Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-
Registers and Result Codes
Introduction
The AT commands are used to control the operation of your modem. They are called AT commands
because the characters AT must precede each command to get the ATtention of the modem.
AT commands can be issued only when the modem is in command mode oronline command mode. The
modem is in command mode whenever it is not connected to another modem. The modem is indata mode whenever it is connected to another modem and ready to exchange data. Online com mand mode is
a temporary state in which you can issue commands to the modem while connected to another modem.
To put the modem into online command mode from data mode, you must issue an escape sequence
(+++) followed immediately by the AT characters and the command, e.g., +++ to hang up the modem. To
return to data mode from online command mode, you must issue the command ATO.
To send AT commands to the modem, you must use a communications program, such as the
HyperTerminal applet in Windows 98 and NT 4.0, or some other available terminal program. You can
issue commands to the modem either directly, by typing them in the terminal window of the
communications program, or indirectly, by configuring the operating system or communications program
to send the commands automatically. Fortunately, communications programs make daily operation of
modems effortless by hiding the commands from the user. Most users, therefore, need to use AT
commands only when reconfiguring the modem, e.g., to turn autoanswer on or off.
The format for entering anAT command is ATXn, where X is the command, and n is the specific value for
the command, sometimes called the command parameter. The value is always a number. If the value is
zero, you can omit it from the command; thus, AT&W is equivalent to AT&W0. Most commands have a
default value, which is the value that is set at the factory. The default values are shown in the “AT
Command Summary” (See below).
You must press ENTER (depending on the terminal program it could be some other key) to send the
command to the modem. Any time the modem receives a command, it sends a response known as a
result code. The most common result codes are OK, ERROR, and the CONNECT messages that the
modem sends to the computer when it is connecting to another modem. See “Result Codes” at the end of
this chapter for a table of valid result codes.
You can issue several commands in one line, in what is called a command string. The command string
begins with AT and ends when you press ENTER. Spaces to separate the commands are optional; the
command interpreter ignores them. The most familiar command string is the initialization string, which is
used to configure the modem when it is turned on or reset, or when your communications software calls
another modem.
Escape Code Sequence – +++
When the modem has established a connection and has entered online data mode, it is possible to break
into the data transmission in order to issue further commands to the modem in an online command mode.
This is achieved by the DTE sending to the modem a sequence of three ASCII characters specified by SRegister 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.

Command ** Load Flash Memory
Description: The linear flash memory uploader allows flash memory connected to the
modem external memory bus to be upgraded with revised modem
firmware. This process transfers (uploads) the upgraded modem firmware
(data) from the host computer to the modem which transfers the data to the
flash memory device. The linear flash memory downloader allows the flash
memory connected to the modem external memory bus to read and saved.
This process transfers (downloads) the current modem firmware (data) to
the host computer. Uploading new firmware to the flash memory or
downloading existing firmware from the flash memory device is a two-step
process.
1. When the AT** command is issued, the modem firmware boot loader is
invoked and the user will first load a flash load module (FLM) into the
modem's RAM. If the user wishes to upload new firmware to the
modem, he should load the uploader FLM. If the user wishes to
download existing firmware from the modem, he should load the
downloader FLM. In either case, the data transfer is done via an ASCII
transfer. The FLM contains the programming algorithm for the flash
memory device being programmed and any messages that may be sent
during the load process.
2. If the user wishes to upload new firmware to the modem, then he will
then load the new modem firmware, which the uploader FLM will then
program into the flash memory device. This transfer is done via
XMODEM transfer. If the user wishes to download existing firmware
from the modem, then he will set up the host PC for XMODEM receive
and the downloader FLM will begin to send the existing firmware from
the flash memory to the host PC.
Procedure
1. Install in the modem a flash memory programmed with the modem
firmware or a blank flash memory.
2. Put the uploader FLM and downloader FLM files and the new modem
firmware file (e.g., XmUL003.s37, XmDL003.s37, and 206s4712.S37)
in an appropriate directory on the computer's hard disk.
3. Configure the communications application program for a DTE rate of
between 9600 bps and 115200 bps and RTS/CTS flow control.
4. Check the modem for response by typing AT.
5. Initiate the download process using the AT** command. The
"Download flash code…" message appears upon issuing the AT**
command.
6. Perform an ASCII transfer of the FLM file (e.g., XmUL003.s37 for
uploading new firmware to the modem or XmDL003.s37 for
downloading existing firmware from the modem) from the host
computer to the modem RAM using an industry standard
communications software or an equivalent process (ensure that all
ASCII translation or pacing is turned off).

Page 10
Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
7. After the FLM has been loaded, if uploading new firmware to the
modem, perform an XMODEM upload of the new modem firmware hex
file (e.g., 206s4712.S37) from the host computer to the modem RAM
using industry standard communications software or an equivalent
process. If downloading existing firmware from the modem, using an
industry standard communications software or equivalent, put the host
PC in XMODEM receive mode.
8. The messages described in Table 1-1 may occur during the uploading
process:
Table 1-1. Upload Messages
Message Description
Device not supported Displayed if the FLM used does not support the flash
memory that is installed on the board.
Wrong S37 format Displayed if the modem firmware being uploaded is not in
Motorola S3 format.
Record error Displayed if there is an error while either uploading or
downloading. If this occurs, the transfer should be aborted,
and the user should restart at step .5
Download abort Displayed if the transfer is aborted before it is finished. If this
occurs, the user should restart at step 5.
Erase fail Displayed if the FLM is unable to erase the flash memory. If
this occurs, the user should restart at step 5.
Download error, ReLoad
Displayed if there was an error when uploading or
downloading. If this occurs, the user should restart at step 5.
Error, No H/W flow ctl Displayed if RTS-CTS flow control is not set. If this occurs,
the user should restart at step 3.
DTE timeout Displayed if the DTE has stopped the XMODEM transfer
process before it is finished. If this occurs, the user should
restart at step 5.
Code doesn’t match
Hardware
Displayed if the user is attempting to upload a firmware that
either not the same model (parallel, serial, etc.), crystal
frequency, or size (1Mbit, 2Mbit, etc.) as the firmware that is
currently on the board. If this occurs, the FLM will abort and
not allow the user to continue.
Device successfully
Programmed
Displayed by the FLM at the completion of a successful
upload or download then the modem will do a cold start.
The uploader and downloader flash load modules (FLM) have several built in safety
mechanisms to reduce the risk of a failed flash upload/download. The FLM will not allow
a user to upload a firmware of different model (serial, parallel, etc.) or crystal speed than
what is currently in the flash memory. Also, it will not allow the user to upload a firmware
that is larger in size than the flash memory itself (e.g., a 2Mbit firmware onto a 1Mbit flash
memory). It will, however, allow the user to upload a firmware that is smaller in size than
the flash memory, and it will program the firmware with the appropriate offset in order for
the firmware to function properly. In the instance that there is a failure during the
download or upload process, the modem will be in a “flash rescue mode”. In this mode,
the modem will respond “OK” to all AT commands, but will only take action on the AT**
command, so a new attempt to upload or download can be initiated. When the modem is
in the “flash rescue mode” it will only be able to respond to AT commands if the DTE rate
has not been changed since the last AT** command was successfully issued, even if the
modem is powered off and on.

