Special Requirements For Canada
Certain requirements exist for data communication products
manufactured for use in Canada. Principle among these requirements is
the application of the IC label as described below. However , certain data
communication products do not require the IC label nor adherence to IC
requirements. If this is the case the IC label will not be affixed to the
units.
Industry Canada (IC) Requirements
IC labels are affixed to each unit sold in Canada. This label has the
certification number for that particular unit. The numbers are different
for each model.
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety
requirements. IC does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s
inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs
or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equ ip ment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment. For their own protection
users should ensure that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.

Each column item has a correspondin g header in the previous co lumn. If
an option setting is selected or if all settings have been scrolled through,
the display returns to the header.
Because of the menu structure and option choices, not all main menus
use all four columns in Table 4-1. However, option selection and
sequence are the same.
While operating in the option menu, pressing NO scrolls vertically
down the columns; pressing YES advances horizontally across the

Front Panel Operation
Front Panel Security
The Front Panel Security feature provides password protection for fro nt
panel menu access. The modem is shipped from the factory with this
feature disabled.
The Front Panel Security password is a 4-digit string that can be set to
any combination of digits f rom “000 0” t o “999 9”. S el ecti ng a pas swor d
of “0000” disables Front Panel Security; any other password enables it.
IMPORTANT: Without your password, you cannot access front panel
configuration. Keep your password in a safe place. If you forget your
Front Panel Security password, contact Technical Support. Refer to
“Calling Technical Support” section on page 12-2.
When this feature is enabled, it can be activated in these ways:
• Explicitly, by a front panel screen under Main Menu #7
• By the modem, when no front panel but tons have been p ressed for
3 minutes
When Front Panel Security is activated, th e front panel menu returns to
Main Menu #1 and the front panel is secured.
In secured state, the Main Menu #1 screen continues to maintain modem
status, but a password must be entered before other front panel screens
may be accessed. Pressing any front panel button causes the modem to
prompt for the fr ont panel passw ord. After the pa ssword has been
entered, a message briefly displays the result of the password validation
process and, depending on the result, Front Panel Securi ty either
becomes inactive or returns to its active state.
During password entry, the front panel buttons are operate as follows:
• Pressing NO makes the character at the cursor change to the next
valid password character.
• Pressing YES while the cursor is on any of the first three password
characters makes the cursor advance to the next password
character. When the cursor is on the last password character,
pressing YES makes the modem accept the displayed password.
• P res sin g TALK/DATA while the cursor is on the first password
character aborts password entry. When the cursor is on any other
character, this button makes the cursor move to the first character.
V.36004-11
Chapter 5
AT Commands
This chapter describes commands used to select options and operate the
modem. Some options depend on, or are restricted by, the mode of
operation. Appendix E provides a quick reference list.
Command Categories
The modem offers these major categories of command statements:
• Response (page 5-5)
• Dial (page 5-13)
• Answer (page 5-17)
• T ermin al Interface (page 5-19)
• General (page 5-22)
• Private Line (page 5-33)
• Configuration (page 5-37)
• Remote Configuration (page 5-41)
Other AT command groups are discussed in these chapters:
• Protocol (Chapter 6)
• T est (Chapter 7)
• Security (Chapter 8)
• Fax (Chapter 9)
• S-registers (Chapter 10)
Operation Modes
In asynchronous operation, the modem functions in one of these modes:
• Offline Command Mode
• Online Command Mode
• Data Mode
V.36005-1
AT Commands
Offline Command Mode
In offline command mode (generally referred to as comman d mode), the
modem communicates with the computer or terminal. Commands can
be entered separately or in strings. There is no data communication link
established in this mode.
Online Command Mode
This mode is entered from the data mode after the escape command has
been entered. The escape command is perfo rmed by en tering the escape
character (+ is the default) three times. The data communication link
remains established but data transmissio n is suspended. The modem
then accepts commands as it does in offline command mode.
