Communication between the DTE and modem is half duplex (i.e., only one entity 'talks' at a time).
2.2 COMMAND SYNTAX AND GUIDELINES
2.2.1 DTE Commands
The ISO 646 character set (CCITT T.50 International Alphabet 5, American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is
used for the issuance of commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits of each character are used for commands or
parameters; the high-order bit is ignored. Upper case characters are equivalent to lower case characters.
2.2.2 DTE Command Lines
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the DCE while the DCE is in a command state. Command lines
have a prefix, a body, and a terminator. The prefix consists of the ASCII characters “AT” (065, 084) or “at” (097, 116). The
body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters (032 - 126). Space characters (ASCII 032) and control
characters other than carriage return <CR> (default value = ASCII 013 = 0Dh, see register S3), backspace <BS> (default
value = ASCII 008 = 08h, see register S5), and cancel <cntrl-x> (ASCII 024 = 18h) in the command string are ignored. The
default terminator is the <CR> character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored.
2.3 AT COMMAND GUIDELINES
Modem operation is controlled by generic AT commands. These AT commands may be basic AT (i.e., commands preceded
by AT, AT&, AT%, AT*, AT\, AT), AT-, or AT#), S-Register (e.g., S6=n), Fax class 1 (e.g., +FTM), Fax class 2 (e.g.,
+FDCS:), or voice (e.g., #VBS) commands. The command syntax and operation guidelines governing each of these
command categories are described in subsequent sections.
2.3.1 Basic Command Syntax
Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with associated parameter values. The basic commands
consist of single ASCII characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character, followed by a decimal parameter
(e.g., “&D1"). Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
2.3.2 Extended Command Syntax
The facsimile commands use extended syntax. They are preceded by the “+F” characters, and they are terminated by the
semicolon “:” character (ASCII 059) or by the <CR> that terminates the command line.

3. AT COMMAND SET
3.1 AT COMMAND GUIDELINES
The basic AT commands used to control modem operation are defined in this section. These commands are summarized in
Appendix A. All these commands may not be available in a specific product depending upon supported data rates and
modes. The default values are typical of a fully configured modem supporting all data rates and options. The actual default
value is dependent upon modem firmware as defined by the firmware release notes.
3.1.1 AT Commands, DTE Adaption
Under AT operation, the serial interfaced modem performs an autobaud/autoparity/autolength function on each AT header
entered. The autolength/autoparity facility can detect 7- or 8-bit characters of even, odd, or no parity with one stop bit. This is
not necessary for the parallel interfaced modem since it has direct access to the UART registers.
3.1.2 AT Command Format
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the modem (DCE) while the modem is in a command state. A
command line has a prefix, a body, and a terminator. Each command line (with the exception of the A/ command) must
begin with the character sequence AT and must be terminated by a carriage return. Commands entered in upper case or
lower case are accepted, but both the A and T must be of the same case, i.e., "AT" = ASCII 065, 084 or “at” = ASCII 097,
116. The body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters (032 - 126). Space characters (ASCII 032)
and control characters other than CR (ASCII 013) and BS (ASCII 010) in the command string are ignored. The default
terminator is the ASCII <CR> character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored. The command line interpretation
begins upon receipt of the carriage return character.
Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with associated parameter values. The basic commands
consist of single ASCII characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character (e.g., “&"), followed by a decimal
parameter. Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
The modem supports the editing of command lines by recognizing a backspace character. When modem echo is enabled,
the modem responds to receipt of a backspace or delete by echoing a backspace character, a space character, and another
backspace. The hex value to be used for the backspace character is programmable through register S5. Values equal to 0
or greater than 127, or the value which corresponds to the carriage return character, cannot be used for the backspace
character. This editing is not applicable to the AT header of a command. A command line may be aborted at any time by
entering < cntrl-x > (18h).
The AT sequence may be followed by any number of commands in sequence, except for commands such as Z, D, or A.
Commands following commands Z, D, or A on the same command line will be ignored. The maximum number of characters
on any command line is 39 (including "A" and "T"). If a syntax error is found anywhere in a command line command, the
remainder of the line will be ignored and the ERROR result code will be returned.
Most commands entered with parameters out of range will not be accepted and the ERROR response will be returned to the
DTE.
Commands will only be 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.
3.1.3 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.

