Setting Up Remote Access
At the Host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem
1. Prepare to send AT commands by putting your communications software in Terminal Mode.
2. Enable remote access.
Set Register S41 for a value of 1 or greater. S41 sets the number of login attempts available to
the remote user. A setting of zero allows no login attempts disabling remote access.
Example: Sending ATS41=1&W allows for 1 login attempt by a remote user.
3. Set one or two remote -access passwords.
You can set two passwords to allow different levels of access to each Courier Lite 56K
Business Modem.
Example: Sending AT%P1= wombat will allow a remote user to log in with the password "wombat."
The user can view and change the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem’s configuration.
Note: Remote-access passwords can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long, and are not case sensitive.
The table below is a list of remote -access configuration commands.
Example: Sending AT%P1= will erase the view and change password.
WARNING: If you erase the %P1 password without disabling remote access (using ATS41=0), anyone
could access the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem and change its configuration.
Accessing The Host at the Guest Device
The guest device requires no configuration to access the host. Follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the host device has enabled remote access and is set to auto -answer (ATS0=1).
Know the password, if you will need one.
2. Call the host device (although it doesn’t matter which device originates the call).
3. After a connection is established, do this:
Pause 4 seconds.
Type 4 tildes: ~~~~
Pause 4 seconds.
Note: The administrator of the host device can change the remote -access character using SRegister 42, and the pause duration using S-Register 43. Refer to the S-Registers section for
more information.
Any of the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem commands, except those that cannot
be used while online (for example, ATD or ATA). You can also use remote
configuration commands.
See the next section for examples.
4. You should see a display similar to this:
U.S. Robotics Courier 56K Business Remote Access Session
Serial Number 000000A000000001
Password (Ctrl-C to cancel)?
There is a three minute time limit for entering the password. If the num ber of unsuccessful
login attempts exceeds the set limit, the host device returns online and refuses any further
login attempts during the remainder of the connection.
When the host accepts the password, the following message and prompt will appear on your
screen:
Remote Access granted
Remote->
Note:You may not be prompted for a password. If you aren’t, password security is not active.
The following prompt appears on your screen after you type the four tildes:
5686G-PRO User Guide
Remote Access granted (query only)
Remote->
Note: During a remote-access session, the maximum number of characters between carriage
returns is 40.
Viewing and Changing the Host’s Configuration
Once you've gained guest access to a host, you can communicate with the host just as if you were
entering commands from its attached computer.
Depending on your access privileges, you can use the regular set of Courier Lite 56K Business
Modem AT commands.
CAUTION: Be careful not to send ATZ or ATZ! or you will lose the connection!
Defer configuration changes to when the call ends.
AT%C0(Default)
Restore the original configuration.
Use this command to cancel any changes made during remote access and restore
the original configuration.
AT%C1
Force configuration changes.
Use this command to make configuration changes take effect immediately. We do
not recommend forcing changes unless it is absolutely necessary because an
unreliable connection, or even a loss of connection, may result.
AT%C2
To end the remote-access session
Command
And keep the connection.
ATO
And end the connection.
ATH
End the connection, and reset the host modem.
ATZ
You can use the AT%Cn command to control whether and when to apply changes to the
configuration.
Example: Sending AT%C1 will cancel any changes made to the modem during a remote access session
and restore it to the original configuration.
Note: Even though, by default (%C0), the changes you make do not take effect until the next
connection, the new configuration is reflected immediately in inquiry responses (ATIn). Commands
that have been written to NVRAM (using &W) and forced configuration changes (%C2) will not be
restored to their previous settings when you send the host AT%C1.
After you make changes to the host’s configuration, the remote- access prompt changes
from Remote-> to Remote+>.
If you restore the original configuration using the AT%C1 command, the first prompt is restored,
assuring you the original configuration is intact.
Quitting A Remote Access Session
If you want to quit the remote access login before you have entered the password, return online by
pressing <Ctrl>C or typing ATO.
After you’ve entered the password, you can quit by sending one of these commands:
Note: Before you disconnect, issue the ATI5 command to the remote modem and check
its S41 setting. Make sure S41 is set for a value of 1 or greater. If S41 is set to 0, when you disconnect
The device that is directly connected to the computer you are using.
