Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

This manual describes the commands and responses for Conexant host-processed (HSF or
SoftK56) modem families.

The commands and responses described herein are implemented in HSF drivers V6.02.00 and
subsequent.

Additional configuration and implementation information is available in release notes and/or
readme files that accompany product software release. The .INF File contains exact
application unique information and default values.

1.1.1 Command Syntax

The fundamental DTE interface command syntax is described in Section 2.

1.1.2 Command Descriptions

These commands are grouped into the following categories:

Syntax and procedures Section 2
Data commands Section 3
Fax Class 1 and Fax Class 1.0 commands Section 4
Voice/Audio commands Section 5

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

2 Syntax and Procedures

The command and response syntax and procedures generally conform to referenced
recommendations and standards. Since these recommendations and standards describe
characteristics universal to a large installed base of modems to a maximum degree, there may
be syntax and procedural differences due to extensions and behavioral differences in
implemented commands, parameters, and responses beyond that described in these
recommendations and standards.

The syntax and procedures described in this section are based on V.250 and V.253 with
additional information included for implemented extensions, behavioral differences beyond
V.250, and legacy commands.

2.1 Alphabet

The T.50 International Alphabet 5 (IA5) is used in this document. Only the low-order seven
bits of each character are significant to the modem; any eighth or higher-order bit(s), if
present, are ignored for the purpose of identifying commands and parameters. Lower-case
characters are considered identical to their upper-case equivalents when received by the
modem from the DTE. Result codes from the modem are in upper case.

2.2 DTE Commands Lines

Words enclosed in <angle brackets> are references to syntactical elements. The brackets are
not used when the words appear in a command line. Words enclosed in [square brackets]
represent optional items which may be omitted from the command line at the specified point.
The square brackets are not used when the words appear in the command line. Other
characters that appear in syntax descriptions must as included as shown.

Any modem responses are mentioned in terms of their alphabetic format; the actual response
issued will depend on the setting of parameters that affect response formats, e.g., Q and V
commands (see 2.7).

2.2.1 Command Line General Format

A command line is made up of three elements: the prefix, the body, and the termination
character.

The command line prefix consists of the characters "AT" or "at" or, to repeat the execution of
the previous command line, the characters "A/" or "a/".

The body is made up of individual commands described in this document. Space characters
(IA5 2/0) are ignored and may be used freely for formatting purposes, unless they are
embedded in numeric or string constants. The termination character may not appear in the
body. The modem can accept at least 80 characters in the body.

The termination character may be selected by a user option (parameter S3), the default being
CR.

100498E Conexant 2-1

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

2.2.2 Command Line Editing

The character defined by parameter S5 (default, BS) is interpreted as a request from the DTE
to the modem to delete the previous character. Any control characters (IA5 0/0 through 1/15,
inclusive) that remain in the command line after receipt of the termination character are
ignored by the modem.

The modem checks characters from the DTE first to see if they match the termination
character (S3), then the editing character (S5), before checking for other characters. This
ensures that these characters will be properly recognized even if they are set to values that the
modem uses for other purposes. If S3 and S5 are set to the same value, a matching character
will be treated as matching S3 (S3 is checked before S5).

2.2.3 Command Line Echo

The modem may echo characters received from the DTE during command state and online
command state back to the DTE, depending on the setting of the E command. If enabled,
characters received from the DTE are echoed in the same format as received. Invalid
characters in the command line or incomplete or improperly-formed command line prefixes
may not be echoed.

2.2.4 Repeating a Command Line

If the prefix "A/" or "a/" is received, the modem immediately executes once again the body of
the preceding command line. No editing is possible, and no termination character is
necessary. A command line may be repeated multiple times in this manner. Responses to the
repeated command line are issued using format of the original command line. If "A/" is
received before any command line has been executed, the preceding command line is
assumed to have been empty (that results in an OK result code).

2.2.5 Types of DTE Commands

There are two types of commands: action commands and parameter commands. Commands of
either type may be included in command lines, in any order.

Action commands may be "executed" (to invoke a particular function of the equipment, which
generally involves more than the simple storage of a value for later use), or "tested" (to
determine whether or not the equipment implements the action command, and, if
subparameters are associated with the action, the ranges of subparameter values that are
supported).

Parameters may be "set" (to store a value or values for later use), "read" (to determine the
current value or values stored), or "tested" (to determine whether or not the equipment
implements the parameter, and the ranges of values supported).

2.3 Basic Syntax Commands

2.3.1 Basic Syntax Command Format

The format of Basic Syntax commands, except for the D and S commands, is as follows:

<command>[<number>]

where <command> is either a single character, or the "&" character followed by a single
character per V.250. In addition, <command> can be the "%" character followed by a single
character, the "*" character followed by a single character, or the "^" character followed by a
single character.