AT Command Reference Manual
3.2 AT COMMAND SET
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 configuration command are those used in the Rockwell factory profile 0.
3.2.1 AT Commands
A/ - Re-execute Command
The modem behaves as though the last command line had been re-sent by the DTE. "A/" will repeat all the commands in the
command buffer.
The principal application of this command is to place another call (using the Dial command) that failed to connect due to a
busy line, no answer, or a wrong number. This command must appear alone on a command line. This command should not
be terminated by a carriage return.
AT= x - Write to Selected S-Register
This command writes the value x to the currently selected S-Register. An S-Register can be selected by using the ATSn
command. All of the S-Registers will return the OK response if x is a number. Some registers may not be written due to
country specific PTT limitations.
Result Codes
OKFor all arguments.
AT? - Read Selected S-Register
This command reads and displays the selected S-Register. An S-Register can be selected by using the ATSn command.
Result Codes:
OKFor all arguments.
A - Answer
The modem will go off-hook and attempt to answer an incoming call if correct conditions are met. Upon successful
completion of answer handshake, the modem will go on-line in answer mode. This command may be affected by the state of
Line Current Sense, if enabled. (Most countries do not require Line Current Sense.) Operation is also dependent upon
+FCLASS command and country-specific requirements.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will enter the connect state after exchanging carrier with the remote modem. If no
carrier is detected within a period specified in register S7, the modem hangs up. Any character entered during the connect
sequence will abort the connection attempt.
If +FCLASS=1 or 2 is selected, the modem will go off-hook in V.21 answer mode. It will generate the V.21 2100 Hz answer
tone for 3 ± 0.5 seconds and, following a delay of 70 ms, will proceed as if the +FTH=3 command were issued. At any stage
up to (but excluding) the +FTH=3 command state, any character will abort the communication. (See the description of the
+FTH command for details.)
Bn - CCITT or Bell
When the modem is configured to allow either option, the modem will select Bell or CCITT modulation for a line speed
connection of 300 or 1200 bps according to the parameter supplied. Any other line speed will use a CCITT modulation
standard. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S27 bit 6. (Also, see ATFn command.)
B0Selects CCITT operation at 300 or 1200 bps during Call Establishment and a subsequent
connection. (Default for W-class models.)
B1Selects BELL operation at 300 or 1200 bps during Call Establishment and a subsequent
connection. (Default for US models.)
Result Codes:
OKn = 0 or 1.
ERROROtherwise.
3-21048
AT Command Reference Manual
Cn - Carrier Control
This command is included for compatibility only, and has no effect other than returning a result code. The only valid
parameter is 1.
Result Codes:
OKn = 1.
ERROROtherwise.
Dn - Dial
This command directs the modem to go on-line, dial according to the string entered and attempt to establish a connection. If
no dial string is supplied, the modem will go on-line and attempt the handshake in originate mode. In W-class models, the
action of going off-hook is affected by the status of the Line Current Sense input, if line current sensing is enabled, and by
the blacklist and delayed list.
respond with the NO CARRIER result code.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will behave as a data modem and will attempt to connect to another data modem.
The modem will have up to the period of time specified by register S6 or S7 to wait for carrier and complete the handshake.
If this time expires before the modem can complete the handshake, the modem will go on-hook with the NO CARRIER
response. This command will be aborted in progress upon receipt of any DTE character before completion of the handshake.
If +FCLASS=1 or 2 is selected, the modem will behave as a facsimile modem and attempt to connect to a facsimile machine
(or modem) by entering the HDLC V.21 channel 2 receive state (as if +FRH=3 had been issued). This command will be
aborted upon receipt of any DTE character if the modem has not finished dialing. In this case, the modem will go on-hook
and return to command mode after displaying the NO CARRIER message. If the modem has finished dialing, it proceeds as
if the +FRH=3 command has been issued. (Refer to the +FRH command to determine how the modem behaves following
this stage.)
NOTE:
If the ATD command is issued before the S1 register has cleared, the modem will
Dial Modifiers. The valid dial string parameters are described below. Punctuation characters may be used for clarity, with
parentheses, hyphen, and spaces being ignored.
0-9DTMF digits 0 to 9.
*The 'star' digit (tone dialing only).
#The 'gate' digit (tone dialing only).
A-DDTMF digits A, B, C, and D. Some countries may prohibit sending of these digits during dialing.
LRe-dial last number: the modem will re-dial the last valid telephone number. The L must be
immediately after the D with all the following characters ignored).
PSelect pulse dialing: pulse dial the numbers that follow until a "T" is encountered. Affects current and
subsequent dialing. Some countries prevent changing dialing modes after the first digit is dialed.
TSelect tone dialing: tone dial the numbers that follow until a "P" is encountered. Affects current and
subsequent dialing. Some countries prevent changing dialing modes after the first digit is dialed.
RThis command will be accepted, but not acted on.
S=nDial the number stored in the directory (n = 0 to 3). (See &Z.)
!Flash: the modem will go on-hook for a time defined by the value of S29. Country requirements may
limit the time imposed.
WWait for dial tone: the modem will wait for dial tone before dialing the digits following "W". If dial tone
is not detected within the time specified by S7 (US) or S6 (W-class), the modem will abort the rest
of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
10483-3
AT Command Reference Manual
@Wait for silence: the modem will wait for at least 5 seconds of silence in the call progress frequency
band before continuing with the next dial string parameter. If the modem does not detect these 5
seconds of silence before the expiration of the call abort timer (S7), the modem will terminate the
call attempt with a NO ANSWER message. If busy detection is enabled, the modem may terminate
the call with the BUSY result code. If answer tone arrives during execution of this parameter, the
modem handshakes.
&Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial string. If the tone is not detected
within the time specified by S7 (US models) or S6 (W-class models), the modem will abort the rest
of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
,Dial pause: the modem will pause for a time specified by S8 before dialing the digits following ",".
;Return to command state. Added to the end of a dial string, this causes the modem to return to the
command state after it processes the portion of the dial string preceding the ";". This allows the user
to issue additional AT commands while remaining off-hook. The additional AT commands may be
placed in the original command line following the ";" and/or may be entered on subsequent
command lines. The modem will enter call progress only after an additional dial command is issued
without the ";" terminator. Use "H" to abort the dial in progress, and go back on-hook.
^Toggles calling tone enable/disable: applicable to current dial attempt only.
( )Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
-Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
<space>Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
<i>Invalid character: will be ignored.
>If enabled by country specific parameter, the modem will generate a grounding pulse on the EARTH
relay output.
En - Command Echo
The modem enables or disables the echo of characters to the DTE according to the parameter supplied. The parameter
value, if valid, is written to S14 bit 1.
This command selects the line modulation according to the parameter supplied. The line modulation is fixed unless
Automode is selected. This command interacts with the S37 and the N command. The parameter value, if valid, is written to
S37 bits 0-4. To select line modulation, it is recommended that either the F command, or a combination of the S37 and the N
command, be used, but not both.
F0Selects auto-detect mode. Sets N1 and sets S31 bit 1. In this mode, the modem configures for
automode operation. All connect speeds supported by the modem are possible according to the
remote modem's preference. The contents of S37 are ignored as is the sensed DTE speed.
F1Selects V.21 or Bell 103 according to the B setting as the only acceptable line speed resulting in a
subsequent connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 1, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent
to the command string: ATN0S37=1.
F2Not supported.
F3Selects V.23 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection. Originator is at
75 bps and answerer is at 1200 bps. Sets N0, sets S37 to 7, and clears S31 bit 1. This command
is equivalent to the command string: ATN0S37=7.
F4Selects V.22 1200 or Bell 212A according to the B command setting as the only acceptable line
speed for a subsequent connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 5, and clears S31 bit 1. This command
is equivalent to the command string: ATN0S37=5.
F5Selects V.22 bis as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection. Sets N0,
sets S37 to 6, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the command string:
ATN0S37=6.
F6Select V.32 bis 4800 or V.32 4800 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent
connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 8, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the
command string: ATN0S37=8.
F7Selects V.32 bis 7200 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection. Sets
N0, sets S37 to 12, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the command string:
ATN0S37=12.
This setting also allows connection at the Rockwell proprietary 7200 V.32 speed, e.g., with a
RC9696/12 based modem.
F8Selects V.32 bis 9600 or V.32 9600 as the only acceptable line modulations for a subsequent
connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 9, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the
command string: ATN0S37=9.
F9Selects V.32 bis 12000 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection. Sets
N0, sets S37 to 10, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the command string:
ATN0S37=10.
This setting also allows connection at the Rockwell proprietary 12000 V.32 speed, e.g., with a
RC9696/12 based modem.
F10Selects V.32 bis 14400 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection. Sets
N0, sets S37 to 11, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the command string:
ATN0S37=11.