Data Mode
The modem goes to data mode (online) after it acknowledges the p roper
signal and successfully connects with a compatible modem. In data
mode, the modem sends and receives data, but does not accept or
execute command instructions.
Example: The modem is in the command state. The D command and
phone number are used to dial a remote mo dem. The local modem waits
to receive an answer back tone from the remote modem. When the local
modem receives the carrier , it leaves th e command state and go es online
in the data mode. At this time, both modems are using the telephone line
and a communication link is established.
Sending Commands to the Modem
When the computer, modem, and monitor are on, an instruction can be
sent to the modem telling it what function or activity to p erfor m. The
instruction, called a command statement, command string, or command,
is typed using the computer/terminal keyboard. The command statement
temporarily resides in a section of memory called the command buffer.
Each command statement is made up of characters, numbers, and
keyboard symbols such as the & and % signs. Commands must be
written in a specific form so the modem recognizes and follows the
instruction.
5-2V.3600
AT Commands
Creating a Command Statement — AT
To create a command statement use the following steps:
1) Type AT. This is the Attention Code telling the unit a command
statement follows.
2) Type the command.
3) Press the Enter key to send the command statement to the
modem.
An example of a command statement using the dial command (D)
follows.
ATD554-1212
This statement can be read as “Attention: Dial 554-1212.”
Another AT command statement example is:
ATZ
This statement can be read as “Attention: execute the Z command.”
After entering a command line the modem returns a response message
indicating whether or not the command was accepted or giving the data
requested by the command line.
To clear command statements from the buffer you can:
• Turn the modem off,
•Enter AT, or
• Use the DTR reset feature (“Data T erminal Ready — &D” section
on page 5-20).
Autobaud
The attention code (AT) is analyzed by the modem to determine the
transmission speed, parity, and bits per character us ed b y the DTE. This
autobaud process is repeated each time the AT command prefix is sent.
Guidelines for Creating Command Statements
The attention code (AT) may be upper or lower case but not a
combination like aT.
•Press the Enter key to execute a command.
• The command buffer can hold 80 characters.
• Use the backspace or delete key to erase the last character.
Even though the initial AT code must be all upper or lower case,
characters that follow can be any mix of upper and lower case.
V.36005-3
AT Commands
Monitor Display
As commands are typed they appear on the monitor so the operator can
verify the input. This is called local character echo. The echo may be
turned on or off using AT commands. Refer to the “Local Character
Echo — E” section on page 5-22 for details.
Command Statement Buffer
The modem temporarily stores up to 80 characters in the command
buffer. If this limit is exceeded, the modem does not accept the
command and sends an ERROR message. To correct this condition,
retype the command using 80 characters or less.
The AT characters and punctuation used in telephone numbers do not
take up space in the buffer. Blank characters used as spaces to help
increase readability are not counted. For example, the modem reads the
commands:
ATD (212) 554-1212
ATD2125551212
ATD 212 555 1212
as having 11 characters each. Commands can be typed in any of these
forms.
Backspace Key
Use the backspace key to change the command statement or correct
errors. The backspace key allows the cursor to be moved back to the
character(s) in error. The command can then be retyped from that point.
Example: ATD5551211 has been typed. To change the last 1 to 2,
press the backspace key once, type 2, and press Enter to execute the
command.
Repeating a Command — A/
This command tells the computer to repeat the last command stored in
its buffer. It automatically reexecutes the command without retyping.
The return key does not need to be pressed.
Example: The ATD5551212 command has been executed, and the
phone is busy. To repeat the instruction type A/. Do not use AT before
this command: AT empties the buffer.
5-4V.3600
AT Commands
Numbered Commands
Commands that start with the same letter are distinguished by a number
following the letter.
For example, the M0 command selects speaker always off, M1 speaker
on until carrier detected, and M2 selects speaker always on.
Note
The zero (0) may be omitted; the commands M and M0 are
identical. This manual uses the nonzero form. The modem
treats both the same, but zeros count against the buffer total.
