Introduction
The Westermo TD-22 is an industrialised dial and leased line modem. This modem has been developed to be used in industrial applications and has some features you would not expect to find on a normal modem.
Terminal data rates of up to 19.2 kbit/sec can be handled using data compression and error correction. Direct mode connections with the maximum line modulation speed of 2,400 bit/sec can be made.
Lease line 2 and 4 wire connections can be made as well as multidrop half duplex V.23 connections. The modem can also be used on ordinary twisted pair cables to provide long distance asynchronous communications.
A watchdog facility continually monitors the power supply and internal hardware as well as the operational software. In the event of a problem the modem automatically resets. This feature has been included to make the unit more suitable for use in unmanned locations.
The TD-22 is available in two standard versions for power supply by 230VAC or 12-36VDC. Special 115VAC and 36-55VDC models are also available on request.
Westermo have implemented commands often left out of standard modems like &D to allow hardware controlled dial out on receipt of a hardware signal and &A to prevent aborts on connection when extra characters are received.
The TD-22 can handle 11 data bits and has a special 2 stop bit mode to allow the unit to be used in applications many modems can’t handle.
The TD-22 has been designed with the engineer in mind, hence the extensive information on the command set, S registers, DIP switched and error codes. We have endeavoured to include all necessary information however if you need more please do not hesitate to call us.
Safety
This equipment should only be installed by professional service personnel. If the unit is intended for permanent connection to mains supply, there should be a readily accessible disconnect device (circuit breaker) incorporated into the fixed wiring.
All ports on this equipment are designed for connection to TNV circuits. The mains connection is classified as excessive voltage Description of the above classifications are given in EN60950:1992.

The TD-22 is delivered with a factory setting for ”hardware hand­shake” with RTS-CTS which means that if only TX, RX and GND are connected no data will be sent on the receiving modem’s RS-232 connection unless RTS is high. The problem can be solved by placing a jumper between RTS (screw terminal no 6) and for example DSR (screw terminal no 2) or by disabling the handshake with the command AT&K0.

