AT AND EXTENDED AT COMMAND SUMMARY
Dialing and Answering with the AT Commands Set:
This chapter describes your modem's command and communications modes and
the necessary guidelines needed to manually send commands to your modem. To
send commands to your modem, you must be running a communications program.
Because a full and complete explanation of each command would constitute a
small book, please refer to your manual for an in-depth explanation of
these commands.
Escape code: Switching from the Communications to the Command Mode
The escape code is the character sequence sent to your modem to switch it
from the communications mode to the command mode. When switching modes, the
modem does not disconnect from the phone line; It merely suspends the
transfer of information.
Wait at least 1 second without typing a character. Then type "+++" (without
the quotation marks.) Wait at least 1 second for the modem to acknowledge.
Your modem acknowledges by sending OK (or 0, if you turn off word result
codes).
The reason for the 1 second before and after wait sending the escape code is
to prevent accidentally switching modes. If you type anything within 1
second (the escape code guard time) of the escape code, your modem ignores
the escape code.
You can change the default values of the escape code and the escape code
guard time. The escape code is a single character you enter three times,
surrounded by a designated period of time.
Registers S2 and S12 hold the values for the escape code and guard time,
respectively. To change the default values, type "ATS2=X" or "ATS12=Y"
where "X" is the ASCII code for the character you want for the escape code
and "Y" represents the desired guard time in 1/50 second increments.
When you want to return to the Data Mode, type AT 0 or AT 01 and press the
Enter key. If you want to hang up, type ATH and press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT! Your FAX/MODEM also hangs up if the &D2 command is in effect and
it detects an ON-to-OFF transition on the Data Terminal Ready interchange
circuit.
Command Syntax:
This section describes the various elements that make up all modem commands.
Attention:
All commands must begin with the letters AT (short for "Attention") and
your modem uses these letters to automatically set the baud rate and the
parity. You can enter AT and all other commands in either upper or lower
case.

Line Length Limits:
You can type one or more commands after the AT. Your modem performs the
commands in the order given. The number of commands you can give at one time
is limited by the line length, which cannot exceed 33 characters. Your modem
does not count control characters and spaces, but it does count punctuation
marks such as dashes or commas. <ENTER> denotes a carriage return. This ends
the command; your modem does not process the command until it sees the
<ENTER>.
Line Editing:
After you enter a command (before you press <ENTER>) you can edit the
command using the backspace key to delete the last character you entered.
Note: If you backspace over a space, your modem ignores the space and erases
the next character. In this case, your computer does not display the command
properly.
Parameters:
Most commands consist of a single letter followed by a single-digit
parameter, or option. If you do not follow the command with a parameter,
the modem assumes a parameter of 0.
Example Command:
The following are two examples of valid modem commands.
AT X4 V1 DT [phone] <ENTER>
ATX4V1DT4085553438 <ENTER>
Note that you do not need to enter any spaces. But, spaces make the command
easier to read (although, as noted above, harder to edit).
Command Results:
After you enter the command <ENTER>, your modem executes the command line
and returns a result code after every operation. Your modem can express this
result code as a word or a number. Also, you can select which result codes
your modem uses, and even turn result codes on and off. The V, X, and Q
commands control these options, and are discussed in further detail in the
fax/modem manual.
The ten result codes and their meanings are given in the chart below.