<number> may be a string of one or more characters from "0" through "9" representing a
decimal integer value. Commands that expect a <number> are noted in the description of the
command. If a command expects <number> and it is missing (<command> is immediately
followed in the command line by another <command> or the termination character), the value
"0" is assumed. If a command does not expect a <number> and a number is present, an
ERROR is generated. All leading "0"s in <number> are ignored by the modem.

Additional commands may follow a command (and associated parameter, if any) on the same
command line without any character required for separation. The actions of some commands
cause the remainder of the command line to be ignored (e.g., A).

See the D command for details on the format of the information that follows it.

2.3.2 S-Parameters

Commands that begin with the letter "S" are known as "S-parameters". The number following
the "S" indicates the "parameter number" being referenced. If the number is not recognized as
a valid parameter number, an ERROR result code is issued.

Immediately following this number, either a "?" or "=" character must appear. "?" is used to
read the current value of the indicated S-parameter; "=" is used to set the S-parameter to a
new value.

S<parameter_number>?

S<parameter_number>=[<value>]

If the "=" is used, the new value to be stored in the S-parameter is specified in decimal
following the "=". If no value is given (i.e., the end of the command line occurs or the next
command follows immediately), the S-parameter specified may be set to 0, or an ERROR
result code issued and the stored value left unchanged. The ranges of acceptable values are
given in the description of each S-parameter.

If the "?" is used, the modem transmits a single line of information text to the DTE. The text
portion of this information text consists of exactly three characters, giving the value of the S­parameter in decimal, with leading zeroes included.

100498E Conexant 2-3

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

2.4 Extended Syntax Commands

2.4.1 Command Naming Rules

Both actions and parameters have names, which are used in the related commands. Names
always begin with the character "+". Following the "+", from one to 16 additional characters
appear in the command name. These characters will be selected from the following set:

A through Z (IA5 4/1 through 5/10)

0 through 9 (IA5 3/0 through 3/9)

! (IA5 2/1)

% (IA5 2/5)

- (IA5 2/13)

. (IA5 2/14)

/ (IA5 2/15)

: (IA5 3/10)

_ (IA5 5/15)

The first character following the "+" must be an alphabetic character in the range of "A"
through "Z". This first character generally implies the application in which a command is used
(e.g., F for Fax or V for voice).

2.4.2 Values

The modem considers lower-case characters to be the same as their upper-case equivalents.

When subparameters are associated with the execution of an action, or when setting a
parameter, the command may include specification of values. This is indicated by the
appearance of <value> in the descriptions below.

<value> consists of either a numeric constant or a string constant.

Numeric Constants

Numeric constants are expressed in decimal, hexadecimal, or binary.

Decimal numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0" through
"9", inclusive.

Hexadecimal numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0"
through "9", inclusive, and "A" through "F" inclusive. The characters "A" through "F"
represent the equivalent decimal values 10 through 15.

Binary numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0" and "1".

In all numeric constants, the most significant digit is specified first. Leading "0" characters
are ignored by the modem. No spaces, hyphens, periods, commas, parentheses, or other
generally-accepted numeric formatting characters are permitted in numeric constants; note in
particular that no "H" suffix is appended to the end of hexadecimal constants.

2-4 Conexant 100498E

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

String Constants

String constants consist of a sequence of displayable IA5 characters, each in the range from
2/0 to 7/15, inclusive, except for the characters ‘"’ (IA5 2/2) and "\" (IA5 5/12). String
constants are bounded at the beginning and end by the double-quote character (‘"’, IA5 2/2).

Any character value may be included in the string by representing it as a backslash ("\")
character followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, "\0D" is a string consisting of the
single character <CR> (IA5 0/13). If the "\" character itself is to be represented in a string, it
is encoded as "\5C". The double-quote character, used as the beginning and ending string
delimiter, is represented within a string constant as "\22".

A "null" string constant, or a string constant of zero length, is represented by two adjacent
delimiters ("").

Compound Values

Actions may have more than one subparameter associated with them, and parameters may
have more than one value. These are known as "compound values", and their treatment is the
same in both actions and parameters.

A compound value consists of any combination of numeric and string values (as defined in
the description of the action or parameter). The comma character must be included as a
separator, before the second and all subsequent values in the compound value. If a value is not
specified (i.e., defaults assumed), the required comma separator must be specified; however,
trailing comma characters may be omitted if all associated values are also omitted.

2.4.3 Action Commands

Action Execution Command Syntax

There are two general types of action commands: those that have associated subparameter
values that affect only that invocation of the command, and those that have no subparameters.

