i -1 FCC General Information

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States restricts specific uses of modems,

and places registration responsibilities on both the manufacturer and the individual user:

1. The modem may not be connected to a party line or to a coin operated telephone.

2. The modem manufacturer must make any repairs to the modem to maintain valid FCC registration.

3. Notification to the telephone company is no longer required prior to connecting registered equipment,

but upon request from the telephone company, the user shall tell the telephone company which line the

equipment is connected to as well as the registration number and ringer equivalence number of the

registered protective circuitry. FCC information is printed on a label on the bottom of the modem.

i - 3 DOC Notice

Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This

certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational

and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's

satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of

the local Telecommunications Company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method

of connection. In some cases, the companies inside wiring associated with a single line individual service

may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer

should be aware that compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in

some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated

by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,

may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,

telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution

may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate

electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage or the total load to be

connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a

loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load

Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.

Note: Locate an analog telephone line. Many offices have digital telephone lines, which will not

work with a modem.

Warning: Do not connect your modem to a digital telephone line. Modems are designed for use only

with analog telephone lines; connecting to a digital telephone line may damage the modem.

Verify that the line is analog before connecting.

Fax machines use analog telephone lines. If you can't find an analog voice line, find a fax machine

and use its line.

1 - INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding Fax/Data Modem. This manual describes how to

operate your new Fax/Data Modem.

Instructions for installing your Fax/Data Modem will be found in the Installation Manual, while the

information in this manual, deals exclusively with the operation of the modem after it is installed, such as

the command set, the internal configuration registers, troubleshooting and testing.

Features:

These Fax/Data Modems combine the features of a 56000(receive only)/33600/28800/14400/9600 bps data

modem and a 14400/9600 bps FAX modem. Your new Fax/Data Modem gives your personal computer the

ability to send and receive FAX messages over the telephone line like a standard FAX machine. Your

Fax/Data Modem also allows your PC to communicate with other personal computers, terminals or BBS's

(Bulletin Board Systems) through the data modem functions.

When used as a data modem your Fax/Data Modem uses the standard AT command set and is fully

compatible with ITU-T V.42, V.42bis, V.34 (ANNEX 12), V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.23, V.22, V.21,

MNP 2-5, Bell 103, 212A, K56flex and/or V.90. When used as a Fax/Data Modem it communicates with

all ITU-T Group 3 FAX machines and is compatible with ITU-T V.27ter and V.29, V.17, T.4 and T.30.

Switching between DATA mode operation and FAX mode operation of your Fax/Data Modem is done

through its firmware, no hardware settings are required.

If you are already familiar with the use of a modem and the Hayes AT command set, this modem will be

extremely easy for you to use. Just read the installation procedures in the installation manual and you are

ready to begin operation. If you are new to modem communications, we recommend that you read through

this manual first. If you come across terms that you don't understand, consult the glossary. Words in

boldface type are command names, commands, or default settings. Carriage returns (Enter) are noted with

<CR> or [ENTER]; this does not mean to enter these characters literally; but instead to press the Enter key.

The communication software, which should be used, depends on the kind of machine that you are going to

communicate with. If you are going to call a FAX machine then you must use the Fax software. If the

machine that you are going to communicate with is a modem then you must use a data modem

communications software.

Note: This manual is written to be used for several models of Fax/Data Modems. Some of the

information in this manual may not apply to your fax/data modem.

All the description in this manual about Caller ID, V.90 and Fax class 2 applies only to the models

which support these functions.

2 - COMMAND REFERENCE

This chapter provides an alphabetized reference with examples for all commands for the modem. The

system of commands is depicted below in Figure 2-1.

To use these commands for dialing or configuring the modem, make sure the communications software

package you will be using lets you operate the modem through its internal commands. If your software

permits use of the modem's internal commands, read this chapter. If not, read your software user's manual

and ignore the rest of this manual.

2-1 General Command Information

Except for the A/ command and the +++ escape command described in Section 2.4, all commands must be

prefixed with the attention code AT. For instance, the A command (below) would be entered as: "AT

A<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. Exceptions are

noted in the description of specific commands.

Variables (r and x) are listed in Italics. Punctuation symbols (, ; ! @) use as dial modifiers are listed

alphabetically according to their English names at the beginning of Section 2.3. Where two commands are

separated by a slash, either command will have the same effect. For example, if the command is listed as

B0/B, issuing either B0 or B will have the same effect.

2-2 AT Commands

A Go On-line in Answer Mode

This command instructs the modem to go off-hook immediately and then make a handshake with the remote

modem. Handshaking is not available during leased line operation.

