1.1.3 Call Progress and Blacklisting Parameters
The modem MCU firmware may be provided either in reconfigurable form or preconfigured form. Consult the specific
firmware release notes for exact configuration information.
Reconfigurable Form. The modem MCU firmware can be configured for operation in specific countries by the PCcompatible ConfigurACE II program. The call progress and blacklisting parameters described in the ConfigurACE II User's
Manual can be altered and loaded for a number of countries by this program.
Preconfigured Form. Specific MCU firmware configurations may be released that can be directly installed without requiring
the use of ConfigurACE II.
1.1.4 ConfigurACE II for Windows Utility Program
The PC-based ConfigurACE II for Windows utility program allows the OEM to customize the modem firmware to suit specific
application and country requirements. ConfigurACE II for Windows allows programming of functions such as:
Loading of multiple sets of country parameters
Loading of NVRAM factory profiles
Call progress and blacklisting parameters
Entry of S register maximum/minimum values
Limitation of transmit levels
Modification of factory default values
Customization of the ATI4 response
Customization of fax OEM messages
This program modifies the hex object code which can be programmed directly into the system EPROM. Lists of the
generated parameters can be displayed or printed.
Rockwell-provided country parameter files allow a complete set of country-specific call progress and blacklisting parameters
to be selected.

2. COMMAND SYNTAX
2.1 DTE/DCE INTERCHANGE CIRCUITS
Communication between the DTE and modem is half duplex (i.e., only one entity 'talks' at a time).
2.2 COMMAND SYNTAX AND GUIDELINES
2.2.1 DTE Commands
The ISO 646 character set (CCITT T.50 International Alphabet 5, American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is
used for the issuance of commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits of each character are used for commands or
parameters; the high-order bit is ignored. Upper case characters are equivalent to lower case characters.
2.2.2 DTE Command Lines
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the DCE while the DCE is in a command state. Command lines
have a prefix, a body, and a terminator. The prefix consists of the ASCII characters “AT” (065, 084) or “at” (097, 116). The
body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters (032 - 126). Space characters (ASCII 032) and control
characters other than carriage return  (default value = ASCII 013 = 0Dh, see register S3), backspace  (default
value = ASCII 008 = 08h, see register S5), and cancel  (ASCII 024 = 18h) in the command string are ignored. The
default terminator is the  character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored.
2.3 AT COMMAND GUIDELINES
Modem operation is controlled by generic AT commands. These AT commands may be basic AT (i.e., commands preceded
by AT, AT&, AT%, AT*, AT\, AT), AT-, or AT#), S-Register (e.g., S6=n), Fax class 1 (e.g., +FTM), Fax class 2 (e.g.,
+FDCS:), or voice (e.g., #VBS) commands. The command syntax and operation guidelines governing each of these
command categories are described in subsequent sections.
2.3.1 Basic Command Syntax
Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with associated parameter values. The basic commands
consist of single ASCII characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character, followed by a decimal parameter
(e.g., “&D1"). Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
2.3.2 Extended Command Syntax
The facsimile commands use extended syntax. They are preceded by the “+F” characters, and they are terminated by the
semicolon “:” character (ASCII 059) or by the  that terminates the command line.

3. AT COMMAND SET
3.1 AT COMMAND GUIDELINES
The basic AT commands used to control modem operation are defined in this section. These commands are summarized in
Appendix A. All these commands may not be available in a specific product depending upon supported data rates and
modes. The default values are typical of a fully configured modem supporting all data rates and options. The actual default
value is dependent upon modem firmware as defined by the firmware release notes.
3.1.1 AT Commands, DTE Adaption
Under AT operation, the serial interfaced modem performs an autobaud/autoparity/autolength function on each AT header
entered. The autolength/autoparity facility can detect 7- or 8-bit characters of even, odd, or no parity with one stop bit. This is
not necessary for the parallel interfaced modem since it has direct access to the UART registers.
3.1.2 AT Command Format
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the modem (DCE) while the modem is in a command state. A
command line has a prefix, a body, and a terminator. Each command line (with the exception of the A/ command) must
begin with the character sequence AT and must be terminated by a carriage return. Commands entered in upper case or
lower case are accepted, but both the A and T must be of the same case, i.e., "AT" = ASCII 065, 084 or “at” = ASCII 097,
116. The body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters (032 - 126). Space characters (ASCII 032)
and control characters other than CR (ASCII 013) and BS (ASCII 010) in the command string are ignored. The default
terminator is the ASCII  character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored. The command line interpretation
begins upon receipt of the carriage return character.
Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with associated parameter values. The basic commands
consist of single ASCII characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character (e.g., “&"), followed by a decimal
parameter. Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
The modem supports the editing of command lines by recognizing a backspace character. When modem echo is enabled,
the modem responds to receipt of a backspace or delete by echoing a backspace character, a space character, and another
backspace. The hex value to be used for the backspace character is programmable through register S5. Values equal to 0
or greater than 127, or the value which corresponds to the carriage return character, cannot be used for the backspace
character. This editing is not applicable to the AT header of a command. A command line may be aborted at any time by
entering < cntrl-x > (18h).
The AT sequence may be followed by any number of commands in sequence, except for commands such as Z, D, or A.
Commands following commands Z, D, or A on the same command line will be ignored. The maximum number of characters
on any command line is 39 (including "A" and "T"). If a syntax error is found anywhere in a command line command, the
remainder of the line will be ignored and the ERROR result code will be returned.
Most commands entered with parameters out of range will not be accepted and the ERROR response will be returned to the
DTE.
Commands will only be accepted by the modem once the previous command has been fully executed, which is normally
indicated by the return of an appropriate result code. Execution of commands D and A, either as a result of a direct
command or a re-execute command, will be aborted if another character is entered before completion of the handshake.
3.1.3 Escape Code Sequence
When the modem has established a connection and has entered on-line data mode, it is possible to break into the data
transmission in order to issue further commands to the modem in an on-line command mode. This is achieved by the DTE
sending to the modem a sequence of three ASCII characters specified by register S2. The default character is '+'. The
maximum time allowed between receipt of the last character of the three escape character sequence from the DTE and
sending of the OK result code to the DTE is controlled by the S12 register.

AT Command Reference Manual
3.2 AT COMMAND SET
The modem will respond to the commands detailed below. Parameters applicable to each command are listed with the
command description. The defaults shown for each configuration command are those used in the Rockwell factory profile 0.
3.2.1 AT Commands
A/ - Re-execute Command
The modem behaves as though the last command line had been re-sent by the DTE. "A/" will repeat all the commands in the
command buffer.
The principal application of this command is to place another call (using the Dial command) that failed to connect due to a
busy line, no answer, or a wrong number. This command must appear alone on a command line. This command should not
be terminated by a carriage return.
AT= x - Write to Selected S-Register
This command writes the value x to the currently selected S-Register. An S-Register can be selected by using the ATSn
command. All of the S-Registers will return the OK response if x is a number. Some registers may not be written due to
country specific PTT limitations.
Result Codes
OK
For all arguments.
AT? - Read Selected S-Register
This command reads and displays the selected S-Register. An S-Register can be selected by using the ATSn command.
Result Codes:
OK
For all arguments.
A - Answer
The modem will go off-hook and attempt to answer an incoming call if correct conditions are met. Upon successful
completion of answer handshake, the modem will go on-line in answer mode. This command may be affected by the state of
Line Current Sense, if enabled. (Most countries do not require Line Current Sense.) Operation is also dependent upon
+FCLASS command and country-specific requirements.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will enter the connect state after exchanging carrier with the remote modem. If no
carrier is detected within a period specified in register S7, the modem hangs up. Any character entered during the connect
sequence will abort the connection attempt.
If +FCLASS=1 or 2 is selected, the modem will go off-hook in V.21 answer mode. It will generate the V.21 2100 Hz answer
tone for 3 ± 0.5 seconds and, following a delay of 70 ms, will proceed as if the +FTH=3 command were issued. At any stage
up to (but excluding) the +FTH=3 command state, any character will abort the communication. (See the description of the
+FTH command for details.)
Bn - CCITT or Bell
When the modem is configured to allow either option, the modem will select Bell or CCITT modulation for a line speed
connection of 300 or 1200 bps according to the parameter supplied. Any other line speed will use a CCITT modulation
standard. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S27 bit 6. (Also, see ATFn command.)
B0
Selects CCITT operation at 300 or 1200 bps during Call Establishment and a subsequent
connection. (Default for W-class models.)
B1
Selects BELL operation at 300 or 1200 bps during Call Establishment and a subsequent
connection. (Default for US models.)
Result Codes:
3-2
OK
n = 0 or 1.
ERROR
Otherwise.