If subparameters are associated with a command, the definition of the action command
indicates, for each subparameter, whether the specification of a value for that subparameter is
mandatory or optional. For optional subparameters, the definition indicates the assumed
(default) value for the subparameter if no value is specified for that subparameter; the
assumed value may be either a previous value (i.e., the value of an omitted subparameter
remains the same as the previous invocation of the same command, or is determined by a
separate parameter or other mechanism), or a fixed value (e.g., the value of an omitted
subparameter is assumed to be zero). Generally, the default value for numeric subparameters
is 0, and the default value for string subparameters is "" (empty string).

The following syntax is used for actions that have no subparameters:

+<name>

The following syntax is used for actions that have one subparameter:

+<name>[=<value>]

The following syntax is used for actions that have two or more subparameters:

+<name>[=<compound_value>]

For actions that accept subparameters, if all subparameters are defined as being optional, and
the default values for all subparameters are satisfactory, the data terminal equipment (DTE)
may use the first syntax above (i.e., omit the "=" from the action execution command as well
as all of the subparameter value string).

100498E Conexant 2-5

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

If all other relevant criteria are met (e.g., the modem is in the proper state), the command is
executed with any indicated subparameters. If <name> is not recognized, the modem issues
the ERROR result code and terminates processing of the command line. An ERROR is also
generated if a subparameter is specified for an action that does not accept subparameters, if
too many subparameters are specified, if a mandatory subparameter is not specified, if a value
is specified of the wrong type, or if a value is specified that is not within the supported range.

Action Test Command Syntax

The DTE may test if an action command is implemented in the modem by using the syntax:

+<name>=?

If the modem does not recognize the indicated name, it returns an ERROR result code and
terminates processing of the command line. If the modem does recognize the action name, it
returns an OK result code. If the named action accepts one or more subparameters, the modem
sends an information text response to the DTE, prior to the OK result code, specifying the
values supported by the modem for each such subparameter, and possibly additional
information. The format of this information text is defined for each action command.

2.4.4 Parameter Commands

Parameter Types

Parameters may be defined as "read-only" or "read-write". "Read-only" parameters are used to
provide status or identifying information to the DTE, but cannot be set by the DTE;
attempting to set their value is an error. In some cases (specified in the description of the
individual parameter), the modem may ignore attempts to set the value of such parameters
rather than respond with an ERROR result code, if the continued correct operation of the
interface between the modem and DTE will not be affected by such action. Read-only
parameters may be read and tested.

"Read-write" parameters may be set by the DTE, to store a value or values for later use. Read­write parameters may be set, read, and tested.

Parameters may take either a single value, or multiple (compound) values. Each value may be
either numeric or string; the definition of the parameter will specify the type of value for each
subparameter. Attempting to store a string value in a numeric parameter, or a numeric value in
a string parameter, is an error.

Parameter Set Command Syntax

The definition of the parameter indicates, for each value, whether the specification of that
value is mandatory or optional. For optional values, the definition indicates the assumed
(default) value if none is specified; the assumed value may be either a previous value (i.e., the
value of an omitted subparameter retains its previous value), or a fixed value (e.g., the value
of an omitted subparameter is assumed to be zero). Generally, the default value for numeric
parameters is 0, and the default value for string parameters is "" (empty string).

The following syntax is used for parameters that accept a single value:

+<name>=[<value>]

The following syntax is used for parameters that accept more than one value:

+<name>=[<compound_value>]

For each implemented parameter, if all mandatory values are specified, and all values are
valid according to the definition of the parameter, the specified values are stored. If <name>

2-6 Conexant 100498E

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

is not recognized, one or more mandatory values are omitted, or one or more values are of the
wrong type or outside the permitted range, the modem issues the ERROR result code and
terminates processing of the command line. An ERROR is also generated if too many values
are specified. In case of an error, all previous values of the parameter are unaffected.

Parameter Read Command Syntax

The DTE may determine the current value or values stored in a parameter by using the
following syntax:

+<name>?

The modem responds by sending the current values stored for the parameter to the DTE in an
information text response. The format of this response is described in the definition of the
parameter. Generally, the values are sent in the same form in which they would be issued by
the DTE in a parameter setting command; if multiple values are supported, they will generally
be separated by commas, as in a parameter setting command.

Parameter Test Command Syntax

The DTE may test if a parameter is implemented in the modem, and determine the supported
values, by using the syntax:

+<name>=?

If the modem does not recognize the indicated name, it returns an ERROR result code and
terminates processing of the command line. If the modem does recognize the parameter name,
it returns an information text response to the DTE, followed by an OK result code. The
information text response indicates the values supported by the modem for each such
subparameter, and possibly additional information. The format of this information text is
defined for each parameter.

