AT Command Set
AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem’s operation and software configuration. AT com-
mands can only be entered while the modem is in command mode. The format for entering commands is ATXn
where X is the AT command and n is the specific value for that command.
Any command issued is acknowledged with a response in either text or numeric values. These responses are
known as result codes. The result codes are listed in Table 59.
Commands may be executed while in COMMAND mode, which is entered under one of the following conditions:
■After powerup, at the termination of a connection, or after the execution of a command other than dial or answer.
■Upon the receipt of the escape sequence (three consecutive characters matching the contents of register S2)
while in on-line mode.
■Upon the on-to-off transition of DTR if &D1, &D2, or &D3 has been set.

Escape Sequence
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line
command mode, you may communicate directly to the modem using AT commands. Use the On command to
return to data mode.
A pause, the length of which is set by the escape guard time (register S12), must be used before and after an
escape sequence is issued. This pause prevents the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The
value of the escape sequence character may be changed using register S2.
A/—Repeat Last Command
The A/ command instructs the modem to repeat the last AT command. It will repeat the command already in the
command buffer. This command does not require the AT prefix and does not have to be followed by the terminator
character. It is primarily used to redial the last number in the case of a busy signal.
A—Answer
This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call.
Bn—Communication Standard Setting
This command determines the communication standard used by the modem.
Result codes:
■OK if n = 0—3, 15, 16.
■ERROR if n ≠ 0—3, 15, 16.
Table 2. Bn Commands
Cn—Carrier Control
The modem will accept the C1 command without error in order to ensure backward compatibility with communica-
tions software that issues the C1 command. However, this modem does not support the C0 command. The C0
command may instruct some other modems not to send carrier (i.e., it puts them in receive-only mode).
Result codes:
■OK if n = 1.
■ERROR if n ≠ 1.
Command Function
B0 Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bits/s.
B1 Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bits/s (default).
B2 Deselects V.23 reverse channel (same as B3).
B3 Deselects V.23 reverse channel (same as B2).
B15 Selects V.21 when the modem is at 300 bits/s.
B16 Selects Bell 103J when the modem is at 300 bits/s (default).

Table 3. Cn Commands
Dn—Dial
This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and begin the dialing sequence. The dial string (n, including
modifiers and the telephone number) is entered after the ATD command.
A dial string can be up to sixty characters long. Any digit or symbol may be dialed as touchtone digits. Characters
such as spaces, hyphens, and parentheses are ignored by the modem and may be included in the dial string to
enhance readability.
Table 4. Dial Modifiers
En—Echo Command
This command controls whether or not the characters entered from the computer keyboard are echoed back to the
monitor while in command mode.
Result codes:
■OK if n = 0—1.
■ERROR if n ≠ 0—1.
Table 5. En Commands
Command Function
C0 Transmit carrier always off (not supported).
C1 Normal transmit carrier switching (default).
Modifier Function
L Dial the last number. This modifier is valid only if it is the first symbol of the dial string. All con-
secutive characters are discarded.
P Use pulse dialing.
T Use tone dialing (default).
W Wait for dial tone. The modem will wait for a second dial tone before processing the dial string.
V The modem switches to speakerphone mode and dials the number. The Hn command may be
used to disconnect the voice call.
, Dial pause. The modem will wait for the time specified by register S8 before continuing to dial.
! Hook flash. The modem will go on-hook for 0.5 seconds and then return to off-hook.
@ Wait for quiet answer. The modem will wait for 5 seconds of silence after dialing the number. If
silence is not detected, the modem sends a NO ANSWER result code back to the user.
; Return to command mode. This modifier instructs the modem to return to command mode
after it has finished dialing without disconnecting the call.
^ Disable data calling tone transmission.
$ Bong tone detection.
S=n Dial a telephone number previously stored using the &Zn=x command. The range is 0—2.
Command Function
E0 Disables echo command.
E1 Enables echo command (default).