Cn - Carrier Control
This command is included for compatibility only, and has no effect other than returning a result code. The only valid
parameter is 1.
Result Codes:
OK
n = 1.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Dn - Dial
This command directs the modem to go on-line, dial according to the string entered and attempt to establish a connection. If
no dial string is supplied, the modem will go on-line and attempt the handshake in originate mode. In W-class models, the
action of going off-hook is affected by the status of the Line Current Sense input, if line current sensing is enabled, and by
the blacklist and delayed list. NOTE: If the ATD command is issued before the S1 register has cleared, the modem will
respond with the NO CARRIER result code.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will behave as a data modem and will attempt to connect to another data modem.
The modem will have up to the period of time specified by register S6 or S7 to wait for carrier and complete the handshake.
If this time expires before the modem can complete the handshake, the modem will go on-hook with the NO CARRIER
response. This command will be aborted in progress upon receipt of any DTE character before completion of the handshake.
If +FCLASS=1 or 2 is selected, the modem will behave as a facsimile modem and attempt to connect to a facsimile machine
(or modem) by entering the HDLC V.21 channel 2 receive state (as if +FRH=3 had been issued). This command will be
aborted upon receipt of any DTE character if the modem has not finished dialing. In this case, the modem will go on-hook
and return to command mode after displaying the NO CARRIER message. If the modem has finished dialing, it proceeds as
if the +FRH=3 command has been issued. (Refer to the +FRH command to determine how the modem behaves following
this stage.)
Dial Modifiers. The valid dial string parameters are described below. Punctuation characters may be used for clarity, with
parentheses, hyphen, and spaces being ignored.
1048
0-9
DTMF digits 0 to 9.
The 'star' digit (tone dialing only).
The 'gate' digit (tone dialing only).
A-D
DTMF digits A, B, C, and D. Some countries may prohibit sending of these digits during dialing.
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).
Select pulse dialing: pulse dial the numbers that follow until a "T" is encountered. Affects current and
subsequent dialing. Some countries prevent changing dialing modes after the first digit is dialed.
Select tone dialing: tone dial the numbers that follow until a "P" is encountered. Affects current and
subsequent dialing. Some countries prevent changing dialing modes after the first digit is dialed.
This command will be accepted, but not acted on.
S=n
Dial the number stored in the directory (n = 0 to 3). (See &Z.)
Flash: the modem will go on-hook for a time defined by the value of S29. Country requirements may
limit the time imposed.
Wait for dial tone: the modem will wait for dial tone before dialing the digits following "W". If dial tone
is not detected within the time specified by S7 (US) or S6 (W-class), the modem will abort the rest
of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
3-3
AT Command Reference Manual
Wait for silence: the modem will wait for at least 5 seconds of silence in the call progress frequency
band before continuing with the next dial string parameter. If the modem does not detect these 5
seconds of silence before the expiration of the call abort timer (S7), the modem will terminate the
call attempt with a NO ANSWER message. If busy detection is enabled, the modem may terminate
the call with the BUSY result code. If answer tone arrives during execution of this parameter, the
modem handshakes.
Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial string. If the tone is not detected
within the time specified by S7 (US models) or S6 (W-class models), the modem will abort the rest
of the sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
Dial pause: the modem will pause for a time specified by S8 before dialing the digits following ",".
Return to command state. Added to the end of a dial string, this causes the modem to return to the
command state after it processes the portion of the dial string preceding the ";". This allows the user
to issue additional AT commands while remaining off-hook. The additional AT commands may be
placed in the original command line following the ";" and/or may be entered on subsequent
command lines. The modem will enter call progress only after an additional dial command is issued
without the ";" terminator. Use "H" to abort the dial in progress, and go back on-hook.
Toggles calling tone enable/disable: applicable to current dial attempt only.

Fn - Select Line Modulation (RC144 Models Only)
This command selects the line modulation according to the parameter supplied. The line modulation is fixed unless
Automode is selected. This command interacts with the S37 and the N command. The parameter value, if valid, is written to
S37 bits 0-4. To select line modulation, it is recommended that either the F command, or a combination of the S37 and the N
command, be used, but not both.
F0
Selects auto-detect mode. Sets N1 and sets S31 bit 1. In this mode, the modem configures for
automode operation. All connect speeds supported by the modem are possible according to the
remote modem's preference. The contents of S37 are ignored as is the sensed DTE speed.
F1
Selects V.21 or Bell 103 according to the B setting as the only acceptable line speed resulting in a
subsequent connection. Sets N0, sets S37 to 1, and clears S31 bit 1. This command is equivalent
to the command string: ATN0S37=1.
F2
Not supported.
F3
Selects V.23 as the only acceptable line modulation for a subsequent connection. Originator is at
75 bps and answerer is at 1200 bps. Sets N0, sets S37 to 7, and clears S31 bit 1. This command
is equivalent to the command string: ATN0S37=7.
F4

Hn - Disconnect (Hang-Up)
This command initiates a hang up sequence.
This command may not be available for some countries due to PTT restrictions.
H0
The modem will release the line if the modem is currently on-line, and will terminate any test
(AT&T) that is in progress. Country specific, modulation specific, and error correction protocol
specific (S38) processing is handled outside of the H0 command.
H1
If on-hook, the modem will go off-hook and enter command mode. For US models, the modem
will remain off-hook. For W-class models, the modem will return on-hook after a period of time
determined by S7.
Result Codes:
OK
n = 0 or 1.
ERROR
Otherwise.
In - Identification
The modem reports to the DTE the requested result according to the command parameter.
I0

Mn - Speaker Control
This command selects when the speaker will be on or off. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S22 bits 2 and 3.
M0
Speaker is always off.
M1
Speaker is on during call establishment, but off when receiving carrier. (Default.)
M2
Speaker is always on.
M3
Speaker is off when receiving carrier and during dialing, but on during answering.
Result Codes:
OK
n = 0 to 3.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Nn - Automode Enable
This command enables or disables automode detection. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S31 bit 1.
N0
Automode detection is disabled (equivalent to setting the +MS  subparameter to 0). A
subsequent handshake will be conducted according to the contents of S37 or, if S37 is zero,
according to the most recently sensed DTE speed.
N1
Automode detection is enabled (equivalent to setting the +MS  subparameter to 1). A
subsequent handshake will be conducted according the automode algorithm supported by the
modem, e.g., according to the contents of S37 or, if S37 is zero, starting at 28800 bps V.34
(RC288). This command is also equivalent to F0 (RC144). (Default.)
Result Codes:
OK
n = 0 or 1.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Notes:
1.
The Nn and S37=x commands override the +MS command settings. When the N0 or N1 command is issued, the +MS
subparameters are updated to reflect the Nn and S37 values (see +MS command and S37 register). For example:
N1S37=10 updates the +MS command subparameters to reflect +MS=10,1,300,12000
N0S37=10 updates the +MS command subparameters to reflect +MS=10,0,12000,12000
2.
Use of the +MS command is recommended instead of the Nn and S37=x commands. Nn and S37=x commands are
supported for compatibility with existing communication software.
On - Return to On-Line Data Mode
This command determines how the modem will enter the on-line data mode. If the modem is in the on-line command mode,
the enters the on-line data mode with or without a retrain. If the modem is in the off-line command mode (no connection),
ERROR is reported.
O0
Enters on-line data mode without a retrain. Handling is determined by the Call Establishment task.
Generally, if a connection exists, this command connects the DTE back to the remote modem
after an escape (+++).
O1
Enters on-line data mode with a retrain before returning to on-line data mode.
Result Codes:
1048
OK
n = 0 or 1 and a connection exists.
ERROR
Otherwise or if not connected.

AT Command Reference Manual
P - Set Pulse Dial Default
This command forces pulse dialing until the next T dial modifier or T command is received. Sets S14 bit 5.
As soon as a dial command is executed which explicitly specifies the dialing mode for that particular call (e.g., ATDT...), this
command is overridden so that all future dialing will be tone dialed. (See T command.)
This command may not be permitted in some countries.
Result Code:
OK
Qn - Quiet Results Codes Control
The command enables or disables the sending of result codes to the DTE according to the parameter supplied. The
parameter value, if valid, is written to S14 bit 2.
Q0
Enables result codes to the DTE. (Default.)
Q1
Disables result codes to the DTE.
Result Codes:
OK
n = 0 or 1.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Sn - Read/Write S-Register
The modem selects an S-Register, performs an S-Register read or write function, or reports the value of an S-Register.
Establishes S-Register n as the last register accessed.
n=v
Sets S-Register n to the value v.
n?
Reports the value of S-Register n.
The parameter n can be omitted, in which case the last S-Register accessed will be assumed. The S can be omitted for AT=
and AT?, in which case the last S-Register accessed will be assumed.
For example:
ATS7 establishes S7 as the last accessed register.
AT=40 sets the contents of the last register accessed to 40.
ATS=20 sets the contents of the last register accessed to 20.
If the number "n" is beyond the range of the S-Registers available, the modem will return the ERROR message. The value
"v" is "MOD"ed with 256. If the result is outside the range permitted for a given S-Register the values will still be stored, but
functionally the lower and higher limits will be observed. Input and output are always in decimal format. Note that some SRegisters are read-only.
In some cases, writing to the S-Register will appear to be accepted but the value will not actually be written.
Due to country restrictions, some commands will be accepted, but the value may be limited and replaced by a maximum or
minimum value.
Minimum, maximum, and default values for S-Registers may be altered with ConfigurACE.