A is usually used to manually answer an incoming call or to switch from voice conversation to data

communication.

Bn Select Protocol to 300 bps or 1200 bps

B0/B Selects ITU-T 300 or ITU-T 1200 protocol once the command line prefix AT has been

entered at the 300 bps or 1200 bps data rate.

B1 Selects BELL 300 or BELL 212A protocol once the command line prefix AT has been

entered at the 300 or 1200 bps data rate. (Default)

Cn Carrier Transmit Control

Controls the transmit carrier. The modem is preset to turn carrier on and off as necessary (the C1 option).

The signal is on when the modem is calling, or connected to a remote modem, and is off when it is not. The

C0 option is NOT valid.

C0 Not permitted; returns ERROR result code.

C1 Normal transmits carrier switching (preset).

D Go On-line in Originate Mode

D instructs the modem to go off-hook immediately and automatically dial the number contained in the dial

string following D. The dial string may contain any of the dial modifiers contained in the following section.

The D command without a dial string is usually used to switch from voice conversation to data

communication or to call a remote modem in leased-line operation mode.

&Qn Asynchronous Mode Selection

This command is an extension of the &M command and is used to control the connection modes permitted.

It is used in conjunction with S36 and S48.

&Q0 Select direct asynchronous operation. The value 000b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0

respectively.

&Q5 The modem will try to negotiate an error-corrected link. The modem can be configured

using S36 to determine whether a failure will result in the modem returning on-hook or

will result in fallback to an asynchronous connection. The value 101b is written to S27

bits 3, 1, and 0 respectively. (Default)

&Q6 Select asynchronous operation in normal mode (speed buffering). The value 110b is

written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0 respectively.

&Sn DSR Option

Determines whether DSR operates in accordance with the EIA-232-D specification or remains ON

&S0 DSR is always ON. (Default)

&S1 DSR will become active after answer tone has been detected and inactive after the carrier

has been lost.

&Tn Testing and Diagnostics (See Chapter 4)

Testing commands must be initiated in command mode (at the end of the command line) with asynchronous

operation in the Direct mode, selected (&Q0) at a speed of 1200 bps or faster. A telco connection must be

established prior to loopback tests. If these conditions are not met, an ERROR result code is issued. If a

local analog loopback is initiated while the modem is connected, the modem disconnects beforeperforming

the test. A test remains active for the period of time specified in register S18. If S18 is zero, the test aborts

when the user issues the &T0 command.

&T0/&T Terminates any test currently in progress.

&T1 Initiates a local analog loopback in accordance with ITU-T V.54, L3; verifies the path

between the local DTE and the local modem.

&T8 Initiates a local analog loopback with self-test in accordance with ITU-T V.54, L2.

ERROR Otherwise.

\Bn Transmit Break to Remote

In non-error correction mode, the modem will transmit a break signal to the remote modem with a length in

multiples of 100ms according to parameter specified. If a number in excess of 9 is entered, 9 is used. The

command works in conjunction with the \K command.

In error correction mode, the modem will signal a break through the active error correction protocol, giving

no indication of the length.

\B1-\B9 Break length in 100ms units. (Default=3)

(Non-error corrected mode only.)

Result Codes:

OK If connected in data modem mode.

NO CARRIER If not connected or connected in fax modem mode.

Note: When the modem receives a break from the remote modem, break is passed to the DTE as follows: In

non-error correction mode direct, the break length is passed; in non-error correction mode normal and in

error correction mode, a 300 ms break is passed.

\Gn Modem to Modem Flow Control (XON/XOFF)

Enables or disables modem flow control during a Normal Mode connection. Since

Reliable Mode has its own method of flow control, the \Gn command is ignored when error correction is

selected. However, DTE-to-modem flow control remains active during reliable link.

\G0 Disable flow control. (Default)

\G1 Enable flow control.

\Kn Break Control

Determines the modem's response when a BREAK is received from the DTE or the remote modem,

according to the following conditions:

When a BREAK is received from the DTE during Normal or MNP Mode:

\K0,2,4 Modem enters Command Mode (waiting for an AT command) without sending a BREAK

to the remote modem.

\K1 Modem clears the terminal and modem buffers.

\K3 Modem does not clear the buffers.

\K5 Modem sends a BREAK to the remote modem in sequence with any transmitted data.

(Default)

ERROR Otherwise.

