User’s Manual C-1libretto U100Appendix CAT CommandsIn most cases, you will not need to type AT commands manually. However, there might be some occasions when you will need to do so.This chapter describes AT commands for data mode. Fax and voice commands are taken care of by application software.The format for entering AT commands is:ATXnwhere X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command. After you type in the command press ENTER.Any command issued is acknowledged with a response in either text or numeric values known as result codes.All commands and command-values accepted by the modem are described in this section; any entry other than those listed results in an error.+++ Escape sequenceThe escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line command mode, you can communicate directly to your modem using AT commands. Once you finish, you can return to data mode using the ATO command.A pause, the length of which is set by Escape Guard Time (S12), must be completed after an escape sequence is entered. 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 commandThis command repeats the last command string entered. Do not precede this command with an AT prefix or conclude it by pressing Enter.A Answer commandThis command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call.

User’s Manual D-1libretto U100Appendix DS-registersS-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails. You can also customize certain AT commands such as the escape sequence and command line termination. The contents of the registers are changed automatically when you modify corresponding settings in your communication software. If you choose, however, you can display and edit the contents of the registers manually when the modem is in command mode. If the value is out of the acceptable range, then an error is generated.This chapter describes the settings for each S-register.S-register valuesThe format for displaying the value of an S-register is:ATSn?where n is the register number. After you type in the register press ENTER.The format for modifying the value of an S-register is:ATSn=rwhere n is the register number, and r is the new register value. After you type in the register and its new value press ENTER.S0 Auto answer ring numberThis register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automatically answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command.Range: 0-255Default: 0Units: ringsSome registers vary from one country/region to another.

If no ring occurs over a six-second interval, this register is cleared.Range: 0-225Default: 0Units: ringsS2 AT escape character (user defined)This register determines the ASCII values used for an escape sequence. The default is the + character. The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter command mode when on-line. Values greater than 127 disable the escape sequence.Range: 0-255, ASCII decimalDefault: 43Units: ASCIIS3 Command line termination character (user defined)This register determines the ASCII values as the carriage return character. This character is used to end command lines and result codes.Range: 0-127, ASCII decimalDefault: 13 (carriage return)Units: ASCIIS4 Response formatting character (user defined)This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed character.

User’s Manual D-3S-registersS5 Command line editing character (user defined)This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local DTE the backspace character, an ASCII space character, and a second backspace character. This means a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the backspace character.Range: 0-127, ASCII decimalDefault: 8 (backspace)Units: ASCIIS6 Wait before dialingThis register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem must wait (pause) after going off-hook before dialing the first digit of the telephone number. The modem always pauses for a minimum of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less that two seconds. The wait for dial tone call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6. This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country/region restrictions. In some countries/regions, S6 will set dial tone detect time.Range: 3-255Default: 3Units: secondsS7 Connection completion time-outThis register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up because carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of an answer tone if allowed by county restriction. The timer also specifies the wait for silence time for the @ dial modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with the W dial modifier.Range: 1-255Default: 50Units: seconds