Xn - Extended Result Codes
This command selects which subset of the result messages will be used by the modem to inform the DTE of the results of
commands.
Blind dialing is enabled or disabled by country parameters. If the user wishes to enforce dial tone detection, a "W" can be
placed in the dial string (see D command). Note that the information below is based upon the default implementation of the X
results table. Table 3-1 indicates the messages which are enabled for each X value.
If the modem is in facsimile mode (+FCLASS=1 or 2), the only message sent to indicate a connection is CONNECT without
a speed indication.
X0
Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country requirements; send only
OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, and NO ANSWER result codes. Blind dialing is
enabled/disabled by country parameters. If busy tone detection is enforced and busy tone is
detected, NO CARRIER will be reported. If dial tone detection is enforced or selected and dial
tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of NO DIAL TONE. The value 000b is
written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X1
Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country requirements; send only
OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NO ANSWER, and CONNECT XXXX (XXXX =
rate). Blind dialing enabled/disabled by country parameters. If busy tone detection is enforced and
busy tone is detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of BUSY. If dial tone detection is
enforced or selected and dial tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of NO
DIAL TONE. The value 100b is written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X2
Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country requirements; send only
OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NO DIALTONE, NO ANSWER, and CONNECT
XXXX. If busy tone detection is enforced and busy tone is detected, NO CARRIER will be
reported instead of BUSY. If dial tone detection is enforced or selected and dial tone is not
detected, NO DIAL TONE will be reported instead of NO CARRIER. The value 101b is written to
S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X3
Enables monitoring of busy tones; send only OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NO
ANSWER, and CONNECT XXXX. Blind dialing is enabled/disabled by country parameters. If dial
tone detection is enforced and dial tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported. The value
110b is written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.

&Mn - Asynchronous/Synchronous Mode Selection
This command determines the DTR operating mode. The modem treats the &M command as a subset of the &Q command.
&M0
Selects direct asynchronous operation. Note that the command sequence &M0\N0 selects normal
buffered mode, but the command sequence \N0&M0 selects direct mode. This is because the \N0
command is analogous to the &Q6 command. The value 000b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0,
respectively. (See &Q).
&M1
Selects synchronous connect mode with async off-line command mode. The value 001b is written
to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively. (Serial interface operation only.)
&M2
Selects synchronous connect mode with async off-line command mode. Same as &M1 except
that &M2 enables DTR dialing of directory slot 0. The modem will disconnect if DTR is OFF for
more than the period in S25 (in units of hundredths of a second): the data connection will be
synchronous. The value 010b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively. (Serial interface
operation only.)
&M3
Selects synchronous connect mode. This mode allows DTR to act as a talk/data switch. The call
is manually initiated while DTR is inactive. When DTR becomes active, the handshake proceeds
in originate or answer mode according to S14 bit 7. The value 011b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and
0, respectively. (Serial interface operation only.)
Result Codes:
OK
n = 0 to 3.
ERROR
Otherwise.
&Pn - Select Pulse Dial Make/Break Ratio
This command determines the make/break ratio used during pulse dialing. It is only effective if the appropriate bit to enable
this command is set through the ConfigurACE program. If enabled, it will override the make/break ratios in the OEM
parameters in ConfigurACE. The default is country-dependent. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S28 bits 3 and 4.
&P0
Selects 39%-61% make/break ratio at 10 pulses per second. (Default.)
&P1
Selects 33%-67% make/break ratio at 10 pulses per second.
&P2
Selects 39%-61% make/break ratio at 20 pulses per second.

&Qn - Sync/Async Mode
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. (Also, see \N.)
NOTE: When the &Q0 to &Q4 command is issued to select the mode, the subsequent connect message will report the DCE
speed regardless of the W command and S95 settings.
&Q0
Selects direct asynchronous operation. The value 000b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0,
respectively. See &M0.
&Q1
Selects synchronous connect mode with async off-line command mode. The value 001b is written
to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively. See &M1. (Serial interface operation only.)
&Q2
Selects synchronous connect mode with async off-line command mode and enables DTR dialing
of directory 0. The value 010b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively. See &M2. (Serial
interface operation only.)
&Q3
Selects synchronous connect mode with async off-line command mode and enables DTR to act
as Talk/Data switch. The value 011b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively. See &M3.
(Serial interface operation only.)
&Q4
Selects AutoSync operation. The value 100b is written to S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively.
AutoSync operation, when used in conjunction with the Hayes Synchronous Interface (HSI)
capability in the DTE, provides synchronous communication capability from an asynchronous
terminal.
Starting AutoSync. Set registers S19, S20, and S25 to the desired values before selecting
AutoSync operation with &Q4. After the CONNECT message is issued, the modem waits the
period of time specified by S25 before examining DTR. If DTR is on, the modem enters the
synchronous operating state; if DTR is off, the modem terminates the line connection and returns
to the asynchronous command state.
Stopping AutoSync. AutoSync operation is stopped upon loss of carrier or the on-to-off
transition of DTR. Loss of carrier will cause the modem to return to the asynchronous command
state. An on-to-off transition of DTR will cause the modem to return to the asynchronous
command state and either not terminate the line connection (&D1 active) or terminate the line
connection (any other &Dn command active).
&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
Selects asynchronous operation in normal mode (speed buffering). The value 110b is written to
S27 bits 3, 1, and 0, respectively.
Result Codes:
1048
OK
n = 0 to 6.

&Rn - RTS/CTS Option
This selects how the modem controls CTS. CTS operation is modified if hardware flow control is selected (see &K
command). The parameter value, if valid, is written to S21 bit 2.
&R0
In sync mode, CTS tracks the state of RTS; the RTS-to-CTS delay is defined by S26. In async
mode, CTS is normally ON and will turn OFF only if required by flow control.
&R1
In sync mode, CTS is always ON (RTS transitions are ignored). tracks the state of RTS; In async
mode, CTS is normally ON and will turn OFF only if required by flow control.

&Tn - Test and Diagnostics
The modem will perform selected test and diagnostic functions according to the parameter supplied. A test can be run only
when in an asynchronous operation in non-error-correction mode (normal or direct mode). To terminate a test in progress,
the escape sequence must be entered first, except for parameters 7 and 8 (see Section 3.1.3). If S18 is non-zero, a test will
terminate automatically after the time specified by S18 and display the OK message. Note: For tests 3, 6, and 7, a
connection between the two modems must first be established.

modem is allowed. Sets S23 bit 0.
&T5
Disables digital loopback acknowledgment for remote request, i.e., an RDL request from a remote
modem is denied. Clears S23 bit 0. (Default.)
&T6
Requests a remote digital loopback (RDL), V.54 Loop 2, without self test. If no connection exists,
ERROR is returned. Sets S16 bit 4 when the test is in progress. The CONNECT XXXX message
is displayed upon the start of the test.
&T7
Requests a remote digital loopback (RDL),V.54 Loop 2, with self test. (In self test, a test pattern is
looped back and checked by the modem.) If no connection exists, ERROR is returned. When the
test is terminated either via expiration of S18, or via the &T0 or H command, the number of
detected errors is reported to the DTE. Sets S16 bit 5 when the test is in progress.
&T8
Initiates local analog loopback, V.54 Loop 3, with self test. (In self test, a test pattern is looped
back and checked by the modem.) If a connection exists, the modem hangs up before the test is
initiated. When the test is terminated either via expiration of S18, or via the &T0 or H command,
the number of detected errors is reported to the DTE. Sets S16 bit 6 when the test is in progress.

%En - Enable/Disable Line Quality Monitor and Auto-Retrain or Fallback/Fall Forward
Controls whether or not the modem will automatically monitor the line quality and request a retrain (%E1) or fall back when
line quality is insufficient or fall forward when line quality is sufficient (%E2). The parameter value, if valid, is written to S41
bits 2 and 6.
If enabled, the modem attempts to retrain for a maximum of 30 seconds.
%E0
Disable line quality monitor and auto-retrain.
%E1
Enable line quality monitor and auto-retrain.
%E2
Enable line quality monitor and fallback/fall forward. (Default.)
Result Codes:
OK
n = 0, 1, or 2.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Fallback/Fall Forward. When %E2 is active, the modem monitors the line quality (EQM). When line quality is insufficient,
the modem will initiate a rate renegotiation to a lower speed within the V.34/V.32 bis/V.32 (RC288) or V.32 bis/V.32 (RC144)
modulation speeds. The modem will keep falling back within the current modulation if necessary until the speed reaches
2400 bps (V.34) or 4800 bps (V.32). Below this rate, the modem will only do retrains if EQM thresholds are exceeded. If the
EQM is sufficient for at least one minute, the modem will initiate a rate renegotiation to a higher speed within the current
modulation speeds. The rate renegotiations will be done without a retrain if a V.32 bis connection is established.
Speeds attempted during fallback/fall forward are those shown to be available in the rate sequences exchanged during the
initial connection. Fallback/fall forward is available in error correction and normal modes, but not in direct mode or
synchronous mode with external clocks.
%L - Line Signal Level
Returns a value which indicates the received signal level. The value returned is a direct indication (DAA dependent) of the
receive level at the MDP, not at the telephone line connector. For example, 009 = -9 dBm, 043 = -43 dBm, and so on.
Result Codes:
OK
%Q - Line Signal Quality
Reports the line signal quality (DAA dependent). Returns the higher order byte of the EQM value. Based on the EQM value,

3.2.7 AT** Command
** - 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
downloader function must be provided in modem MCU firmware initially installed in external flash memory, i.e., the
downloader does not support the programming of blank 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 cannot be reprogrammed 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** or 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 or an equivalent process (ensure that all ASCII translation 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 firmware hex file (e.g., RC288ACi.S37)
from the host computer to the modem RAM using an 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 control (the flash download uses both Xon/Xoff and RTS/CTS flow control). If the
wrong format was used, reinitiate the upoad 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.