Group Commands
A group of commands can be typed in a single command statement.
Pressing the Enter key sends the entire command string to the modem,
which executes each command individually in the order it appears in the
command statement reading from left to right.
For example, the command statement ATQ0V0L3DT5551212 means
• AT Attention.
• Q Allow response messages to be sent.
• V Select digit code responses.
• L3 Select high volum e.
• DT Tone dial 555-1212.
The modem executes the AT command fo llowed b y the Q, V, L, D, and T
commands. ATQ0V0L3DT5551212 can be read as ATQVL3DT5551212. Eliminating zeros reduces the number of
characters, allowing more room in the buffer.
The dial D command initiates the dial process so no oth e r commands,
only dial modifiers, can follow it.
Note
Bold text indicates command parameter defaults.
Response Commands
The modem communicates with the operator through response
messages. These appear on the monitor or a computer printout to show
the result of the command or action executed. Response messages can
appear as words or numbers.
V.36005-5
AT Commands
Digit / Word Selection — V
The V command tells the modem which type of response message to
show on the monitor. Some software requires digit response mess ages
but words are easier to remember.
CommandOperation
VEnables digit response me ssages
V1Enables word response messages
Response Displays — Q
The Q command enables or disables response messages. The modem
still responds to commands when the response display is inhibited.
CommandOperation
QResponse display on
Q1Response display off
Q2Response display on in originate mode only
Negotiation Displays — W
The W command enables or disables negotiation response messages.
These messages are verbose negotiation status displays to alert the user
to the link rate, protocol, and DTE rate.
CommandOperation
WDisables negotiation displays
W1Enables negotiation displays
W2Displays DCE link rate only
Connect Message Codes — \V
The V.3600 AT\V command provides the following connect
message options
The X command selects response code/message displays and dialing
options such as call progress monitoring, busy signal or dial tone
detection and blind dialing.
CommandOperation
XDial tone and busy signal detection not selected;
CONNECT (code 1) response messages dis played
for all speeds
X1 Dial tone and busy signal detection not selected;

X2Dial tone detection only; NO DIAL TONE message
or code appears if dial tone not detected within 5
seconds
X3Busy signal detection only; BUSY message or code
appears if dialed number is busy
X4Dial tone and busy signal detection; appropriate
CONNECT message or code displayed
The X command followed by a dial command makes the modem go off
hook, wait the amount of t im e set in register S6, and dial the number. If
connection is made, the modem returns a CONNECT (code 1) message
to the screen regardless of the connection rate. With a basic response,
the modem does not detect a busy or no dial tone condition.
The X1 command followed by a dial command makes the modem go off
hook, wait the amount of t im e set in register S6, and dial the number. If
connection is made the modem returns an appropriate CONNECT
message or code to the screen. The modem does not detect a busy or no
dial tone situation.
The X2 command followed by a dial comman d makes the modem go off
hook and wait for a d ial to ne befor e dial ing. If a di al to ne is no t det ected
within 5 seconds, the modem sends a NO DIALTONE message and
hangs up. The modem does not detect a busy situation in this mode.
V.36005-7
AT Commands
The X3 command followed by a dial command makes the modem go off
hook, wait the amount of time set in register S6 and dial the number. If
a busy signal is detected, the modem sends a BUSY message and hangs
up. If the call is completed, the appropriate CONNECT message similar
to X1 is displayed. The modem does not detect a no dial tone situation.
The X4 command followed by a dial command makes the modem go off
hook and wait for a d ial to ne befor e dial ing. If a di al to ne is no t det ected
within 5 seconds, the modem returns a NO DIALTONE message and
hangs up. If a busy signal is detected, the modem returns a BUSY
message and hangs up. If the call is completed, the appropriate
CONNECT message similar to X1 is displayed.
The X4 command combines the features of X1, X2, and X3. T he factory
setting is X4.
