Congratulations on purchasing a state-of-the-art fax/modem! Your Fax/Modem
incorporates the latest technological advancement for you to electronically
communicate with other computers, information networks, fax machines or
other fax/modems. It embraces most of the industry and commercially popular
standards to ensure compatibility with most equipment and application
programs. The voice capability renders a wide range of application possibilities
from a simple telephone-answering device to a sophisticated voice-mail
system.
The USB provide a 12Mbps high bandwidth for virtually unlimited data
throughput instead of the legacy 16550 UART bottleneck with the traditional
modems. USB Modem is a very flexible modem that has one of the smallest
real estate and power consumption out on the market. Because of the
simplicity of the modem design, the time to market is quick and less overhead.
With this modem, all the future feature driver updates will be a simple software
update. The features are as follows:

AT T C Co om mm ma an nd ds s
Except for the A/ command and the +++ escape command, all commands
must be prefixed with the attention code AT. For instance, the A command
(below) would be entered as: "ATA<CR>". Without the AT prefix, the
command line cannot be executed. Once entered, AT cannot be deleted with
the Backspace or Delete key.
More than one command can be placed on a single line and, if desired,
separated with spaces for readability. Once the carriage return (Enter) key is
pressed, the command line is executed. A line with no carriage return is
ignored.
The modem accepts either upper or lower case characters in the command
line and ignores any spaces within or between commands. Typing errors can
be corrected with the Backspace key.