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. Acommand 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 Aand 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 008) in the command string are ignored. The default terminator is the ASCII <CR> character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored. The command line interpretation begins upon receipt of the carriage return character. Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with associated parameter values. The basic commands consist of single ASCII characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character e.g., & or % or \ or ) followed by a decimal parameter. Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
The modem supports the editing of command lines by recognising a backspace character. When modem echo is enabled, the modem responds to receipt of a backspace or delete by echoing a backspace character, a space character, and another backspace. The hex value to be used for the backspace character is programmable through register S5. Values equal to 0 or greater than 127, or the value which corresponds to the carriage return character, cannot be used for the backspace character. This editing is not applicable to the AT header of a command. Acommand line may be aborted at any time by entering < ctrl-x > (18h). The AT sequence may be followed by any number of commands in sequence, except for commands such as Z, D, or A. Commands following commands Z, D, or A on the same command line will be ignored. The maximum number of characters on any command line is 39 (including ”A” and ”T”). If a syntax error is found anywhere in a command line command, the remainder of the line will be ignored and the ERROR result code will be returned. Most commands entered with parameters out of range will not be accepted and the ERROR response will be returned to the DTE.
Commands will only be accepted by the modem once the previous command has been fully executed, which is normally indicated by the return of an appropriate result code. Execution of commands D and A, either as a result of a direct command or a re-execute command, will be aborted if another character is entered before completion of the handshake.
When the modem has established a connection and has entered on-line data mode, it is possible to break into the data transmission in order to issue further commands to the modem in an on-line command mode. This is achieved by the DTE sending to the modem a sequence of three ASCII characters specified by register S2. The default character is ‘+’. The timing of the three characters must comply with specific time constraints. There is a guard time before the first character (the pre­sequence time), a guard time following the third character (the post-sequence time), and a guard time-out between the first and second characters and between the second and third characters (the inter-character time). These times are controlled by the value recorded in register S12.
136177-2203
AT COMMAND SET
The modem will respond to the commands detailed below. Parameters applicable to each command are listed with the command description.
A/ – Re-execute Command
The modem behaves as though the last command line had been re-sent by the DTE. ”A/” will repeat all the commands in the command buffer. The principal application of this command is to place another call (using the Dial command) that failed to connect due to a busy line, no answer, or a wrong number. This command must appear alone on a command line. This command should not be terminated by a carriage return.
A – Answer
The modem will go off-hook and attempt to answer an incoming call if correct conditions are met. Upon successful completion of answer handshake, the modem will go on-line in answer mode. This command may be affected by the state of Line Current Sense, if enabled. (Most countries do not require Line Current Sense.) Operation is also dependent upon country-specific requirements.
Please also refer to ATDn, S0, S1, S7, S8, S9 and S30.
\An – Select Maximum MNP Block Size
The modem will operate an MNP error corrected link using a maximum block size controlled by the parameter supplied. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S40 bits 6 and 7.
\A0 64 characters. \A1 128 characters. \A2 192 characters. (Default.) \A3 256 characters.
Please also refer to AT\N
&An – Dial Abort Option
The modem normally aborts the connection negotiation if a character is received from DTE during the connection phase. This command give the user the option to let the modem ignore incoming characters.
&A0 Enable abort. (Default.) &A1 Disable abort.
Please also refer to AT&D
Bn – CCITT or Bell
When the modem is configured to allow either option, the modem will select Bell (American standard) or CCITT (European standard) modulation for a line speed connection of 300 or 1200 bps according to the parameter supplied. Any other line speed will use a CCITT modulation standard.
B0 Selects CCITT operation at 300 or 1200 bps. (Default.) B1 Selects BELL operation at 300 or 1200 bps
Please also refer to ATFn, S27
14 6177-2203
&Bn – DTR Dial Option
This command interprets the OFF to ON transition of the DTR signal from the DTE to enable the
modem to dial the telephone number stored with ATZ0=...... The parameter value, if valid, is written
to S27 bits 7. &B0 No action. (Default.)
&B1 Dial on OFF to ON transition of the DTR signal.
Please also refer to AT&Z and AT&D.
\Bn – Transmit Break to Remote
In non-error correction mode, the modem will transmit a break signal to the remote modem with a length in multiples of 100 ms according to parameter specified. If a number in excess of 9 is entered, 9 is used. The command works in conjunction with the \K command. In error correction mode, the modem will signal a break through the active error correction protocol, giving no indication of the length.
\B1-\B9 Break length in 100 ms units. (Default = 3.)
Note: When the modem receives a break from the remote modem, break is passed to the DTE as follows: In non-error correction mode direct, the break length is passed; in non-error correction mode normal and in error correction mode, a 300 ms break is passed.
&Cn – DCD Option
The modem controls the DCD output in accordance with the parameter supplied. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S21 bit 5. On leased line DCD always follows the state of the carrier.
&C0 DCD remains ON at all times. (Default.) &C1 DCD follows the state of the carrier.
%C – Enable/Disable Data Compression
Enables or disables data compression negotiation. The modem can only perform data compression on an error corrected link. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S41 bits 0, 1 and S46 bit 1.
%C0 Disables data compression. %C1 Enables MNP 5 data compression negotiation. %C2 Enables V.42 bis data compression. %C3 Enables both V.42 bis and MNP 5 data compression. (Default)
Please also refer to AT\Nn.
*Cn – Password for remote control
This command directs the modem to ask for a password, ”ENTER PASSWORD”. In order to execute remote configuration the calling modem will have to present the password before making any editing. The password must consist of between 6 and 12 letters. The default setting is ”QWERTY”. This command is available only for MNP connections.
Please also refer to AT\Nn, AT*E and AT*R. Not available in remote programming mode (AT*R)
156177-2203
Dn – Dial
This command directs the modem to go on-line, dial according to the string entered and attempt to establish a connection. If no dial string is supplied, the modem will go on-line and attempt the handshake in originate mode. Dial Modifiers.
The valid dial string parameters are described below.
0-9 DTMF digits 0 to 9. * The 'star' digit (tone dialling only). # The 'gate' digit (tone dialling only). A-D DTMF digits A, B, C, and D. Some countries may prohibit sending of these digits
during dialling.
J Perform MNP 10 link negotiation at the highest supported speed (for this call only).
(also refer to AT*H)
K Enable power level adjustment during MNP 10 link negotiation (for this call only).
(also refer to ATMn)
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 dialling. In most countries is this not available T Select tone dialling (DTMF) tone dialling is normally used in this modem. S=n Dial the number stored in the directory (n = 0 to 3 or 0 to 19 depending on the modem
model). (See &Z.) W Wait for dial tone: the modem will wait for dial tone before dialling the digits
following ”W”. If dial tone is not detected within the time specified by S6 the modem
will abort the rest of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message. , Dial pause: the modem will pause for a time specified by S8 before dialling 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. (-),<space> Ignored: may be used to format the dial string.
If the ATD.. command returns ERROR the ATX0 is probably set in a country that does not allow blind dialling.
Please also refer to ATA, ATX, AT&Z, S6, S7, S8, S9, S30.
16 6177-2203
&Dn – DTR Option