3.7 CELLULAR COMMANDS
The Direct Connect Modem allows a direct interface to most cellular telephones eliminating the need for other intelligent
interfaces.
Landline modems operate with the telephone system by either going off hook detecting dialtone and the dialing the
telephone number using pulses or DTMF digits, or detecting the RING signal and answering the call. Intelligent cellular
phone interfaces connect between the modems RJ-11 socket and the cellular phone's data interface. The interface provides
landline features to the modem (line current, dial tone, ringing, etc.), and translates the modem's signals (off hook, DTMF
digits, etc.) into signals that the cellular phone understands. Once connected the interface acts as a transparent link between
the modem and the cellular telephone.
The Direct Connect Modem interfaces directly to the cellular phone's data interface and provides direct control over the
cellular phones operation. For example if the user were to instruct the modem to dial using the ATDTnnnn command the
modem would relay the telephone number and the SEND command to the cellular phone over the data interface.
The modem connects to the cellular phone using a special cable which must be purchased separately. A different cable is
required for each cellular phone or make of cellular phones. Below is a block diagram of a typical Direct Connect Cellular
Modem (based on AK14-X270 Rev 4 reference schematic).
3.7.1 Cellular Phone Drivers
The data interface to cellular phones differs between manufacturers and models and requires a unique cellular phone driver
for each phone or group of phones. Therefore the particular phone driver needs to be downloaded from the PC into the
modem's RAM before the modem can be used directly with the cellular phone. If a driver is not loaded the modem will
operate as a normal landline modem.
3.7.2 Cellular Commands
^C2 - Download Cellular Phone Driver
The ^C2 command initiates the cellular phone driver download function. Upon receipt of the command, the modem issues
the "OK" message. The user then performs an ASCII download of the driver (in .S37 format) from the host to the modem,
typically using a communications software package (with transmit pacing turned off).

The modem reports the identification of the loaded cellular phone driver in response to the ^I command. The response is
dependent upon the driver.

bit 7
1=

Result Codes (typical):

OK
Application of ^T6 Status Byte
The information obtained by issuing a AT^T6 can be used to determine if the loading of the cellular phone driver is necessary
by the host software. A download is not necessary if landline (or no cable) is connected to the modem, in which ^T6 will
return a value of 0 (bit 7=0). A download is necessary when a cellular cable is detected (implied cellular phone is also
connected), in which ^T6 will return a value of 128 (bit 7=1). Once a driver is downloaded to the modem, it will be able to
operate in landline or cellular mode based on detection of a cellular cable.
3.7.3 Operation
Once the driver is loaded and the modem is connected to the cellular phone, and the phone is powered on dial/answer
functions will be routed through the phone instead of the landline DAA, i.e., no special commands are needed to place or
answer calls, the same AT commands and software packages that are used for landline communication sessions can be
used. If the cellular phone is not connected or is powered off dial/answer functions will be routed through the landline DAA,
and if V.42 bis connection is established the cellular phone driver will be purged so that the V.42 bis dictionaries can be
increased to their normal size.
While the modem is being used with a cellular phone it will respond with normal result messages with the following
differences in meaning:
NO DIALTONE
Indicates that cellular service is not currently available.
RING
Indicates that the cellular phone is receiving an incoming call.
Modem Configuration
Modem performance will be improved by modification of your standard configuration; it is recommended that the landline
modem also be EC compatible for reliable communications.

AT&F -SEC=1,18
MNP10-EC is automatically enabled on the cell side when a cellular phone driver is loaded and the modem firmware detects
that the cellular phone is attached, also in the V.34 products the modem is automatically configured to force the connection
in V.32bis mode.
On the cell side the transmit level is defined in the cellular driver, therefore it is not necessary to set the level using the ATSEC command.
In the V.34 products on the landline side if MNP10-EC is disabled (AT-SEC=0), it will automatically be enabled if another
V.34 modem is calling (V.8 bis/V.8 signal indicates cellular capability). No particular modulation will be chosen on the land
line side. Therefore if a landside V.34 modem is NOT going to receive any calls from a V.32bis MNP10-EC modem it can be
configured using AT&F -SEC=0,18 , otherwise use the configuration above.

AT+MS=10,1,4800,12000 would force V.32bis and limit the speed between 4800 and 12000 bps). To allow V.34 modulation
use AT+MS=11,1,minspeed,maxspeed (e.g. AT+MS=11,1,4800,19200 would allow V.34 speeds between 4800 and 19200).
When MNP10-EC is enabled in V.34 modes the symbol rate is limited to 3000, therefore the maximum speed would be
26.4K however the initial connect speed is limited to 21600.
If an AXCELL™ solution is used, a transmit level of -10dBm is required, therefore the following init string should be used:
Cell Site
AT &F -SEC=1,10
It is recommended that systems be set up if possible with separate modems to receive calls from other land based modems
and cellular modems. This is so that land based users that experience high network attenuation do not have connection
problems when communicating to modems configured for cellular operation.
The above configurations are the minimum additional AT commands may be issued to change the result messages etc,
AT&F is used to ensure that the modem is in a know state.
Table 3-2 summarizes the mode and resulting transmit levels for both modems depending on their configuration.
Fax Configuration
It is recommended that fax transmissions be configured to operate at 9600 bps in V.17 mode or 7200 bps in V.29 mode.
Cellular Phone Configuration
To achieve the best operational performance, a cellular data connection should be attempted in a location where adequate
signal strength is observed for the cellular phone. This condition can be easily monitored on some phones with signal
strength indicator. In locations where even voice calls are unreliable, data connections should not be attempted. Under some
circumstances a special high gain antenna may improve performance.
Additional information regarding the use of the cellular phone and cellular network should be obtained from the service
provider and or cellular phone manufacturer.

3.8 AT COMMAND RESULT CODES
The modem responds to commands from the DTE and to activity on the line by signalling to the DTE in the form of result
codes. The result codes that the modem can send are described below.
Two forms of each result code are available: long-form, an English-like "verbose" response, and short-form, a data-like
numeric response (included in parentheses following the long-form). The long-form code is preceded and terminated by the
sequence < CR> < LF>. The short-form is terminated by < CR>, only with no preceding sequence.
If result messages are suppressed, nothing is returned to the DTE. The long-form results codes can be modified by the OEM
through the ConfigurACE Configuration Utility Program. (See ConfigurACE description.)
OK (0)
The OK code is returned by the modem to acknowledge execution of a command line.
CONNECT (1)
The modem will send this result code upon connecting when:
1.
The line speed is 300 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the line speed to the DTE upon connecting, or
2.
The DTE speed is 300 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the DTE speed to the DTE upon connecting, or
3.
The range of result code responses is restricted by the X command such that no speed reporting is allowed.
RING (2)
The modem sends this result code when incoming ringing is detected on the line. What qualifies as a ring signal is
determined by country-dependent parameters, modifiable through ConfigurACE.
When cellular interface is selected, RING indicates that the cellular phone is receiving an incoming call.
NO CARRIER (3)
The modem sends this result code when attempting to establish a call if:
1.
Ringback is detected and later ceases but no carrier is detected within the period of time determined by register S7, or
2.
No ringback is detected within the period of time determined by register S7.
This result code is also used when the modem auto-disconnects due to loss of carrier.
Under X0, if busy tone detection is enforced, this result code is used as a response to the detection of busy or circuit busy.
Under X0, if dial tone detection is enforced or selected, this result code is used to indicate that dial tone has not been
detected.
ERROR (4)
The modem returns this result code if the command line contains a syntax error or it is unable to execute a command
contained in the command line. It is issued if a command does not exist or if the parameter supplied is outside the permitted
range.
Under X0, X1, X2, and X3, this result is used instead of DELAYED and BLACKLISTED.
CONNECT 1200 (5)
For X1, X2, X3, and X4, the modem sends this result code when:
1.
The line speed is 1200 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the line speed to the DTE upon connecting, or
2.
The DTE speed is 1200 bps and the modem has been instructed to report the DTE speed to the DTE upon connecting.
(Also, see the W command.)
NO DIALTONE (6)
For X2 and X4, the modem sends this result code if it has been instructed to wait for dial tone during dialing but none is
received.
When cellular phone interface is selected, NO DIALTONE indicates that cellular service is not currently available.