2.2.d Commands Preceded by +

+MS Select Modulation

This extended-format command selects the modulation and, optionally, enables or disables automode,

specifies the lowest and highest connection rates, selects u-Low or A-Low codec type, and enables or

disables robbed bit signaling generation (server modem) or detection (client modem) using one to five

subparameters. The command format is:

+MS=<mod> [,[<automode>][,[<min_rate>][,[<max_rate>][,[<x_law>][,[<rb_signaling>]]]]]]<CR>

Notes:

1. For 14400 bps and lower speeds, the Nn command and S37 register can alternatively be used, in

which case the +MS subparameters will modified to reflect the Nn and S37=x settings. Use of the Nn

and S37=x commands is not recommended but is provided for compatibility with existing

communication software. (S37 is not updated by the +MS command.)

2. Subparameters not entered (enter a comma only or <CR> to skip the last subparameter) remain at

their current values.

Reporting Selected Options

The modem can send a string of onformation to the DTE consisting of selected options using the following

command:

+MS?

The response is:

+MS: <mod>,<automode>,<min_rate>,<max_rate>,<x_law>,<rb_signaling>

For example,

K56flex: +MS: 56,1,300,56000,0,0

V.90: +MS: 12,1,300,56000,0,0,33600 (RC56 default values)

Reporting Supported Options

The modem can send a string of information to the DTE consisting of supported options using the following

command:

+MS=?

Notes: 1. See optional <automode>, <min_rate>, and <max_rate> subparameters.

2. For V.23, originating modes transmit at 75 bps and receive at 1200 bps; answering modes transmit at

1200 bps and receive at 75 bps. The rate is always specified as 1200 bps.

The modem may also automatically switch to another modulation (automode), subject to the following

constraints:

a. The modem may not be able to automatically switch from the current modulation (specified by

<mod>) to some other modulation. For example there is no standard way to automode from Bell

103 to V.23.

b. The DTE may disable automode operation (see <automode> below).

c. The DTE may constrain the range of modulations available by specifying the lowest and highest

rates (see <min_rate> and <max_rate> below).

2. <automode> is an optional numeric value, which enables or disables automatic modulation

negotiation using V.8 bis/V.8 or V.32 bis Annex A. The options are:

<automode> Option Selected Notes

0 Automode disabled

1 Automode enabled using V.8 bis/V.8 or V.32 default

Annex A

The default value is 1, which enablesautomode. Note, however, there are modulations for which

there is no automode negotiation, e.g., Bell 212 (<mod>=69).

For <automode> = 0 (automode disabled, i.e., fixed modulation):

a. If <max_rate> is within the rates supported by the selected modulation, the selected rated is that

specified by <max_rate>. For example,

+MS=10, 0, 1200, 4800 selects V.32 bis 4800 bps fixed rate.

b. If <max_rate> is greater than the highest speed supported by the modulation specified by <mod>,

the starting rate is the highest rate supported by the selected modulation. For example,

+MS=10, 0, 2400, 14400 selects V.32 bis 14400, 12000, 9600, 7200, or 4800 bps.

c. To emulate issuance of the N0S37=x command sequence to select fixed mode operation, specify

the <max_rate>and<min_rate> both to be the (same) requested speed, and <mod> to be the

modulation for that speed. For example,

+MS=11, 0, 16800, 16800 selects V.34 16800 bps fixed mode (no comparable S37 command).

+MS=10, 0, 12000, 12000 selects V.32 bis 12000 bps fixed mode (same as N0S37=10).

For <automode> = 1 (automode enabled, i.e., automatically selected speed and modulation):

The modem connects at the highest possible rate in accordance with V.8 bis/V.8, or V.32 bis Annex

A if V.8 bis/V.8 is not supported by the remote modem.

a. If <max_rate> is greater than the highest rate supported by the modulation specified by <mod>,

the modem automodes down from the highest rate of the selected modulation. For example,

+MS=10, 1, 1200, 24000 selects automoding down from V.32 bis 14400 bps.

b. To emulate issuance of the N1S37=x sequence command, specify the modulation and the rate to

start automoding down from using <mod> and <max_rate>, respectively. Set <min_rate> to 300

to allow automoding all the way to V.21 300 bps. For example:

+MS=11, 1, 300, 16800 selects automodestarting at V.34 16800 bps (no comparable S37 command).

+MS=9, 1, 300, 12000 selects automode starting at V.32 bis 12000 bps same as N1S37=10).

3. <min_rate> is an optional number specifies the lowest rate at which the modem may establish a

connection. The value is decimal coded, in units of bps, e.g., 2400 specifies the lowest rate to be

2400 bps. The default is 300 for 300 bps.

4. <max_rate> is an optional number specifies the highest rate at which the modem may establish a

connection. The value is decimal coded, in units of bps, e.g., 14400 specifies the highest rate to

be 14400 bps. The default is 28800 for 28800 bps.

