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.
NOTE:
If the ATD command is issued before the S1 register has cleared, the modem will respond
with the NO CARRIER result code.
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 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.

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).
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.
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 S6
(EU), the modem will abort the rest of the sequence, return on-hook, and gener-
ate 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 param-
eter. If the modem does not detect these 5 seconds of silence before the expira-
tion 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 termi-
nate the call with the BUSY result code. If answer tone arrives during execu-
tion 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 S6 (EU models), the modem
will abort the rest of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error mes-
sage.