*E – Exit Remote configuration mode
Upon receipt of this command from the telephone line, the modem will exit remote configuration mode and transmit the OK result code to the line.Please also refer to S202.
Fn – Select Line Modulation
This command selects the line modulation according to the parameter supplied. The line modulation is fixed unless Automode is selected. This command interacts with the S37 and the N command. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S37 bits 0-4. To select line modulation it is recommended that either the F command, or a combination of the S37 and the N command are used but not both.
F0 Selects auto-detect mode. Sets N1 and sets S31 bit 1. In this mode, the modem
configures for Automode operation. All connect speeds supported by the modem are
possible according to the remote modem's preference. The contents of S37 are ignored
as is the sensed DTE speed. F1 Selects V.21 or Bell 103 according to the B setting as the only acceptable line speed
resulting in a subsequent connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 1, and clears S31 bit 1.
This command is equivalent to the command string: ATN0S37=1. F2 Not supported. F3 Selects V.23 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection.
Originator is at 75 bps and answer is at 1200 bps. Sets N0, sets S37 to 7, and clears
S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the command string: ATN0S37=7. F4 Selects V.22 1200 or Bell 212A according to the B command setting as the only
acceptable line speed for a subsequent connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 5, and clears
S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the command string: ATN0S37=5. F5 Selects V.22 bis as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection.
Sets N0, sets S37 to 6, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent to the
command string: ATN0S37=6.

%F1 Selects 75Tx/1200Rx. resets S28 bits 1 and 2. (Default.) %F2 Selects 1200Tx/75Rx. resets S28 bits 1 and resets S28 bit 2. %F3 Selects 1200Tx/1200Rx. half duplex.
Please also refer to ATF, ATN, AT\W, S28, S37
\F – display telephone directory
The modem displays the telephone directory entries which were stored with the &Z command.
Please also refer to AT&Z, ATD
&Gn – Select Guard Tone
The modem generates the guard tone selected by this command according to the parameter supplied (DPSK modulation modes only). The parameter value, if valid, is written to S23 bits 6 and 7.
&G0 Disables guard tone. (Default.) &G1 Disables guard tone. &G2 Selects 1800 Hz guard tone.
This command may not be permitted in some countries.
\Gn – Modem-to-Modem Flow Control (XON/XOFF)
In non-error correction mode, the modem enables or disables the generation or recognition of modem-to-modem XON/XOFF flow control according to the parameter supplied. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S41 bit 3. In error correction mode, the setting of modem-to-modem XON/XOFF flow control is ignored. However, the serial port flow control settings (AT&K) remain active during a reliable link. Due to the buffering system used in the modem, modem-to-modem flow control is normally disabled.
\G0 Disables modem-to-modem XON/XOFF flow control. (Default.) \G1 Enables modem-to-modem XON/XOFF flow control.
Please also refer to AT&K, S41
196177-2203
Hn – Disconnect (hang up)
This command initiates a hang up sequence. This command may not be available for some countries due to PTT restrictions.
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. The modem will
return on-hook after a period of time determined by S7.
Please also refer to S7. Not available in remote programming mode (AT*R).
*Hn – MNP10 connection speed
This command controls the line speed at initial hook-up between two MNP10 modems. The value is stored in register S40, bit 2.