Remote
The device at the other end of a telephone connection.
Host
The Courier Lite 56K Business Modem that will be accessed and controlled by other
devices.
Guest
The device that will access and control the host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem.
you will not be able to access the remote modem again. To prevent this send ATS41=1&W before you
disconnect.
Dial Security
This section contains information about:
Setting up Dial Security
Maintaining Security Accounts
What The Guest User Needs To Do
Configuring Dial Security Remotely
DTMF Security
Overview
Dial Security is designed to protect networks and data centers from unauthorized access.
You should be familiar with these terms before you continue:
You can configure up to 5 accounts: one administrative account for you and four accounts for guest
users. The account profiles are stored in the host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem ’s nonvolatile
random access memory (NVRAM).
There are two forms of Dial Security; each will be explained later in this section :
Hang up and then dial back a
guest device at a specified
number.
Expect a pause of
approximately 1.5 minutes
before the modem dials back.
You cannot alter the duration
of the pause.
AT%A0=password,y,y,n,1area code and phone number
AT%A0=wombat,y,y,n,1,8475555555
Prompt you to enter a
number at which to dial back
a device, and then have the
Courier Lite 56K Business
Modem dial back the device
at that number
AT%A0=password,y,y,y,
AT%A0=wombat,y,y,y,
Disable dialback
AT%A0=password,y,n,,
AT%A0=wombat,y,n,,
Dialback options
You can set the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem to automatically dial back a certain number
after a guest modem dials in.
Note: Count your commas. There should always be at least four commas in the %A command. Do
not insert spaces between commas or between fields and commas. Spaces will invalidate the
command.
Note: To enable Dialback, you must enable Dial Security with Prompting. See step 6.
Identify your account as the Administrative
Account
AT%L
AT%L=PW0
This example sets account 0 as the
Administrative Account.
For your modem to
Command
Protect the administrative password (local security enabled)
ATS53.2=1
2. Identify your account as the Administrative Account
Once you set the administrative password, you cannot view or modify the guest account profiles
unless you enter the correct administrative password.
WARNING: Be sure to remember your administrative password. If you enable Dial Security and
then forget your administrative password, you will be locked out of the Courier Lite 56K Business
Modem’s dial security features. You will need to restore the factory defaults by setting DIP switch
7 ON. This will erase ALL passwords and you will have to reconfigure all your accounts.
3. Set up guest-user accounts
Use the AT%An command to set up guest-user accounts in the same way you set up your
administrative account. You can set up four guest accounts. Refer to the figure in step 1
regarding information about formatting the AT%An command.
After you have enabled the guest accounts, make sure the guest users know their passwords and
the log-in procedure.
Modifying accounts
After you have set up an account, you can modify each field independently. If a field is to remain
unchanged from its original setting, just insert a com ma as shown:
AT%A1=,,,Y,
The command above allows the guest user to supply a dialback number that is different from the
one stored in the original account record.
4. Enable Local Security.
WARNING: If you do not enable Local Security, the Dial Security settings will not be protected
and other users will be able to change or erase them.
Note: You must use the &W command to save the settings in NVRAM. If you don’t, the next time
you reset or power off the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem , Dial Security will be disabled.
You can choose from the two types of Dial Security: Autopass and Password Prompting.
Autopass
Autopass is the default form of password protection. Autopass automates the process of logging
in to the host modem, but it requires the guest and host devices to be U.S. Robotics Courier
modems.
When a guest device attempts an Autopass connection, the guest includes the password in its
V.42 error-control request. The host modem checks all the enabled passwords in its security
accounts for a match.
Password Prompting
Password Prompting allows connections with any guest device, as long as the guest user knows
the correct password.
When the host has Password Prompting enabled, it asks guest users for a password. The host
modem checks the received password against each of its act ive Security accounts.
Dial Security with Password Prompting
(this also enables Autopass)
ATS53.0=1.1=1
Dialback Security, enable Password
Prompting and enable Dialback in each
guest account
AT%An=password,y,y,y,phone number
where n is the account number. See the figure in previous
section, Setting Up Dial Security for more information.