5. <x_law> is an optional number, which specifies the codec type. The options are:

0=µ-Law

1=A-Law

Note that ATZ will reset the <x_law> selection to 0 (µ-law).

* Also note that the <x_law> parameter in a +MS command overrides a previous %Un command

and a %Un command overrides the <x_law> setting specified in a previous +MS command.

6. <rb_signaling> is an optional number, which enables or disables robbed bit signaling generation

in a server modem or enables or disables robbed bit signaling detection in a client modem. The

options are:

0=Robbed bit signaling generation (server modem) or detection (client modem) disabled. (Default)

1=Robbed bit signaling generation (server modem) or detection (client modem) enabled.

Note that ATZ will reset the <rb_signaling> selection to 0. (Default)

Result Codes:

OK Valid subparameter string

ERROR Otherwise.

2.2.e Commands Preceded by **

** Download to Flash Memory

The linear flash memory downloader in the modem firmware allows flash memory connected to the modem

external memory bus to be upgraded with revised modem firmware. This process transfers (uploads) the

upgraded modem firmware (data) from the host computer to the modem which transfers (downloads) the

data to the flash memory device. Note that this command apply only to the modem with flash memory.

Programming the flash memory device is a two-step process.

1. When the AT** command is issued, the modem firmware boot loader is invoked and the user will first

load a flash load module (FLM) into the modem's RAM. The FLM contains the programming algorithm

for the flash memory device being programmed and any messages that may be sent during the load

process.

2. The user will then load the new modem firmware, which the FLM will then program into the flash

memory device.

Procedure:

1. Install in the modem a flash memory programmed with the modem firmware; ensure that the flash

memory device is programmed with the sector secure mode set to UNSECURE (AMD only), otherwise

the device connot be re-programmed in the modem.

2. Put the FLM file and the new modem firmware file (e.g., V1400DS.S37) in an appropriate directory on

the computer's hard disk.

3. Configure the communications application program for a DTE rate of between 9600 bps and 57600 bps

(57600 bps is faster) and RTS/CTS flow control. A load at 57600 bps will take approximately 2

minutes; a load at 19200 bps will take approximately 6 minutes.

4. Check the modem for response by typing AT.

5. Initiate the download process using the AT**n command, where:

AT**/AT**0 download speed is the last sensed speed (recommended command).

AT**1 Download speed is 38.4k bps.

AT**2 Download speed is 57.6k bps.

The "Download initiated" message appears upon issuing the AT**n command.

6. Perform an ASCII upload of the FLM file (e.g., AMDE.S37) from the host computer to the modem

RAM using an industry standard communications software of an equivalent process (ensure that all ASII

transmit or pacing is turned off).

To abort the load at this point, wait for the FLM download process to time-out, send a bad S37 record,

or reset (POR) the modem. If the load process times-out, the modem must be reset (ATZ) before the

FLM can be loaded again.

7. After the FLM has been loaded, perform an ASCII upload of the new modem firmwarehex file (e.g.,

RC288ACi.S37) from the host computer to the modem RAM using industry standard communications

software or an equivalent process. There will be a 3-second pause after the first record of the

RC288AXX.S37 file is sent, which is the FLASH erase cycle. There is no turning back at this point.

If the flash download fails (because of a bad .S37 record for example) or the upload is aborted, as long

as the modem is not turned off or reset, it will remain in the flash load cycle and the upload can be re-

attempted at step 7.

A "Wrong Device" message is displayed if an incorrect FLM is used. In this case, restart at step 5 and

upload the correct FLM file.

A "Wrong Hex file or flow control" message is displayed if an incompatible hex file format is used

(non-Motorola S3 format) or if the DTE ignores flow controls (the flash download uses both Xon/Xoff

and RCS/CTS flow control). If the wrong format was used, reinitiate the upload at step 7 using a correct

firmware hex file.

8. A "Device successfully programmed" message is displayed by the FLM at the completion of a

successful download and the modem will do a cold start.

2.3 Dial Modifiers

This section describes all of the dial modifiers, which are used in dial strings.

@ Answer

"@", placed after a phone number, this modifier tells the modem to wait for 5 seconds of silence before

dialing the next number in the dial string. @ is usually used to access a secure computer system that

provides a silent answer as permission for further entrance.

, Pause

",", placed anywhere in the dial string, tells the modem to pause for the number of seconds specified by S-

! Initiate a Hookflash

"!", placed anywhere in the dial string, tells the modem to initiate a hookflash, which means to hang up for

0.5 seconds and then go off-hook again before processing the rest of the dial string. This modifier allows

access to PBX features like call transferring.