Please also refer to ATL
236177-2203
&Mn – Asynchronous/Synchronous Mode Selection
This command determines the DTR operating mode. The modem treats the &M command as a subset of the &Q command.
&M0 Selects direct asynchronous operation. Note that the command sequence &M0\N0
selects normal buffered mode, but the command sequence \N0&M0 selects direct mode. This is because the \N0 command is analogous to the &Q6 command. The value 000b is written in the S27 bits 3, 1 and 0 respectively. (See &Q)
&M1 Selects synchronous connect mode with asynchronous off-line command mode.
The value 001b is written to S27 bits 3,1, and 0, respectively.
&M2 Selects synchronous connect mode with asynchronous off-line command mode. same
as &M1 except that &M2 enables DTR dialling of direct slot 0. The modem will disconnect if DTR is OFF for more than the period in S25 (in units of hundredths of a second) the data connection will be synchronous. The value 010b is written to S27 bits 3,1 and 0 respectively.
&M3 Selects synchronous connect mode. This mode allows DTR to act as a voice/data
switch. The call is manually initiated while DTR is inactive. When DTR becomes active, the handshake proceeds in originate or answer mode according to S14 bit 7. The value 011b is written to S27 bits 3,1 and 0 respectively.

)M0 Disables power level adjustment during MNP10 link negotiation. (Default.) )M1 Enables power level adjustment during MNP10 link negotiation.
Please also refer to AT\N
Nn – Automode Enable
This command enables or disables Automode detection. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S31 bit 1.
N0 Automode detection is disabled. Asubsequent handshake will be conducted according
to the contents of S37 or, if S37 is zero, according to the most recently sensed DTE speed.
N1 Automode detection is enabled. Asubsequent handshake will be conducted according
to the Automode algorithm supported by the modem. This command is equivalent to F0. (Default.)
Please also refer to ATF
24 6177-2203
\Nn – Operating Mode
This command controls the preferred error correcting mode to be negotiated in a subsequent data connection. This command is affected by the OEM firmware configuration.
\N0 Selects normal speed buffered mode (disables error-correction mode). (Forces &Q6.) \N1 Selects direct mode and is equivalent to &M0, &Q0 mode of operation. (Forces &Q0.)
In this mode the serial port is directly connected to the data pump, which results in the lowest possible delay time. This is useful in i.e. the case of polled PLC systems where the response time is critical.
\N2 Selects reliable (error-correction) mode. The modem will first attempt a LAPM
connection and then an MNP connection. Failure to make a reliable connection results in the modem hanging up. (Forces &Q6, S36=4, and S48=7.)
\N3 Selects auto reliable mode. This operates the same as \N2 except failure to make a
reliable connection results in the modem falling back to the speed buffered normal mode, \N0. (Forces &Q5, S36=7, and S48=7.)
\N4 Selects LAPM error-correction mode. Failure to make an LAPM error-correction
connection results in the modem hanging up. (Forces &Q5 and S48=0.) Note: The -K1 command overrides the \N4 command.
\N5 Selects MNP error-correction mode. Failure to make an MNP error-correction
connection results in the modem hanging up. (Forces &Q5, S36=4, and S48=128.)
(Default \N3)

On – Return to On-Line Data Mode
This command determines how the modem will enter the on-line data mode. If the modem is in the on-line command mode, the enters the on-line data mode with or without a retrain. If the modem is in the off-line command mode (no connection), ERROR is reported.
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.
Please also refer to S2, S12
*P – Store Dial Back Number and Password
This command causes the modem to store a password and to store or delete a corresponding telephone number in NVRAM. The password will be used to match the supplied by a remote modem when secure access is used. The modem will use the telephone number to dial back the remote modem. The password must be between 6 and 12 characters in length. The telephone number length is 40 characters maximum. If the number to be dialled back (along with the final colon) is omitted, a password check will be performed, but no callback will occur. Up to 20 passwords/telephone number pairs may be entered.
AT*Pn: <password>:<number to be dialled back> Parameters: 0 to 19

