Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-Registers, and Result Codes
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. AT Commands for the MultiModem & SocketModem MT9234 Series (S000434H) 6
Chapter 1 – AT Commands, S-
Registers, and Result Codes
Introduction
The AT commands are used to control the operation of your modem. They are called AT commands
because the characters AT must precede each command to get the ATtention of the modem.
AT commands can be issued only when the modem is in command mode or online command mode.
•The modem is in command mode whenever it is not connected to another modem.
•The modem is in data mode whenever it is connected to another modem and ready to exchange
data. Online command mode is a temporary state in which you can issue commands to the
modem while connected to another modem.
•To put the modem into online command mode from data mode, you must issue an escape
sequence (+++AT) and the command, e.g., +++ATH to hang up the modem. To return to data
mode from online command mode, you must issue the command ATO.
To send AT commands to the modem you must use a communications program, such as the
HyperTerminal applet in Windows or some other available terminal program. You can issue commands to
the modem either directly, by typing them in the terminal window of the communications program, or
indirectly, by configuring the operating system or communications program to send the commands
automatically. Fortunately, communications programs make daily operation of modems effortless by
hiding the commands from the user. Most users, therefore, need to use AT commands only when
reconfiguring the modem; e.g., to turn auto answer on or off.
The format for entering an AT command is ATXn, where Xis the command and nis the specific value for
the command, sometimes called the command parameter. The value is always a number. If the value is
zero, you can omit it from the command; thus, AT&W is equivalent to AT&W0. Most commands have a
default value, which is the value that is set at the factory. The default values are shown in the “AT
Command Summary”.
You must press ENTER (it could be some other key depending on the terminal program) to send the
command to the modem. Any time the modem receives a command, it sends a response known as a
result code. The most common result codes are OK, ERROR, and the CONNECT messages that the
modem sends to the computer when it is connecting to another modem. See a table of valid result codes
at the end of this chapter.
You can issue several commands in one line, in what is called a command string. The command string
begins with AT and ends when you press ENTER. Spaces to separate the commands are optional; the
command interpreter ignores them. The most familiar command string is the initialization string, which is
used to configure the modem when it is turned on or reset, or when your communications software calls
another modem.
Note: This document applies to all the MT9234 products. However, some commands may not apply to all
MT9234 builds.

D Dial
Description: This command instructs the modem to begin the dialing sequence. The dial string,
which is made up of the telephone number and dial modifiers is entered after the D
command.
A dial string can be up to 60 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.
Syntax: ATD<dial_strings>
Dial String Values: Phone number and dial modifiers.
Dial string modifiers:
L Redial the last number. (Must be placed immediately after ATD.)
P Select pulse-dialing.
TSelect tone-dialing.
VDial using speakerphone. Instructs the modem to switch to speakerphone
mode and dial the number. Use the ATH command to disconnect the voice
call.

after it has finished dialing without disconnecting the call. This modifier must
be the last character in the dial string.
!Hook flash. Instructs the modem to go on-hook for 0.5 seconds and then
return to off-hook.
@ Wait for quiet answer. Instructs the modem to 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.
^Disable data calling tone transmission.
$Detect AT&T call card “bong” tone. The character should follow the phone
number and precede the user’s call card number:
ATDT1028806127853500$123456789
S=<location> Dial a number previously stored in the register. Instructs the modem
to dial a telephone number previously stored using the
&Z<location>=<dial_string> command. Valid storage locations are 0 to 2
(0–1 for Parallel {internal}).
Example: ATDS=2
Default: T
Result Codes: CONNECT if a connection is established and the extended result code
parameter is equal to 0. (See X<value> – Select Result Code and