Description: 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.
Default: None

Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
Call Control Commands
Command: D Dial
Description: Directs the modem to go on-line, dial according to the string entered and
attempt to establish a connection. If no dial string is supplied, the modem
will go on-line and attempt the handshake in originate mode.
Note: If the ATD command is issued before the S1 register has cleared,
the modem will respond with the NO CARRIER result code.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will behave as a data modem and
will attempt to connect to another data modem. The modem will have up to
the period of time specified by register S6 or S7 to wait for carrier and
complete the handshake. If this time expires before the modem can
complete the handshake, the modem will go on-hook with the NO
CARRIER response. This command will be aborted in progress upon
receipt of any DTE character before completion of the handshake.
If +FCLASS=1, 1.0, or 2 is selected, the modem will behave as a facsimile
modem and attempt to connect to a facsimile machine (or modem) by
entering the HDLC V.21 channel 2 receive state (as if +FRH=3 had been
issued). This command will be aborted upon receipt of any DTE character
if the modem has not finished dialing. In this case, the modem will go on-
hook and return to command mode after displaying the NO CARRIER
message. If the modem has finished dialing, it proceeds as if the +FRH=3
command has been issued. (Refer to the +FRH command to determine
how the modem behaves following this stage.)
Dial Modifiers
The valid dial string parameters are described below. Punctuation
characters may be used for clarity, with parentheses, hyphen, and spaces
being ignored.
Defined Values: Character string <string> corresponding to the selected option(s).
0-9 DTMF digits 0 to 9.
* The 'star' digit (tone dialing only).
# The 'gate' digit (tone dialing only).
A-D DTMF digits A, B, C, and D. Some countries may prohibit sending of
these digits during dialing.
L Re-dial last number: the modem will re-dial the last valid telephone
number. The L must be immediately after the D with all the following
characters ignored).
P Select pulse dialing: Pulse Dialing is used in the dialed numbers that
follow until a T command is encountered. Affects current and
subsequent dialing. Some countries prevent changing dialing modes
after the first digit is dialed.
T Select tone dialing: Tone Dialing is used in the dialed 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.
R This command will be accepted, but not acted on.
S=n Dial the number stored in the directory (n = 0 to 3). (See &Z.)
! Flash: the modem will go on-hook for a time defined by the value of
S29. Country requirements may limit the time imposed.
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 (US) or S6 (W-class), the modem will abort the rest
of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
@ 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
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. SocketModem MT5600SMI/MT5656SMI Reference Guide (S000306C) 16
Page 17
Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
of silence before the expiration of the call abort timer (S7), the
modem will terminate the call attempt with a NO ANSWER message.
If busy detection is enabled, the modem may terminate the call with
the BUSY result code. If answer tone arrives during execution of this
parameter, the modem handshakes.
& Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial string.
If the tone is not detected within the time specified by S7 (US
models) or S6 (W-class models), the modem will abort the rest of the
sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
, Dial pause: the modem will pause for a time specified by S8 before
dialing the digits following ",".
; Return to command state. Added to the end of a dial string, this
causes the modem to return to the command state after it processes
the portion of the dial string preceding the ";". This allows the user to
issue additional AT commands while remaining off-hook. The
additional AT commands may be placed in the original command line
following the ";" and/or may be entered on subsequent command
lines. The modem will enter call progress only after an additional dial
command is issued without the ";" terminator. Use "H" to abort the
dial in progress, and go back on-hook.
^ Toggles calling tone enable/disable: applicable to current dial
attempt only.
( ) Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
- Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
<space> Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
<i> Invalid character: will be ignored.
> If enabled by country specific parameter, the modem will generate a
grounding pulse on the EARTH relay output.
Command: T Set Tone Dial Default
Description: 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. The DP command
will override this command. Clears S14 bit 5.
This command may not be permitted in some countries. (See P.)
Result Code: OK
Command: P Set Pulse Dial Default
Description: 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.

Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
Command: A Answer
Description: The modem will go off-hook and attempt to answer an incoming call if
correct conditions are met. Upon successful completion of answer
handshake, the modem will go on-line in answer mode. This command
may be affected by the state of Line Current Sense, if enabled. (Most
countries do not require Line Current Sense.) Operation is also dependent
upon +FCLASS command and country-specific requirements.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will enter the Connect state after
exchanging carrier with the remote modem. If no carrier is detected within
a period specified in register S7, the modem hangs up. Any character
entered during the connect sequence will abort the connection attempt.
If +FCLASS=1, 1.0, or 2 is selected, the modem will go off-hook in V.21
answer mode. It will generate the V.21 2100 Hz answer tone for 3 ± 0.5
seconds and, following a delay of 70 ms, will proceed as if the +FTH=3
command were issued. At any stage up to (but excluding) the +FTH=3
command state, any character will abort the communication. (See the
description of the +FTH command for details.)
Command: H Disconnect (Hang-Up)
Description: Initiates a hang up sequence. This command may not be available for
some countries due to PTT restrictions.
Default: None
Defined Values: H0 The modem will release the line if the modem is currently on-line,
and will terminate any test (AT&T) that is in progress. Country
specific, modulation specific, and error correction protocol specific
(S38) processing is handled outside of the H0 command.
H1 If on-hook, the modem will go off-hook and enter command mode.
For US models, the modem will remain off-hook. For global models,
the modem will return on-hook after a period of time determined by
S7.
Result Codes: OK
Otherwise ERROR
Command: O Return to Online Data Mode
Description: Determines how the modem will enter the online data mode. If in the online
command mode, the modem enters the online data mode with or without a
retrain. If in the off-line command mode (no connection), the modem
reports ERROR.
Default: None
Defined Values: O0 Enters on-line data mode without a retrain.
Handling is determined by the Call Establishment task. Generally, if
a connection exists, this command connects the DTE back to the
remote modem after an escape (+++).
O1 Enters on-line data mode with a retrain before returning to on-line
data mode.
O2 Fast retrain without speed change (used for diagnostic purpose
only).
O3 Renegotiate rate without speed change (used for diagnostic purpose

Case 2: Telephone Line is in Use but Disconnected
If an ATDT, ATDP or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is
enabled and the telephone line is NOT in use, the modem will go offhook after a short pause, then respond with CONNECT or NO CARRIER
message.
Case 3: Telephone Line is not Connected to Modem
If an ATDT, ATDP, or ATDL is issued while Line-In-Use detection is
enabled and the telephone line is not connected, the modem will go offhook momentarily, go back on-hook, and then respond with NO DIAL
TONE message.
Extension Pick-up
(Enabled by AT-STE=2, AT-STE=3, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7):
Case 1: Modem off-hook, Local Handset Goes Off-Hook
If the local handset goes off-hook while the modem is in a data
connection, the local handset will be muted. The modem will then send a
GSTN Cleardown to the remote modem and then go on-hook. The
modem will then send a NO CARRIER message to the DTE. A result
code of 25 will be left in S86 register. After 2 seconds, the local handset
will be connected to the telephone line so the user hears the dial tone.
Remote Hang-up
(Enabled by AT-STE=4, AT-STE=5, AT-STE=6, or AT-STE=7):
Case 1: Modem off-hook, Remote Hang-up
If the modem is connected (off-hook) and the remote modem/server
goes hangs up, the central office may issue a line polarity reversal. If a
line polarity reversal is detected, the modem will drop the call and
respond with NO CARRIER. The reason for hang-up can be determined
by #UD or by S86=25. A line reversal can also be simulated by simply
pulling out the telephone line during a connection.

Automated system that needs to periodically use the line while giving the
voice user the highest priority
A common use for these features would be an automated system that
needs to periodically use the line while giving the voice user the highest
priority. The automated system would make a connection when the line is
free. It would do this without disturbing the line if the line is in use. The
automated system would periodically retry the connection until the line is
free. Once the line is free it would dial and make its connection. If a voice
user wishes to use the line while the modem is connected. The modem will
drop the line and give the line to the user. The modem will then try to
regain control of the line by once again periodically retrying to establish a
connection.

Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
Command: %E Enable/Disable Line Quality Monitor and Auto-Retrain or
Fallback/Fall Forward
Description: Controls whether or not the modem will automatically monitor the line
quality and request a retrain (%E1) or fall back when line quality is
insufficient or fall forward when line quality is sufficient (%E2). The
parameter value, if valid, is written to S41 bits 2 and 6.
If enabled, the modem attempts to retrain for a maximum of 30 seconds.
Fallback/Fall Forward. When %E2 is active, the modem monitors the line
quality (EQM). When line quality is insufficient, the modem will initiate a
rate renegotiation to a lower speed within the V.34/V.32 bis/V.32 (RC336)
modulation speeds. The modem will keep falling back within the current
modulation if necessary until the speed reaches 2400 bps (V.34) or 4800
bps (V.32). Below this rate, the modem will only do retrains if EQM
thresholds are exceeded. If the EQM is sufficient for at least one minute,
the modem will initiate a rate renegotiation to a higher speed within the
current modulation speeds. The rate renegotiations will be done without a
retrain if a V.32bis connection is established.
Speeds attempted during fallback/fall forward are those shown to be
available in the rate sequences exchanged during the initial connection.
Fallback/fall forward is available in error correction and normal modes, but
not in direct mode or synchronous mode with external clocks.
Default: 2
Defined Values: %E0 Disable line quality monitor and auto-retrain.
%E1 Enable line quality monitor and auto-retrain.
%E2 Enable line quality monitor and fallback/fall forward. (Default.)