2.4.5 Additional Syntax Rules

Concatenating Commands after Extended Syntax Commands

Additional commands may follow an extended-syntax command on the same command line if
a semicolon (";") is inserted after the preceding extended command as a separator. The
semicolon is not necessary when the extended syntax command is the last command on the
command line.

Concatenating Commands after Basic Format Commands

Extended syntax commands may appear on the same command line after a basic syntax
command without a separator, in the same manner as concatenation of basic syntax
commands.

100498E Conexant 2-7

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

2.5 Issuing Commands

All characters in a command line must be issued at the same data rate, and with the
same parity and format.

The modem will ignore any command line that is not properly terminated. The modem may
consider 30 seconds of mark idle time between any two characters as an improperly
terminated command line. In this case the modem may or may not generate an ERROR
message. The modem will ignore any characters received from the DTE that are not part of a
properly-formatted command line.

If the maximum number of characters that the modem can accept in the body is exceeded, an
ERROR result code is generated after the command line is terminated.

The DTE will not begin issuing a subsequent command line until at least one-tenth of a
second has elapsed after receipt of the entire result code issued by the modem in response to
the preceding command line.

2.6 Executing Commands

Upon receipt of the termination character, the modem commences execution of the commands
in the command line in the order received from the DTE. Should execution of a command
result in an error, or a character be not recognized as a valid command, execution is
terminated, the remainder of the command line is ignored, and the ERROR result code is
issued. Otherwise, if all commands execute correctly, only the result code associated with the
last command is issued; result codes for preceding commands are suppressed. If no
commands appear in the command line, the OK result code is issued.

2.6.1 Aborting Commands

Some action commands that require time to execute may be aborted while in progress; these
are explicitly noted in the description of the command. Aborting of commands is
accomplished by the transmission from the DTE to the modem of any character. A single
character is sufficient to abort the command in progress; however, characters transmitted
during the first 125 milliseconds after transmission of the termination character are ignored
(to allow for the DTE to append additional control characters such as line feed after the
command line termination character). To ensure that the aborting character is recognized

by the modem, it should be sent at the same rate as the preceding command line; the
modem may ignore characters sent at other rates. When such an aborting event is

recognized by the modem, the modem terminates the command in progress and returns an
appropriate result code to the DTE, as specified for the particular command.

2-8 Conexant 100498E

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

2.6.2 Handling of Invalid Numbers and S-Parameter Values

The modem reacts to undefined numbers and S-parameter values in one of three ways:

1. Issue the ERROR result code, and leave the previous value of the parameter unchanged;

2. Issue the OK result code, and leave the previous value of the parameter unchanged; or,

3. Issue the OK result code, and set the parameter value to the valid value nearest to that

specified in the command line.

The description of each command specifies which of these three techniques is used to handle
invalid parameter values for that command or parameter.

2.7 Modem Responses

While in command state and online command state, the modem will issue responses using the
same rate, word length, and parity as the most recently received DTE command line. In the
event that no DTE command has yet been received, rate, word length, and parity used will
depend on the capabilities of the modem.

When the modem transitions from the command state or online command state to the online
data state, the result code CONNECT should be issued at the bit rate and parity used during
the command state. When the modem transitions from the online data state to the command
state or online command state, the result codes should be issued at the bit rate used during the
online data state. Thereafter, any unsolicited result codes should use the bit rate and parity of
the last command line issued by the DTE to the modem.

The characters of a response will be contiguous, with no more than 100 milliseconds of mark
idle issued between characters in addition to stop elements.

2.7.1 Responses

There are two types of responses that may be issued by the modem: information text and
result codes.

Information Text. Information text responses consist of three parts: a header, information
text, and a trailer:

1. The characters transmitted for the header are determined by the V command.

2. The trailer consists of two characters, being the character having the ordinal value of

3. Information text usually consists of a single line; information text returned in response to

Result Code Parts. Result codes consist of three parts: a header, the result text, and a trailer.

1. The characters transmitted for the header and trailer are determined by the V command

2. The result text may be transmitted as a number or as a string, also depending on a the V

parameter S3 followed by the character having the ordinal value of parameter S4.

some commands may contain multiple lines, and the text may therefore include CR, LF,
and other formatting characters to improve readability.

setting.

command setting.

100498E Conexant 2-9

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

Result Code Types. There are three types of result codes: final, intermediate, and unsolicited.
Result codes are described in Section 3.4.

1. A final result code indicates the completion of a full modem action and an ability to

accept new commands from the DTE.