; Return to Command State after Dialing

";", which must be placed at the end of the dial string, returns to the command state after dialing the number

placed ahead of it. A long telephone number would overflow the 40-character command buffer if placed all

in one command line, so it must be broken into two or more command lines. Each part includes part of the

number, and all but the last command line end with the ";" followed by a carriage return.

^ Tone Control

Toggles calling tone enable/disable: applicable to current dial attempt only.

JPerform MNP

Perform MNP 10 link negotiation at 1200 bps (for this call only).

K Enable Power Level

Enable power level adjustment during MNP 10 link negotiation (for this call only).

L Re-dial Last Number

The modem will re-dial the last valid telephone number. The L must be immediately after the D with all the

following characters ignored.

P Pulse Dialing

P, placed ahead of a number, tells the modem to dial a number using pulse dialing.

S Dial a Stored Number

S is used to dial one of four numbers stored in nonvolatile memory. For example, instead of entering a dial

string, you can use this command:

Command: ATDTS=1<CR>

T Touchtone Dialing

T, placed ahead of a number, tells the modem to dial a number using touchtone dialing.

W Wait for Dialtone

W, placed after a number, tells the modem to wait up to 30 seconds to detect a one-second continuous

dialtone before dialing the next number. W is most often used in a PBX system to wait for the dialtone of an

outside telephone line.

2.4 Commands Not Preceded by AT

Two commands, A/ and +++, are neither preceded by the attention code AT nor followed by a carriage

return.

A/ Repeat Command

A/ repeats the execution of the last command line stored in the command buffer. If the last command line is

invalid, the ERROR result code will appear on the screen. Note that A/ cannot be preceded by AT; if it is,

ERROR will appear on the screen.

+++ Escape

+++ followed by AT <CR> allows the modem to escape from the data mode to the on-line command state

(command state without breaking the established connection.)

To escape, stop transmitting data, wait at least one escape guard time (the default time is one second), and

then enter three consecutive escape characters (the default character is +) followed by AT <CR>.

The modem will return to the command state and send the OK result code to the screen. Note that the

escape command is the only command that can be recognized by the modem in the one-line state; it cannot

be recognized in the command state.

2.5 Result Codes

The modem sends a response to the user via the screen after a command is issued. As shown in the figure

below, there are two forms for each result code: Modem Response code and digit code.

3 - S REGISTERS REFERENCE

Your modem has status registers. These registers are memory locations inside your modem which control

your modem's operation. You usually do not have to worry about setting any register because the default

values work for most applications.

The S registers are summarized in Fig. 3-1, along with their default values. Registers denoted with an " * "

may be stored in one of the two user profiles by entering the &Wn command. One of these profiles may be

loaded at any time by using the Zn command.

The factory default values are stored in ROM and are loaded into the active configuration at power-up or by

the Zn command. In addition, the designated default profile is subsequently loaded, and may change some

of the factory default values. The designated default profile can be changed by entering the &Yn command,

where 'n' is one of the two possible user profiles. The factory defaults can be loaded at any time by entering

the &F command.

Fig. 3-1 S-Register Summary

3.2 Glossary of S Registers

S0 Number of Rings Before Auto Answer

S0 determines the number of rings that must be received before the modem automatically answers an

incoming call. For example, when S0=3, the modem automatically answers after the third ring. When S0=0,

the modem does not automatically answer an incoming call; it stays on-hook until the A command is issued

manually to answer the incoming call.

Range: 0 - 255 rings

S1 Ring Count

S1 automatically increments its value by one each time the modem receives a ring while in the command

state. S1 is reset to zero if no ring is detected within 8 seconds.

Range: 0 - 255 rings

S2 ASCII Value of Escape Character

S2 stores the ASCII value of the escape character. Setting register S2 to a value greater than 127 disables

the escape command and you cannot return to the command state. With escape disabled, in the on-line state

the modem cannot hang up until the power is turned off or the remote modem hangs up.

Range: 0 - 255, ASCII decimal.

S3 ASCII Value of Carriage Return

S3 stores the ASCII value of the carriage return character. (Pertains to asynchronous operation only.)

Range: 0 - 127, ASCII decimal.

S4 ASCII Value of Line Feed Character

S4 stores the ASCII value of the line feed character, if your computer does not recognize the default as a

line feed, change the value. A value greater than 127 disables the line feed. When disabled, the line feed

character that precedes or follows a result code is canceled.(Pertains to asynchronous operation only.)

Range: 0 - 127, ASCII decimal.