AT Command Reference Manual
Hn - Disconnect (Hang-Up)
This command initiates a hang up sequence.
This command may not be available for some countries due to PTT restrictions.
H0The modem will release the line if the modem is currently on-line, and will terminate any test
(AT&T) that is in progress. Country specific, modulation specific, and error correction protocol
specific (S38) processing is handled outside of the H0 command.
H1If on-hook, the modem will go off-hook and enter command mode. For US models, the modem
will remain off-hook. For W-class models, the modem will return on-hook after a period of time
determined by S7.
Result Codes:
OKn = 0 or 1.
ERROROtherwise.
In - Identification
The modem reports to the DTE the requested result according to the command parameter.
I0Reports product code. Example: 28800
I1Calculates the ROM checksum and reports the least significant byte of the checksum in decimal
(see firmware release notes). Reports 255 if the prestored checksum value is FFh.
I2Calculates the ROM checksum and compares it with the prestored checksum. Reports "OK" if the
calculated checksum equals the prestored checksum or if the prestored checksum value is FFh;
otherwise reports “ERROR”.
I3Reports the firmware version (F), basic model (e.g.,V34), application code (A), and interface type
code (I) typically in the form VF.FFF-V34_AI. The application codes are: D = Desktop, L = Low
Power (PCMCIA). The interface type codes are: S = Serial, P = Parallel. Example: V1.400-
V34_DS

Ln - Speaker Volume
The modem sets the speaker volume control according to the parameter supplied. The parameter value, if valid, is written to
S22 bits 0 and 1.
This command selects when the speaker will be on or off. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S22 bits 2 and 3.
M0Speaker is always off.
M1Speaker is on during call establishment, but off when receiving carrier. (Default.)
M2Speaker is always on.
M3Speaker is off when receiving carrier and during dialing, but on during answering.
Result Codes:
OKn = 0 to 3.
ERROROtherwise.
Nn - Automode Enable
This command enables or disables automode detection. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S31 bit 1.
N0Automode detection is disabled (equivalent to setting the +MS <automode> subparameter to 0). A
subsequent handshake will be conducted according to the contents of S37 or, if S37 is zero,
according to the most recently sensed DTE speed.
N1Automode detection is enabled (equivalent to setting the +MS <automode> subparameter to 1). A
subsequent handshake will be conducted according the automode algorithm supported by the
modem, e.g., according to the contents of S37 or, if S37 is zero, starting at 28800 bps V.34
(RC288). This command is also equivalent to F0 (RC144). (Default.)
Result Codes:
OKn = 0 or 1.
ERROROtherwise.
Notes:
1.The Nn and S37=x commands override the +MS command settings. When the N0 or N1 command is issued, the +MS
subparameters are updated to reflect the Nn and S37 values (see +MS command and S37 register). For example:
N1S37=10 updates the +MS command subparameters to reflect +MS=10,1,300,12000
N0S37=10 updates the +MS command subparameters to reflect +MS=10,0,12000,12000
2.Use of the +MS command is recommended instead of the Nn and S37=x commands. Nn and S37=x commands are
supported for compatibility with existing communication software.
On - Return to On-Line Data Mode
This command determines how the modem will enter the on-line data mode. If the modem is in the on-line command mode,
the enters the on-line data mode with or without a retrain. If the modem is in the off-line command mode (no connection),
ERROR is reported.
O0Enters on-line data mode without a retrain. Handling is determined by the Call Establishment task.
Generally, if a connection exists, this command connects the DTE back to the remote modem
after an escape (+++).
O1Enters on-line data mode with a retrain before returning to on-line data mode.
Result Codes:
OKn = 0 or 1 and a connection exists.
ERROROtherwise or if not connected.

P - Set Pulse Dial Default
This command forces pulse dialing until the next T dial modifier or T command is received. Sets S14 bit 5.
As soon as a dial command is executed which explicitly specifies the dialing mode for that particular call (e.g., ATDT...), this
command is overridden so that all future dialing will be tone dialed. (See T command.)
This command may not be permitted in some countries.
Result Code:
OK
Qn - Quiet Results Codes Control
The command enables or disables the sending of result codes to the DTE according to the parameter supplied. The
parameter value, if valid, is written to S14 bit 2.
Q0Enables result codes to the DTE. (Default.)
Q1Disables result codes to the DTE.
Result Codes:
OKn = 0 or 1.
ERROROtherwise.
Sn - Read/Write S-Register
The modem selects an S-Register, performs an S-Register read or write function, or reports the value of an S-Register.
nEstablishes S-Register n as the last register accessed.
n=vSets S-Register n to the value v.
n?Reports the value of S-Register n.
The parameter n can be omitted, in which case the last S-Register accessed will be assumed. The S can be omitted for AT=
and AT?, in which case the last S-Register accessed will be assumed.
For example:
ATS7 establishes S7 as the last accessed register.
AT=40 sets the contents of the last register accessed to 40.
ATS=20 sets the contents of the last register accessed to 20.
If the number "n" is beyond the range of the S-Registers available, the modem will return the ERROR message. The value
"v" is "MOD"ed with 256. If the result is outside the range permitted for a given S-Register the values will still be stored, but
functionally the lower and higher limits will be observed. Input and output are always in decimal format. Note that some SRegisters are read-only.
In some cases, writing to the S-Register will appear to be accepted but the value will not actually be written.
Due to country restrictions, some commands will be accepted, but the value may be limited and replaced by a maximum or
minimum value.
Minimum, maximum, and default values for S-Registers may be altered with ConfigurACE.

This command selects which subset of the result messages will be used by the modem to inform the DTE of the results of
commands.
Blind dialing is enabled or disabled by country parameters. If the user wishes to enforce dial tone detection, a "W" can be
placed in the dial string (see D command). Note that the information below is based upon the default implementation of the X
results table. Table 3-1 indicates the messages which are enabled for each X value.
If the modem is in facsimile mode (+FCLASS=1 or 2), the only message sent to indicate a connection is CONNECT without
a speed indication.
X0Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country requirements; send only
OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, and NO ANSWER result codes. Blind dialing is
enabled/disabled by country parameters. If busy tone detection is enforced and busy tone is
detected, NO CARRIER will be reported. If dial tone detection is enforced or selected and dial
tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of NO DIAL TONE. The value 000b is
written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X1Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country requirements; send only
OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NO ANSWER, and CONNECT XXXX (XXXX =
rate). Blind dialing enabled/disabled by country parameters. If busy tone detection is enforced and
busy tone is detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of BUSY. If dial tone detection is
enforced or selected and dial tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of NO
DIAL TONE. The value 100b is written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.

performed, dial-up operation continues. The OK response is returned for a valid parameter, but no other action is performed.
The parameter value, if valid, is written to S27 bit 2.
This command determines the DTR operating mode. The modem treats the &M command as a subset of the &Q command.
&M0Selects direct asynchronous operation. Note that the command sequence &M0\N0 selects normal
buffered mode, but the command sequence \N0&M0 selects direct mode. This is because the \N0
command is analogous to the &Q6 command. The value 000b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0,
respectively. (See &Q).

