Control: This command changes the way the modem re-
sponds to hang-up commands after it switches from voice mode to fax or data
modes.
n = 0–2
n = 0*The modem retains automatic hang-ups as normal in data and
fax modes
n = 1The modem disables automatic hang-ups usually found in non-
voice modes
n = 2The modem disables all automatic hang-ups usually found in
Ringback-Goes-Away Timer: After originating a call in voice mode, this com-
mand selects the length of time the DCE waits between ringbacks before the
DCE assumes the remote party has gone off hook. After dialing a phone number
and detecting a ringback, the modem sends <DLE><O> to the DTE if another ringback is not detected within this timer value. This indicates that the remote tele-
+VRA=n50
+VRN=n 10
phone has been picked up (that is, gone off-hook). The ringback-goes-away timer
is reset every time a new ringback is detected.
n = 0–50 (in 100-ms increments)
n = 0The DCE returns the ‘OK’ code immediately after ringback.
n = 50*(50 = 5.0 seconds)*
Ringback-Never-Appeared Timer: This command sets the length of time the
DCE waits for ringback when originating a call in voice mode. After dialing a
phone number, the modem sends an ‘Error’ result code to the DTE if ringback is
not detected before the timer value elapses. This may indicate one of several
conditions: the remote telephone was picked up before the ringback tone was
generated; the number is no longer in service; or the number was incomplete.
This timer is disabled after detecting the first ringback.
n = 0–255 (in 1-second increments)
n = 0The DCE immediately returns the OK result code after dialing
n = 10* (10 = 10 seconds)*
Record Mode: This command causes the modem to enter record mode to record
voice messages.
Upon receiving the AT +V R X command, the modem responds to the DTE with a
‘CONNECT’ message at the current DTE-to-modem rate. It is important that the
UART DTE-to-modem rate be equal or higher to the compression-scheme-required UART data rate (for example, CL1 at 4800 samples/second requires
57,600 bps). If the DTE-to-modem data rate is lower than the compressionscheme-required UART data rate, then data may be lost or may be garbled during
playback of the message. After sending the “CONNECT” message, the modem
then sends digitized voice data that is <DLE>-shielded to the DTE. The modem
buffers the data to ensure steady voice delivery even though the voice data may
be transferred to the DTE in bursts. The DTE may use the <DLE><NUL> shielded
code as a no-operation command to refresh the inactivity timer.
During voice receive mode, the modem informs the DTE about pertinent events
that may prompt the DTE to terminate the voice receive state. The DCE sends
<DLE> codes for detection of signals such as busy tone, dial tone, DTMF tone,
and codes for “Presumed End of Message” or “Presumed Hang-up.” Record
mode is terminated whenever the modem issues a <DLE><ESC> command or
provides a DTE/DCE inactivity timer time-out. Upon detecting the terminating
+VRXnone
character, the modem stops sampling the analog data. The modem then terminates record mode by sending the remaining voice data stored in its internal buffer, <DLE><ETX>, and an ‘OK’ message to the DTE.
In some situations, the application software may want to abort record mode and
immediately perform a new function without first reading all the recorded voice
data from the modem’s internal buffer (for example, after detecting fax calling
tone). This is accomplished by sending <DLE><!> to the modem while in record
mode. Upon seeing <DLE><!>, the modem terminates record mode, clears the
modem’s internal record buffer, and issues a <DLE><ETX> to the DTE followed
by an ‘OK’ message.
The modem may immediately abort record mode if it receives either an
AT+VIT=n time-out or a DTR toggle. If +VIT≠0 and the modem has not received
any data or a <DLE><NUL> code before the +VIT timer times out, then the modem
immediately aborts record mode. The modem then hangs up the line and changes to data mode (+FCLASS=0). If the UART DTR signal is toggled on-off-on, then
the modem follows the &Dn setting. If configured for &D2 or &D3, the modem immediately aborts record mode, hangs up the line, and changes to data mode
(+FCLASS=0).
Note:The voice sampling rate and sampling mode must be the same values as
Silence Detection (Quiet and Silence): This command allows the DTE to set
two parameters: <sds> reports the sensitivity for silence detection, and <sdi> reports the length of silence required for the DCE to report silence when receiving
voice.