Note
When an X2, X3, or X4 command is in effect, an appropriate CONNECT data rate message or code is displayed as for X1.
When a blind dial command (X, X1, X3) is in effect, the
modem waits 2 seconds or the time set in S6 and then dials.
Number Code Application — *RC
Some communications software packages use different number codes to
indicate the data rate of the serial port. This option selects either of two
commonly used number code sets.

Dial Commands
Dial commands let the modem originate a call to another modem. These
commands can be used with either tone or pu lse di al teleph one syst ems.
Dialing — D
To dial a number, for example 555-1212, insert the D command in
the dialing sequence.
AT D 555-1212
The modem dials the number, either pulse or tone, whichever is in
effect, and takes the role of the originate modem.
V.36005-13
AT Commands
Use spaces, hyphens, parentheses, or other punctuation, except dial
modifiers, to make the command line easier to read and enter. For
example, these are all treated the same:
AT D 1-800-555-1212
AT D 1 (800) 555-1212
ATD18005551212
The dial modifiers are as follows.
CommandOperation
TTone dialing
PPulse dialing
,Insert a long pause (2 sec or value in S8)
WWait for 2nd dial tone
!Flash (1/2 sec)
RSwitch to answer mode after dialing
;Return to command mode after dialing
@Wait for silence
SDial stored command line or number
Tone Dialing — T
To tone dial a number sequence, insert a T in the dial sequence.
AT D T 323-1111
In this example, the modem tone dials the telephone number. The
dialing method selected remains in effect until changed.
Pulse Dialing — P
To pulse dial a number sequence, insert a P in the dial sequence.
AT D P 554-9902
Insert Long Pause — ,
T o insert a long pau se in the dialing sequence, use a comma. T his inserts
a 2 second delay (or the value in register S8).
AT D P 9, 1-800-554-1000
Here the modem pulse dials a 9, pauses for the telephone system to
switch to an outside line, then dials the phone number. Comma pauses
may be inserted consecutively if desired.
5-14V.3600
AT Commands
Wait for Second Dial Tone — W
To wait for second dial tone insert a W in the dialing sequence.
AT D 9 W 323-8000
Instead of using a comma pause for an outside line, wait up to 30
seconds (time specified by S7) for a second dial tone.
Hook Flash — !
To flash the switchboard, insert an exclamation mark in the dialing
sequence.
AT D T 9W 323-8000 ,!, #7 377
This inserts a 0.5 second on hook condition, usually for transferring a
call or similar use.
In this example, the modem tone dials a 9, waits for the second dial
tone, dials the phone number, pauses, flashes to start the transfer, pauses
a second time, then uses #7 to transfer the call to extension 377.
Switching to Answer Mode after Dialing — R
To switch to answer mode after dialing, use an R at the end of the dial
sequence.
AT D 554-2345 R
Use this command suffix to call an originate-only modem.
Remaining in Command Mode — ;
T o remain in com mand mode af ter dialin g, p lace a semicolon at the end
of the dial sequence.
AT D 234-5678;
The modem will dial the telephone number entered but will not attempt
to train when the remote service answers the call.
This is used to retain control so that further dialing tones may be entered
with the following:
AT DTn;
where n= additional tones to be sent.
V.36005-15
AT Commands
Wait for 5 Seconds of Silence — @
To wait for 5 seconds of silence (no answer back tone) after accessing
an electronic service, use the @ command in the dialing sequence.
AT D 399-4700 @ 2251 ;
In this example the modem dials the number and, after the connection,
waits for 5 consecutive seconds of silence. The modem then sends
service code 2251 and returns to command mode for further input.
For example, you might enter a dollar amount for a banking transaction
by entering
AT D 1400 ;
This sends the sequence 1400 and then returns to the command mode
for further entries, according to the requirements of the banking service.
Dialing a Stored Telephone Number — Sn
To dial one of the previously stored numbers, enter Sn where n
represents a stored telephone number location between 1 and 9.