Default: Default value is country specific
Defined Values: 0 Selects µ-Law.
1 Selects A-Law.
Result Codes: OK
Otherwise ERROR
Command: B Communication Standard Setting – CCITT or Bell
Description: When the modem is configured to allow either option, the modem will
select Bell or CCITT modulation for a line speed connection of 300 or 1200
bps. Any other line speed will use a CCITT modulation standard. The
parameter value, if valid, is written to S27 bit 6.
Default: B0 (default for MT5600SMI)
B1 (default for MT5656SMI)
Defined Values: B0 Selects CCITT operation at 300 or 1200 bps during Call
Establishment and a subsequent connection. (Default.)

V.8/V.8bis Commands
Command: +A8E V.8 and V.8bis Operation Controls
Description: 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 offhook. 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.
Defined Values: <v8o> Decimal number which enables/disables issuance of +A8x
indications during modem-controlled V.8 origination negotiation.
1 Enable DCE-controlled V.8 origination negotiation without
+A8x indications. (Default.)
6 Enable DCE-controlled V.8 origination negotiation with +A8x
indications.
<v8a>= Decimal number which enables/disables issuance of +A8x
indications during modem-controlled V.8 answer negotiation.
1 Enable DCE-controlled V.8 answer negotiation without +A8x
indications. (Default.)
5 Enable DCE-controlled V.8 answer negotiation with +A8x
indications.
<v8cf>= Set the V.8 CI signal call function to the hexadecimal octet XY.
00 (Default.)
21
C1
<v8b>= Decimal number which enables/disables V.8bis negotiation.
0 Disable V.8bis negotiation.
1 Enable V.8bis negotiation. (Default.)
Default values: 1,1,00,1,0,0
The ATD and ATA commands behave as specified in V.250, and +A8n
indications are not generated by the modem.
For subparameter values <v8o>=6 and <v8a>=5, the +A8I indications are
issued during the course of the V.8 session to notify the DTE when the
relevant V.8 signals are received.

Diagnostic Commands
Command: #UD Last Call Status Report
Description: #UD is an action command requesting logged operation events reporting. 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:
Power off.
Hard reset (e.g., negate DTR with &D3 set; reset button).
Soft reset = ATZ or AT&F.
ATD command issued.
ATA command issued.
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:
1. Call Setup
-Calling DCE: get dial tone, generate dial digits, and detect call
progress signals.
-Answering DCE: detect ringing, detect Caller ID, etc.
2. 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).
3. Data Transfer
-Bit-error rates, for each direction
-Rate renegotiation
-Retraining
4. Call Termination
-protocol disconnect signals
-carrier disconnect signals
-loss of carrier
-excessive error rates
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 OK
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:
33h)
space space character (20h)
Key One- or two-digit hexadecimal number (see Key in Table 1-4)
= Equal sign (3Dh)
Value Any string as defined below (Table 1-4 - Table 1-9 as appropriate)
> Right angle bracket (greater than sign) (3Eh)

Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
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 1-13.
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
Online command state, issue the command, capture the responses and then
issue an ATO command. For smoother online 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).
callCleared codes from 3.6.4/V.58-1994
callCleared: indicates that the DCE has gone on-hook and that the previously
existing network connection has been cleared. These values are hex values,
converted from decimal in V.58. callCleared codes are described in Table 5-12.

Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
S-Registers
Certain modem values, or parameters, are stored in memory locations called S-registers. Use the S command to
read or to alter the contents of S-registers (see previous section). * Register value may be stored on one of two user
profiles with the command &W.
Register Unit Range Default Description
S0 1 ring 0–255 0 Number of Rings to Auto-Answer: Sets the number ofrings until
the modem answers. ATS0=0 disables autoanswer completely. *
S1 1 ring 0–255 0 Ring Counter: Counts the rings that have occurred. S1 is cleared if
no rings occur over eight-second intervals.
S2 decimal 0–255 43 (+) Escape Character: 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; e.g., no
escape character will be recognized.*
S3 decimal 0–127 13 (^M) Carriage Return Character: Sets the command line and result code
terminator character. Pertains to asynchronous operation only.
S4 decimal 0–127 10 (^J) Line Feed Character: Sets the character recognized as a line feed.
Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The Line Feed control
character is output after the Carriage Return Control character if
verbose result codes are used.
S5 decimal 0–255 8 (^H) Backspace Character : Sets the character recognized as a
backspace. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The modem will
not recognize the Backspace character if it is set to a value that is
greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command
line. When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to
the local DTE the Backspace character, an ASCII space character
and a second Backspace character; this means a total of three
characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the
Backspace character.
S6 seconds 2–255 2 Wait Time Before Blind Dialing or for Dial Tone: 1. Sets the length
of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait before starting to dial
after going off-hook when blind dialing. This operation, however, may
be affected by some ATX options according to country restrictions.
The “Wait for Dial Tone” call progress feature (W dial modifier in the
dial string) will override the value in register S6. (When configured for
US).
2. 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. (W class). Default is country-dependent. The
modem always pauses for a minimum of 2 seconds, even if the value
of S6 is less than 2 seconds. *
S7 seconds 1–255* 50 Wait Time for Carrier, Silence, or Dial Tone:
1. Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for
carrier before hanging up. The timer is started when the modem
finishes dialing (originate), or 2 seconds after going off-hook (answer).
In originate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of answer tone if
allowed by country restrictions.
2. Sets the length of time, in seconds, that modem will wait for silence
when encountering the @ dial modifier before continuing with the next
dial string parameter.
3. 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. (US model.)
The default is country dependent. *
S8 seconds 2–255 2 Pause Time for Dial Delay: Sets the time, in seconds, that the
modem must pause when the “,” dial modifier is encountered in the
dial string. *

Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers and Result Codes
Register Unit Range Default Description
S9 0.1 s 1–255 6 Carrier Detect Response Time: Supported for backward
compatibility only. No value can be written. Responds with default
value. *
S10 0.1 s 1–255 14 Lost Carrier to Hang Up Delay: Sets the length of time, in tenths of
a second that the modem waits before hanging up after a loss of
carrier. This allows for a temporary carrier loss without causing the
local modem to disconnect. When register S10 is set to 255, the
modem functions as if a carrier is always present. *
The actual interval the modem waits before disconnecting is the value
in register S10 minus the value in register S9. Therefore, the S10
value must be greater than the S9 value or else the modem
disconnects before it recognizes the carrier.
Note:For Call Waiting detection, if the modem is set to US country
code and S10 >=16, then the modem will detect the Call Waiting tone
and hang-up the line. If S10 <16, the modem will not detect Call
Waiting tone.
S11 0.001 s 50–255 95 DTMF Tone Duration: 1. For US models, S11 sets the duration of
tones in DTMF dialing (has no effect on pulse dialing).
2. For W-class models, S11 is a country parameter. The default is
country dependent. *
S12 0.02 s 0–255 50 Escape Prompt Delay (EPD): 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. Sending of the OK result code does
not affect entry into command mode. (See 3.1.3). *

command options.
Bit 0 This bit is ignored.

Fax I/O Processing
The fax I/O interface supports asynchronous serial and parallel interfaces. The character format is 8 bit
data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Start and stop elements are removed from the transmit data and added to
the receive data. Both transmit and receive data are buffered. Flow control using XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS
is provided.
Unique control character strings are identified, filtered, or reinserted into the I/O data stream. These
control characters and their resultant action are described below.