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.
When %E2 is active, the modem monitors the line quality (EQM). When line quality is insufficient,

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:
\K0Enter on-line command mode, no break sent to the remote modem.
\K1Clear data buffers and send break to remote modem.
\K2Same as 0.
\K3Send break to remote modem immediately.
\K4Same as 0.
\K5Send break to remote modem in sequence with transmitted data. (Default.)
The second case is where the modem is in the on-line command state (waiting for AT commands) during a data connection,
and the \B is received in order to send a break to the remote modem:
\K0Clear data buffers and send break to remote modem.
\K1Clear data buffers and send break to remote modem. (Same as 0.)
\K2Send break to remote modem immediately.
\K3Send break to remote modem immediately. (Same as 2.)
\K4Send break to remote modem in sequence with data.
\K5Send break to remote modem in sequence with data. (Same as 4.) (Default.)
The third case is where a break is received from a remote modem during a non-error corrected connection:
\K0Clears data buffers and sends break to the DTE.
\K1Clears data buffers and sends break to the DTE. (Same as 0.)
\K2Send a break immediately to DTE.
\K3Send a break immediately to DTE. (Same as 2.)
\K4Send a break in sequence with received data to DTE.

+MS - Select Modulation
This extended-format command selects the modulation and, optionally, enables or disables automode, specifies the lowest
and highest connection rates, selects µ-Law or A-Law codec type, and enables or disables robbed bit signaling generation
(server modem) or detection (client modem) using one to five subparameters. The command format is:
1.For 14400 bps and lower speeds, the Nn command and S37 register can alternatively be used, in which case the +MS
subparameters will modified to reflect the Nn and S37=x settings. Use of the Nn and S37=x commands is not
recommended but is provided for compatibility with existing communication software. (S37 is not updated by the +MS
command.)
2. Subparameters not entered (enter a comma only or <CR> to skip the last subparameter) remain at their current values.
Reporting Selected Options
The modem can send a string of information to the DTE consisting of selected options using the following command:
The modem can send a string of information to the DTE consisting of supported options using the following command:

b.The DTE may disable automode operation (see <automode> below).
c.The DTE may constrain the range of modulations available by specifying the lowest and highest rates (see
<min_rate> and <max_rate> below).
2.<automode> is an optional numeric value which enables or disables automatic modulation negotiation using V.8 bis/V.8
or V.32 bis Annex A. The options are:
<automode>Option SelectedNotes
0
1
The default value is 1, which enables automode. Note, however, there are modulations for which there is no automatic
negotiation, e.g., Bell 212 (<mod> = 69).
For <automode> = 0 (automode disabled, i.e., fixed modulation):
a.If <max_rate> is within the rates supported by the selected modulation, the selected rate is that specified by
<max_rate>. For example:
+MS=10,0,1200,4800 selects V.32 bis 4800 bps fixed rate.
b.If <max_rate> is greater than the highest speed supported by the modulation specified by <mod>, the starting
rate is the highest rate supported by the selected modulation. For example:
+MS=10,0,2400,14400 selects V.32 bis 14400, 12000, 9600, 7200, or 4800 bps.
Automode disabled
Automode enabled using V.8 bis/V.8 or V.32 Annex ADefault

AT Command Reference Manual
c.To emulate issuance of the N0S37=x command sequence to select fixed mode operation, specify the
<max_rate> and <min_rate> both to be the (same) requested speed, and <mod> to be the modulation for that
speed. For example:
+MS=11,0,16800,16800 selects V.34 16800 bps fixed mode (no comparable S37 command).
+MS=10,0,12000,12000 selects V.32 bis 12000 bps fixed mode (same as N0S37=10).
For <automode> = 1 (automode enabled, i.e., automatically selected speed and modulation):
The modem connects at the highest possible rate in accordance with V.8 bis/V.8, or V.32 bis Annex A if V.8 bis/V.8 is
not supported by the remote modem.
a.If <max_rate> is greater than the highest rate supported by the modulation specified by <mod>, the modem
automodes down from the highest rate of the selected modulation. For example:
+MS=10,1,1200,24000 selects automoding down from V.32 bis 14400 bps.
b.To emulate issuance of the N1S37=x sequence command, specify the modulation and the rate to start
automoding down from using <mod> and <max_rate>, respectively. Set <min_rate> to 300 to allow automoding
all the way down to V.21 300 bps. For example:
+MS=11,1,300,16800 selects automode starting at V.34 16800 bps (no comparable S37 command).
+MS=9,1,300,12000 selects automode starting at V.32 bis 12000 bps (same as N1S37=10).
3.<min_rate> is an optional number which specifies the lowest rate at which the modem may establish a connection. The
value is decimal coded, in units of bps, e.g., 2400 specifies the lowest rate to be 2400 bps. The default is 300 for
300 bps.
4. <max_rate> is an optional number which specifies the highest rate at which the modem may establish a connection. The
value is decimal coded, in units of bps, e.g., 14400 specifies the highest rate to be 14400 bps. The default is 28800 for
28800 bps.
5. <x_law> is an optional number which specifies the codec type. The options are:
0 = µ-Law
1 = A-Law
Note that ATZ will reset the <x_law> selection to 0 (µ-Law).
6.<rb_signaling> is an optional number which enables or disables robbed bit signaling generation in a server modem or
enables or disables robbed bit signaling detection in a client modem. The options are:
0 = Robbed bit signaling generation (server modem ) or detection (client modem) disabled (default)
1 = Robbed bit signaling generation (server modem ) or detection (client modem) enabled
Note that ATZ will reset the <rb_signaling> selection to 0 (disabled).