AT D S9
In this example, the number stored in location 9 is dialed.
Note
DS and DS1 are the same location.
Autodial Number Location — *AUn
The *AUn command selects stored number n (n=1 to 9) to be
autodialed. This is the autodial number, which is used for any autodial
application.
Voice Calls
T o make a voice call, dial the number with the telephone. To use the dial
command for the call, enter the following dialing sequence:
AT D (number);
The ; modifier recalls the command mode and pr events the modem from
training. The remote site must be answered by the telephone for the
voice call to be successful.
5-16V.3600
AT Commands
Switching from Voice to Data
After dialing, place the modems at both ends in data mode by pressing
the TALK/DATA button. The *DA1 command can also be used to
change from talk mode to data mode.
Answering A Call
There are three ways to answer a call for a data connection:
• Manually
•AT Command
• Autoanswer
Manual Answer
When the phone rings, answer by pressing the TALK/DATA button.
AT Command Answer — A
The modem can be made to answer a call by entering ATA when the
phone rings.
Autoanswer — S0
Autoanswer is controlled by register S0. S0 determines which ring the
modem answers on. S0 can be loaded with a value between 1 and 255
for autoanswer. Entering ATS0=0 disables autoanswer. Decide which
ring the modem is to answer on and set S0 to that decimal value.When S0 is one or greater, the modem automatically answers on the selected
ring and connects with the calling modem .
Note
If the modem is set to respond to DTR the DTR signal must
be on for autoanswer to work.
Caller ID — *ID
If the telephone company is providing Caller ID services to the local
phone line, the V.3600 can report Caller ID to the DTE.
V.36005-17

AT Commands
Note
The communications software package may need
reconfiguring to look for the “Caller Number:” message
prefix so that it knows when to look for a phone number.

Terminal Interface Commands
The EIA-232 interface connects the modem and DTE. Terminal
interface commands control the action of the modem and the terminal in
response to the signals being exchanged on the interface pins. Refer to
Table 2-1.
Data Carrier Detect — &C
When using DCD to indicate a valid carrier, use the &C1 command.
Some terminals and other devices require DCD on in order to
communicate with the modem; if so, use the &C command.
CommandOperation
&CDCD always on
&C1DCD on when modem recognizes remote modem
carrier or, if enabled, when protocol negotiation is
complete.
&C2DCD on except for 5 seconds after disconnect
&C3DCD follows RTS on remote modem (simulated
switched carrier V.13).
Note
AT&C3 is used to simulate switched carrier operation.

Note
For simulated switched carrier operation &C3 must be
selected on both modems. Not available in the B103 and V.21
modulation modes.
Data Set Ready — &S
These commands control the DSR signal generated by the modem to
indicate that the modem is ready for operation. DSR must be on for
some terminals and devices to communicate with the modem.
CommandOperation
&SDSR always on
&S1DSR on when off hook in data mode
&S2DSR off for 5 seconds after disconnect then returns
to on
&S3DSR follows off hook (OH) signal
Data Terminal Ready — &D
In data mode DTR may be used for modem control.
CommandOperation
&DThe modem ignores DTR.
&D1The modem goes to command mode from data
mode when DTR goes from on to off.
&D2Disconnects when DTR goes from on to off;
disables autoanswer while DTR is off.
&D3Disconnects, recalls command mode, and resets the
modem to a stored configuration when DTR goes
from on to off.
In dial line mode the modem disconnects; in leased
line, the modem retrains.
Note
If DTR controls dialer is selected, selecting DTR active will
cause an autodial after an off-to-on transition of DTR.
5-20V.3600
AT Commands
Serial Port Ring Indicator (Pin 22) — \R
The \R commands determine how the ring indicate signal operates on
pin 22 of the EIA-232 DTE connector.