Fax Origination
Origination of fax calls is made using the ATD command. Upon completion of the dial function, a calling
tone at 1100 Hz is transmitted, with a cadence of 0.5 seconds on and 3 seconds off. The modem
automatically enters mode +FRH=3 and sends the CONNECT message to the DTE when FSK flags are
detected from the remote.
Fax Answering
Answering of fax calls is identical to answering of data calls with the exception that the modem enters the
fax handshaking mode instead of the data handshaking mode after going off-hook. If +FAE=0, the
modem, after sending answer tone, automatically enters fax mode (+FTH=3), sends the CONNECT
message to the DTE, and starts sending FSK flags. If +FAE=1, the modem determines whether the caller
is a data modem or fax modem and sends the DATA or FAX result code, respectively, to the DTE.
Fax Control Transmission
Fax control transmission is initiated by the +FTH=<mod> command. After this command is issued, the
modem generates the CONNECT message and transmits carrier in the modulation scheme specified by
the parameter n. The modem then transmits HDLC flags for a minimum of 1 second. The modem
continues to transmit the HDLC flags until it receives a character from the DTE.
When characters are received from the DTE, the modem adds start and end flags, performs zero-bit
insertion, generates FCS, and deletes <DLE><chr> character pairs before transmitting the characters to
the remote fax machine. Each <DLE><DLE> sequence is transmitted as a single <DLE>. <DLE><ETX>
is considered as the end of frame marker and is not transmitted. All data received from the DTE after
<DLE><ETX> is ignored by the modem until the modem generates either the CONNECT, OK, or ERROR
result code.
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. SocketModem MT5600SMI/MT5656SMI Reference Guide (S000306C) 63
Page 64
Chapter 2 – Fax Class1 Commands
If no more data is in the transmit buffer and the final bit was a 1 (bit 4 of the second byte received from
the DTE), the modem generates the OK result code and returns to the command mode. If the final bit was
a 0, the modem generates the CONNECT message and waits for further data from the DTE while
transmitting HDLC flags. If no more data is received before 5 seconds elapse, the modem drops carrier,
goes on-hook, and generates the ERROR result code.
Fax Control Reception
Fax control reception is initiated using the AT+FRH=<mod> command. After this command is issued, the
modem looks for carrier in the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. If no carrier is detected
before the period of time specified by register S7 expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER
message and returns to command mode.
If a carrier is detected that is not the one specified by the parameter n, the modem generates the
+FCERROR message and returns to the command mode. If the specified carrier is detected, the modem
generates the CONNECT message and enters the HDLC receive mode.
In HDLC receive mode, the modem receives HDLC frames from the remote fax machine, strips the flags,
performs zero-bit deletion, performs error checking, and handles <DLE><chr> character pairs before
passing the data to the DTE. The modem prefixes each <DLE> character with another <DLE> character
before sending it to the DTE. After the last byte in the frame, the modem sends <DLE><ETX> to the DTE
marking the end of the frame. The modem then generates the OK message if no errors were detected or
the ERROR message if errors were detected (FCS is incorrect) and returns to command mode.
While in command mode, the modem continues to receive data in the selected modulation scheme, and
sends the data after sending the CONNECT message to the DTE when the DTE reissues the +FRH
command with the same parameter. If the DTE issues the +FRH command with a different parameter, the
modem clears all buffers and proceeds as described previously.
If carrier is lost while in command mode and the DTE reissues the +FRH command with the same
parameter, and there is no data in the buffer, the modem sends the ERROR result code to the DTE and
returns to the command mode. If there is data in the buffer, the modem sends the next frame of buffered
data to the DTE, followed by <DLE><ETX>, and either the ERROR result code if errors were detected or
the OK result code if no errors were detected. The modem then returns to command mode.
The modem concludes an error is detected if carrier is lost for any period of time during or before the
reception of a frame. If carrier is lost for a time period longer than the time specified by the register S10,
the modem finishes delivering the data in the receive buffer (if any) to the DTE, sends <DLE><ETX>,
generates the ERROR message, and returns to command mode. All subsequent data received from the
remote is discarded.
If the modem detects a frame abort sequence (seven consecutive ones with no zero insertion) while it is
waiting for a frame beginning flag (it was receiving HDLC flags), it will wait for the HDLC flags again until
either carrier is lost or the DTE aborts the process by sending an abort character or by dropping DTR with
&D2 in effect. If the frame abort sequence is detected while the modem is receiving a frame it finishes
delivering the data in the receive buffer (if any) to the DTE, sends <DLE><ETX>, generates the ERROR
message, and returns to command mode. The modem keeps looking for HDLC flags followed by more
data from the remote, with the selected modulation scheme.
If the modem detects a receive buffer overflow condition, it concludes that there was an FCS error in that
frame. The modem will receive more frames only if a starting flag is detected and there is room in the
receive buffer. If a starting flag is detected and there is no room in the buffer, the modem discards all data
in that frame.
If the modem receives any character from the DTE after the +FRH command (except flow control
characters if software flow control is in effect), or if the modem detects a high-to-low transition of the DTR
signal while &D1 is in effect, it sends <DLE><ETX> to the DTE, generates OK result code, and returns to
command mode. The receive buffer is cleared and all data received from the remote is discarded. If the
modem detects a DTR drop while &D2 is in effect, it goes on-hook, sends <DLE><ETX> to the DTE,
generates OK result code, and returns to command mode. If the modem detects a DTR drop while &D3 is
in effect, the modem performs a warm reset.

Chapter 2 – Fax Class1 Commands
Fax Data Transmission
Fax data transmission is initiated by the AT+FTM=<mod> command. After this command is issued, the
modem generates the CONNECT message and transmits carrier in the modulation scheme specified by
the parameter n. The modem then transmits constant 1 bits for a minimum of one second and continues
to transmit constant 1 bits until it receives a character from the DTE.
When data is received from the DTE, the modem deletes start and stop bits and deletes all <DLE><chr>
character pairs before transmitting the data to the remote. Each <DLE><DLE> sequence is transmitted as
a single <DLE>. <DLE><ETX> is considered as the end of stream marker, and is not transmitted. All data
received from the DTE after the <DLE><ETX> is ignored by the modem until the modem generates either
the CONNECT, OK, or ERROR result code.
If no more data is in the transmit buffer, and the last transmitted character was not an ASCII NULL, the
modem generates the OK result code and returns to the command mode. If the last character transmitted
was an ASCII NULL, the modem generates the CONNECT message to the DTE and waits for further data
from the DTE while transmitting NULLs to the remote. If more data is received before five seconds
elapse, the modem continues to transmit the data as described in the previous paragraph. If five seconds
elapse and no data is received from the DTE, the modem drops carrier, goes on-hook, and generates the
ERROR result code.
Fax Data Reception
Fax data reception is initiated using the AT+FRM=<mod> command. After this command is issued, the
modem looks for carrier in the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. If no carrier is detected
before the period of time specified by register S7 expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER
message and returns to command mode. If a V.21 carrier is detected when a high-speed carrier is
expected, the modem generates the +FCERROR message and returns to the command mode. If the
specified carrier is detected, the modem generates the CONNECT message and enters the data receive
mode.
While in data receive mode, the modem receives data from the remote, adds start and stop bits, and
handles <DLE><chr> character pairs before passing the data to the DTE. The modem prefixes each
<DLE> character with another <DLE> character before sending it to the DTE.
If the modem detects a receive buffer overflow condition, it stops receiving from the remote until there is
room in the receive buffer. The modem informs the DTE of the buffer overflow after it sends to the DTE
the last character that was stored in the buffer before the overflow occurred.
If the modem receives any character from the DTE after the +FRM command (except flow control
characters if software flow control is in effect), or if the modem detects a high-to-low transition of the DTR
signal while &D1 is in effect, it sends <DLE><ETX> to the DTE, generates the OK result code, and
returns to command mode. The receive buffer is cleared and all data received from the remote is
discarded. If loss of DTR is detected while &D2 is in effect, the modem goes on-hook, sends
<DLE><ETX> followed by OK result code to the DTE, and returns to command mode. If the modem
detects a DTR drop while &D3 is in effect, the modem performs a warm reset.