Qn – Quiet Results Codes Control
The command enables or disables the sending of result codes to the DTE according to the parameter supplied. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S14 bit 2.
Q0 Enables result codes to the DTE. (Default.) Q1 Disables result codes to the DTE.
Please also refer to ATV, ATE
&Qn – Asynchronous/Synchronous Mode
This command is used to control the connection modes permitted. It is used in conjunction with S36 and S48. (Also, see \N.) When the &Q0 to &Q4 command is issued to select the mode, the subsequent connect message will report the DCE speed regardless of the W command and S95 settings.
&Q0 Selects direct asynchronous operation (&M0). &Q1 Selects synchronous operation and asynchronous commands (&M1). &Q2 Selects synchronous operation and asynchronous commands (&M2) &Q3 Selects synchronous operation with DTR as ”VOICE/DATA” switch (&M3) &Q4 Selects AutoSync operation. The value 100b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0,
respectively. AutoSync operation, when used in conjunction with the Hayes Synchronous Interface (HSI) capability in the DTE, provides synchronous communication capability from an asynchronous terminal. Starting AutoSync. Set registers S19, S20, and S25 to the desired values before selecting AutoSync operation with &Q4. After the CONNECT message is issued, the modem waits the period of time specified by S25 before examining DTR. If DTR is on, the modem enters the synchronous operating state; if DTR is off, the modem terminates the line connection and returns to the command state. Stopping AutoSync. AutoSync operation is stopped upon loss of carrier or the on-to­off transition of DTR. Loss of carrier will cause the modem to return to the command state. An on-to-off transition of DTR will cause the modem to return to the command state and either not terminate the line connection (&D1 active) or terminate the line connection (any other &Dn command active).
&Q5 The modem will try to negotiate an error-corrected link. The modem can be configured
using S36 to determine whether a failure will result in the modem returning on-hook or will result in fallback to an connection. The value 101b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively. (Default.)
&Q6 Selects asynchronous operation in normal mode (speed buffering). The value 110b is
written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively.
%Q – Line Signal Quality
Reports the line signal quality at V.22 and V.22bis. Returns the higher order byte of the EQM value. Based on the EQM value, retrain or fallback/fall forward may be initiated if enabled by %E1. A low value is good.
Please also refer to AT%L
26 6177-2203
&Rn – RTS/CTS Option
This selects how the modem controls CTS. CTS operation is modified if hardware flow control is selected (see &K command). The parameter value, if valid, is written to S21 bit 2.
&R0 In Synchronous mode the CTS signals follows the status of RTS. The delay between
RTS and CTS is set in register S26. In asynchronous mode the CTS acts according to V.25 bis handshake.
&R1 In synchronous mode CTS is always high. In asynchronous mode CTS will only drop if
required by flow control. (Default.)
*R – Request Remote Configuration Mode
This command from the DTE requests the local modem attempt to place the remote modem in remote configuration mode. The command will only be accepted if the local modem is in on-line command state during an MNP error corrected link. Enter the password (from 6 to 12 characters in length) after the REMOTE PASSWORD prompt is displayed by the local DTE. The entered password is inserted in a remote configuration request (a special MNP frame) and is sent to the remote modem. Following a successful request, indicated by the display of the !AT prompt by the local DTE, the local DTE may send commands to the remote modem. These commands, a subset of the normal commands available, should be entered without the ”AT” header. Some commands are prohibited and others may produce unpredictable results. To exit the remote configuration mode, enter the *E command or the escape sequence defined by register S202. The default password is QWERTY.
Please also refer to AT*C, AT*E, AT/N and S202.
Sn – Read/Write S-Register
The modem selects an S-Register, performs an S-Register read or write function, or reports the value of an S-Register.
n Establishes S-Register n as the last register accessed. n=v Sets S-Register n to the value v. n? Reports the value of S-Register n.
The parameter n can be omitted, in which case the last S-Register accessed will be assumed. The S can be omitted for AT= and AT?, in which case the last S-Register accessed will be assumed.
For example:
ATS7 establishes S7 as the last accessed register. AT=40 sets the contents of the last register accessed to 40. AT? returns the content of the default register. ATS=20 sets the contents of the last register accessed to 20. ATS6=30 sets the content of register S6 to 30. ATS2? returns the content of register S2
Please also refer to the S-register section later in this manual.
276177-2203
&Sn – DSR Override
This command selects how the modem will control DSR. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S21 bit 6.
&S0 DSR will remain ON at all times. (Default.) &S1 DSR will become active after answer tone has been detected and inactive after the
carrier has been lost.