2. An intermediate result code is a report of the progress of an modem action. The

CONNECT result code is an intermediate result code. In the case of a dialing or
answering command, the modem switches from command state to online data state, and
issues a CONNECT result code. This is an intermediate result code for the modem
because it cannot accept commands from the DTE while in online data state. When the
modem switches back to the command state it then issues a final result code (such as OK
or NO CARRIER).

3. Unsolicited result codes (such as RING) indicate the occurrence of an event not directly

associated with the issuance of a command from the DTE.

2.7.2 Extended Syntax Result Codes

Extended syntax result codes may be issued in response to either basic or extended
commands, or both. The appropriate responses are specified in the definitions of the
commands, the responses, or both.

The general format of extended syntax result codes is the same as result codes defined in TIA­602 with regard to headers and trailers. The characters specified in S-parameters S3 and S4
are used in headers and trailers of extended syntax result codes as they are in basic format
result codes. The setting of the V command affects the headers and trailers associated with
extended syntax result codes in the same manner as basic format result codes; however, unlike
basic format result codes, extended syntax result codes have no numeric equivalent, and are
always issued in alphabetic form.

Extended syntax result codes are subject to suppression by the Q1 command, as with basic
format result codes. The issuance of extended syntax result codes are not be affected by the
setting of the X command.

Extended syntax result codes may be either final, intermediate, or unsolicited; the type being
indicated in the definition of the result code.

Extended syntax result codes are prefixed by the "+" character to avoid duplication of basic
format result codes specified in TIA-602. Following the "+" character, the name of the result
code appears; result code names follow the same rules as command names.

Extended syntax result codes may include the reporting of values. The definition of the result
code specifies whether or not values are appended to the result code, and, if so, how many,
their types, and their assumed default values if omitted.

Data/voice Modes. When no values are to be reported, the result code appears in the simplest
form:

+<name>

If a single value is to be reported, the form of the result code is:

+<name>: <value>

A single space character separates the colon character from the <value>; no space appears
between the result code name and the colon. If multiple values are to be reported with the
result code, the form is:

+<name>: <compound_value>

2-10 Conexant 100498E

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

Fax Modes. If a single value is to be reported, the form of the result code is:

<value> or (<value>)

2.7.3 +<name>: <compound_value>Information Text Formats for Test Commands

In general, the format of information text returned by extended syntax commands is described
in the definition of the command.

The modem may insert intermediate <CR> characters in very long information text responses
in order to avoid overrunning DTE receive buffers. If intermediate <CR> characters are
included, the modem does not include the character sequences "0 <CR>"or "OK<CR>", so
that DTE can avoid false detection of the end of these information text responses.

Range of Values

When the action accepts a single numeric subparameter, or the parameter accepts only one
numeric value, the set of supported values may be presented in the information text as an
ordered list of values. The list is preceded by a left parenthesis (() , and is followed by a right
parenthesis ()). If only a single value is supported, it appears between the parentheses. If more
than one value is supported, then the values may be listed individually, separated by comma
characters, or, when a continuous range of values is supported, by the first value in the range,
followed by a hyphen character (-), followed by the last value in the range. The specification
of single values and ranges of values may be intermixed within a single information text. In
all cases, the supported values are indicated in ascending order.

For example, the following are some examples of value range indications:

(0) Only the value 0 is supported.

(1,2,3) The values 1, 2, and 3 are supported.

(1-3) The values 1 through 3 are supported.

(0,4,5,6,9,11,12) The several listed values are supported.

(0,4-6,9,11-12) An alternative expression of the above list.

Compound Range of Values

When the action accepts more than one subparameter, or the parameter accepts more than one
value, the set of supported values is presented as a list of the parenthetically-enclosed value
range strings described above, separated by commas. For example, the information text in
response to testing an action that accepts three subparameters, and supports various ranges for
each of them, could appear as follows:

(0),(1-3),(0,4-6,9,11-12)

This indicates that the first subparameter accepts only the value 0, the second accepts any
value from 1 through 3 inclusive, and the third subparameter accepts any of the values 0, 4, 5,
6, 9, 11, or 12.

3 Data Command Set

3.1 Command Guidelines

The commands used to control and report modem operation in data modem mode are defined
in this section.

The Data Modem Mode commands and responses described in this section are applicable
when command +FCLASS=0. (See +FCLASS in Section 3.2.1 for the definition of the
FCLASS command.)

The default values are typical of a fully configured modem supporting all data rates and
options. The actual default value is dependent upon modem software as defined by the .INF
File.

Commands are accepted by the modem once the previous command has been fully executed,
which is normally indicated by the return of an appropriate result code. Execution of
commands D and A, either as a result of a direct command or a re-execute command, will be
aborted if another character is entered before completion of the handshake.