AT Command Reference Manual
3.2.7 AT** Command
** - Download to Flash Memory
The linear flash memory downloader in the modem firmware 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 (downloads) the data to the flash memory device. Note that this
downloader function must be provided in modem MCU firmware initially installed in external flash memory, i.e., the
downloader does not support the programming of blank flash memory.
Programming 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. 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.The user will then load the new modem firmware which the FLM will then program into the flash memory device.
Procedure:
1.Install in the modem a flash memory programmed with the modem firmware; ensure that the flash memory device is
programmed with the sector secure mode set to UNSECURE (AMD only), otherwise the device cannot be reprogrammed in the modem.
2.Put the FLM file and the new modem firmware file (e.g., V1400DS.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 57600 bps (57600 bps is
faster) and RTS/CTS flow control. A load at 57600 bps will take approximately 2 minutes; a load at 19200 bps will take
approximately 6 minutes.
4.Check the modem for response by typing AT.
5.Initiate the download process using the AT**n command, where:
AT** or AT**0 Download speed is the last sensed speed (recommended command).
AT**1Download speed is 38.4k bps.
AT**2Download speed is 57.6k bps.
The "Download Initiated" message appears upon issuing the AT**n command.
6.Perform an ASCII upload of the FLM file (e.g., AMDE.S37) 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).
To abort the load at this point, wait for the FLM download process to time-out, send a bad S37 record, or reset (POR)
the modem. If the load process times-out, the modem must be reset (ATZ) before the FLM can be loaded again.
7.After the FLM has been loaded, perform an ASCII upload of the new modem firmware hex file (e.g., RC288ACi.S37)
from the host computer to the modem RAM using an industry standard communications software or an equivalent
process. There will be a 3-second pause after the first record of the RC288AXX.S37 file is sent, which is the FLASH
erase cycle.
If the flash download fails (because of a bad .S37 record for example) or the upload is aborted, as long as the modem
is not turned off or reset, it will remain in the flash load cycle and the upload can be re-attempted at step 7.
There is no turning back at this point.
A "Wrong Device" message is displayed if an incorrect FLM is used. In this case, restart at step 5 and upload the
correct FLM file.
A "Wrong Hex file or flow control" message is displayed if an incompatible hex file format is used (non-Motorola S3
format) or if the DTE ignores flow control (the flash download uses both Xon/Xoff and RTS/CTS flow control). If the
wrong format was used, reinitiate the upoad at step 7 using a correct firmware hex file.
8.A "Device successfully programmed" message is displayed by the FLM at the completion of a successful download and
the modem will do a cold start.

The Direct Connect Modem allows a direct interface to most cellular telephones eliminating the need for other intelligent
interfaces.
Landline modems operate with the telephone system by either going off hook detecting dialtone and the dialing the
telephone number using pulses or DTMF digits, or detecting the RING signal and answering the call. Intelligent cellular
phone interfaces connect between the modems RJ-11 socket and the cellular phone's data interface. The interface provides
landline features to the modem (line current, dial tone, ringing, etc.), and translates the modem's signals (off hook, DTMF
digits, etc.) into signals that the cellular phone understands. Once connected the interface acts as a transparent link between
the modem and the cellular telephone.
The Direct Connect Modem interfaces directly to the cellular phone's data interface and provides direct control over the
cellular phones operation. For example if the user were to instruct the modem to dial using the ATDTnnnn command the
modem would relay the telephone number and the SEND command to the cellular phone over the data interface.
The modem connects to the cellular phone using a special cable which must be purchased separately. A different cable is
required for each cellular phone or make of cellular phones. Below is a block diagram of a typical Direct Connect Cellular
Modem (based on AK14-X270 Rev 4 reference schematic).
3.7.1 Cellular Phone Drivers
The data interface to cellular phones differs between manufacturers and models and requires a unique cellular phone driver
for each phone or group of phones. Therefore the particular phone driver needs to be downloaded from the PC into the
modem's RAM before the modem can be used directly with the cellular phone. If a driver is not loaded the modem will
operate as a normal landline modem.
The ^C2 command initiates the cellular phone driver download function. Upon receipt of the command, the modem issues
the "OK" message. The user then performs an ASCII download of the driver (in .S37 format) from the host to the modem,
typically using a communications software package (with transmit pacing turned off).

^I - Identify Cellular Phone Driver
The modem reports the identification of the loaded cellular phone driver in response to the ^I command. The response is
dependent upon the driver.

^T6 - Indicate Status of Cellular Phone
The status of the cellular phone connected to the modem is reported in response to the ^T6 command. The status is
reported in a single byte formatted as a decimal number. The individual status signals assigned to the status byte bits are:
bit 01 =Cellular phone is receiving an incoming call
bit 11 =Cellular phone is in use
bit 21 =Cellular phone is locked (cannot be used)
bit 31 =There is no service for cellular phone (does not indicate signal strength)
bit 41 =Cellular phone is powered on
bit 51 =Cellular driver is initialized
bit 60 =Reserved (0)
bit 71 =Cellular cable detected
Result Codes (typical):
128(Cellular cable detected)
OK
Application of ^T6 Status Byte
The information obtained by issuing a AT^T6 can be used to determine if the loading of the cellular phone driver is necessary
by the host software. A download is not necessary if landline (or no cable) is connected to the modem, in which ^T6 will
return a value of 0 (bit 7=0). A download is necessary when a cellular cable is detected (implied cellular phone is also
connected), in which ^T6 will return a value of 128 (bit 7=1). Once a driver is downloaded to the modem, it will be able to
operate in landline or cellular mode based on detection of a cellular cable.
3.7.3 Operation
Once the driver is loaded and the modem is connected to the cellular phone, and the phone is powered on dial/answer
functions will be routed through the phone instead of the landline DAA, i.e., no special commands are needed to place or
answer calls, the same AT commands and software packages that are used for landline communication sessions can be
used. If the cellular phone is not connected or is powered off dial/answer functions will be routed through the landline DAA,
and if V.42 bis connection is established the cellular phone driver will be purged so that the V.42 bis dictionaries can be
increased to their normal size.
While the modem is being used with a cellular phone it will respond with normal result messages with the following
differences in meaning:
NO DIALTONEIndicates that cellular service is not currently available.
RINGIndicates that the cellular phone is receiving an incoming call.
Modem Configuration
Modem performance will be improved by modification of your standard configuration; it is recommended that the landline
modem also be EC compatible for reliable communications.
Cell SiteAT&F
Base SiteAT&F -SEC=1,18
MNP10-EC is automatically enabled on the cell side when a cellular phone driver is loaded and the modem firmware detects
that the cellular phone is attached, also in the V.34 products the modem is automatically configured to force the connection
in V.32bis mode.
On the cell side the transmit level is defined in the cellular driver, therefore it is not necessary to set the level using the ATSEC command.
In the V.34 products on the landline side if MNP10-EC is disabled (AT-SEC=0), it will automatically be enabled if another
V.34 modem is calling (V.8 bis/V.8 signal indicates cellular capability). No particular modulation will be chosen on the land
line side. Therefore if a landside V.34 modem is NOT going to receive any calls from a V.32bis MNP10-EC modem it can be
configured using AT&F -SEC=0,18 , otherwise use the configuration above.
10483-39
AT Command Reference Manual
In V.34 modems if MNP10-EC is enabled manually (using AT-SEC=1) no particular modulation will be chosen, therefore if
the user wishes to force V.32bis modulation they should use the AT+MS=10,1,minspeed,maxspeed command (e.g.
AT+MS=10,1,4800,12000 would force V.32bis and limit the speed between 4800 and 12000 bps). To allow V.34 modulation
use AT+MS=11,1,minspeed,maxspeed (e.g. AT+MS=11,1,4800,19200 would allow V.34 speeds between 4800 and 19200).
When MNP10-EC is enabled in V.34 modes the symbol rate is limited to 3000, therefore the maximum speed would be
26.4K however the initial connect speed is limited to 21600.
If an AXCELL™ solution is used, a transmit level of -10dBm is required, therefore the following init string should be used:
Cell SiteAT &F -SEC=1,10
It is recommended that systems be set up if possible with separate modems to receive calls from other land based modems
and cellular modems. This is so that land based users that experience high network attenuation do not have connection
problems when communicating to modems configured for cellular operation.
The above configurations are the minimum additional AT commands may be issued to change the result messages etc,
AT&F is used to ensure that the modem is in a know state.
Table 3-2 summarizes the mode and resulting transmit levels for both modems depending on their configuration.
Fax Configuration
It is recommended that fax transmissions be configured to operate at 9600 bps in V.17 mode or 7200 bps in V.29 mode.
Cellular Phone Configuration
To achieve the best operational performance, a cellular data connection should be attempted in a location where adequate
signal strength is observed for the cellular phone. This condition can be easily monitored on some phones with signal
strength indicator. In locations where even voice calls are unreliable, data connections should not be attempted. Under some
circumstances a special high gain antenna may improve performance.
Additional information regarding the use of the cellular phone and cellular network should be obtained from the service
provider and or cellular phone manufacturer.