&Tn – Test and Diagnostics
The modem will perform selected test and diagnostic functions according to the parameter supplied. A test can be run only when in an asynchronous operation in non-error-correction mode (normal or direct mode). To terminate a test in progress, the escape sequence must be entered first, except for parameters 7 and 8 (see Section 3.1.3). If S18 is non-zero, a test will terminate automatically after the time specified by S18 and display the OK message.
&T0 Terminates test in progress. Clears S16. &T1 Initiates local analogue loopback, V.54 Loop 3. Sets S16 bit 0. If a connection exists
when this command is issued, the modem hangs up. The CONNECT XXXX message
is displayed upon the start of the test. &T2 Returns ERROR. &T3 Initiates local digital loopback, V.54 Loop 2. Sets S16 bit 2. If no connection exists,
ERROR is returned. Sets S16 bit 4 when the test is in progress. &T4 Enables digital loopback acknowledgement for remote request, i.e., an RDL request
from a remote modem is allowed. Sets S23 bit 0. &T5 Disables digital loopback acknowledgement for remote request, i.e., an RDL request
from a remote modem is denied. Clears S23 bit 0. (Default.) &T6 Requests a remote digital loopback (RDL), V.54 Loop 2, with self test. (In self test, a
test pattern is looped back and checked by the modem.) If no connection exists,
ERROR is returned. When the test is terminated, due to the time setting according to
S18 has passed or due to the execution of the &T0 or H command, the modem will
report the number of errors occurred. S16 bit 6 will be set at the start of the test
sequence. &T7 Initiates local analogue loopback, V.54 Loop 3, with self test as in &T6 above. If a
connection exists, the modem hangs up before the test is initiated. When the test is
terminated either via expiration of S18, or via the &T0 or H command, the number of
detected errors is reported to the DTE. Sets S16 bit 6 when the test is in progress.

S-REGISTERS
Below follows a description of the S-registers and its different components. Note that some parameters can not be changed due to local PTT-regulations in different countries. Where nothing else is stated the registers are stored by using the AT&W command. Some registers are read only registers and can not be changed from the DTE.
S0 – Number of Rings to Auto-Answer
Sets the number of the rings required before the modem automatically answers a call. Zero disables auto-answer mode. Default 2 {0..255} Affected by country setting. Please also refer to S1.
S1 – Ring Counter (Read only register) Incremented each time the modem detects a ring signal. Cleared if no rings occur after a short period of time. Please also refer to S0.
S2 – Escape Character
S2 holds the decimal value of the ASCII character used as the escape character. The default value corresponds to an ASCII '+'. A value over 127 disables the escape process, i.e., no escape character will be recognised. Default 43 (+) {0..255} ASCII decimal.
S3 – Carriage Return Character (Not stored with the AT&W command!)
Sets the command line and result code terminator character.. Default: 13 (Carriage Return) {0..127} ASCII decimal.
S4 – Line Feed Character (Not stored with the AT&W command!)
Sets the character recognised as a line feed. Default 10 (Line Feed) {0..27} ASCII decimal.
S5 – Backspace Character (Not stored with the AT&W command!)
Sets the character recognised as a backspace. The modem will not recognise the Backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32. Default 8 (Backspace) {0..32} ASCII decimal.

When register S10 is set to 255, the modem functions as if a carrier were 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 recognises the carrier. Default 14 (1.4 seconds) {1-255} tenths of a second.
S11 – DTMFtone time (Only for USA) The time a DTMF tone will be activated during dialling. Default 95 {50..255} thousands of a second.