3.1.1 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.

3.2 Data Commands

The modem will respond to the commands detailed below. Parameters applicable to each
command are listed with the command description. The defaults shown correspond to default
values provided in the .INF File.

&C - RLSD Behavior

This parameter determines how the state of the Received Line Signal Detector (RLSD) output
relates to the detection of received line signal from the distant end. Changing the parameter
will take effect immediately in both the command and online command states.

In &C1 mode of operation, RLSD is not turned off until all data previously received from the
remote modem is delivered to the local DTE. However, such buffered data will be discarded
and RLSD will be turned off if the DTE turns off DTR (if &D1 or &D2 is set).

Syntax

&D[<value>]

Defined Values

<value> Decimal number corresponding to the selected option.

0 Modem ignores DTR.

1 Upon an on-to-off transition of DTR, the modem

enters online command state and issues an OK result
code; the call remains connected.

2 Upon an on-to-off transition of DTR, the modem

instructs the underlying modem to perform an orderly
cleardown of the call. The disposition of any data in
the modem pending transmission to the remote
modem is controlled by the +ETBM parameter;
otherwise, this data is sent before the call is cleared,
unless the remote modem clears the call first (in
which case pending data is discarded). The modem
disconnects from the line. Automatic answer is

+IPR - Fixed DTE Rate

This numeric extended-format parameter specifies the data rate at which the modem will
accept commands during online operation. It may be used to select operation at rates at which
the modem is not capable of automatically detecting the data rate being used by the DTE.
Specifying a value of 0 disables the function and allows operation only at rates automatically
detectable by the modem. The specified rate takes effect following the issuance of any result
code(s) associated with the current command line.

The <rate> specified does not apply in OnLine Data State if Normal Mode (Direct Mode) of
operation is selected.

Syntax

Defined Values

<rate> Specifies the DTE-modem interface operation rate in bits/s. The

available rates are:

0, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200.

If unspecified or set to 0, automatic detection is selected and the

3.2.3 Call Control

D - Dial

This command directs the modem to go on-line, dial according to the entered string 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. NOTE: If the ATD command is issued before the
S1 register has cleared, the modem will respond with the NO CARRIER result code.

<rate> Decimal value representing the current (negotiated or renegotiated)

DTE-modem rate:

0, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or
115200

<rx_rate> Optional decimal value reporting the RXD rate, if it is different

0, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or
115200

+ILRR: 19200

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 upon receipt of any DTE character before
completion of the handshake.

If +FCLASS=1 or 1.0 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 finishes
dialing, it will proceed as if the +FRH=3 command is issued. (Refer to the +FRH command to
determine how the modem behaves following this stage.)

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

P Select 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.

T Select 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.

W Wait 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 or S6, the modem will abort the rest of the
sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.

* The 'star' digit (tone dialing only).

# The 'gate' digit (tone dialing only).

+

! Flash: the modem will go on-hook for a time defined by the value

of S29. Country requirements may limit the time imposed.

@ 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 will handshake.

$ Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial

string. If the tone is not detected within the time specified by S7 or
S6, the modem will abort the rest of the sequence, return on-hook,
and generate an error message.

& Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial

string. If the tone is not detected within the time specified by S7 or
S6, 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 commands while remaining off-hook. The
additional 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.

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

T - Set Tone Dial Default

This command forces DTMF dialing until the next P dial modifier or P command is received.
The modem will set an S-Parameter bit to indicate that all subsequent dialing should be
conducted in tone mode. Note that the DP command will override this command. Clears S14
bit 5.

This command may not be permitted in some countries. (See P.)

Syntax

T

Result Codes

OK

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.

A - Answer

The modem will go off-hook and will 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 will hang up. Any character entered during the connect sequence will abort the
connection attempt.

If +FCLASS=1.0 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. Following a delay of 70 ms, it
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.)

3.2.7 V.8/V.8bis Commands

+A8E - V.8 and V.8bis Operation Controls

This command is defined for two conditions: as a parameter while the modem is on-hook,
and as an action command while the modem is off-hook. If enabled, V.8 negotiation does not
preclude simultaneous implementation of other negotiation means (e.g., V.8bis, V.18, V.32bis
Annex A).

This command is a compound parameter if issued while the modem is on-hook, used to
precondition V.8 and V.8bis originating and answering operation. It is issued by the DTE
before the Dial (D) or Answer (A) command, regardless of the state of the +FCLASS
parameter.

This command is an action command if issued while the modem is off-hook, to (re)start V.8
or V.8bis negotiation. For example, if initial V.8 negotiation failed, but subsequent T.30
negotiation indicated V.8 capability, this command may be used to initiate V.8 negotiation.