3.8 AT COMMAND RESULT CODES
The modem responds to commands from the DTE and to activity on the line by signalling to the DTE in the form of result
codes. The result codes that the modem can send are described below.
Two forms of each result code are available: long-form, an English-like "verbose" response, and short-form, a data-like
numeric response (included in parentheses following the long-form). The long-form code is preceded and terminated by the
sequence < CR> < LF>. The short-form is terminated by < CR>, only with no preceding sequence.
If result messages are suppressed, nothing is returned to the DTE. The long-form results codes can be modified by the OEM
through the ConfigurACE Configuration Utility Program. (See ConfigurACE description.)
OK (0)
The OK code is returned by the modem to acknowledge execution of a command line.
CONNECT (1)
The modem will send this result code upon connecting when:
1. The line speed is 300 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the line speed to the DTE upon connecting, or
2. The DTE speed is 300 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the DTE speed to the DTE upon connecting, or
3. The range of result code responses is restricted by the X command such that no speed reporting is allowed.
RING (2)
The modem sends this result code when incoming ringing is detected on the line. What qualifies as a ring signal is
determined by country-dependent parameters, modifiable through ConfigurACE.
When cellular interface is selected, RING indicates that the cellular phone is receiving an incoming call.
NO CARRIER (3)
The modem sends this result code when attempting to establish a call if:
1. Ringback is detected and later ceases but no carrier is detected within the period of time determined by register S7, or
2. No ringback is detected within the period of time determined by register S7.
This result code is also used when the modem auto-disconnects due to loss of carrier.
Under X0, if busy tone detection is enforced, this result code is used as a response to the detection of busy or circuit busy.
Under X0, if dial tone detection is enforced or selected, this result code is used to indicate that dial tone has not been
detected.
ERROR (4)
The modem returns this result code if the command line contains a syntax error or it is unable to execute a command
contained in the command line. It is issued if a command does not exist or if the parameter supplied is outside the permitted
range.
Under X0, X1, X2, and X3, this result is used instead of DELAYED and BLACKLISTED.
CONNECT 1200 (5)
For X1, X2, X3, and X4, the modem sends this result code when:
1. The line speed is 1200 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the line speed to the DTE upon connecting, or
2. The DTE speed is 1200 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the DTE speed to the DTE upon connecting.
(Also, see the W command.)
NO DIALTONE (6)
For X2 and X4, the modem sends this result code if it has been instructed to wait for dial tone during dialing but none is
received.
When cellular phone interface is selected, NO DIALTONE indicates that cellular service is not currently available.

3.9 AUDIOSPAN AND DSVD COMMANDS
AudioSpan and DSVD are two technologies that allow simultaneous voice and data operation using a Rockwell modem
connected to a telephone line. AudioSpan and DSVD implementations differ in the manner that voice and modem data are
combined. Voice and data channels are combined in the analog domain for AudioSpan and in the digital domain for DSVD.
Establishing a AudioSpan or DSVD connection is analogous to establishing a regular data modem connection. Initiate the
call using normal dialing (ATD) and answering (ATA) procedures. The modem can switch from a regular phone conversation
into AudioSpan or DSVD mode and back to phone conversation. A handset, headset, or microphone/speaker can be used
for voice communication during AudioSpan or DSVD mode.
AudioSpan operates in normal (non-error corrected) or error-corrected/compression mode (MNP 5 or V.42 bis depending on
the error correction settings of the modems). The DTE rate must be equal to or greater than the anticipated DCE connection
speed. In general, DTE speed of 38400 bps or higher should be used.
3.9.1 Commands Supported by Both AudioSpan and DSVD
-SMS= x, y, z, t - Select AudioSpan/DSVD Mode
The x parameter selects Data, AudioSpan, or DSVD mode, or enables automatic mode selection. The y, z, t parameters are
optional and are required only if the user wishes to control connection speeds. For example, AT-SMS=2 is sufficient to
enable SVD.
x
: AudioSpan/DSVD/Data mode select and automatic mode select enable
0 =Data mode
1 =DSVD mode(A modem not supporting DSVD will respond with ERROR)
2 =AudioSpan mode(A modem not supporting AudioSpan will respond with ERROR)
3 =Automatic mode select(DSVD/AudioSpan/Data) (Default)
Note:
AT-SMS=1 performs the same operation at AT-SSE=1.
y