6. Enable Dial Security
WARNING: Before you enable Dial Security, you must set up an administrative account and
password. See Steps 1 & 2.
Example: Issuing AT%A3=wombat,y,y,y,5551234 to your modem will enable Password Prompting
and Dialback for account 3, which has the password "wombat."
Note: You must use the &W command to save the settings for Enabling Autopass Dial Security
and Dial Security with Password Prompting. If you don’t, the next time you reset or power off the
Courier Lite 56K Business Modem, Dial Security will be disabled.
If you need a reference when setting these commands, you can use the ATI10 command. Refer to
the Alphabetic Command Summary section for more information about the ATI10 command.
7. Send ATZ or ATZ! to activate the Dial Security settings.
Note: Make sure that DIP switch 7 is OFF, so the modem loads the settings stored in NVRAM. If
DIP switch 7 is ON, the settings in ROM (&F0) are loaded, disabling dial security. You can retrieve
the dial security settings by setting DIP switch 7 OFF and resetting the Courier Lite 56K Business
Modem using ATZ or by toggling the power of the modem.
Access accounts by disabling local security
AT%S=administrative password
View account information, once access has been granted.
Remote users may only use this command during remote
access sessions if local-access security is disabled.
ATI10
Erase local-access password
AT%E=1
Erase Autopass password
AT%E=2
Erase passwords in accounts 0-4
AT%E=3
Erase phone numbers in accounts 0-4
AT%E=4
Disable Account, Dialback, and New Number fields in
accounts 0-4.
AT%E=5
Edit or overwrite an individual account or an individual
account field
AT%An=
where n is the account number.
See the image in the Setting Up Dial
Security section for more information.
Maintaining Security Accounts
Once the administrative password is set and Dial Security is enabled, the administrator is the on ly
one who can access account information.
You can use the AT%S= and AT%E= commands to change and modify account information.
Example: Sending AT%E=3 erases passwords for accounts 0-4.
Note: When using the AT%S= command, the device echoes the administrative password, which is
case-sensitive. Courier 56K Business Modems will accept an invalid password entry, but will lock out
users from the security commands. For example, if the password is Green, but you enter GREEN, an
OK is displayed. However, if you try to type a security command (for example, ATI10 to view
accounts), an [ACCESS DENIED] message is displayed.
Remote Configuration
Dial Security accounts may be configured remotely. (Refer to Configuring Dial Security Remotely at
the end of this section .)
3. If Dialback is enabled at the host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem ’s site, set your modem to
answer the host Courier Lite 56K Business Modem when it dials back.
4. Call the host.
5. After the call ends you can disable Auto Answer.
Configuring Dial Security Remotely
The host administrator can configure the host’s security settings remotely.
Note: At the host device, you must have previously enabled remote access and assigned a remote access password that allows view-and-change privileges (Refer to the Accessing and Configuring the
Modem Remotely section in this guide). You may want to use your administrative password as your
remote-access password.
Dialing In From the Remote Site
1. From the remote site, connect to the host using Dial Security. Once a connection is made,
follow the instructions for beginning a remote -access session as described in the Accessing
and Configuring the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem Remotely.
2. When remote access has been granted, use the AT%S= command to access the Dial Security
accounts. Refer to the Maintaining Security Accounts part in this section .
To view the security account information use ATI10.
3. Make any configuration changes and execute them immediately by entering AT%C2.
4. To end the remote session and reactivate Dial Security on the host, reset the host device by
issuing ATZ.
WARNING: If you do not use the ATZ command to end a remote-access session, Dial Security will
remain disabled at the host, and anyone dialing in to the host for remote access will have access to
the ATI10 screen and all Dial Security accounts.
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi -Frequency) Security requires a modem to go off hook when it receives a call
but keep silent until it receives the valid DTMF password. After the modem receives the valid
password, it will begin training. If the DTMF password is invalid, the modem will go on hook, and the
DTE will never know there had been a cal l coming.
The DTMF security status and password are shown in the ATI10 screen.
DTMF security is enabled by setting the S53 bit 3, e.g. S53=8 or S53.3=1.