S5 ASCII Value of Backspace Character

S5 stores the ASCII value of the backspace character. The backspace is used to edit a command line. If your

computer does not recognize the default as a backspace, change the value. (Pertains to asynchronous

operation only.)

Set S5 to any value from 0 to 31 or 127. Do not set it to any value from 32 through 126 because these

values correspond to printable ASCII characters. A value greater than 127 disable the backspace and makes

it impossible to edit a command line.

Range: 0 - 32, ASCII decimal.

S6 Wait Time before Blind Dialing

S6 controls how long the modem waits after it goes off-hook before it dials the first digit of the telephone

number. The modem always pauses for at least 2 seconds, even if S6 is set to less than two seconds.

Range: 2 - 255 seconds.

S7 Wait for Carrier after Dial

S7 controls how long the modem waits for a carrier signal from a remote modem after originating a call or

from the calling modem after going off-hook when answering a call.

S7 also controls how long the modem waits for a one-second continuous dialtone after dialing a number

followed by the W dial modifier. If the modem detects a one-second continuous dialtone within the

specified wait time, it proceeds to dial.

Range: 1 - 255 seconds.

S8 Pause Time for Comma

S8 controls how long the modem pauses when a comma ", " is encountered in a dial string while executing

a dial command.

Range: 0 - 255 seconds.

S9 Carrier Detect Response Time

S9 determines how long a carrier signal must be present for the modem to confirm it. The longer the

response time, the easier it is for the modem to correctly recognize a carrier without mistaking other signals

or transient noise on the line as a carrier.

Range: 1 - 255 tenths of a second.

S10 Delay between Loss of Carrier and Hang-Up

S10 determines the delay time between the loss of a carrier from the remote modem and hang-up. This

allows for a temporary loss of carrier without causing the local modem to disconnect. When S10 is set to

255, the modem functions as if a carrier is always present.

The actual interval the modem waits before disconnecting is the value in S10 minus the value in S9.

Therefore, the value in S10 must be greater than that in S9, or else the modem disconnects before it

recognizes the carrier.

Range: 1 - 255 tenths of a second.

S11 DTMF (Touch-tone) Tone Duration

S11 determines the duration and spacing of tones for Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) dialing. This

value has no effect on pulse dialing.

Range: 50 - 255 milliseconds.

S12 Escape Guard Time

S12 determines the escape guard time. The escape guard time is the minimum waiting time required before

and after entering the escape code (three consecutive escape characters) in the on-line state. It is also the

maximum waiting time allowed between any two consecutive escape characters. If the waiting time before

or after the escape code is shorter than the guard time, or if the waiting time between consecutive escape

characters is longer than the guard time, then the modem does not recognize the escape command and stays

on-line.

If the escape guard time is set at 0 second, it is impossible to return the modem to command state.

Range: 0 - 255 1/50 of a second.

S24 Sleep Inactivity Timer

Set the length of time, in units of 10 seconds, that the modem will operate in normal mode with no detected

telephone line of DTE line activity before entering low-power sleep mode.

Range: 0 - 255 (seconds)

S25 Delay to DTR

S25 serves two purposes. When the modem is operating in synchronous mode 1, the value assigned to S25

specifies the length of time the modem waits after a connection has been made before examining DTR. This

allows the modem to ignore an ON-to-OFF transition of DTR, giving the user time to disconnect the modem

from the asynchronous terminal and attach it to a synchronous terminal, without forcing the modem back to

the asynchronous command mode. During this time, the value for S25 is read in whole seconds.

In all other modes, and after call establishment in synchronous modes 1 and 4, the value is read in 1/100

seconds. In any mode, a change in DTR (ON or OFF) that persists for a period shorter than the value held in

S25 is ignored by the modem while it is in data mode.

Range: 0 - 255 (1 second for synchronous mode 1;

0.01 second otherwise)

S26 RTS to CTS Delay Interval

Pertains to synchronous operation only. When CTS tracks RTS (&R0) and the modem detects an ON-to-

OFF transition on RTS, this register sets the time delay before the modem turns CTS to ON.

4 - TESTING

The modem provides five testing features to identify fault location when transmission quality is not good:

local digital loopback, local analog loop back, local analog loopback with self-test, remote digital loopback,

and remote digital loopback with self-test. These tests are initiated with the &Tn command described in

Chapter 2.

4.1 Local Analog Loopback

The local analog loopback test checks the integrity of the local computer or terminal and the local modem.

During the test, the local modem internally loops data sent from the local computer or terminal back to the

same computer or terminal as shown in Figure 4-1. During the test, data is not transmitted to the remote

modem.

If characters are looped correctly during this test, both the modem and the local computer or terminal are

functioning correctly. If incorrect characters appear on the screen, either the local computer or terminal or

the local modem is in error.