CommandOperation
\RCauses ring indicate signal on pin 22 to turn on
(high) during each ring and remain on during the
call
\R1Causes ring indicate signal on pin 22 to turn on
(high) during each ring and turn off (low) when the
call is answered
Request to Send / Clear to Send — &R
When the modem is operating in nonbuffered mode (direct mode) or in
synchronous mode, &R enables the RTS-to-CTS delay determined by
the value in S26. &R1 forces CTS high and the modem ignores RTS
(default). With &R2 selected, CTS goes high when carrier is detected.
&R9 forces CTS to follow the state of RTS without delay.
RTS/CTS delay is not valid in buffered mode or with error
control enabled.
Note
With &R2 selected, XON/XOFF is the only valid method of
flow control and &C and &C1 are the only valid carrier detect
options.
V.36005-21

DTE Controlled Fallback Rate (Pin 23) — *FB
Pin 23 of the EIA-232 DTE connector provides signal input to the
modem for DTE fallback. If the modem is not using DTE fallback, set
this option to ignore pin 23. To cause the modem to act on high/low
levels of pin 23, enable this option. Negative level forces a higher rate
for primary data rate; positive forces a lower rate providing a fallback
rate.
CommandOperation
*FBIgnore pin 2 3
*FB1Transition on pin 23 changes speed
General Commands
This series of commands controls various standard options that in most
cases apply to any mode of operation.
Changing from Data Mode to Command Mode — +++
To exit data mode and go to online command mode, press the escape
character three times (+ is the default). Pause for the length of time set
by register S12 (1 second is the default) before and after the +++ to
ensure the modem recognizes the escape command.
This sequence temporarily suspends data mode transmissions and
allows command mode operations without breaking or otherwise
disturbing the telephone li ne connection. The mo dem responds with OK
when it detects the escape code. Return to data mode by entering the O
command.
Note
The AT command set must be enabled.
Local Character Echo — E

Note
For a 2- or 4-wire leased line connection to succeed, one
modem must be configured as forced answer and the other
modem as normal originate. Both modems should have only
one protocol, MNP or LAPM, enabled and Protocol Fallback
must be disabled. DCE line speed must be the same for both
modems.
4-Wire Operation
In 4-wire operation, the modem is a full-duplex, leased-line modem
requiring a dedicated 4-wire leased line. Only point-to-point dedicated
leased lines are supported. The 4-wire leased line connects to the
TELSET/LEASED LINE jack on the modem rear panel. Dialing is not
necessary. When connected via leased line the modems will train and
begin communicating with each other. The DIAL jack can be used to
connect a 2-wire dial-up line for dial backup.
V.36005-33
AT Commands
Note
The V.3229, V.3227, V.3225, and V.3257 modems use V.33 as
the modulation type. The V.3600 must be set up to V.33 to
connect to these modems.
2-Wire Operation
In 2-wire operation, the modem is a full-duplex modem able to operate
over 2-wire leased or PSTN lines.
2-Wire Leased Line Operation
The 2-wire leased line is connected to the TELSET/LEASED LINE
jack; the DIAL jack connects to a 2-wire dial-up line for dial backup.
The leased line connects the local and remote modems directly and
dialing is not necessary. One of the modems must be configured for
forced answer and the other for normal originate. When connected via
leased line the modems will connect and begin communicating with
each other.
The &L command is used to select private line (leased line) operating
mode. The *OR commands select the origination or answer mode when
operating in the leased line configuration.
Note
DTR must be held high in 2-wire or 4-wire leased line
operation. This is accomplished by DTE control, wiring pin
20 of the digital interface cable high, or by selecting the
option IGNORES DTR. If DTR is terminal controlled, loss of
synchronization can be corrected by cycling DTR. This
makes the modem initiate the 2-wire training sequence. DSR
goes off during the training procedure.
2-Wire Dial-up Operation:
Connection to th e telepho ne network is throug h th e DIAL jack. A
standard telephone can be connected to the TELSET/LEASED
LINE jack for manual dialing.