Using the %D command sets the DTMF security password (AT%D=PWn, n=0--4). Make sure to disable
that account so no one can use the DTMF password as the Dial Security account. For example, to set
local modem DTMF security password, you may use following command: AT%A0=123456,N,,,
then AT%D=PW0. You can change that security account later, if you like.
The DTMF password can be the combination of 0123456789*ABCD; the # is used as the password end
sign. The maximum length of the DTMF password is eight characters.
The remote modem dial string should look like this: ATDT2625000@123456#. In this example,
“123456” is the DTMF security password.
Testing the Connection
This section contains information about:
Testing the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem using AT&Tn
Overview
Your modem can perform local analog loopback and local digital loopback tests. You can use these
tests to check the operations of the modem’s transmitter and receiver, or to locate a problem with a
remote device or a telephone line.
Testing is done by sending the AT&Tn command or by setting Register S16. Only one test can be
performed at a given time. If you send a test command while the modem is in test mode, you will
receive an ERROR message.
All loopback testing conforms to ITU-T Recommendation V.54.
Testing the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem using AT&Tn
To perform local analog loopback and local digital loopback testing, use the AT&Tn command. You
can type in your own data during testing or use the modem's internal test pattern and error detector.
See the following sections for more detailed information about each AT&Tn command.
Example: Sending AT&T3 to your Courier Lite 56K Business Modem will allow a remote user to test
their connection to your modem.
Note: Disable error control (using the &M0 command, refer to the Alphabetic Command Summary )
before testing. If the modem is detecting errors and retransmitting the affected data, your results
will be invalid.
Analog Loopback Testing
Local loopback testing checks the operation of the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem 's transmitter
and receiver.
Using AT&T1
1. Send AT&M0&N3S14.0=0 to prepare the modem for testing.
This command disables error control, fixes the connection rate at 2400 bps, and makes the
modem return to command mode when you type +++.
2. Send AT&T1 to the modem so it enters analog loopback mode. The CD status light will
illuminate.
3. Type any recognizable data. It will be looped back by your modem's transmitter for
verification on your screen.
4. When the test is completed, send +++ and then AT&T0 to end the test.
Alternatively, you can end the test by sending ATH, or ATZ. Be careful, though,
because ATZ resets the modem in addition to ending the test.
In either case, the modem responds with OK. If the modem sends an ERROR message, you
have issued an invalid command.
5. Send AT&M4, unless you used a reset command (ATZ).
Note: If the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem is in online command mode, still connected to a
remote modem, and you send AT&T1 or AT&T8, it drops the call, enters analog loopback mode, sends
a CONNECT result, and waits for loopback characters.
Stopping a Test (AT&T0, ATS18)
To stop a test, send AT&T0 to the modem, or set Register S18 to a specified number of seconds (for
example, ATS18=10). When the 10 seconds are up, the modem will stop the test automatically and
return to Command Mode. Send ATH to the modem to hang up, or send ATZ to hang up and reset the
modem to its defaults.
Note: If you use the S18 test timer, but in the process of testing you issue an ATZ command, S18
resets to zero and the timer is disabled. You cannot store a value for S18 in NVRAM; its power-on and
reset default is always zero.
Using AT&T8
This analog loopback option causes the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem to send an internal test
pattern to its transmitter and loop it back to the receiver. An internal error detector counts any
errors and, when the test is ended, sends the number of errors or 000 (no errors) to the screen.
Since you don't type anything during this test and the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem does not
send anything to the screen, this option verifies only the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem. If there
are no errors but your problem continues, it may be at the computer interface.
1. Send AT&M0&N3S14.0=0 to the modem to prepare for testing.
This command disables error control, fixes the connection rate at 2400 bps, and makes the
Courier Lite 56K Business Modem return to command mode when you type +++.
An ERROR message indicates that you issued an invalid command.
2. Send AT&T8 to begin the test.
The Courier Lite 56K Business Modem enters analog loopback (AL) mode, and sends a
CONNECT message. The CD status light will illuminate. The modem then sends its internal test
pattern to the transmitter, and loops the pattern back to the receiver. You will not see any
data on your screen.