AT Command Reference Manual
Notes
AudioSpan audio quality is dependent upon modulation mode, data rate and telephone line quality. Some guidelines are:
1. Higher quality telephone lines provide better audio quality than impaired telephone lines.
2. A lower data speed with audio provides better audio quality than higher data speed with audio. For example, a
ML288/9600 connection will be audibly superior to a ML288/14400 connection.
3. For identical data speed with audio using different modulations (e.g., ML144 vs. ML288), the audio quality at ML288 will
be superior. For example, a ML288/9600 will be audibly superior to a ML144/9600 connection.
Examples
1. AT -SMS=2 selects AudioSpan Mode (the y, z, and t parameters are not required).
2. AT -SMS=2,4800,9600 selects AudioSpan Mode, specifies the minimum data speed with audio of 4800 bps, and
specifies the maximum data speed with audio of 9600 bps.
Reporting Selected Options
The modem reports the selected options in response to the following command:
-SMS?
The response is:
<x>, <y> <z>,< t>
Example:
-SMS?
2,1
Reporting Supported Options
The modem reports the supported options in response to the following command:
-SMS=?
The response is:
(list of<x> values),(list of <y > values),(list of <z > values),(list of <t > values)
The AT#VLS setting must be issued prior to establishing a DSVD or AudioSpan connection if a voice line other than the
default telephone handset is desired.
3.9.2 Commands Supported Only by DSVD
-SSE= x - Enable/Disable DSVD
0 =Disable DSVD(Default)
1 =Enable DSVD(A modem not supporting DSVD will respond with ERROR)
Note:
DSVD mode can be enabled by either AT-SSE=1 or AT-SMS=1, and disabled by either AT-SSE=0 or AT-SMS=0.
3-501048
AT Command Reference Manual
3.9.3 Commands Supported Only by AudioSpan
The following commands are applicable only for modems supporting AudioSpan mode. The command has no effect in DSVD
mode. Modems that supports DSVD but not AudioSpan will report ERROR in response to these commands.
-SQS= x, y - Select AudioSpan Modulation
x
: Select modulation mode
0 =V.61
1 =ML144(Default for RCV144)
2 =ML288(Default for RCV288)
0 =Disable AudioSpan automodulation Host selects AudioSpan modulation specified by the x parameter.
If the selected modulation is not supported by the modem,
ERROR is reported and the x parameter is not changed. If the
remote modem does not support the selected modulation, the
modem disconnects.
1 =Enable AudioSpan automodulation The modem starts with the AudioSpan modulation specified by the
x parameter and falls back from ML288, to ML144, to V.61, or to
data mode (e.g., V.34 or v.32 bis) depending on the selected x
parameter, the remote modem capability, and line conditions.
(Default.)
Notes
1. The AT-SQS parameters should remain at default unless a particular modulation is preferred.
2. For identical data speed with audio using different modulations (e.g., ML144 vs. ML288), the audio quality at ML288 will
be superior. For example, a ML288/9600 will be audibly superior to a ML144/9600 connection.
Examples
1. AT -SQS=2,1 enables AudioSpan automodulation starting with ML288 modulation.
2. AT -SQS=2,0 disables AudioSpan automodulation and selects ML288 modulation.
3. AT -SQS=1,0 disables AudioSpan automodulation and selects ML144 modulation.

+ ITF - Transmit Flow Control Thresholds
The +ITF command determines the flow control thresholds used by the modem for transmit data from the DTE. The
command format is:
+ITF=[<off>[,<on>[,<report_period>]]]
This optional compound parameter allows the DTE to determine the input buffer size in the modem for data on circuit 103
(transmit data) from the DTE, to control the threshholds used for flow control of such data, and to control how often the
modem reports to the DTE the number of octets in this buffer. Note that the DTE can adjust its own threshholds for flow
control of data on circuit 104 (received data) from the modem.
<off>
<on>
<report_period>
Determines the threshhold, in octets, above which the modem will generate a flow off signal.
Applicable in Synchronous Access and Frame Tunneling modes. Default <off> value is 255.
For the <on> and <off> subparameters, the input buffer is assumed to reside between the
modem’s V.24 interface and the Synchronous Access protocol layer; i.e., the buffer count
includes all octets, including EM codes, received from the DTE, with the exception of DC1 and
DC3 if these are used to signal <modem-by-DTE> flow control.
The modem returns the ERROR result code if the DTE specifies that the <off> subparameter be
set to a value less than or equal to the <on> subparameter; in this case, the current parameter
value settings are not modified.
Determines the threshhold, in octets, below which the modem will generate a flow on signal.
Applicable in Synchronous Access and Frame Tunneling modes. Default <on> value is 64.
Not supported. A fixed value of zero is used and reported.
Reporting Selected Options
The modem sends a string of information text to the DTE consisting of selected options in response to the following
command:
+ITF?
The response is:
+ITF: <off>,<on>,<report_period>
Example:
+ITF?
+ITF: 255,64,0Default values
Reporting Supported Options
The modem sends a string of information text to the DTE consisting of supported options in response to the following
command:
+ITF=?
The response is:
+ITF: (list of supported <off> values),(list of supported <on> values),(list of supported <report_period> values)
Example:
+ITF=?
+ITF: (0-255),( 0-255),(0)
The maximum reported <off> value is the input transmit data buffer level at which the modem signals a transmit data
overrun indication to the DTE.

The S-Registers are summarized in Table 4-1 along with their default values; registers denoted with an '*' may be stored in
one of the two user profiles by entering the &Wn command. One of these profiles may be loaded at any time by using the Zn
command. Registers or register fields quoted as “reserved” are reserved for current or future use by the firmware, or are
permanently overridden by PTT limitations. For the latter, control of the equivalent functionality is available with ConfigurACE
Call Progress and Blacklisting options.
All bit-mapped registers are read-only. The appropriate AT command which controls the relevant bits in the S-Register
should be used to change the value.
4.1 FACTORY DEFAULTS
The factory default values are stored in ROM and are loaded into the active configuration at power up or by the ATZn
command. In addition, the designated default profile is subsequently loaded, and may change some of the factory default
values. The designated default profile can be changed by entering the &Yn command where n is one of the two possible
user profiles.
The defaults shown are those used by Rockwell in factory profiles zero and one. These may be overwritten by the OEM with
ConfigurACE prior to placing the firmware in PROM. Minimum and maximum values may also be imposed by ConfigurACE
in response to country PTT requirements.
The default values shown in Table 4-1 may vary by modem firmware configuration. Consult the MCU firmware release notes
for exact configuration.
The factory default values may be loaded at any time by entering the &Fn command.