3.9 AUDIOSPAN AND DSVD COMMANDS
AudioSpan and DSVD are two technologies that allow simultaneous voice and data operation using a Rockwell modem
connected to a telephone line. AudioSpan and DSVD implementations differ in the manner that voice and modem data are
combined. Voice and data channels are combined in the analog domain for AudioSpan and in the digital domain for DSVD.
Establishing a AudioSpan or DSVD connection is analogous to establishing a regular data modem connection. Initiate the
call using normal dialing (ATD) and answering (ATA) procedures. The modem can switch from a regular phone conversation
into AudioSpan or DSVD mode and back to phone conversation. A handset, headset, or microphone/speaker can be used
for voice communication during AudioSpan or DSVD mode.
AudioSpan operates in normal (non-error corrected) or error-corrected/compression mode (MNP 5 or V.42 bis depending on
the error correction settings of the modems). The DTE rate must be equal to or greater than the anticipated DCE connection
speed. In general, DTE speed of 38400 bps or higher should be used.
3.9.1 Commands Supported by Both AudioSpan and DSVD
-SMS= x, y, z, t - Select AudioSpan/DSVD Mode
The x parameter selects Data, AudioSpan, or DSVD mode, or enables automatic mode selection. The y, z, t parameters are
optional and are required only if the user wishes to control connection speeds. For example, AT-SMS=2 is sufficient to
enable SVD.

Notes
AudioSpan audio quality is dependent upon modulation mode, data rate and telephone line quality. Some guidelines are:
1.
Higher quality telephone lines provide better audio quality than impaired telephone lines.
2.
A lower data speed with audio provides better audio quality than higher data speed with audio. For example, a
ML288/9600 connection will be audibly superior to a ML288/14400 connection.
3.
For identical data speed with audio using different modulations (e.g., ML144 vs. ML288), the audio quality at ML288 will
be superior. For example, a ML288/9600 will be audibly superior to a ML144/9600 connection.
Examples
1. AT -SMS=2 selects AudioSpan Mode (the y, z, and t parameters are not required).
2.
AT -SMS=2,4800,9600 selects AudioSpan Mode, specifies the minimum data speed with audio of 4800 bps, and

If the selected modulation is not supported by the modem,
ERROR is reported and the x parameter is not changed. If the
remote modem does not support the selected modulation, the
modem disconnects.
1=
Enable AudioSpan automodulation The modem starts with the AudioSpan modulation specified by the
x parameter and falls back from ML288, to ML144, to V.61, or to
data mode (e.g., V.34 or v.32 bis) depending on the selected x
parameter, the remote modem capability, and line conditions.
(Default.)
Notes
1. The AT-SQS parameters should remain at default unless a particular modulation is preferred.
2.
For identical data speed with audio using different modulations (e.g., ML144 vs. ML288), the audio quality at ML288 will
be superior. For example, a ML288/9600 will be audibly superior to a ML144/9600 connection.
Examples
1. AT -SQS=2,1 enables AudioSpan automodulation starting with ML288 modulation.
2.

3.10 SYNCHRONOUS ACCESS MODE
3.10.1 Synchronous Access Mode Commands
Three commands support Synchronous Access Mode:
+ES
Enables and disables Synchronous Access Mode in the client or central site modem
+ESA
Configures the operation of the Synchronous Access Submode
+ ITF
Selects Transmit Flow Control Thresholds
Enabling Synchronous Access Mode enables the use of the 8-bit command characters defined in Table 9/V.80 of the Draft
ITU-T Recommendation V.80 (DATA COMMUNICATION OVER THE TELEPHONE NETWORK; In-Band DCE Control and
Synchronous Data Modes for Asynchronous DTE).
+ES - Enable Synchronous Access Mode
This extended-format command specifies the initial requested mode of operation when the modem is operating as the
originator, optionally specifies the acceptable fallback mode of operation when the modem is operating as the originator, and
optionally specifies the acceptable fallback mode of operation when the modem is operating as the answerer. The command
format is:
+ES=[[,[,]]]
This extended-format compound parameter is used to control the manner of operation of the V.42 protocol in the modem (if
present). It accepts three numeric subparameters:

Specifies the initial requested mode of operation when the modem is operating as the originator.
The options are:
Initiate V.42 with Detection Phase. (Default.)
Initiate Synchronous Access Mode when connection is completed, and Data State is
entered.
Initiate Frame Tunneling Mode when connection is completed, and Data State is entered.

Specifies the acceptable fallback mode of operation when the modem is operating as the
originator. This subparameter should not be commanded.

Specifies the acceptable fallback mode of operation when the modem is operating as the
answerer. The options are:
Error control optional (either LAPM or Alternative acceptable); if error control not
established, maintain DTE-modem data rate and use local buffering and flow control
during non-error-control operation. (Default.)
Initiate Synchronous Access Mode when connection is completed, and Data State is
entered.
Initiate Frame Tunneling Mode when connection is completed, and Data State is entered.
Examples:

+ESA - Configure Synchronous Access Submode
The operation of the Synchronous Access sub-Mode is configured by the +ESA parameter. The command format is:
+ESA=[[,[,[,[,[,[,[,]]]]]]]]
This extended-format compound parameter is used to control the manner of operation of the Synchronous Access Mode in
the modem. It accepts six numeric subparameters:

Specifies the bit sequence transmitted by the modem when a transmit data buffer underrun
condition occurs, while operating in Transparent sub-Mode. The options are:

In Transparent sub-Mode, modem transmits 8-bit SYN sequence on idle. Modem
receiver does not hunt for synchronization sequence (default and fixed).
Specifies the bit sequence transmitted by the modem when a transmit data buffer underrun
condition occurs immediately after a flag, while operating in Framed sub-Mode. The options are:
In Framed sub-Mode, modem transmits HDLC flags on idle (default and fixed).
 Specifies the actions undertaken by the modem when a transmit data buffer underrun or overrun
condition occurs immediately after a non-flag octet, while operating in Framed sub-Mode.

1048
In Framed sub-Mode, modem transmits abort on underrun in middle of frame (default).
In Framed sub-Mode, DCE transmits a flag on underrun in middle of frame, and notifies
DTE of underrun or overrun.
Specifies whether or not, in V.34 half-duplex operation, additional procedures besides those
specified in § 12/V.34 shall be performed by the modem when switching from primary channel to
secondary channel operation, and vice versa. This subparameter should not be commanded.
3-59
AT Command Reference Manual


Specifies the CRC polynomial used while operating in Framed sub-Mode. The options are:
CRC generation and checking disabled (default).
In Framed sub-Mode, the 16-bit CRC is generated by the modem in the transmit
direction, and checked by the modem in the receive direction.
Specifies if Non Return to Zero Inverted (NRZI) encoding is to be used by the modem for
transmit and receive data. The options are:
NZRI encoding and decoding disabled (default and fixed).
,  Specifies the octet value(s) to be used while performing character-oriented framing.  is to

+ ITF - Transmit Flow Control Thresholds
The +ITF command determines the flow control thresholds used by the modem for transmit data from the DTE. The
command format is:
+ITF=[[,[,]]]
This optional compound parameter allows the DTE to determine the input buffer size in the modem for data on circuit 103
(transmit data) from the DTE, to control the threshholds used for flow control of such data, and to control how often the
modem reports to the DTE the number of octets in this buffer. Note that the DTE can adjust its own threshholds for flow
control of data on circuit 104 (received data) from the modem.

Determines the threshhold, in octets, above which the modem will generate a flow off signal.
Applicable in Synchronous Access and Frame Tunneling modes. Default  value is 255.
For the  and  subparameters, the input buffer is assumed to reside between the
modem’s V.24 interface and the Synchronous Access protocol layer; i.e., the buffer count
includes all octets, including EM codes, received from the DTE, with the exception of DC1 and
DC3 if these are used to signal  flow control.
The modem returns the ERROR result code if the DTE specifies that the  subparameter be
set to a value less than or equal to the  subparameter; in this case, the current parameter
value settings are not modified.

Determines the threshhold, in octets, below which the modem will generate a flow on signal.
Applicable in Synchronous Access and Frame Tunneling modes. Default  value is 64.
 Not supported. A fixed value of zero is used and reported.
Reporting Selected Options
The modem sends a string of information text to the DTE consisting of selected options in response to the following
command:
+ITF?
The response is:
+ITF: ,,
Example:
+ITF?
+ITF: 255,64,0
Default values
Reporting Supported Options
The modem sends a string of information text to the DTE consisting of supported options in response to the following
command:
+ITF=?
The response is:
+ITF: (list of supported  values),(list of supported  values),(list of supported  values)
Example:
+ITF=?
+ITF: (0-255),( 0-255),(0)
The maximum reported  value is the input transmit data buffer level at which the modem signals a transmit data
overrun indication to the DTE.

4. S-REGISTERS
The S-Registers are summarized in Table 4-1 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. Registers or register fields quoted as “reserved” are reserved for current or future use by the firmware, or are
permanently overridden by PTT limitations. For the latter, control of the equivalent functionality is available with ConfigurACE
Call Progress and Blacklisting options.
All bit-mapped registers are read-only. The appropriate AT command which controls the relevant bits in the S-Register
should be used to change the value.
4.1 FACTORY DEFAULTS
The factory default values are stored in ROM and are loaded into the active configuration at power up or by the ATZn
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 defaults shown are those used by Rockwell in factory profiles zero and one. These may be overwritten by the OEM with
ConfigurACE prior to placing the firmware in PROM. Minimum and maximum values may also be imposed by ConfigurACE
in response to country PTT requirements.
The default values shown in Table 4-1 may vary by modem firmware configuration. Consult the MCU firmware release notes
for exact configuration.
The factory default values may be loaded at any time by entering the &Fn command.