3. Send the escape code, +++, and then AT&T0 to end the test.
Alternatively, you can end the test with the S18 test timer or by sending ATH or ATZ. Be
careful, because ATZ resets the modem in addition to ending the test.
In any case, the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem hangs up and returns a three-digit code,
followed by OK.
4. Send AT&M4, unless you used a reset command (ATZ or ATZ!).
Digital Loopback Testing (AT&T3)
This test can help you locate a problem with a remote device or with the telephone line. The figure
below shows the data flow during Digital Loopback (DL) testing.
1. Send the command AT&M0&N3S14.0=0 to the modem to prepare for testing.
This command disables error control, fixes the connection rate at 2400 bps, and makes the
Courier return to command mode when you type +++.
2. Establish a connection with the remote device.
3. Send the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem the escape code, +++, to bring it back to Command
mode.
4. Send AT&T3 to the modem to enter Digital Loopback mode.
5. Have the remote user type a short message. It will be looped back by your Courier Lite 56K
Business Modem's transmitter for verification on the remote user's screen. You will not see
the message or any other data.
6. When the remote user has completed the test, send the escape code, +++, and then AT&T0 to
end the test.
Alternatively, you can end the test with the S18 test timer or by sending ATH or ATZ. Be
careful, because ATZ resets the modem in addition to ending the test.
In any case, the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem responds OK. If the modem sends
an ERROR message, you have issued an invalid command.
7. Send AT&M4, unless you used ATZ.
REFERENCE
S-Registers
Understanding Bit -Mapped S-Registers
A bit-mapped S-Register uses one number to describe a collection of settings. Bit -mapping allows us
to pack a lot of information in a small space.
Bit-mapped registers are in the form of Sr.b=n, where r is the bit -mapped register; .b is the bit; n is 0
(off) or 1 (on).
The modem displays the value of an S-Register, as a decimal value between 0 and 255. The modem,
however, understands the decimal value as a collection of binary digits (bits).
Bits can be mapped into decimal values. Each bit can be either on (1) or off (0). Eight bits create 256
unique combinations of 1s and 0s. Each of the eight bits can be assigned a number corresponding to
its position:
b b b b b b b b
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Also, each bit can be assigned a value corresponding to its number (e.g., the value equals 2 to the
power of the bit):
Converting Bits to Decimal Values
Starting with a string of eight bits, assign each "1" bit a value based on its position. Add the values to
come up with the final decimal value.
Here’s an example of how bits are converted to decimal values:
Sets the number of rings on which to answer in Auto Answer
mode. S0=0 disables Auto Answer. S0=1 enables Auto Answer and the Courier
Lite 56K Business Modem answers on the first ring.
S1 0 Counts and stores the number of rings from an incoming call.
S2
43
Stores the ASCII decimal code for the escape code character. Default character
is “+”. A value of 128-255 disables the escape code.
Converting Decimal Values to Bits
Convert decimal values to bits by finding the largest decimal equivalent that is less than the decimal
value. Subtract the decimal equivalent and mark the equivalent bit "1." Continue until the decimal
value is zero. See the example below.
You can set bit-mapped S-Registers using either bits or decimal values. While it may be simpler for
you to set the bits individually, your modem displays the S -Register settings in decimal form.
Using Bits
Turning individual bits on and off is the more direct way to set bit -mapped S-Registers. To do this,
specify the S-Register that you want to set and then indicate which bits you want to turn on (1) or off
(0).
Example: ATS13.0=1.4=1.5=1, turns bits 0, 4, and 5 on for S-Register 13.
Using Decimal Values
An alternative way to set bit-mapped S-Registers is by adding the decimal values of the bits and
entering the total.
This example, ATS13=49, sets the same value as the one in Using Bits above.
Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Carriage Return character. Valid range is
0-127.
S4
10
Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Line Feed character. Valid range is 0 -127.
S5
8
Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Backspace character. A value of 128 -255
disables the Backspace key's delete function.
S6
0
Set the number of seconds the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem waits for a dial
tone.
S7
60
Sets the number of seconds the Courier Lite 56K Business Modem waits for a
carrier. May be set for much longer duration if, for example, the Courier Lite
56K Business Modem is originating an international connection.