Command: +FCL Carrier Loss Timeout
Description: This parameter allows the DTE to select the modem’s loss-of-carrier delay
between initial loss-of-carrier and qualified loss-of-carrier, when the modem
will give up and exit a receive mode. Intermediate (less than FCL timeout)
loss-of-carrier should be indicated by insertion of the SQ-BAD signal quality
indicator in the received data stream.
In unframed receive modes, if the modem detects RTC as described in
Recommendation T.30 prior to initial loss of the high speed carrier, or if the
modem detects V.21 carrier after initial loss of high speed carrier, then the
modem immediately accepts the loss-of-carrier as qualified, without waiting for
the FCL timer to expire.
In HDLC receive modes, if the modem detects HDLC abort prior to initial loss
of the high speed carrier, or if the modem detects V.21 carrier after initial loss
of high speed carrier, then the modem l immediately accepts the loss-of-
carrier as qualified, without waiting for the FCL timer to expire.
Defined Values: <value> Decimal number representing the loss-of-carrier delay time in units of
100 ms. The range is 0 - 255.
Reporting Current or Selected Values:

Command: +FIT DTE Inactivity Timeout
Description: This command specifies a DTE inactivity timeout value that allows the modem
to break away from an unsuccessful connection attempt at any stage of a
facsimile transfer. The DTE inactivity timer operates only while the modem is
off-hook.
Defined Values: <time The <time parameter indicates the DTE inactivity timeout in seconds.
The value of 0 indicates that timeout is disabled (default). The required
timeout range is 1 to 255 seconds. The inactivity timer starts when the modem
has taken some action that requires DTE response. If the DTE does respond,
the modem resets the inactivity timer. Inactivity timer related events are listed
in Table 2-3.
<action The <action parameter has two meanings.
0 Upon timeout, the modem will go on-hook, executing an implied ATH
command; then reset to +FCLASS 0.
1 Upon timeout, the DCE will only go on-hook.

Command: +FPR Fixed DTE Rate
Description: This numeric extended-format parameter specifies the data rate at which the
modem will accept commands during on-line 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: +FPR=<rate code>
Defined Values: <rate code> Specifies the DTE-modem interface operation rate in bits/s with a
rate code. The available rate codes are:
0 Automatic detection (default)

Command and Syntax Guidelines
Mode Entry Commands
+FCLASS=2 - Select Facsimile Class 2 Mode
+FCLASS=2 selects the Fax Class 2 Mode (see Generic Modem Control).
DTE Commands
The ISO 646 character set (CCITT T.50 International Alphabet 5, American Standard Code for
Information Interchange) is used for the issuance of commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits
of each character are used for commands or parameters; the high order bit is ignored. Upper case
characters are equivalent to lower case characters. For Phase C data transmission or reception, all 8 bits
are needed.
DTE Command Lines
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the modem (DCE) while the modem is in
a command state. A command line has a prefix, a body, and a terminator. Each command line (with
the exception of the A/ command) must begin with the character sequence AT and must be
terminated by a carriage return. Commands entered in upper case or lower case are accepted, but
both the A and T must be of the same case, i.e., "AT" = ASCII 065, 084 or “at” = ASCII 097, 116. The
body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters (032 - 126). Space characters
(ASCII 032) and control characters other than CR (ASCII 013) and BS (ASCII 010) in the command
string are ignored. The default terminator is the ASCII <CR> character. Characters that precede the
AT prefix are ignored. The command line interpretation begins upon receipt of the carriage return
character.
Facsimile Command Syntax
After the "AT" or "at" prefix, facsimile commands use extended syntax. Each command is preceded
by the “+F” character and consists of single characters and a decimal parameter (if applicable)
terminated by the semicolon “:” character (ASCII 059) or by the <CR> that terminated the command
line. A missing decimal parameter is evaluated as 0.
For example, the command to instruct the modem to automatically answer a data or fax call and also
enable reception is:
AT+FAE=0; +FCR 1 <CR>
Basic data mode and fax service class mode select commands are:
AT+FCLASS=0 <CR> for Data Mode
AT+FCLASS=1 <CR> for Service Class 1 Fax
AT+FCLASS=1.0 <CR> for Service Class 1.0 Fax
AT+FCLASS=2 <CR> for Service Class 2 Fax
In Class 2, the DCE makes and terminates calls, manages the communication session and
negotiates (T.30 protocol) and transports the image date to DTE. The T.4 protocol management of
image data, etc., is done by DTE.
The response to
AT+FCLASS= 0<CR> in Data Mode
or
AT+FCLASS=2<CR> in Service Class 2 Fax
is
OK
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. SocketModem MT5600SMI/MT5656SMI Reference Guide (S000306C) 77
Page 78
Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
The service class may be set by the DTE from the choices available using the “+FCLASS=<VALUE>”
command.
General Rules
1. +Fnnn commands must be entered completely, otherwise an ERROR response is sent.
2. All response messages are preceded and followed by <CR><LF>. Multiple response commands
(e.g., +FDIS: +FCSI: and +FDCS:) will, therefore, appear to a have a blank line between them.
3. Fax Class 2 commands can be separated by the “:” character. The “;” character can be omitted if
desired. Non-data commands cannot be separated by the “;” which is allowed as a dial modifier.
4. All Class 2 commands are assumed to be the final command on a command line. Additional
characters will be ignored.
5. An ERROR message will be generated if any of the following conditions occur:
a. A Class 1 command is received while in Class 2.
b. A Class 2 command is received while in Class 1.
c. A Class 1 or Class 2 action command is received while in data modem mode.
d. A Class 2 read-only parameter is given the “=” form of a +F command (e.g., AT+FAXERR=5).
e. A Class
Serial Port Speed and Flow Control
During fax mode, the DTE-DCE port speed is 19200 bps.
The DCE provides a speed buffer of 1024 bytes and provides the DC1/DC3 (XON/XOFF) or RTS/CTS
method of controlling the data into the buffer. This flow control is controlled by the &K3 or &K4 command.
This method of data flow control is available only for DTE to DCE direction of data.
There is no provision for data flow control from DCE to DTE.
Data Stream Termination
The DCE exchanges streams of data with the DTE while executing data transfer commands. These
data streams use the termination described in Section 3.2/ISO 2111.
The ASCII <DLE> character (016) is used as a special character to shield special characters. The
<DLE><ETX> character pair (<106><003>) is used to mark the end of a stream. The following
patterns are used:
any data...<DLE><ETX> end of stream
any data...<DLE><DLE> single <DLE> in data
any data...<DLE><any byte> delete <DLE><any byte>
DTE to DCE Streams
The DCE filters the data stream from the DTE, and removes all character pairs beginning with
<DLE>. The DCE recognizes <DLE><ETX> as the stream terminator. The DCE recognizes
<DLE><DLE> and reinserts a single <DLE> in its place.
The DTE must filter stream data to the DCE, and insert extra <DLE> characters ahead of data.
DCE to DTE Streams
The DTE must filter the data stream from the DCE, and remove all character pairs beginning with
<DLE>. The DTE must recognize <DLE><ETX> as the stream terminator. The DTE must recognize
<DLE><DLE> and reinsert a single <DLE> in its place.
The DCE filters stream data to the DTE, and inserts extra <DLE> characters ahead of data.

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Auto Answer
The DCE can answer as a data DCE or as a fax DCE. It can answer the call adaptively, i.e., it can
determine whether the call is 'data' or 'fax'. The +FAA parameter controls this feature. Fax adaptive
answer operates only when +FCLASS=0.
AT+FAA=1 ; Auto answer as a facsimile or a data modem depending on the call
CONNECT XXXX ; DCE status response if data call
+FCON ; DCE status response if fax call
Identification of T.30 Options
Group 3 devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS, and DTC frames.
Session Status Reporting
The DCE provides reports to the DTE on the status of a session. The DCE provides the following status
reports:
1. Connection and hang up status:
+FCON
+FHNG:<0-255>
3. +FDCS: <string> reports the negotiated parameters
4. Phase C prompts:
XON, XOFF, DC2
5. Phase C base status reports: depending upon copy quality and related end-of page
status:
+FPTS: <1-5>
Procedure Interrupt Negotiation
CCITT allows a station to request a procedure interruption at the end of a page. This request is passed
between stations by the PIP, PIN, and PRI-Q messages.