The <DLE><s> silence timer starts immediately after entering record mode. The
modem stops using the <DLE><s> timer and starts using the <DLE><q> timer if:
• the <DLE><s> silence timer has timed out and a <DLE><s> code has been sent to
the DTE, or
• if noise or voice energy has been detected above the silence detection threshold (as
defined by <sds>).
m = <sds>, <sdi>
Defaults: m = 128, 50
+VSD=msee ‘m’
<sds> Silence Sensitivity: If the received analog signal stays below this speci-
fied level for a user-specified time delay, the modem sends <DLE><q> to the DTE.
The modem sends only one <DLE><q> to the DTE each time record mode +VRX
is entered.
<sds> = 121–131
n = 128* Nominal level
<sdi> Length of Silence: This parameter sets the period of silence that must
elapse before the DCE reports silence (as detected by “Quiet” or “Silence”).
<sdi> = 0–255 (units of 0.1 second)
n = 0 Silence detection disabled
n = 50*Silence detection enabled
Compression Method Selection: This command contains four parameters that
specify the voice compression method, voice sampling rate, silence compression
sensitivity, and the degree of silence expansion. The DCE can support different
capabilities for each compression method.
<cml> Compression Method: This parameter selects a voice compression
method. The DTE can obtain the label and a string constant identifier by using
the +VSM? command.
<vsr>Sampling Rate: This parameter selects the DCE voice sampling/digitizing rate for the voice signal. The supported sampling rates are dependent on the
compression schemes used. Use the +VSM=? command to obtain supported
sampling rates.

<scs>Silence Sensitivity: The function of this parameter depends on whether
the DTE is transmitting or receiving in voice mode. The DTE can modify the silence expansion using the <sel> parameter. When transmitting voice, a non-zero
value of this parameter informs the DCE that the data stream was recorded with
silence compression.
n = 0*Disabled
When receiving voice, this parameter changes the level of noise
that the DCE treats as silence. A higher “n” number raises the
threshold of noise detection.
Reception: Range: n = 0
n = 0*Disables DCE silence compression
n =increments of 1Raises noise detection threshold
<sel>Silence Expansion: This command enables the DTE to modify the
amount of silence expansion. This parameter represents the maximum period of
silence the DCE expands a period of silence compressed by the <scs> parame-
ter. The DCE ignores the <sel> parameter if <scs> is zero.
1) Because of the high UART data rates, these compression/sample rates may
not be applicable to the serial host interface (that is, serial box modem)
designs (see AT I5 to determine if the modem is using the serial host interface). For parallel and PC Card host interfaces, the modem ignores the
UART data rate.
2) DTMF detection is provided for all sample rates.
Speakerphone On/Off Control: This command turns on the speakerphone
function. This feature provides full-duplex speakerphone capabilities with internal
adaptive echo cancellers. This command takes the received voice signal and
loops it back to the analog transmit pins. The host must configure the relays and
microphone interface as necessary using the AT+VLS=n command. Typically,
this means setting the off-hook relay driver, speaker, and microphone inputs with
AT+VLS=7.
+VSP=n0
#VSPS=n1
After enabling the speakerphone mode (+VSP=1), the modem remains in voice
command mode and provides information about local off-hook detection, DTMF
detection, and tone detection — if supported by the modem board.
n = 0, 1
n = 0*Speakerphone mode disabled
n = 1Speakerphone mode enabled
Speakerphone Type Selection: This command determines which speakerphone type is used when the modem receives a +VSP=n command. This allows
the application software to select whether telephone emulation or digital speakerphone is used for +VSP=n. Upon powering-up, the modem determines whether it can support a digital speakerphone mode. If digital speakerphone is supported, then the factory default value is equal to “1”. If the digital speakerphone is not
supported, then the factory default is “0”.
+VTD=n100

Beep Tone Duration Timer: This command sets the default duration of all DTMF
tones.
n = 5–255 (units of 0.01 seconds)
Default: n = 100
n = 100* Default value (1 second)
DTMF and Tone Generation: This command causes the modem to generate
DTMF tones or pulse tones in voice mode. The <DLE><!> code aborts the playback of tones, sends the “OK” result code, and returns the modem to the voice
command state. The DTE/DCE inactivity timer is in place during tone production.