To perform a local analog loopback, put the local modem in the command state. If it is on-line, issue the

escape command + + +, to return to the command state.

Example 1 - test timer disabled

Command: AT&Q0<CR>

ATS18=0&TI <CR>

Result: CONNECT 56000

Test message: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE

LAZY DOG 1234567890

Escape: + + +

(return to the on-line command state)

Result code: OK

Command: AT&T0 <CR> (end the test)

Result code: OK

Here, the test timer is disabled and the modem sets up an internal analog loop as shown in Figure 4-1. When

the loopback is established, the modem goes on-line and the test message (any character you type) is looped

back on the screen for verification. Finally, +++ returns the modem to the command state and &T0 ends

the test and breaks the internal analog loop.

The following command sequence is the same as the previous one except that the test timer is set to 60

seconds. At the end of the test time, the timer expires, the test ends, and the test result is reported.

Example 2 - test timer enabled

Command: AT&Q0<CR>

ATS18=60&T1<CR>

Result: CONNECT 56000

Test message: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER

THE LAZY DOG 1234567890

Escape: +++

Result code: OK

4.2 Local Analog Loopback with Self-Test

The local analog loopback with self-test checks the integrity of the local modem. In this test, an internally

generated data pattern of alternate binary ones and zeros (reversals) at the selected bit rate is looped through

the internal analog loop inside the local modem to an internal error counter as shown in Figure 4-2. An error

count of 255 indicates that 255 or more errors were detected.

Example-the test timer is disabled and 12 errors are found during the test

Command: AT&Q0<CR>

ATS18=0&T8<CR>

Result: OK

Command: AT&T0<CR> (ends the test)

Test result: 000

Result code: OK

5 - THROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

This chapter describes common problems in the installation, configuration and regular usage of your

Fax/Data Modem. To test the Fax/Data Modem, a communication software package is needed and the

package must include a mode that allows you to operate your Fax/Data Modem by directly issuing internal

commands to the modem.

Follow the procedures in the following sections to resolve these common problems:

No Response From Your Modem

1. If you are using the internal add-on card modems, make sure that the COM port address you have

set your modem to corresponds to the appropriate selection in the communications software which

you are using.

2. Issue the ATZ command to reset your modem. The returned result code should be "0" or "OK"

depending on what communications program you are using. Your modem is OK if you get one of

these responses. If there is no response after issuing the ATZ<CR>, continue to the next step.

3. Check if there are any other interface cards in your computer that use the same COM port address

as your modem. If so, you must set your modem to another COM port address. (Keep in mind that on

most systems, only two COM ports are available. One of them must be used as either 1 or 3, while

the other must be used as 2 or 4.) For example, if a mouse is set to COM 1, your modem should be

set to COM2 or COM4. Continue to the next step if the COM port address is OK.

4. Issue the command: AT&F&W <CR>, if a "0" or "OK" result code is displayed on the screen, your

modem is OK. Otherwise, contact your dealer for assistance.

Your Modem Does Not Dial Out

Make sure that your modem responds normally as described in section 4.1. If you can communicate through

the keyboard, check whether the modem is properly connected to the phone line.

Your Modem Does Not Connect After It Has Dialed a Phone Number

The problem may have several causes. The phone line may be too noisy or the telephone cord may be poor.

Try the line with a regular phone. Also the remote modem may not recognize your modem's baud rate.

Your Can't Transmit After You Have Connected to the Remote Modem

In this case, check the communication parameters of the remote modem, then configure your software to the

same number of data bits, stop bit, and parity.

6 - APPLICATION EXAMPLES

6.1 Dialing a Remote Modem

Command line: ATDP9WT002, (886)-7128423<CR>

This command line instruct the modem to dial a remote modem through a PBX. The modem first use pulse

dialing to dial 9 (the access code of the PBX), wait for outside dial tone, and then use touch tone dialing to

dial 002 once a one-second continuous dial tone is detected within 30 seconds, pause for 2 seconds (if

S8=2) and then dial 8867128423.

6.2 Dialing a Stored Number

Command line: AT&Z2=T03,709394<CR>

Command line: ATDS=2<CR>

The first command line store the dial string T03, 709394 to the 3rd location in NVRAM. Afterwards you

can use the second command line to dial this stored number. The dial string T03, 709394 will appear on the

screen to indicate the number being dialed.