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Service Class 2 Identification and
Selection
Three commands report identification and selection information. Each of these three
commands cause the DCE to send a message to the DTE.
+FMFR? - Request Manufacturer Identification
The +FMFR? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE product manufacturer.
The default message is:
CONEXANT
OK
+FMDL? - Identify Product Model
The +FMDL? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE product model.
+FREV? - Identify Product Revision
The +FREV? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE product model revision
number. The message format is the same as the ATI3 message, e.g.:
VX.X-F_A
OK

Page 81
Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Service Class 2 Action Commands
These commands transfer data, and punctuate sessions. They also release specific T.30 messages. All
action commands must be the last command on a command line as indicated by the terminating <CR>.
All action commands initiate processes. The modem will not accept other commands from the DTE until
the modem issues a final result code (e.g., OK, CONNECT). The modem will abort the process if it
receives any character before the final result code is issued.
Command: ATD Originate a Call
Syntax: ATD....<CR>
The DCE can support a DTE command to originate a call using the ATD
command (see Data Commands).
If this command is unsuccessful, the DCE reports an appropriate failure or error type result code such as
NO CARRIER, NO DIAL TONE, or BUSY (see S-Parameters).
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response is:
ATDnn..nn (go off-hook, dial, get CED)
+FCON (DCE detects flags)
[+FCSI:<remote ID string>]
+FDCS:<T.30 subparameter string>
OK
The DCE dials, detects call progress, and generates the CNG tone. It then waits for a DIS frame. On
detection of the first Phase B preamble (V.21 ch. 2 modulated by 300 bps HDLC flags), it reports the
“+FCON” message to the DTE. The DCE then switches to 19200 bps.
The DCE generates a DCS frame based on the received DIS frame and on the previously set +FDIS
parameter. A +FDT command from the DTE releases the DCE to transmit that DCS frame.
The DCE reports the initial received T.30 negotiation messages, including the DIS frame and the optional
CSI ID string. The +FDIS: report is followed by the OK final result code.
Command: ATA - Answer a Call
The DCE can support a DTE command to answer an incoming call using the ATA command (see Data
Commands).
The DTE may issue an Answer command in response to an incoming ring.
If the Answer command is unsuccessful, the DCE will report an appropriate failure or error type result
code, such as NO CARRIER (see S-Parameters).
Manual Call Answer
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response (answer and receive) is:
+FCON
[+FTSI:<remote ID string>]
+FDCS:<T.30 subparameter string>
OK
(DTE should issue +FDR command here)
Upon receipt of an Answer command from the DTE, the DCE answers and generates the CED tone. The
DCE then generates a DIS frame (derived from the +FDIS parameter) and hunts for the first T.30
negotiation frames. Upon detection of the first Phase B preamble (V.21 ch 2 modulated by 300 bps HDLC
flags), it reports the “+FCON” message to the DTE.
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. SocketModem MT5600SMI/MT5656SMI Reference Guide (S000306C) 81
Page 82
Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
The DTE should report the initial received T.30 negotiation messages, including the DCS frame. The
+FDCS: report will be followed by the OK final result code.
Automatic Answer
The modem provides for automatic answering of incoming calls. If configured for automatic answer, the
modem answers an incoming call in compliance with T.30, and reports the same messages as described
for manual answer.
Connection as a Data Modem
If configured to do so by the +FAA parameter, the DCE will adaptively answer as a facsimile DCE or as a
data DCE. If the DCE answers as a data DCE, it resets the +FCLASS parameter to 0 and issues the
appropriate final result code (e.g., CONNECT, or NO CARRIER) to the DTE.
Command: +FDT Data Transmission
Syntax: +FDT <CR>
The +FDT command prefixes Phase C data transmission. When the DCE is ready to accept Phase C
data, it issues the negotiation responses and the CONNECT result code to the DTE.
In Phase B, the +FDT command releases the DCE to proceed with negotiation, and releases the DCS
message to the remote station. In Phase C, the +FDT command resumes transmission after the end of a
prior transmit data stream.
Initiate Page Transmission
Phase B DCE polled response:
[+FCSI:<remote ID string>] - if new CSI received
[+FDIS:<subparameters from remote station>] - if new DIS received
+FDCS:<T.30 subparameter string>
CONNECT
<XON> - when ready for data
After placing a call, or after finishing a document exchange, the DTE may command the DCE to re-enter
T.30 Phase B to attempt to negotiate a document transmission.
Continue a Page
CONNECT
<XON>
The DTE may issue more than one +FDT command for a given page, so that different files may be
concatenated together. These files must have the same format.
Phase C Data Framing
Phase C data must be presented to the DCE in stream mode. The DCE expects Phase C data to follow
until it detects <DLE><ETX> termination characters. The DCE will filter the stream.
The DCE will acknowledge the end of the data by returning the OK result code to the DTE.
If there is data underrun before the next +FDT or +FET= command, the DCE will zero-fill the pad as per
T.4 until the Phase C timeout (+FPHCTO) is reached, or until more data is received. The DCE appends
an RTC pattern to the transmit data after an +FET= command is received from the DTE.
Phase C Data Format
The Phase C data will be of the format specified by the negotiated T.30 DCS frame.
The DCE will use the negotiated minimum Scan Time parameter from the DCS frame, and insert
sufficient fill bits to pad each line to the minimum scan time. This is reported in the +FDCS:ST
subparameter.

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
If the DCE finds more than one consecutive EOL in Phase C data (e.g., RTC), it will send only one EOL.
1. Phase C data must conform to T.4 specifications.
2. The DTE need not include a final RTC, since the DCE will append an RTC in response to an FET=
command.
3. Some facsimile machines may treat two EOLs as an RTC.
<CAN> - Escape from Transmission
The DCE may request the DTE to halt Phase C transmission, by sending a cancel <CAN> character
(024) to the DTE. In this case, the DTE should terminate Phase C transmission, issue <CAN>, and
wait for the OK response code from the DCE.

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FET Transmit Page Punctuation
Description: This command is used to punctuate page and document transmission after
one or more +FDT commands. This command generates T.30 Post Page
Messages selected by the <ppm> code.
The +FET=<ppm> command indicates that the current page is complete; no
more data will be appended to it. The value indicates whether there are any
additional pages are to be sent and, if so, whether there is a change in any of
the document parameters.
The DTE can command the DCE to generate PRI-Q messages with the
+FET=<ppm> command using ppm codes 4-6.
This command must be sent within the time out specified by +FPHCTO after
sending Phase C data, or else the DCE will end the page and document
transmission. If the Phase C timeout is reached, the DCE sends an EOP post
page message and terminates the session.
The remote facsimile station should respond to the post page message with a
post page response. The DCE will report this using the +FPTS:<ppr>
response.
Syntax: +FET=<ppm>[,<pc>,<bc>,<fc>]
DCE response: +FPTS:<ppr> - when receive from remote OK
End a Page
The +FET= command causes the DCE to append an RTC (6 EOL) pattern as needed and enter Phase D
by sending the selected T.30 Post Page message.
The +FET=1 (EOM) command signals the remote station that the next document will have a new DCS
negotiated; this causes the session to re-enter Phase B.