Syntax

+A8E=<v8o>,<v8a>,<v8cf>[,<v8b>][,<cfrange>][,<protrange>]

+ITF - Transmit Flow Control Thresholds

In V.80 Synchronous Access Mode, this optional compound parameter allows the DTE to
determine the effective input buffer size in the modem for data on transmit data from the
DTE, to control the thresholds 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 thresholds for flow control of data on received data from the modem.

Syntax

+ITF=[<off>[,<on>[,<report_period>]]]

Defined Values

<off> Determines the threshold, in octets, above which the modem will

generate a flow off signal. Applicable in Synchronous Access
Mode.

The <off> range is 20 -7000. Default <off> value is 128.

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 XON and XOFF if these are used to signal <modem­by-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 set to default values.

<on> Determines the threshold, in octets, below which the modem will

generate a flow on signal. Applicable in Synchronous Access
Mode.

The <on> range is 10 -5000. Default <on> value is 64.

<report_period> Not supported. A fixed value of zero is used and reported.

3.2.9 Diagnostic and Test Commands

#UD – Last Call Status Report

#UD is an action command requesting reporting of logged operation events. It does not take
parameters and must be the last command in the command line.

The modem logs aspects of their operation for each call, and saves these results until cleared
by one of the following events:

1. Power off

2. Hard reset (e.g., negate DTR with &D3 set; reset button)

3. Soft reset = ATZ or AT&F

4. ATD command issued

5. ATA command issued

6. Automatic answer (e.g., set register S0>0 and ring detected)

These results are NOT cleared by changing DTR, V.24 circuit 108.2, if &D0, &D1 or &D2.

Data Call State Model

For purposes of this command, there are four data call states, and associated status issues:

• Call Setup

− Calling DCE: get dial tone, generate dial digits, detect call progress signals.

− Answering DCE: detect ringing, detect CallerID, etc.

• Negotiation

− V.25 calling tone/answer tone exchanges

− V.8 or V.8bis call function negotiations

− V-series modem carrier detection and training

− Modem-to-modem protocols (e.g., V.42, V.42bis).

• Data Transfer

− Bit-error rates, for each direction

− Rate renegotiation

− Retraining

• Call Termination

− protocol disconnect signals

− carrier disconnect signals

− loss of carrier

− excessive error rates

Commands for Host-Processed Modems Reference Manual

Command Syntax

In response to this command, the modem will report one or more lines of information text as
defined below. Information text format conforms to V.250; each line is preceded by a
<CR><LF> pair, and terminated by <CR><LF>. (CR and LF characters may be changed by
writing new values to the contents of registers S3 and S4, respectively.)

The modem may generate a single line or multiple lines, followed by a standard OK final
result code. For example, if call setup failed, only that result is useful. Each information text
line is formatted as follows, including one or more key=value pairs:

Syntax

#UD

Response

DIAG <token key=value [[key=value] [key=value]] …>

Defined Values

DIAG 5 hexadecimal characters (44h, 49h, 41h, 47h, 20h)

< Left angle bracket (less than sign) (3Ch)

token Unique 32-bit hexadecimal string 2A4D3263(32h, 4h1, 34h, 44h,

33h, 32h, 36h, 33h)

space space character (20h)

Key One- or two-digit hexadecimal number (see Key in Table 3-3)

= Equal sign (3Dh)

Value Any string as defined below (Table 3-3 - as Table 3-8 appropriate)

> Right angle bracket (greater than sign) (3Eh)

Unless otherwise noted, all values are hexadecimal numbers. Any numeric values from tables
in ITU V.58 are converted to hexadecimal. Multi-digit values are reported MSD first. Leading
0’s may be deleted. See examples in Table 3-12.

Monitoring an active connection

This command is intended for use after call termination. However, codes are defined so that a
modem can respond before the first call is placed, and during a call for live monitoring
purposes. For example, key 60, call termination, has value 1 defined, indicating that the call is
still in progress.

There are at least two ways to do this. First, the DTE could switch the modem to On-Line
command state, issue the command, capture the responses and then issue an ATO command.
For smoother on-line monitoring, in-band means defined in ITU V.80 are recommended if
available in the modem. If V.80 methods are used, each response line shall be a separate
extended in-band message.

Notes for Tables

1. The modem may insert a delay (e.g., 10 ms) between information text lines.

2. The code tables include values for data and fax calls. Some of the codes are applicable

only to data calls (e.g., data compression), some are applicable only to call origination
(e.g., busy, answering signal detection) and some are applicable only to the answering
modem (e.g., calling signal detection).

