Appendix A. Manual modem commands
The following section lists commands for manually programming your
modem.
Commands are accepted by the modem while it is in Command Mode. Your
modem is automatically in Command Mode until you dial a number and
establish a connection. Commands may be sent to your modem from a PC
running communication software or any other terminal devices.
All commands sent to the modem must begin with AT and end with ENTER.
All commands may be typed in either upper or lower case, but not mixed. To
make the command line more readable, spaces may be inserted between
commands. If you omit a parameter from a command that requires one, it is
just like specifying a parameter of 0.
Example:
ATH [ENTER]
This command causes your modem to hang up.