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FDR Begin or Continue Phase C Receive Data
Description: The +FDR command initiates transition to Phase C data reception. This can
occur after answering, dialing, a document is received, or a page is received.
The DCE reports the negotiated T.30 parameters, with the remote ID
information if available. When the DCE is ready to commence data transfer, it
issues a CONNECT response code. If the DCE cannot resume data transfer
because there is no more data, it responds OK. When the DTE is ready to
accept data, it issues an <DC2> character (018) to the DCE.
If the DTE issues an <XOFF> character to the DCE for flow control, the DCE
signals the DTE when its buffers are empty by sending a <DLE><DC2>
(<016><018>) character pair.
When the DCE delivers the last byte of a page, the DCE reports the Page
Transfer Status via the +FPTS:<ppr> response.
After a Page Transfer Status Report, the DCE reports the post page message
from the remote facsimile station via the +FET:<ppm> response which signals
the intentions of the remote station.
The DCE holds the post page response message to the remote facsimile
station (MCF, etc.), represented in the +FPTS parameter until the next +FDR
command. The DTE may modify the +FPTS parameter before issuing the
+FDR command which releases that message. The DTE must issue a +FDR
command to release Post Page Messages.
Syntax: +FDR <CR>
Default value: 3 seconds in some places
Initiate Document Reception
The +FDR command may be issued in Phase B after an answer command, or in Phase B after a previous
document.
The DCE response in stream mode is:
+FCFR when CFR sent
[+FTSI:<remote ID string>] if new TSI received
+FDCS:<T.30 subparameter string>] if new DCS
CONNECT
(<DC2> needed from DTE here)
<Phase C data stream>
<DLE><ETX>
+FPTS:<ppr>, <lc> [,<blc>, <cblc>]
+FET:<ppm>
OK
(DTE must issue +FDR command to release post page response)
Continue Document Reception
The DTE may issue a +FDR command in Phase D, which releases the post page message, and indicates
readiness to receive another page after receipt of a Multipage (+FET:0) or PPS-NULL (+FET:3) message.
The DCE response will be:
CONNECT
(<DC2> needed from DTE here)
<Phase C data stream)
<DLE><ETX>
+FPTS:<ppr>, <lc> [,<blc>, <cblc>]
+FET:<ppm>
OK
(DTE must issue +FDR command to release post page response)
If done receiving:
+FHNG: <hangup cause code>
OK

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Phase C Data Framing
Phase C data may be presented to the DTE in stream mode. The DCE will transfer a stream of data to
the DTE, followed by the <DLE><ETX> stream termination characters.
The DCE will filter the stream as described in Voice Commands -- <DLE> Shielded Codes Sent to the
Modem (DCE).
Phase C Data Format
The received data format is negotiated under T.30 reported by the +FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
response.
The DCE will delete the terminating RTC (6 EOLs) patterns.
<CAN> - Escape from Reception
From the +FDR command until the end of Phase D Date, the DCE is in a data transfer state, and will not
respond to DTE command characters. The DCE will respond to three ASCII control characters: <DC1>
(017) and <DC3> (019) flow control characters, and cancel <CAN> (024).
Upon receipt of the <CAN> character, the DCE will terminate the reporting of received data by sending
trailing <DLE><ETX> characters to the DTE, and will then execute an implied +FK command in order to
conduct an orderly disconnection.
Command: +FK Session Termination
Description: The +FK command causes the DCE to terminate the session in an orderly
manner. In particular, the DCE will send a DCN message at the next
opportunity and hang up. At the end of the termination process, the DCE will
report the +FHNG response with result code.
This operation can be invoked by using the cancel <CAN> character during
Phase C data reception (see prior section).
The DCE will wait until the current page completes, unless the reception is of
unlimited length; in that case, the DCE may halt reception and terminate the
session at any time.
Syntax: +FK
Command: +FCIG Set Polling ID
Description: This command allows setting the Local Polling ID string used in a CIG frame.
The syntax of this command is identical to +FLID.
Write syntax: +FCIG="<local ID string>"
Valid value: 20-character ASCII string

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Service Class 2 DCE Responses
The DCE sends information responses to the DTE as a facsimile session proceeds. They indicate the
state of the facsimile session and convey needed information. These messages are solicited messages
generated in execution of DTE action commands.
The DCE precedes and follows the information responses with <CR><LF>.
The DCE provides the on-line status of several session parameters when they are available during T.30
handshaking. These include the remote ID string and the DIS/DCS parameters. These responses report
the T.30 session parameter frames.
Command: +FCON Facsimile Connection Response
+FCON indicates connection with a fax machine. It is released by detection of HDLC flags in the first
received frame. +FCON is generated in response to an Originate or Answer command.
Command: +FDCS: Report Current Session Capabilities
Description: +FDCS:<string> reports the negotiated parameters. Phase C data will be
formatted as described by the subparameters. This message may be
generated in execution of +FDT or +FDR commands before the CONNECT
result code if new DCS frames are generated or received.
Syntax: +FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Command: +FDIS: Report Remote Station Capabilities
Description: +FDIS:<string> reports remote facsimile station capabilities and intentions.
The parameters are provided in ASCII notation. This message is generated in
execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or +FDR commands.
Syntax: +FDIS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Command: +FCFR Indicate Confirmation to Receive
Description: The DCE sends a +FCFR response to the DTE upon reception of an
acceptable TCF training burst and a valid DCS signal from the remote
machine. This indicates that the DCE will receive Phase C data after the
remote station receives the local DCE's CFR message. The +FCFR message
is generated in execution of a +FDR command.
Syntax: +FCFR
Command: +FTSI: Report the Transmit Station ID
Description: This response reports the received transmit station ID string, if any. This
message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or +FDR
commands.
Syntax: +FTSI: “<TSI ID string>” Transmit Station ID
Command: +FCSI: Report the Called Station ID
Description: This response reports the received called station ID string, if any. This
message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or +FDR
commands.
Syntax: +FCSI: “<CSI ID string>” Called Station ID

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FPTS: Receive Page Transfer Status
Description: The +FPTS:<ppr> is generated by the DCE at the end of Phase C data
reception in execution of a +FDR command. The <ppr> is generated by the DCE; it depends on the DCE capabilities at T.4
error checking.
The receiving DCE will count the lines. These values are;
<lc> = line count
<blc = bad line count
<cblc> = <consecutive bad line count
A receiving DTE may inspect <ppr> and write a modified value into the +FPTS
parameter. The DCE will hold the corresponding Post Page Response
message until released by a +FDR command from the DTE.
Syntax: +FPTS:<ppr>, <lc> [,<blc>, <cblc>]
Command: +FET: Post Page Message Response
Description: The +FET:<post page message> response is generated by a receiving DCE
after the end of Phase C reception on receipt of the post-page message from
the transmitting station. The +FET:<ppm> response is generated in execution
of a +FDR command. The <ppm> codes respond to the T.30 post page
messages.
Syntax: +FET:<ppm>
Command: +FPTS: Transmit Page Transfer Status
Description: The +FPTS: response reports a <ppr> number representing the copy quality
and related post-page message responses received from the remote DCE.
The +FPTS:<ppr> response is generated in execution of a +FET=<ppm>
command.
Syntax: +FPTS:<ppr>
Command: +FHNG: Call Termination with Status
Description: +FHNG indicates that the call has been terminated. The hangup cause is
reported and stored in the +FAXERR parameter for later inspection.
+FHNG:<hsc> is a possible intermediate result code to any DTE action
command. It is always followed by the OK final result code.
Upon termination of a call, the DCE determines the cause of termination and
reports it as part of the FHNG:<hsc> response. It also stores this <hsc> code
in the +FAXERR parameter for later inspection.
The hangup values are organized according to the phases of the facsimile
transaction as defined by T.30. In the Figure A/T.30 flow charts, there are
decision boxes labeled “Command Received?"; this is referred to as
COMREC in the table. Similarly, decision boxes labeled `Response
Received?' are referred to as RSPREC in the table. A COMREC error or
RSPREC error indicates that one of two events occurred: 1) a DCN
(disconnect) signal was received, or 2) an FCS error was detected and the
incoming signal was still present after 3 seconds.
The table values are in decimal notation. Leading zero characters are
optional.