To use multidrop V23 in half duplex
Multidrop connection is possible only when the modem is set for V23 half duplex. This allows a maximum line transmission speed to 1200 baud. The speed at the serial port can however be higher.
The carrier (the transmission) is activated with the RTS signal in the RS-232 interface and the
carrier remains high until the transmission buffer is empty. The actual number of modems that can be multidropped depends on the line quality and the range is
dependant on the number of attached devices. V23 half duplex is achieved by switching ON SW1:2 and SW5:2 and switching OFF the rest of SW1
and SW5.
Frequently used settings for PLC-systems and industrial applications.
Most PLC-systems and other industrial applications require the same changes to the standard settings.
The most commonly encountered problems concern speed, parity and control signals from the connected equipment.
Speed and parity are changed with the switches under the cover in block SW4. If this action does not solve the problem the modem’s answering codes and possible echoing of commands might be the source of the difficulty. Here below follows a list of commands that might resolve the problems. (The commands may of course be placed on one single command line if desired, as per the example1):
ATV0 Gives the answering codes in short format. (digits) ATQ1 No result codes are sent on the RS-232 connection. ATE0 Commands that are sent from the terminal/computer etc. are not echoed back
to the RS-232 connection. AT&C1 DCD will follow the carrier on the line. AT&K0 No handshaking. AT&A1 Character abort option on.
For further information regarding these commands please refer to the specific section of this manual.
44 6177-2203
456177-2203
Dial up with hardware signalling
Dial-up can be made by applying an external signal to the DTR-pin in the RS-232 contact. Atypical application is an alarm signal from a PLC.
The modem reacts on the first rising edge which means that one pulse is sufficient. The signal-level should be in compliance with the RS-232 standard. If only a relay contact is available the DSR-pin will provide a suitable voltage.
The modem does not have a redialling function. If necessary this must be handled by other equipment connected. We advise the DCD signal to be used as a control indicating whether connection was made or not.
AT&B1 Dial-up using DTR. AT&D3 Hang-up if DTR goes low. AT&Z0=nn The number to dial, nn, is stored in memory position 0.
Please also refer to “To use minicall”, as the minicall and the dial-up with hardware signalling can be used together.
External signal
Leased line applications
Leased line connections can be done using either 2-wire or 4-wire.
When renting a 4-wire line from a telephone company one pair of cables for transmission and one pair for reception are usually provided.
The maximum transmission distance depends on the attenuation of the line. To have a good error rate it is recommended to keep the attenuation under 20 dB, which is approximately 20 km in distance. When renting lines from a telephone company a longer transmission distance is normally possible as the signals are probably transmitted over PCM-lines, i.e. fibre optic or other media with low attenuation.
The best way to set the modem for leased line applications is to use the dip switches.
The settings should be as follows:
SW1:1 and 2 in modem no 1 ON and only SW1:2 in modem no 2 ON. SW3:1 shall be ON for 2-wire and OFF for 4-wire. SW3:3 shall be ON. Sets error correction and data compression OFF. SW4 sets speed and parity for the RS-232 port. SW5 decides line-speed. Must be set in direct mode applications.