S2 - Escape Character
S2 holds the decimal value of the ASCII character used as the escape character. The default value corresponds to an ASCII
'+'. A value over 127 disables the escape process, i.e., no escape character will be recognized.
Range:
0-255, ASCII decimal
Default: 43 (+)
S3 - Carriage Return Character
Sets the command line and result code terminator character. Pertains to asynchronous operation only.
Range:
0-127, ASCII decimal
Default: 13 (Carriage Return)
S4 - Line Feed Character
Sets the character recognized as a line feed. Pertains to asynchronous operation only. The Line Feed control character is
output after the Carriage Return control character if verbose result codes are used.
Range:
0-127, ASCII decimal
Default: 10 (Line Feed)
S5 - Backspace Character
Sets the character recognized as a backspace. Pertains to asynchronous operation 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:
0-32, ASCII decimal
Default: 8 (Backspace)

S6 - Wait Time for Dial Tone Before Blind Dialing, or After “W” Dial Modifier (W-Class Models)
1.
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait before starting to dial after going off-hook when blind
dialing. This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country restrictions. The “Wait for
Dial Tone” call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6.
2.
For W-class models, S6 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for dial tone when encountering a
“W” dial modifier before returning NO DIAL TONE result code.
The modem always pauses for a minimum of 2 seconds, even if the value of S6 is less than 2 seconds.
Range:
2-255 seconds
Default: 2
S7 - Wait Time For Carrier After Dial, For Silence, or For Dial Tone After “W” Dial Modifier (US Models)
1.
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for carrier before hanging up. The timer is started when
the modem finishes dialing (originate), or 2 seconds after going off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset
upon detection of answer tone if allowed by country restrictions.
2.
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that modem will wait for silence when encountering the @ dial modifier before
continuing with the next dial string parameter.
3.
For US models, S7 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for dial tone when encountering a “W”
dial modifier before continuing with the next dial string parameter.
Range:
1-255 seconds
Default: 50
S8 - Pause Time For Dial Delay
Sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when the “,” dial modifier is encountered in the dial string.
Range:
0-255 seconds
Default: 2
S9 - Carrier Detect Response Time
Sets the time, in tenths of a second, that the carrier must be present before the modem considers it valid and turns on
RLSD. As this time is increased, there is less chance to detect a false carrier due to noise from the telephone line.
Range:
1-255 tenths of a second
Default: 6 (0.6 second)
S10 - Lost Carrier To Hang Up Delay
Sets the length of time, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits before hanging up after a loss of carrier. This allows for
a temporary carrier loss without causing the local modem to disconnect. When register 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 register S10 minus the value in register S9.
Therefore, the S10 value must be greater than the S9 value or else the modem disconnects before it recognizes the carrier.
Range:
1-255 tenths of a second
Default: 14 (1.4 seconds)
S11 - DTMF Tone Duration
Sets the duration of tones in DTMF dialing (US models only). This value has no effect on pulse dialing.
For W-class models, this parameter is a country parameter loaded by ConfigurACE.
Range:

S38 - Delay Before Forced Hang Up
This register specifies the delay between the modem's receipt of the H command to disconnect (or ON-to-OFF transition of
DTR if the modem is programmed to follow the signal), and the disconnect operation. Applicable to error-correction
connection only. This register can be used to ensure that data in the modem buffer is sent before the modem disconnects.
1.
If S38 is set to a value between 0 and 254, the modem will wait that number of seconds for the remote modem to
acknowledge all data in the modem buffer before disconnecting. If time expires before all data is sent, the NO CARRIER
result code will be issued to indicate that data has been lost. If all data is transmitted prior to time-out, the response to
the H0 command will be OK.
2.
If S38 is set to 255, the modem does not time-out and continues to attempt to deliver data in the buffer until the

5.1 FAX I/O PROCESSING
The fax I/O interface supports asynchronous serial and parallel interfaces. The interface rate is 19200 bps. The character
format is 8 bits data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Start and stop elements are removed from the transmit data and added to the
receive data. Both transmit and receive data are buffered. Flow control using XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) or RTS/CTS is
provided.
Unique control character strings are identified, filtered, or reinserted into the I/O data stream. These control characters and
their resultant action are described below.
5.1.1 DTE-to-Modem Transmit Data Stream
Characters Detected
Action Taken

Delete  characters.

Recognize as a string terminator and take appropriate action.

Replace with single  character.
5.1.2 Modem-to-DTE Receive Data Stream
Characters Detected

Action Taken
Insert extra  ahead of .
The modem also identifies the end of a frame by inserting  into the data stream after the FCS bytes.
5.1.3 Fax Mode Selection

5.1.4 Fax Origination
Origination of fax calls is made using the ATD command. Upon completion of the dial function, a calling tone at 1100 Hz is
transmitted, with a cadence of 0.5 seconds on and 3 seconds off. The modem automatically enters mode +FRH=3 and
sends the CONNECT message to the DTE when FSK flags are detected from the remote.

AT Command Reference Manual
5.1.5 Fax Answering
Answering of fax calls is identical to answering of data calls with the exception that the modem enters the fax handshaking
mode instead of the data handshaking mode after going off-hook. If +FAE=0, the modem, after sending answer tone,
automatically enters fax mode (+FTH=3), sends the CONNECT message to the DTE, and starts sending FSK flags. If
+FAE=1, the modem determines whether the caller is a data modem or fax modem and sends the DATA or FAX result code,
respectively, to the DTE.
5.1.6 Fax Control Transmission
Fax control transmission is initiated by the +FTH=n command. After this command is issued, the modem generates the
CONNECT message and transmits carrier in the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. The modem then
transmits HDLC flags for a minimum of 1 second. The modem continues to transmit the HDLC flags until it receives a
character from the DTE.
When characters are received from the DTE, the modem adds start and end flags, performs zero-bit insertion, generates
FCS, and deletes  character pairs before transmitting the characters to the remote fax machine. Each
 sequence is transmitted as a single .  is considered as the end of frame marker and is
not transmitted. All data received from the DTE after  is ignored by the modem until the modem generates
either the CONNECT, OK, or ERROR result code.
If no more data is in the transmit buffer and the final bit was a 1 (bit 4 of the second byte received from the DTE), the
modem generates the OK result code and returns to the command mode. If the final bit was a 0, the modem generates the
CONNECT message and waits for further data from the DTE while transmitting HDLC flags. If no more data is received
before 5 seconds elapse, the modem drops carrier, goes on-hook, and generates the ERROR result code.
5.1.7 Fax Control Reception
Fax control reception is initiated using the AT+FRH=n command. After this command is issued, the modem looks for carrier
in the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. If no carrier is detected before the period of time specified by
register S7 expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER message and returns to command mode. If a carrier is
detected that is not the one specified by the parameter n, the modem generates the +FCERROR message and returns to
the command mode. If the specified carrier is detected, the modem generates the CONNECT message and enters the
HDLC receive mode.
In HDLC receive mode, the modem receives HDLC frames from the remote fax machine, strips the flags, performs zero-bit
deletion, performs error checking, and handles  character pairs before passing the data to the DTE. The modem
prefixes each  character with another  character before sending it to the DTE. After the last byte in the frame,
the modem sends  to the DTE marking the end of the frame. The modem then generates either the OK
message if no errors were detected or the ERROR message if errors were detected (FCS is incorrect), and returns to
command mode.
While in command mode, the modem continues to receive data in the selected modulation scheme, and sends the data after
sending the CONNECT message to the DTE when the DTE reissues the +FRH command with the same parameter. If the
DTE issues the +FRH command with a different parameter, the modem clears all buffers and proceeds as described
previously.
If carrier is lost while in command mode and the DTE reissues the +FRH command with the same parameter, and there is
no data in the buffer, the modem sends the ERROR result code to the DTE and returns to the command mode. If there is
data in the buffer, the modem sends the next frame of buffered data to the DTE, followed by , and either the
ERROR result code if errors were detected or the OK result code if no errors were detected. The modem then returns to
command mode.
The modem concludes an error is detected if carrier is lost for any period of time during or before the reception of a frame. If
carrier is lost for a time period longer than the time specified by the register S10, the modem finishes delivering the data in
the receive buffer (if any) to the DTE, sends , generates the ERROR message, and returns to command
mode. All subsequent data received from the remote is discarded.
If the modem detects a frame abort sequence (seven consecutive ones with no zero insertion) while it is waiting for a frame
beginning flag (it was receiving HDLC flags), it will wait for the HDLC flags again until either carrier is lost, or the DTE aborts
the process by sending an abort character or by dropping DTR with &D2 in effect. If the frame abort sequence is detected
while the modem is receiving a frame it finishes delivering the data in the receive buffer (if any) to the DTE, sends
5-2
1048
AT Command Reference Manual
, generates the ERROR message, and returns to command mode. The modem keeps looking for HDLC flags
followed by more data from the remote, with the selected modulation scheme.
If the modem detects a receive buffer overflow condition, it concludes that there was an FCS error in that frame. The modem
will receive more frames only if a starting flag is detected and there is room in the receive buffer. If a starting flag is detected
and there is no room in the buffer, the modem discards all data in that frame.
If the modem receives any character from the DTE after the +FRH command (except flow control characters if software flow
control is in effect), or if the modem detects a high-to-low transition of the DTR signal while &D1 is in effect, it sends
 to the DTE, generates OK result code, and returns to command mode. The receive buffer is cleared and all
data received from the remote is discarded. If the modem detects a DTR drop while &D2 is in effect, it goes on-hook, sends
 to the DTE, generates OK result code, and returns to command mode. If the modem detects a DTR drop
while &D3 is in effect, the modem performs a warm reset.
5.1.8 Fax Data Transmission
Fax data transmission is initiated by the AT+FTM=n command. After this command is issued, the modem generates the
CONNECT message and transmits carrier in the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. The modem then
transmits constant 1 bits for a minimum of one second and continues to transmit constant 1 bits until it receives a character
from the DTE.
When data is received from the DTE, the modem deletes start and stop bits and deletes all  character pairs
before transmitting the data to the remote. Each  sequence is transmitted as a single .  is
considered as the end of stream marker, and is not transmitted. All data received from the DTE after the  is
ignored by the modem until the modem generates either the CONNECT, OK, or ERROR result code.
If no more data is in the transmit buffer, and the last transmitted character was not an ASCII NULL, the modem generates
the OK result code and returns to the command mode. If the last character transmitted was an ASCII NULL, the modem
generates the CONNECT message to the DTE and waits for further data from the DTE while transmitting NULLs to the
remote. If more data is received before five seconds elapse, the modem continues to transmit the data as described in the
previous paragraph. If five seconds elapse and no data is received from the DTE, the modem drops carrier, goes on-hook,
and generates the ERROR result code.
5.1.9 Fax Data Reception
Fax data reception is initiated using the AT+FRM=n command. After this command is issued, the modem looks for carrier in
the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. If no carrier is detected before the period of time specified by register
S7 expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER message and returns to command mode. If a V.21 carrier is detected
when a high speed carrier is expected, the modem generates the +FCERROR message and returns to the command mode.
If the specified carrier is detected, the modem generates the CONNECT message and enters the data receive mode.
While in data receive mode, the modem receives data from the remote, adds start and stop bits, and handles 
character pairs before passing the data to the DTE. The modem prefixes each  character with another 
character before sending it to the DTE.
If the modem detects a receive buffer overflow condition, it stops receiving from the remote until there is room in the receive
buffer. The modem informs the DTE of the buffer overflow after it sends to the DTE the last character that was stored in the
buffer before the overflow occurred.
If the modem receives any character from the DTE after the +FRM command (except flow control characters if software flow
control is in effect), or if the modem detects a high-to-low transition of the DTR signal while &D1 is in effect, it sends
 to the DTE, generates the OK result code, and returns to command mode. The receive buffer is cleared and
all data received from the remote is discarded. If loss of DTR is detected while &D2 is in effect, the modem goes on-hook,
sends  followed by OK result code to the DTE, and returns to command mode. If the modem detects a DTR
drop while &D3 is in effect, the modem performs a warm reset.