5-34V.3600
AT Commands
Dial Backup
Dial backup allows the modem to switch to a dial backup mode if the
data connection on the leased line is unacceptable for communications.
This can be accomplished in two ways:
• Automatic - backup due to extended loss of carrier or 4
unsuccessful retrains in 3 minutes
• Manual - user d etermined using front panel contr ols or AT
commands
In leased line op erati on, if both units h ave autodial backup enabled, one
must be configured for forced answer. This prevents both units from
dialing if the leased line fails.
IMPORTANT: Both methods will cause the modem to dial the
prestored autodial number. The originate modem will wait for five
seconds and then initiate the call. The answer modem will wait for a
ring. The modems then train and begin communicating over the dial-up
line. If the dial connection is unsuccessful after three attempts, a retrain
on the leased line will be initiated.
In manual mode, the return to leased line is only done when
commanded. In automatic mode the return to leased line is initiated after
the lookback time in register S28 has elapsed. To prevent unnecessary
termination of the dial line connection, a leased line lookback test is
performed. If the leased line is not acceptable, the dial connection is
resumed with a retrain. If the leased line is acceptable, the dial
connection is dropped and normal leased line mode is resumed.
When the unit attempts to return to leased line, the LCD displays
LEASE LOOKBACK. If the leased line has been restored to service,
data can be passed approximately 10 seconds after LEASE
LOOKBACK was initiated. The LCD will continue to display LEASE
LOOKBACK for slightly more than a minute. During this time the dial
line connection is maintained if a return to dial line operation is
required. When the LCD displays ON LINE again the dial line is
disconnected.
Note
A diagnostic test initiated during dial backup mode
terminates when the modem performs a leased line lookback.
During dial backup operation, *LB makes the modem return to leased
line operation.
During leased line operation with forced answer enabled, *LB makes
the modem wait for a dial backup call.
Manual Dial Backup — *LD
*LD dials the autodial number if the modem is in origin ate mode with
manual dial backup selected. Available in leased line operation only.

Configuration Commands
These commands recall various profiles for insertion into the active
profile, store the active profile and telephone numbers in nonvolatile
memory, and designate the powerup profile. Remote configuration is
discussed on page 5-41.
Configuration Profiles
Modem operations are controlled by option settings selected from
factory defaults stored in ROM, active settings stored in RAM, and
custom settings stored in nonvolatile memory. These three code storage
locations are called profiles.
Active Profile
The active profile holds the current option settings and is used by the
modem for all operations and functions. Any active profile option can
be changed to meet an immediate requirement. The active profile is
maintained in volatile memory referred to as S-registers.
Stored Profile
When an active configuration is established that meets all operating
requirements, it can be transferred to one of the stored profiles. Two
stored profiles are available for greater versatility.
If the active profile has been temporarily changed it can be reset to
either of the stored profiles with the Z command. The &Y command
selects one of the two stored profiles to be the powerup profile.
Factory Profile
The factory configurations are stored in ROM and cannot be changed by
the user; they can be transferred to the active profile and then modified
to fit a specific application if needed. The &F command recalls one of
the nine factory configurations.

This mode of operation allows viewing or modifying th e options of a
remote modem that supports Motorola or Motorola UDS remote
configuration. Remote configuration is performed using the front panel
LCD or, more commonly, AT commands from the local terminal.
Remote configuration is initiated by the local (master) modem through a
proprietary protocol, a security code, and an acknowledgment from the
remote (slave) unit to be modified. The security code is inserted and
provides protection from unauthorized entry. The modems are shipped
from the factory without a security code.
V.36005-41
AT Commands
Note
Remote configuration is supported at all rates except 300 bps.
Remote Configuration Security
The correct security code must be received by the remote modem bef ore
remote configuration can be established. Once established, the local
DTE becomes a virtual terminal and can serve both local and remote
modems. After starting remote configuration, the local DTE serves the
remote modem.
To return DTE service to the local modem while in remote
configuration, issue the +++ escape sequence.