6.3 Manual Answer an Incoming Call

Command line: ATA <CR>

The factory setting of the S-register S0 is S0=0. This condition disables the auto answer capability so that

you must issue an ATA command to answer a call. At power up, your modem always monitors if there are

incoming rings. If incoming rings are detected, your modem will display result codes on the screen as :

RING

Seeing that, you may issue the ATA command to answer the call. This command must be entered within the

quiet interval between any two rings.

6.4 Auto Answer an Incoming Call

Command line: AT S0=2 &W &Y <CR>

Auto answer can be enabled by changing the setting of the S-register S0 to a value between 1 and 255. In

the above command line, S0=2 instructs the modem to answer an incoming call automatically after the 2nd

ring. The &W command writes this configuration to profile 0 in NVRAM. &Y command instruct the

modem to load profile 0 as the active configuration on power-up. The last two commands make S0=2 the

default value at power-up or reset.

This example also shows the insertion of space between two neighboring commands to make the command

line more readable.

6.5 Voice to Data Switch

Command line: ATA <CR> or ATX1D <CR>

If you are talking with a remote modem user through the telephone set and want to initiate data

communication with the remote modem, follow the procedures below:

1. You or the remote user issue an ATA command first to switch to data communication.

2. When the person on the other end hears an answer tone from the phone, issues an ATX1D command

(X1 to disable the dial tone monitor) to instruct the modem to go off-hook and wait for a carrier. If

connection is successful, the CONNECT XXXX result code will be displayed on the screen. Now

you can hang up your phone and begin data communication with the remote modem.

E - GLOSSARY

ASCII - An acronym for American Standard Code for Information Exchange. ASCII is a seven-bit code

which defines 128 standard characters, including control characters, letters, numbers, and symbols. An extra

128 characters comprise the extended ASCII set.

Baud Rate - The transmission rate between two serial devices, e.g., modems, fax machines, etc.

Measured in Bits Per Second.

Blind Dialing - In blind dialing, the modem continues to dial, regardless of the existence of a dialtone,

ring, or busy signal.

BPS - Bits Per Second; the number of bits that can be transmitted in one second.

Carrier Signal - The analog data signal that a modem sends over telephphone wires.

COMx - Where (x = 1, 2, 3, or 4), COMx is the name(address) of serial communications ports on personal

computers. Each serial port in a personal computer has a different number.

CTS - Clear To Send.

Default - The assumed value that is used for a command parameter when no other value is explicitly

provided.

DCD - Data Carrier Detect.

DCE - Data Communication Equipment.

DTE - Data Terminal Equipment.

DTMF - Dual Tone Multifrequency(for touchtone dialing).

DTR - Data Terminal Ready.

FSK - Frequency Shift Keying.

Make/Break Ratio - The ratio of the off-hook (make) to on-hook (break) interval is the make/break ratio

in pulse dialing.

Modem - A combination of the words MOdulator and DEModulator. Modems transform digital data into

analog signals and back again.

Nonvolatile Memory - An area of memory inside the modem where the default configuration profile is

stored. Values recorded in this memory will not be lost when the power is turned off.

Off-Hook - The condition when the modem has picked up the telephone line.

Off-Line Command State - A modem state in which the modem accepts, interprets and executes

commands from an asynchronous computer or terminal.

On-Hook - The condition when the modem has not picked up the telephone line; the telephone is hung up.

On-Line - A carrier signal link with a remote modem has been established; communication is in progress.

On-Line State - A modem state in which the modem is connected with a remote modem. Data can be sent

or received from the remote modem in this state. No commands will be accepted from the modem except

the escape command which will bring the modem into the on-line command state.

On-Line Command State - A modem state in which the modem can accept or execute commands from

an asynchronous computer or terminal while remaining connected with the remote modem. The user can

return the modem to the on-line state by issuing the AT0n command or put it into the off-line command

state by issuing command such as ATZ or ATH.

Parity - An error-checking method by which the modem verifies that the data just sent is correct.

pps - Pulse per second.

Profile - A list of default settings.

Protocol - A technical specification for serial communications; the protocols supported by the modem

are listed in Appendix B.

PSK - Phase Shift Keying.

Pulse Dialing - A dialing form in which each digit is represented by a series of pulses. Rotary telephones

all use pulse dialing.

QAM - Quadrature Amplitude Modulation.

Result Codes - The response the modem returns to the screen upon executing a command.

RAM - Random Access Memory.

ROM - Read-Only Memory. A chip inside the modem which stores the factory default settings. This

memory cannot be changed.

RTS - Request To Send.

RX - Reception.

S Register - RAM locations in the modem which store the active configuration.

Serial Port - See COMx.

TCM - Trellis-Coded Modulation.

Touchtone Dialing - A dialing format in which each digit is represented by a musical frequency.

TX - Transmission.