6. FAX CLASS 2 COMMANDS
The fax class 2 commands are summarized in Table 6-1.
6.1 COMMAND SYNTAX AND GUIDELINES
6.1.1 DTE Commands
The ISO 646 character set (CCITT T.50 International Alphabet 5, American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is
used for the issuance of commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits of each character are used for commands or
parameters; the high order bit is ignored. Upper case characters are equivalent to lower case characters.
For Phase C data transmission or reception, all 8 bits are needed.
DTE Command Lines
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the modem (DCE) while the modem is in a command state. A
command line has a prefix, a body, and a terminator. Each command line (with the exception of the A/ command) must
begin with the character sequence AT and must be terminated by a carriage return. Commands entered in upper case or
lower case are accepted, but both the A and T must be of the same case, i.e., "AT" = ASCII 065, 084 or “at” = ASCII 097,
116. The body is a string of commands restricted to printable ASCII characters (032 - 126). Space characters (ASCII 032)
and control characters other than CR (ASCII 013) and BS (ASCII 010) in the command string are ignored. The default
terminator is the ASCII  character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored. The command line interpretation
begins upon receipt of the carriage return character.
Facsimile Command Syntax
After the "AT" or "at" prefix, facsimile commands use extended syntax. Each command is preceded by the “+F” character
and consists of single characters and a decimal parameter (if applicable) terminated by the semicolon “:” character (ASCII
059) or by the  that terminated the command line. A missing decimal parameter is evaluated as 0.
For example, the command to instruct the modem to automatically answer a data or fax call and also enable reception is:
AT+FAE=0; +FCR 1 
Basic data mode and fax service class mode select commands are:
AT+FCLASS=0 
for Data Mode
AT+FCLASS=1 
for Service Class 1 Fax
AT+FCLASS=2 
for Service Class 2 Fax
In Class 2, the DCE makes and terminates calls, manages the communication session and negotiates (T.30 protocol) and
transports the image date to DTE. The T.4 protocol management of image data, etc., is done by DTE.
The response to
AT+FCLASS= 0
in Data Mode
AT+FCLASS=2
in Service Class 2 Fax
or
is
OK
The service class may be set by the DTE from the choices available using the “+FCLASS=” command.
General Rules
1.
+Fnnn commands must be entered completely, otherwise an ERROR response is sent.
2.
All response messages are preceded and followed by . Multiple response commands (e.g., +FDIS: +FCSI:
and +FDCS:) will, therefore, appear to a have a blank line between them.

3.
Fax Class 2 commands can be separated by the “:” character. The “;” character can be omitted if desired. Note that
non-data commands cannot be separated by the “;” which is allowed as a dial modifier.

4.
All Class 2 commands are assumed to be the final command on a command line. Additional characters will be ignored.
5.
An ERROR message will be generated if any of the following conditions occur:
a.
A Class 1 command is received while in Class 2.
b.
A Class 2 command is received while in Class 1.
c.
A Class 1 or Class 2 action command is received while in data modem mode.
d.
A Class 2 read-only parameter is given the “=” form of a +F command (e.g., AT+FAXERR=5).
e.
A Class 2 action command is given the inappropriate “=” or “=?” form (e.g., AT+FDR=?).
6.1.2 Serial Port Speed and Flow Control
During fax mode, the DTE-DCE port speed is 19200 bps.
The DCE provides a speed buffer of 1024 bytes and provides the DC1/DC3 (XON/XOFF) or RTS/CTS method of controlling
the data into the buffer. This flow control is controlled by the &K3 or &K4 command.
This method of data flow control is available only for DTE to DCE direction of data. There is no provision for data flow control
from DCE to DTE.
Data Stream Termination
The DCE exchanges streams of data with the DTE while executing data transfer commands. These data streams use the
termination described in Section 3.2/ISO 2111.
The ASCII  character (016) is used as a special character to shield special characters. The  character
pair (<106><003>) is used to mark the end of a stream. The following patterns are used:
any data...
end of stream
any data...
single  in data
any data...
delete 
DTE to DCE Streams
The DCE filters the data stream from the DTE, and removes all character pairs beginning with . The DCE recognizes
 as the stream terminator. The DCE recognizes  and reinserts a single  in its place.
The DTE must filter stream data to the DCE, and insert extra  characters ahead of data.
DCE to DTE Streams
The DTE must filter the data stream from the DCE, and remove all character pairs beginning with . The DTE must
recognize  as the stream terminator. The DTE must recognize  and reinsert a single  in its
place.
The DCE filters stream data to the DTE, and inserts extra  characters ahead of data.
6.1.3 Auto Answer
The DCE can answer as a data DCE or as a fax DCE. It can answer the call adaptively, i.e., it can determine whether the
call is 'data' or 'fax'. The +FAA parameter controls this feature. Fax adaptive answer operates only when +FCLASS=0.
AT+FAA=1

6.1.5 Session Status Reporting
The DCE provides reports to the DTE on the status of a session. The DCE provides the following status reports:
1.
Connection and hang up status:
+FCON
+FHNG:<0-255>
2.
Requested DIS session parameters +FDIS:  reports remote facsimile capabilities.
Syntax: +FDIS: VR, BR, WD, LN, DF, EC, BF, ST
3.
+FDCS:  reports the negotiated parameters
4.
Phase C prompts:
XON, XOFF, DC2
5.
Phase C base status reports: depending upon copy quality and related end-of page status:
+FPTS: <1-5>
6.1.6 Procedure Interrupt Negotiation
CCITT allows a station to request a procedure interruption at the end of a page. This request is passed between stations by
the PIP, PIN, and PRI-Q messages.
6.2 SERVICE CLASS 2 IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION
Three commands report identification and selection information. Each of these three commands cause the DCE to send a
message to the DTE. The messages are programmable using ConfigurACE.
6.2.1 +FMFR?, Request Manufacturer Identification
The +FMFR? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE product manufacturer. The default
message is:
ROCKWELL
OK
6.2.2 +FMDL?, Identify Product Model
The +FMDL? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE product model. The default message is
similar to:
RC96XXXAC
OK
6.2.3 +FREV?, Identify Product Revision
The +FREV? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE product model revision number. The
message format is the same as the ATI3 message, e.g.:
VX.XXX-model number
OK
6.3 SERVICE CLASS 2 ACTION COMMANDS
These commands transfer data, and punctuate sessions. They also release specific T.30 messages. All action commands
must be the last command on a command line as indicated by the terminating .
All action commands initiate processes. The modem will not accept other commands from the DTE until the modem issues a
final result code (e.g., OK, CONNECT). The modem will abort the process if it receives any character before the final result
code is issued.