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FCIG: Report the Polled Station ID
Description: This response reports the received transmit station ID string, if any. This
message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or +FDR
commands.
Syntax: +FCIG: “< ID string>” Polled Station ID
Command: +FDTC: Report the Polled Station Capabilities
Description: If the answerer has a document to poll, it would be communicated to the
originator in bit 9 of the DIS frame. The originating station may elect to
transmit a fax, and later, send SIG and DTC frames to pick up the polled
document. The answering station would report the incoming DTC frame via
the +FDTC: response message after command mode is canceled with the
AT+FDR command.
Syntax: +FDTC: “< string>” Polled Station Capabilities
Command: +FPOLL Indicate Polling Request
Description: This message is sent to the DTE if the received DIS message indicates that
the remote station has a document to poll (by bit 9 in the DIS) and polling has
been enabled with the AT+FSPL command. The DTE may then decide to
receive rather than transmit.
Syntax: +FPOLL:

Service Class 2 Parameters
All Service Class 2 parameters can be read, written, and tested for range of legal values by the DCE. The
general syntax is described in the Voice Commands Overview section.
Group 3 FAX devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS, and DTC frames. The following
parameters are provided to condition the facsimile DCE for the capabilities it will offer and to report the
session settings negotiated.
The three primary T.30 session parameters are +FDCC, +FDIS and +FDCS. They are compound
parameters.
Figure 3-2. T.30 Session Parameter Relationships
Command: +FDCC DCE Capabilities Parameters
Description: +FDCC allows the DTE to sense and constrain the capabilities of the facsimile
DCE from the choices defined in CCITT T.30 Table 2. When +FDCC is
modified by the DTE, the DCE copies +FDCC into +FDIS.
Write syntax: +FDCC=VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,ED,BF,ST
Valid values: See Table 3-2.
Default values: 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (9600 bps fax models) or 0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (14400 bps fax
models)
Command: +FDIS Current Sessions Capabilities Parameters
Description: The +FDIS parameter allows the DTE to sense and constrain the capabilities
used for the current session. The DCE uses +FDIS to generate DIS or DTC
messages directly, and uses +FDIS and received DIS messages to generate
DCS messages.
The DCE initializes the +FDIS parameter from the +FDCC parameter on
initialization, when +FDCC is written, and at the end of a session.
Write syntax: +FDIS=VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Valid values: See Table 3-2.
Default values: 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (9600 bps fax models) or 0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (14400 bps fax
models)

Page 92
Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FDCS Current Session Results Parameters
Description: The +FDCS parameter is loaded with the negotiated T.30 parameters for the
current session. A transmitting DCE generates DCS; a receiving DCE gets
DCS from the remote station. The DTE may read this parameter.
The +FDCS parameter is initialized 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 upon initialization and at
the beginning of a session. If the DTE issues a +FDCS? command in the
initial state, the DCE reports:
<CR><LF>0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0<CR><LF>
The contents of +FDCS are spontaneously reported during execution of +FDR
or +FDT commands by the +FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,BF,EC,BF,ST response
using the same compound parameter format.
Several commands and responses reference T.30 session negotiated
parameters. These are described by a set of common subparameters.
The +FDCC, +FDIS, and +FDCS compound parameters use these session
parameters (On writes, unspecified subparameters are unchanged.)
The +FDIS:, +FDCS:, and +FDTC: session report responses use these
subparameters.
For test response, ranges of values are reported for each subparameter
enclosed in parentheses characters. For example, a DCE response to

Page 93
Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FCR Capability to Receive
Description: +FCR=0 indicates that the DCE will not receive message data. This can be
used when the DTE has insufficient storage. The DCE can send and can be
polled for a file.
+FCR is sampled in CCITT T.30 Phase A and Phase D.
Write syntax: +FCR=<value>
Valid values: 0 or 1
Default value: 0
Command: +FPTS= Page Transfer Status
Description: The +FPTS parameter contains a value representing the post page response,
including copy quality and related end-of-page status. These values
correspond to post page response messages defined in T.30. The receiving
DCE sets this parameter after it receives a page of Phase C data. The
transmitting DCE sets this parameter with the status reported by the receiving
station. The DTE may inspect or modify this parameter.
The set of <ppr> values is defined in Table 3-4. These values are also
reported in the +FPTS response to the +FDR command.
Write Syntax: +FPTS=<ppr>
Valid values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Default value: 0
Command: +FCQ Copy Quality Checking
Description: This parameter controls Copy Quality checking by a receiving facsimile DCE.
The DCE returns +FCQ=0 which indicates the DCE does no quality checking.
The DCE will generate Copy Quality OK (MCF) responses to complete pages,
and set +FPTS=1.
Write syntax: +FCQ=<value>
Valid values: 0
Default value: 0
Command: +FPHCTO DTE Phase C Response Time-out
Description: The +FPHCTO command determines how long the DCE will wait for a
command after reaching the end of data when transmitting in Phase C. When
this time-out is reached, the DCE assumes there are no more pages and no
documents to send. It then sends the T.30 EOP response to the remote
Description: his read-only parameter indicates the cause of the hangup. Table 3-5 shows
the valid values for this parameter as well as the meaning of the each value.
+FAXERR is set by the DCE at the conclusion of a fax session. The DCE
resets +FAXERR to 0 at the beginning of Phase A off-hook time.
Read syntax: +FAXERR= <table value>, read only
Valid values: 0 - 255

Chapter 3 – Fax Class 2 Commands
Command: +FBOR Data Bit Order
Description: This parameter controls the mapping between PSTN facsimile data and the
DTE-DCE link. There are two choices:
Direct: The first bit transferred to each byte on the DTE-DCE link is the
first bit transferred on the PSTN data carrier.
Reversed: The last bit transferred of each byte on the DTE-DCE link is
the first bit transferred on the PSTN data carrier.
There are two data types to control:
This command controls Phase C data (T.4 encoded data) transferred
during execution of +FDT or +FDR commands.
The following two codes are supported:
+FBOR=0 or 2 Selects direct bit order for Phase C data.
+FBOR=1 or 3 Selects reversed bit order for Phase C data.
This parameter does not affect the bit order of control characters generated by
the DCE.
Write syntax: +FBOR=<value>
Valid values: 0, 1, 2, or 3
Default value: 0
Command: +FAA Answer Parameter
Description: Fax adaptive answer operates only when +FCLASS=0.
Class 2 adaptive answer is implemented as follows:
First, a data mode handshake is attempted. If the DCE has been configured
for automode detection (using the +MS command), the DCE may try several
protocols before terminating attempts to make a data mode connection. This
can take as long as 6-8 seconds.
If the data mode connection attempt fails, a facsimile Class 2 connection is
assumed. When a connection is made as a result of the adaptive answer, the
DCE issues the DATA or FAX result code before the CONNECT or +FCON
message to inform the DTE of the connection type. After making a Class 2
connection, the DCE stays on-line rather than going into the command mode
as with a Class 1 connection.
Write syntax: +FAA=<value>
Valid values: 0 or 1
Default value: 0
+FAA=0 Constrains the DCE to answer as set by +FCLASS.
+FAA=1 Indicates that the DCE can answer and automatically determine
whether to answer as a Class 2 facsimile DCE or as a data
modem. If the DCE automatically switches, it modifies FCLASS
appropriately.
Command: +FBUF? Buffer Size
Description: The +FBUF parameter allows the DTE to determine the characteristics of the
DCE's data buffer. Data buffers are used for flow control. Use of the reported
values allow the DTE to transfer data without provoking XOFF.
Read syntax: +FBUF?
DCE response syntax: <bs>, <xoft>, <xont>, <bc>
where:
<bs> = total buffer size
<xoft> = XOFF threshold
<xont> = XON threshold

Chapter 4 – Voice Commands
Voice Configuration Commands
Command: +FCLASS=8 Select Voice Mode
+FCLASS=8 selects the Voice Mode. The Voice Mode commands and
responses described in this section are applicable when command
+FCLASS=8. (See the Generic Modem Control section for the
definition of the FCLASS command.)
Command: +VNH Automatic Hang-up Control
This command enables or disables automatic hangups.
Syntax: +VNH=<hook>
Defined Values: <hook> Decimal number corresponds to the selected option (Table 2-4).
0 The modem enables automatic hangups as is normal in other modes.
1 The modem disables automatic hangups usually found in the other
non-Voice Modes.
2 The modem disables automatic hangups in the other non-Voice
Modes. The modem performs only a “logical” hangup (returns to OK
result code).
Table 4-4. +VNH Command Behavior
Command Response
Command No Carrier
Present
+VNH=0 Y Y Y Y
+VNH=1 N Y Y Y
+VNH=2 N N N Y
Notes:
Y= will hang-up; N= will not hang-up.
How +VNH is reset:
DTE uses +VNH command to change setting.
DTE issues another +FCLASS mode change without issuing another +VNH.
A hang-up event occurs (see this table).
DTE issues +VIP command.
ATH ATZ DTR & D2
Reporting Current or Selected Values:
Command: +VNH?
Response: <hook>
Example: 0 For the default setting.
Reporting Supported Range of Parameter Values:
Command: +VNH=?
Response: (<hook> range)
Example: (0-2)
Result Codes: OK <hook> = 0-2.
ERROR Otherwise.