4.2 S-REGISTER DEFINITIONS
S0 - Number of Rings to Auto-Answer
Sets the number of the rings required before the modem automatically answers a call. Setting this register to zero disables
auto-answer mode.
Range:0-255 rings
Default: 0
S1 - Ring Counter
S1 is incremented each time the modem detects a ring signal on the telephone line. S1 is cleared if no rings occur over an
eight second interval.
Range:0-255 rings
Default: 0
S2 - Escape Character
S2 holds the decimal value of the ASCII character used as the escape character. The default value corresponds to an ASCII
'+'. A value over 127 disables the escape process, i.e., no escape character will be recognized.
Range:0-255, ASCII decimal
Default: 43 (+)
S3 - Carriage Return Character
Sets the command line and result code terminator character. Pertains to asynchronous operation only.
Sets the character recognized as a line feed. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The Line Feed control character is
output after the Carriage Return control character if verbose result codes are used.
Sets the character recognized as a backspace. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The modem will not recognize the
Backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line.
When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local DTE the Backspace character, an ASCII space
character and a second Backspace character; this means a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem
processes the Backspace character.
Range:0-32, ASCII decimal
Default: 8 (Backspace)

S6 - Wait Time for Dial Tone Before Blind Dialing, or After “W” Dial Modifier (W-Class Models)
1.Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait before starting to dial after going off-hook when blind
dialing. This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country restrictions. The “Wait for
Dial Tone” call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6.
2.For W-class models, S6 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for dial tone when encountering a
“W” dial modifier before returning NO DIAL TONE result code.
The modem always pauses for a minimum of 2 seconds, even if the value of S6 is less than 2 seconds.
Range:2-255 seconds
Default: 2
S7 - Wait Time For Carrier After Dial, For Silence, or For Dial Tone After “W” Dial Modifier (US Models)
1.Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for carrier before hanging up. The timer is started when
the modem finishes dialing (originate), or 2 seconds after going off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset
upon detection of answer tone if allowed by country restrictions.
2.Sets the length of time, in seconds, that modem will wait for silence when encountering the @ dial modifier before
continuing with the next dial string parameter.
3.For US models, S7 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for dial tone when encountering a “W”
dial modifier before continuing with the next dial string parameter.
Range:1-255 seconds
Default: 50
S8 - Pause Time For Dial Delay
Sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when the “,” dial modifier is encountered in the dial string.
Range:0-255 seconds
Default: 2
S9 - Carrier Detect Response Time
Sets the time, in tenths of a second, that the carrier must be present before the modem considers it valid and turns on
RLSD. As this time is increased, there is less chance to detect a false carrier due to noise from the telephone line.
Range:1-255 tenths of a second
Default: 6 (0.6 second)
S10 - Lost Carrier To Hang Up Delay
Sets the length of time, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits before hanging up after a loss of carrier. This allows for
a temporary carrier loss without causing the local modem to disconnect. When register S10 is set to 255, the modem
functions as if a carrier is always present.
The actual interval the modem waits before disconnecting is the value in register S10 minus the value in register S9.
Therefore, the S10 value must be greater than the S9 value or else the modem disconnects before it recognizes the carrier.
Range:1-255 tenths of a second
Default: 14 (1.4 seconds)
S11 - DTMF Tone Duration
Sets the duration of tones in DTMF dialing (US models only). This value has no effect on pulse dialing.
For W-class models, this parameter is a country parameter loaded by ConfigurACE.
Defines the maximum period, in fiftieths of a second, 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. If any characters are detected during this
time, the OK will not be sent. Note that sending of the OK result code does not affect entry into command mode. (See
3.1.3.)
Range:0-255 1/50 of a second
Default: 50 (1 second)

S37 - Desired Line Connection Speed
This register specifies the desired line connection speed.
Notes:
1.When the Nn command is issued or the S37 register value is modified, the +MS command subparameters are updated
to reflect the speed and modulation specified by the S37 value (see +MS command). For example:
If N0 command is active, S37=10 updates the +MS command subparameters to reflect +MS=10,1,300,12000
If N1 command is active, S37=10 updates the +MS command subparameters to reflect +MS=10,0,12000,12000
2.S37 is not updated by the +MS command.
3.Use of the +MS command is recommended instead of the Nn and S37=x commands. Nn and S37=x commands are
supported for compatibility with existing communication software.
Default: 0
Bits 0-4Desired line connection speed. This is interlinked with the Fn command (RC144). If an invalid
number is entered, the number is accepted into the register, but S37 will act as if the default
value has been entered.
0 =Attempt automode connection. If N0 is active, connection is attempted at the most
recently sensed DTE speed (+MS command settings are updated to the
appropriate values). If N1 is active, connection is attempted at the highest
possible speed (+MS settings are updated to 11,1,300,2880 to reflect V.34,
automode, 300 bps minimum speed, and 28800 bps maximum speed). (Default.)

S38 - Delay Before Forced Hang Up
This register specifies the delay between the modem's receipt of the H command to disconnect (or ON-to-OFF transition of
DTR if the modem is programmed to follow the signal), and the disconnect operation. Applicable to error-correction
connection only. This register can be used to ensure that data in the modem buffer is sent before the modem disconnects.
1. If S38 is set to a value between 0 and 254, the modem will wait that number of seconds for the remote modem to
acknowledge all data in the modem buffer before disconnecting. If time expires before all data is sent, the NO CARRIER
result code will be issued to indicate that data has been lost. If all data is transmitted prior to time-out, the response to
the H0 command will be OK.
2. If S38 is set to 255, the modem does not time-out and continues to attempt to deliver data in the buffer until the
connection is lost or the data is delivered.
Range:0-255 seconds
Default: 20

Default: 138
S46=136Execute error correction protocol with no compression.
S46=138Execute error correction protocol with compression. (Default.)
S48 - V.42 Negotiation Action
The V.42 negotiation process determines the capabilities of the remote modem. However, when the capabilities of the
remote modem are known and negotiation is unnecessary, this process can be bypassed if so desired.
Range:0, 7, or 128 If an invalid number is entered, it is accepted into the S-Register, but S48 will act as if 128
has been entered.
Default: 7
S48=0Disable negotiation; bypass the detection and negotiation phases; and proceed with LAPM.
S48=7Enable negotiation. (Default.)
S48=128Disable negotiation; bypass the detection and negotiation phases; and proceed at once with the
fallback action specified in S36. Can be used to force MNP.

S82 - Break Handling Options
S82 is for compatibility purposes only, changing this register will not have any affect.
S86 - Call Failure Reason Code
When the modem issues a NO CARRIER result code, a value is written to this S-Register to help determine the reason for
the failed connection. S86 records the first event that contributes to a NO CARRIER message. The cause codes are:
Range:0, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, or 14
Default:
S86=0Normal disconnect, no error occurred.
S86=4Loss of carrier.
S86=5V.42 negotiation failed to detect an error-correction modem at the other end.
S86=9The modems could not find a common protocol.