The command +VTS sent without a parameter assumes the default value, which
is a null string. The DTE may use the <DLE><NUL>-shielded code to refresh the
timer.
+VTS=m none
m=<string> The <string> is made up of a list of <freq> and <duration> parameters. <freq> is in units of Hz, and <duration> is in units of 0.01 seconds.
The tone string consists of up to three types of elements: a single ASCII character, a string in brackets, and a string in braces. Commas must separate the elements. Missing elements assume the value of zero. The following list explains
each element and how it can be used.
1) Single ASCII character in the set, 0-9, #, *, ! and A-D, which is interpreted as
a single DTMF tone. DTMF tones are sent as a single element expressed in the
form:
AT+VTS=<DTMF or !>
For example, to send a DTMF 1 tone, issue AT+VTS=1 to the modem.
2) String drawn from the first set but not including a flash hook code “!” and enclosed in brackets “[ ]”,which can produce a single or dual tone. The string includes three parameters, which set the frequency of two non-standard DTMF or
single tones and a common duration for both. The quantity in brackets consists
of a three-element list that is expressed in the following format:
AT+VTS=[<first tone freq 1>, <second tone freq 2>,
<duration>]
If the duration is not specified in the <duration> parameter, the modem sends
tones for the duration specified by the +VTD=n command.
+VTS=m
(cont.)
none
a) Single tones can be sent in brackets using the following format:
AT+VTS=[<first tone freq 1>]
or
AT+VTS=[<first tone freq 1>, <space>, <duration>]
For example: AT+VTS=[3000] This sends a single tone of 3000 Hz with a default duration specified by +VTD=n.
For example: AT+VTS=[3000,,50]
This sends a single tone of 3000 Hz with a duration of 500 ms (50 x
0.01 second).
b) Dual tones may be sent using the following format:
AT+VTS=[<first tone freq 1>,<second tone freq 2>]
or
AT+VTS=[<first tone freq 1>,<second tone freq 2>,
<duration>]
For example: AT+VTS=[3000,3300]
This sends a dual tone of 3000 Hz and 3300 Hz with the default duration set
by the +VTD=n command.
For example: AT+VTS=[3000,3300,50]
This sends a dual tone of 3000 Hz and 3300 Hz with a duration of 500 ms
Play Mode: This command causes the modem to start voice transmission (play-
back mode) and play back a previously recorded voice message.
Upon receiving the AT + V T X command, the modem responds to the DTE with a
“CONNECT” message at the current DTE-to-modem rate. It is important that the
UART’s DTE-to-modem rate be equal to or higher than the compressionscheme-required UART data rate (for example, CL1 at 4800 samples/second requires 57,600 bps). If the DTE-to-modem data rate is lower than the compression-scheme-required UART data rate, then data may be lost or the playback
message may be garbled. After receiving the “CONNECT” message, the DTE
then sends the voice file to the modem. To ensure that data is not overwritten, the
modem provides both hardware or software flow control with AT+FLO=n. The
modem also buffers the data to ensure steady voice delivery, even though the
voice data may be transferred from the DTE in bursts.
Playing mode is terminated when the data is exhausted and the modem receives
+VTXnone
the two terminating characters <DLE><ETX> from the DTE. Upon detecting
<DLE><ETX>, the modem issues an “OK” result code. After the modem’s internal
buffer is empty, it returns to the command mode.
To abort playback mode immediately without waiting for the modem to empty its
internal buffer, send <DLE><CAN><DLE><ETX>.The modem aborts playback
mode immediately in two other situations: during a AT+ VIT= n time-out or a DTR
toggle. The modem immediately aborts playback mode if +VIT≠0 and the modem
has not received any data or if the modem receives a <DLE><NUL> code before
the +VIT timer time-out. The modem then hangs up the line and switches to data
mode (+FCLASS=0). If the UART DTR signal is toggled from on-off-on, then the
modem follows the &Dn setting. If configured for &D2 or &D3, then the modem
immediately aborts playback mode, hangs up the line, and switches to data mode
(+FCLASS=0).
Note:The voice sampling rate and sampling mode must be the same values
used during record mode.