Sets the duration in tenths of a second of the extra 3000/600 Hz answer tones
sent during V.32 hand-shaking. This gives V.32 modems additional time to
connect in V.32 mode before timing out.
If there is difficulty answering older, manually operated V.32 modems (for
example, modems that require a button to be pushed in order to dial), try
lengthening the duration of the extra tones. Setting S28 to zero eliminates the
extra tones resulting in a faster connect time if, for example, the Courier Lite

Escape code. Once your modem is online with another device, the only command
it recognizes is an escape code of three typed plus signs, which forces the modem
back to Command mode. Do the following when issuing the command:
1. Wait 1 second after sending the last item of data.
2. Type +++
3. Wait 1 second before typing any data.
When you type +++, the modem will either hang up or stay on line, depending on
how you set S14.
>
Repeat command. If you include the repeat command in the Dial string, the
modem will dial the number and wait 60 seconds for a carrier.
If the line is busy, the modem will pause for 2 seconds and then redial. The
modem makes a maximum of 10 attempts.
A/
Reexecute the last-issued command. DO NOT type AT or press ENTER.
A>
Repeat the last-issued command until canceled by pressing any key. DO NOT
type AT or press Enter.
AT
Attention prefix: informs a modem that a command is coming. AT must precede all
commands except A/, A>, and +++.
A

indicator (LAPM, MNP, SYNC, or NONE) and a data compression type
(V42 bis or MNP5).
&Bn
Set the serial port rate to variable or fixed.
&B0
Variable: The serial port rate adapts to match the speed of the
connection.
&B1
Fixed: The modem always communicates with your computer at the
rate at which you have set, regardless of the connection rate.
&B2
When answering calls, use the fixed rate for ARQ calls and variable
rates for non-ARQ calls.
The serial port rate should be equal to or higher than the &Nn rate.
Controls how the modem sends a Carrier Detect (CD) signal to your computer.
&C0
CD always ON, even if the modem is not on line.
&C1
Normal operations. The modem sends a CD signal when it connects
with another modem and drops the CD when it disconnects.
&Dn
Control how the modem responds to Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals.
&D0
DTR is always ON (ignored).
&D1
If issued before connecting with another device, the Courier Lite 56K
Business Modem can enter online Command mode during a call by
dropping DTR.
&D1 functions similarly to the escape code (+++).
Return online with the On command, or hang up with the Hn
command.
&D2
Normal DTR operations. The modem will not accept commands unless
your computer sends a DTR signal. Dropping DTR ends a call.
&D3
Modem resets with DTR toggle.
&Fn

&Gn
Set guard tones for international calls.
&G0
No guard tone. Use this in the United States and Canada.
&G1
This sets a 550 Hz guard tone, and is used in some European countries.
&G2
This sets an 1800 Hz guard tone, and is used in the U.K. and some
Commonwealth countries. &G2 requires the B0 setting.
Transmit data flow control. Prevents the modem’s buffer for data transmitted to the
modem by its attached computer from overflowing.
&H0
Disable transmit data flow control.
&H1
Use hardware flow control. Requires that your computer and software
support Clear to Send (CTS) at the EIA -232 interface.
&H2
Use software flow control. Requires that your software support
XON/XOFF signaling
&H3
Use both hardware and software flow control. If you are unsure about
what your equipment supports, select this option.
&In
Received data software flow (XON/OFF) control.
&I1
The modem acts on your typed XON/XOFF commands, Ctrl -S or Ctrl-Q,
and passes them to the remote device.
&I2
The modem acts on your XON/XOFF commands, but removes them
from the data stream instead of passing them to the remote device.
This is the recommended setting for ARQ mode.
&Kn
Enable or disable data compression. This command overwrites the current status of
the +DCS and +DS commands, and is also overwritten by changes made by the +DCS
and +DS commands.
&K0
Disable data compression.
&K1
Use auto-enable/disable. The modem enables compression if the serial
port rate is fixed (&B1) and disables compression if the serial port rate
follows the connection rate (&B0) because compression offers no
throughput advantage when the serial port and connection rates are
equal; in fact, compression may degrade throughput.