Return DTE service again to the remote modem by issuing the O
command. Switching DTE service between local and remote modems
may be performed as needed.
To exit remote configuration, return DTE service to the local modem.
The &T command will exit remote configuration mode.
Remote configuration may be entered immediately after dialing by
placing the remote configuration command (%T=), without the = sign
and followed by the security code, at the end of the dial string.
Remote Security Code — %P=
A security code prevents unauthorized access to remote configuration
mode. This code is separate from low and high security passwords,
which are discussed in Chapter 8 . The security code is user
programmable and can be set to any value from a single 0 to any
combination up to 99999999 using the %P=(desired code)
command.
Example: If the remote modem security code is 12345, the local
modem must include this code in the initialization string be fore the
remote modem responds.

Entering Remote Configuration — %T=, &T
This mode of operation allows you to view or modify the option set of a
compatible remote modem. Enter the %T=(securitycodeofremote) command to initiate remote configur ation.
The modem is shipped from the factory with security code (blank).
This allows remote configuration by using (blank) as the security
code.
Remote Configuration can also be specified by the dial command by
placing %T (password) after the dial digits (th e equal sign is left
off). For example,
ATD 555-1212%T01234

Protocols
CCITT V.42 bis Error Control Protocol
V.42 bis is an industry standard for error control adopted by the
Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph
(CCITT). The CCITT V.42 bis protocol incorporates two error control
algorithms, LAPM and MNP. LAPM is a CCITT Link Access Protocol
family member related to LAPB and LAPD, currently in use in other
communications applications. MNP is Microcom Networking Protocol,
which has become an industry standard by the large number of its users.
The use of V.42 bis requires both local and remote modems to be V.42 bis
compatible. Error control protocol is transparent to the user and requires
no special hardware or software. Data to be transmitted is put in a buffer
so the modem can retransmit it if an error occur s. The m odem also b uffers
data received from the remote modem in case an error occurs and the data
is retransmitted. To avoid overfilling the buffer, flow control is used to
control data between the modem and the terminal. V.42 bis protocol
options can be set by AT commands.
Note
Error control protoc ols are onl y val id when us ing as ynchron ous
DTE options.
Reliable Mode
When an LAPM or MNP link is established, the modem is in reliable
mode. V.4 2 b is allows negotiation with a remote modem to the highest
level of protocol common to both units. Both LAPM and MNP control
data errors by retransmitting any block of data th at wa s corrupted in
transit. LAPM is assigned highest priority, and, if not supported, then an
MNP connection is attempted.
V.36006-1
Protocols
Auto-Reliable Mode
In auto-reliable mode the modem negotiates to the highest protocol
(LAPM or MNP) common to both modems. However, if a reliable
connection cannot be established, auto-reliable allows the protocol to
fallback to normal mode.
Constant Speed Interface
The modem serial port adapts to the data rate of the DTE and does not
change speed if the DCE-to-DCE data link connects at another speed.
Therefore, the DTE-to-DCE interface speed is constant.
Data Compression
Using MNP Class 5 data compression, the modem can achieve data
throughput approaching 33600 bps. With LAPM data compression, the
modem can achieve data throughput approaching 115200 bps. This
increase in speed is achieved by automatically analyzing the data stream
and reducing the number of bits required to represent the characters.
100% error-free transmission is assured by the application of the MNP
or LAPM error control protocol on the compressed data.
Compression takes place only if the modem detects that the remote
modem supports compression. If not, a reliable connection is made
without compression.
Although data compression is compatible with any type of data, it is
most efficient for ASCII text files. For maximum throughput when
using data compression, the terminal should be set to a higher speed
than the connect speed with the constant speed interface on and flow
control enabled. When transmitting or receiving data files in one
direction, the throughput can be increased for V.42 bis by having extra
buffer and more processor time with the %C2 and %C3 data compression
commands.
Normal Mode
No error control, with or without constant speed DTE interface. Data is
buffered.