Glossary
ASCII
A binary code system which defines 128 characters using different combinations of 1s and 0s. ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Asynchronous Data
transmission where the characters are transmitted one at a time, starting with a start bit and ending with a stop bit. About 90–95% of all serial data communications are asynchronous.
Baud
The number of data symbols transmitted every second. In local data communications, baud = bit/s. In telecommunication, each symbol may encode several bits.
Buffer
A memory for storing data for a short time, e.g. until the receiver is ready
Byte
A character comprising binary numbers, e.g. an ASCII character which consists of 7–8 data bits, each corresponding to an alphanumerical character.
DCE
Data Communication Equipment. Like a Modem, protocol converter or line driver.
DIN rail
Deutsche Industri Norme standard mounting for the installation of equipment in an apparatus cubicle.
DTE
Data Terminal Equipment like PC,s, terminals and printers.
Data Compression and Error Correction
V.42
CCITT’s error correction protocol incorporating LAPM. If the V.42 connection fails then MNP will be tried.
LAPM
Link Access Procedure for Modems. An error correction method used in transmissions via PTT modems.
MNP
Microcom Networking Protocol. Several methods for error correction and data compression for PTT modems. MNP 1: Asynchronous Protocol, half duplex. MNP 2: Asynchronous Protocol, full duplex, Data is divided into blocks (data rate actually slows). MNP 3: Synchronous Protocol, full duplex. Data in blocks (higher speeds with no errors). MNP 4: Similar to 3, but with smaller data blacks allowing for faster data rates with no errors. MNP 5: Level 4 with data compression, gives about double the data rate. MNP 10: Development of MNP5 with dynamic line monitoring and block size adjustment, used on
very bad lines.
ARQ
Automatic Repeat reQuest. When incorrect data is detected a modem a request to retransmit the data is made to the remote modem.
48 6177-2203
V.42bis.
Data Compression technique used by modems rather than MNP5, because it offers better compression on already compressed data.
Data Rate
In modems this is often different to the baud rate. For instance the Data Rate of V.32bis is 14,400bps and the baud is 2400 symbols/second.
Direct Mode
The Data to be transmitted is sent directly to the data pump. No compression, error correction or buffering occurs, allowing the data to be transmitted across the link unaltered by the modem.
Duplex
Means that the communication is bi-directional. In half duplex, the devices take turns sending and receiving. In full duplex, sending and receiving can take place simultaneously.
Handshaking
Confirmations and status signals sent between communicating devices in order to check the data stream. There are two general types, hardware (RTS/CTS) and software (XON/XOFF). In hardware handshaking the RS232 status lines are used to control data flow, whereas with the software method characters are transmitted to control the data.
Hayes commands
A set of commands for controlling PTT modems. Often refereed to as the AT command set. Most modems support these commands however there are many variations and some modems will support commands that others can not.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode. Asemi-conductor which emits light when it receives an electrical current. Used as indicators.
Lease Line
A private point to point connection provided by a national or local telecommunication company. These can be 2 or 4 wire point to point or even in a multidrop configuration.
Modem
Acronym of the words modulator and demodulator. Modulates or transforms the signal from computer equipment into electrical signals for transmission. The receiver has a similar modem which retransforms the signal, demodulation.
Modem Modulation Standards
V.21 300bps, similar to Bell 103 V.23 1200/75 bps Split speed line V.23hdx 1200 multidrop lease line standard V.22 1200 bps full duplex V.22bis 2400 bps full duplex V.32 9600 bps full duplex V.32bis 14,400 bps full duplex

TCM
Trellis Coded Modulation. Used in the highest speed modulations.
NVRAM
Non Volatile Random Access Memory. Used by the modem to store profile information and numbers even when the unit has no power.
Normal Mode
A non error corrected connection between two modems. The data is however speed buffered.
Off Hook
Term used to describe when the modem is not connected to a telephone line.
On Hook
Term used to describe when the modem is using the telephone line.
PSTN
Public Switched Telephone Network.
Parity
A mathematically-derived bit which is added by the transmitter. The receiver checks the sum of the parity bit to detect any error in transmission.
REN Number
The REN number of the TD-22 is 1 The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of apparatus performance when used with other equipment connected to the same telephone line. The sum of the individual REN’s connected to a single line should not exceed 4.

RS232 Signals
TD
Transmitted Data. Data going from DTE to DCE.
RD
Received Data. The Data going from DCE to DTE.
RTS
Request to Send. Hardware handshake generated by the DTE to determine if the DCE is ready to receive data. Expected response is from the CTS line.
CTS
Clear To Send. Hardware handshake by DCE in response to an RTS signal.
DSR
Data Set Ready. A signal from the DCE used to say that is powered and usable.
DTR
Data Terminal Ready. A signal from the DTE showing it is powered and usable.
DCD
Data Carrier Detect. Asignal from the DCE showing that a carrier is present and a line is ready for data transmission.
Simplex
Unidirectional communication.
Start bit
Marks the start of a transmission. In asynchronous transmission each character is preceded by a start bit.
Stop bit
One or more stop bits mean that the character has been transmitted. Systems that use two stop bits can cause problems with some modems as the modem will remove the second stop bit to gain better data throughput and then not put it back.