&K2
Always enable data compression.
&K3
Selective data compression. The modem negotiates only for V.42 bis
compression, and disables MNP Level 5 (MNP5) compression. Use this
setting to transfer compressed files.
Variable rate. The modem negotiates with the remote device for the
highest possible connection rate, depending on the capabilities of the
remote device.
n=1-38
Fixed rate. The modem connects only if the remote device is operating
at the same rate or higher.
The connection rate should be lower than or equal to the serial port
rate.

&Rn
Received data (RTS) hardware flow control.
&R1
Ignore RTS. This setting is required if your computer or terminal or
software does not support RTS.
&R2
Enable hardware flow control of received data. The modem sends data
to the computer only upon receipt of the RTS signal.
&Sn
Send the computer a Data Set Ready (DSR) signal via the EIA-232 interface.
&S0
DSR is always ON (override).
&S1
In Originate mode: Send DSR after dialing, on detection of the remote
device’s answer tone. In Answer mode: Send DSR after sending an
answer tone.
&S2
When Carrier is lost, send a pulsed DSR signal with Clear to Send (CTS)
following Carrier Detect (CD). This option is for specialized equipment
such as automatic callback units.
Break handling. This command lets you send a break to stop data transfer without
disconnecting. This command overwrites the current status of the + EB command, and
is also overwritten by changes made by the + EB command.
&Y0
Enter on-line command mode. Returning to data mode sends break.
&Y1
Destructive, expedited.
&Y2
Nondestructive, expedited.
&Y3
Nondestructive, unexpedited; the modem sends a break -in-sequence
with data received from your computer or terminal.
If the call is under data compression, destructive breaks cause both modems to reset their data
compression tables. When transmission resumes, the modems build new tables, and the result is
temporary lower-than-normal throughput.
&Zn=s
Store up to 5 numbers in NVRAM, where n is the position 0-4 in NVRAM, and s is the
phone number string. The number string may be up to 36 characters long, including
any Dial command options.
Example: AT&Z2=555-6789
In the following example, &M0 (no error control) is inserted before the Dial
command. Example: AT&M0 DS2
This command functions differently when Dial Security is enabled.
Also, do not include modem settings in the &Zn string. If the call requires a special setting, insert it
in the command string before the DSn command.
Disable Account, Dialback, and New Number fields in accounts 0 -4.
%Fn
Remotely configure another device’s data format.
%F0
No parity, 8 data bits.
%F1
Mark parity, 7 data bits.
%F2
Odd parity, 7 data bits.
%F3

Your Courier Lite 56K Business Modem provides Group III -compatibility when controlled by Class 1 or
Class 2.0 fax software. In addition, your Courier Lite 56K Business Modem adheres to the following
standards:
Some computer/terminal equipment supports only a few of your modem’s EIA-232 signals. The
minimum required for your modem to operate asynchrono usly follows:
Flow Control Requirements
If your computer and software support Clear to Send and you wish to use Transmit Data hardware
flow control (&H1), Pin 5 (DB-25) or Pin 8 (DB-9) is required.
If your computer and software support Request to Send and you wish to use Received Data hardware
flow control (&R2), Pin 4 (DB -25) or Pin 7 (DB-9) is required.
In addition to the standard Class 2.0 fax commands, U.S. Robotics implements the following optional
Class 2.0 fax commands:
Fax Mode Flow Control Setting
Many facsimile software products use software flow control when the modem is in Fax mode.
Throughout our documentation, we recommend that you use hardware flow control for Data mode
(factory setting). However, to allow compatibility with software products that use software flow
control by default, U.S. Robotics fax modems automatically change to software flow control when
entering Fax mode.
FCC Notice
FCC part 68, rules regarding fax operation, has been amended as follows:
Telephone facsimile machines identification of the sender of the message: It shall be unlawful for any
person within the United States to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message
via a telephone facsimile machine unless such a message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or
bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent
and an identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message and the
telephone number of the sending machine or of such business, other entity, or individual. Telephone
facsimile machines manufactured on and after December 20, 1992 must clearly mark such identif ying
information on each transmitted page.