Fn—On-Line Data Character Echo Command
This command determines if the modem will echo data from the DTE. The modem does not support the F0 version
of the command. However, to ensure backward compatibility, the modem will accept F1, which may be issued by
older communication software.
Result codes:
■OK if n = 1.
■ERROR if n ≠ 1.
Table 6. Fn Commands
Hn—Hook Control
This command instructs the modem to go either on-hook to disconnect a call or off-hook to make the telephone line
busy.
Result codes:
■OK if n = 0—1.
■ERROR if n ≠ 0—1.
Table 7. Hn Commands
In—Request ID Information
This command displays specific product information about the modem.
Result codes:
■As described in Table 8 if n = 0—9, 11.
■ERROR if n ≠ 0—9, 11.
Command Function
F0 On-line data character echo enabled (not supported by the modem).
F1 On-line data character echo disabled.
Command Function
H0 The modem goes on-hook (default).
H1 The modem goes off-hook.

The ATI11 command may be issued from on-line command mode or after the end of a call. After a call, some of the
values are no longer valid. The following table describes each of the results listed for the ATI11 command.
Table 9. ATI11 Command Results
Result Description
Last Connection V.90, 56K, V.34, or V.32, depending on the type of connection negotiated.
Initial Transmit Carrier Rate Initial upstream rate.
Initial Receive Carrier Rate Initial downstream rate.
Final Transmit Carrier Rate Current or final upstream rate.
Final Receive Carrier Rate Current or final downstream rate.
Protocol Negotiation Result LAPM,
MNP , or none, depending on V.42 negotiation.
Data Compression Result LAPM,
MNP , V.42bis, or none, depending on V.42 negotiation.
Estimated Noise Level Mean-square error of received downstream signal. Difference between
received constellation point and reference decision point. This is a dimen-
sionless decimal number that is only valid during a call. Higher numbers
are worse. There is no absolute threshold of goodness; it depends on the
downstream data rate. The number varies during a call, so it is useful to
sample it a few times.
Receive Signal Power Level (–dBm) The received signal power, although labeled with units of -dBm, is only a
relative measure for comparing calls to/from different locations. This
value is valid only during a call.
Transmit Signal Power Level (–dBm) Upstream transmit signal power.
Round Trip Delay (ms) Round trip delay in milliseconds.
Near Echo Level (–dBm) Echo levels are valid for V.34 only.
Far Echo Level (–dBm) Echo levels are valid for V.34 only.
Transmit Frame Count Number of LAPM frames sent upstream during this call. Count wraps
around at 65535.
Transmit Frame Error Count Number of REJ frames received at the analog client modem.
Receive Frame Count Number of LAPM frames received by the client during this call. Count
wraps around at 65535.
Receive Frame Error Count Number of frames received in error by the client.
Retrain by Local Modem Number of retrains or rate renegotiations requested by the modem.
Retrain by Remote Modem Number of retrains or rate renegotiations requested by remote modem.
Rate Renegotiation by Local Modem Number of rate renegotiations requested by the local modem.
RateRenegotiationbyRemoteModem Number of rate renegotiations requested by the remote modem.
Call Termination Cause Reason for call ending. Only valid after call ends. Result codes are as fol-
lows:
■0 = local modem command: ATH, DTR drop.
■1 = remote modem: cleardown, loss of signal.
■2 = no answer, busy, etc.
■3 = training failure V.90, K56flex, or V.34.
■4 = protocol failure if required by \N4, for example.
Robbed-Bit Signaling For PCM connection only, a hexadecimal 6-bit pattern of T1 frames with
robbed-bit signaling.
Digital Loss (dB) For PCM connection only, the downstream digital loss.
Remote Server ID For K56flex connection only, the V.8bis information sent by the server.
Meaning is defined at the server and by convention.
Last PCM S PTR Shows the lastSpointerwhen themodem isexpected to go to PCMmode.