%TT - PTT Test Command

This command facilitates PTT testing of signal levels by providing continuous signals regards
of whether or not the modem is connected to the line. The signal transmitted is in accordance
with the parameter provided.

A range of commands allows the user to initiate a series of signals required to obtain PTT
approval. The signals emitted include answer tone, modulation, carriers, and other pertinent
signals. A test is initiated upon receipt of a %TTn (the second T is a password and n is a test
number), and the test is aborted when any keyboard character is entered. The modem will
continuously transmit the tone or carrier according to the parameter supplied.

+PMHR - Initiate Modem-on-Hold

This command requests the modem to initiate or to confirm a modem-on-hold procedure. The
modem will return ERROR if modem-on-hold is not enabled or if the modem is in an idle
condition. The modem will return the string response +PMHR: <value> where <value> is a
decimal value corresponding to the status of the modem's hold exchange procedure as defined
below. This response may be delayed depending upon the context under which the +PMHR
command is made, i.e., if the +PMHR is in response to an incoming modem-on-hold or if it is
initiating a request.

Note: If modem-on-hold is enabled but the remote server does not support V.92 then the
modem will always report 0 to show that the hold request is denied.

The modem selects an S-Parameter, performs an S-Parameter read or write function, or
reports the value of an S-Parameter.

n Establishes S-Parameter n as the last register accessed.

n=v Sets S-Parameter n to the value v.

n? Reports the value of S-Parameter n.

The parameter n can be omitted, in which case the last S-Parameter accessed will be assumed.
The S can be omitted for AT= and AT?, in which case the last S-Parameter 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 outside the range of the S-Parameters available, the modem will return
the ERROR message. If the value “v” is outside the range permitted for a given S-Parameter,
the modem will return the ERROR message. Input and output are always in decimal format.
Note that some S-Parameters are read-only.

In some cases, writing to the S-Parameter will appear to be accepted but the value will not
actually be written.

3.3.1 Factory Defaults

The factory default values are stored in the Registry and are loaded into the active
configuration at power up or by the Z command. In addition, the default profile is
subsequently loaded, and may change some of the factory default values.

The default values in the Registry may be loaded at any time by entering the &F command.

3.3.2 S-Parameter Definitions

S0 - Number of Rings to Automatic Answer

S0 sets the number of the rings required before the modem automatically answers a call.
Setting this parameter 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 - Line Termination Character

S3 sets the decimal value of the command line and result code terminator character. Pertains
to asynchronous operation only.

Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal

Default: 13 (Carriage Return)

S4 - Response Formatting Character

S4 sets the decimal value of the character generated by the modem as part of the header,
trailer, and terminator for result codes and information text, along with the S3 parameter (see
the description of the V parameter for usage). If the value of S4 is changed in a command
line, the result code issued in response to that command line will use the new value of S4.

The Response Formatting character is output after the Line Termination character if verbose
result codes are used.

Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal

Default: 10 (Line Feed)

S5 - Command Line Editing Character

S5 s sets the decimal value of the character recognized by the modem as a request to delete
from the command line the immediately preceding character. The modem will not recognize
the Command Line Editing 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 Command Line Editing character, an ASCII space
character and a second Command Line Editing character; this means a total of three
characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the Command Line Editing
character.

Range: 0-32, ASCII decimal

Default: 8 (Backspace)

S6 - Wait Time for Dial Tone Before Blind Dialing, or After “W” Dial Modifier

S6 sets one of two possible parameters:

1. Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait before starting to dial after

going off-hook when blind dialing.

2. If enabled by country options in the INF file, 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

S7 sets one of three possible parameters:

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 after the billing
delay in answer mode. 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. If enabled by country options in the INF file, 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

S8 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

S10 - Lost Carrier To Hang Up Delay

S10 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)*

* In V.34 and V.90 modes, it is not easy to detect a loss of carrier within the S10 time because
of the echo of the transmitted signal. It takes over 30 seconds to determine that carrier is
actually lost and then the S10 value comes into effect. In V.21/V.22 modes, the register
operates as described.

S11 - DTMF Tone Duration

S11 sets the duration of tones in DTMF dialing. This value has no effect on pulse dialing.

Range: 50-255 milliseconds

Default: 95 (95 milliseconds)

S12 - Escape Prompt Delay (EPD)

S12 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)

S18 - Test Timer

S18 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem conducts a test (commanded by &T1)
before returning to the command mode. If this parameter value is zero, the test will not
automatically terminate; the test must be terminated from the command mode by issuing an
&T0 or H command. When S18 is non-zero, the modem returns the OK message upon test
termination.

Range: 0-255 seconds

Default: 0