AT Command Reference Manual
6.3.1 ATD, Originate a Call
Syntax: ATD....
The DCE can support a DTE command to originate a call using the ATD command (see Section 3.2).
If this command is unsuccessful, the DCE reports an appropriate failure or error type result code such as NO CARRIER, NO
DIALTONE, or BUSY (see Section 3.3).
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response is:
ATDnn..nn
+FCON
[+FCSI:]
+FDCS:
OK
(go off-hook, dial, get CED)
(DCE detects flags)
The DCE dials, detects call progress, and generates the CNG tone. It then waits for a DIS frame. On detection of the first
Phase B preamble (V.21 ch. 2 modulated by 300 bps HDLC flags), it reports the “+FCON” message to the DTE. The DCE
then switches to 19200 bps.
The DCE generates a DCS frame based on the received DIS frame and on the previously set +FDIS parameter. A +FDT
command from the DTE releases the DCE to transmit that DCS frame.
The DCE reports the initial received T.30 negotiation messages, including the DIS frame and the optional CSI ID string. The
+FDIS: report is followed by the OK final result code.
6.3.2 ATA, Answer a Call
The DCE can support a DTE command to answer an incoming call using the ATA command (see Section 3.2).
The DTE may issue an Answer command in response to an incoming ring.
If the Answer command is unsuccessful, the DCE will report an appropriate failure or error type result code, such as NO
CARRIER (see Section 3.3).
Manual Call Answer
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response (answer and receive) is:
+FCON
[+FTSI:]
+FDCS:
OK
(DTE should issue +FDR command here)
Upon receipt of an Answer command from the DTE, the DCE answers and generates the CED tone. The DCE then
generates a DIS frame (derived from the +FDIS parameter) and hunts for the first T.30 negotiation frames. Upon detection
of the first Phase B preamble (V.21 ch 2 modulated by 300 bps HDLC flags), it reports the “+FCON” message to the DTE.
The DTE should report the initial received T.30 negotiation messages, including the DCS frame. The +FDCS: report will be
followed by the OK final result code.
Automatic Answer
The modem provides for automatic answering of incoming calls. If configured for automatic answer, the modem answers an
incoming call in compliance with T.30, and reports the same messages as described for manual answer.
Connection as a Data Modem
If configured to do so by the +FAA parameter, the DCE will adaptively answer as a facsimile DCE or as a data DCE. If the
DCE answers as a data DCE, it resets the +FCLASS parameter to 0 and issues the appropriate final result code (e.g.,
CONNECT, or NO CARRIER) to the DTE.

AT Command Reference Manual
6.3.3 +FDT, Data Transmission
Syntax:
+FDT 
The +FDT command prefixes Phase C data transmission. When the DCE is ready to accept Phase C data, it issues the
negotiation responses and the CONNECT result code to the DTE.
In Phase B, the +FDT command releases the DCE to proceed with negotiation, and releases the DCS message to the
remote station. In Phase C, the +FDT command resumes transmission after the end of a prior transmit data stream.
Initiate Page Transmission
Phase B DCE polled response:
[+FCSI:]
[+FDIS:]
+FDCS:
CONNECT

- if new CSI received
- if new DIS received
- when ready for data
After placing a call, or after finishing a document exchange, the DTE may command the DCE to re-enter T.30 Phase B to
attempt to negotiate a document transmission.
Continue a Page
CONNECT

The DTE may issue more than one +FDT command for a given page, so that different files may be concatenated together.
These files must have the same format.
Phase C Data Framing
Phase C data must be presented to the DCE in stream mode. The DCE expects Phase C data to follow until it detects
 termination characters. The DCE will filter the stream as described in Section 6.1.2.
The DCE will acknowledge the end of the data by returning the OK result code to the DTE.
If there is data underrun before the next +FDT or +FET= command, the DCE will zero-fill the pad as per T.4 until the Phase
C timeout (+FPHCTO) is reached, or until more data is received. The DCE appends an RTC pattern to the transmit data
after an +FET= command is received from the DTE.
Phase C Data Format
The Phase C data will be of the format specified by the negotiated T.30 DCS frame. The +FDCS: response is
defined in Section 6.4.2. The subparameter values are described in Table 6-2.
The DCE will use the negotiated minimum Scan Time parameter from the DCS frame, and insert sufficient fill bits to pad
each line to the minimum scan time. This is reported in the +FDCS:ST subparameter.
If the DCE finds more than one consecutive EOL in Phase C data (e.g., RTC), it will send only one EOL.
1.
Phase C data must conform to T.4 specifications.
2.
The DTE need not include a final RTC, since the DCE will append an RTC in response to an FET= command.
3.
Some facsimile machines may treat two EOLs as an RTC.
, Escape from Transmission
The DCE may request the DTE to halt Phase C transmission, by sending a cancel  character (024) to the DTE. In this
case, the DTE should terminate Phase C transmission, issue , and wait for the OK response code from the DCE.

6.3.4 +FET, Transmit Page Punctuation
Syntax:
+FET=[,,,]
DCE response:
+FPTS:
- when receive from remote OK
This command is used to punctuate page and document transmission after one or more +FDT commands. This command
generates T.30 Post Page Messages selected by the  code (Table 6-3).
The +FET= command indicates that the current page is complete; no more data will be appended to it. The value
indicates whether there are any additional pages are to be sent and, if so, whether there is a change in any of the document
parameters.
The DTE can command the DCE to generate PRI-Q messages with the +FET= command using ppm codes 4-6
(Table 6-3).
This command must be sent within the time out specified by +FPHCTO after sending Phase C data, or else the DCE will end
the page and document transmission. If the Phase C timeout is reached, the DCE sends an EOP post page message and
terminates the session.
The remote facsimile station should respond to the post page message with a post page response. The DCE will report this
using the +FPTS: response (Table 6-4).
End a Page
The +FET= command causes the DCE to append an RTC (6 EOL) pattern as needed and enter Phase D by sending the
selected T.30 Post Page message.
The +FET=1 (EOM) command signals the remote station that the next document will have a new DCS negotiated; this
causes the session to re-enter Phase B.

6.3.5 +FDR, Begin or Continue Phase C Receive Data
Syntax:
+FDR 
Default value:
3 seconds in some places
The +FDR command initiates transition to Phase C data reception. This can occur after answering, dialing, a document is
received, or a page is received.
The DCE reports the negotiated T.30 parameters, with the remote ID information if available. When the DCE is ready to
commence data transfer, it issues a CONNECT response code. If the DCE cannot resume data transfer because there is no
more data, it responds OK. When the DTE is ready to accept data, it issues an  character (018) to the DCE.
If the DTE issues an  character to the DCE for flow control, the DCE signals the DTE when its buffers are empty by
sending a  (<016><018>) character pair.
When the DCE delivers the last byte of a page, the DCE reports the Page Transfer Status via the +FPTS: response
(Table 6-4).
After a Page Transfer Status Report, the DCE reports the post page message from the remote facsimile station via the
+FET: response (Table 6-3) which signals the intentions of the remote station.
The DCE holds the post page response message to the remote facsimile station (MCF, etc.), represented in the +FPTS
parameter until the next +FDR command. The DTE may modify the +FPTS parameter before issuing the +FDR command
which releases that message. The DTE must issue a +FDR command to release Post Page Messages.
Initiate Document Reception
The +FDR command may be issued in Phase B after an answer command, or in Phase B after a previous document.
The DCE response in stream mode is:

Phase C Data Framing
Phase C data may be presented to the DTE in stream mode. The DCE will transfer a stream of data to the DTE, followed by
the  stream termination characters. The DCE will filter the stream as described in Section 6.1.2.
Phase C Data Format
The received data format is negotiated under T.30 reported by the +FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST response.
The DCE will delete the terminating RTC (6 EOLs) patterns.
, Escape from Reception
From the +FDR command until the end of Phase D Date, the DCE is in a data transfer state, and will not respond to DTE
command characters. The DCE will respond to three ASCII control characters:  (017) and  (019) flow control
characters, and cancel  (024).
Upon receipt of the  character, the DCE will terminate the reporting of received data by sending trailing 
characters to the DTE, and will then execute an implied +FK command in order to conduct an orderly disconnection.
6.3.6 +FK, Session Termination
Syntax:
+FK
The +FK command causes the DCE to terminate the session in an orderly manner. In particular, the DCE will send a DCN
message at the next opportunity and hang up. At the end of the termination process, the DCE will report the +FHNG
response with result code (Table 6-5).
This operation can be invoked by using the cancel  character during Phase C data reception (see prior section)
The DCE will wait until the current page completes, unless the reception is of unlimited length; in that case, the DCE may
halt reception and terminate the session at any time.

6.4 SERVICE CLASS 2 DCE RESPONSES
The DCE sends information responses to the DTE as a facsimile session proceeds. They indicate the state of the facsimile
session and convey needed information. These messages are solicited messages generated in execution of DTE action
commands described in Section 6.3.
The DCE precedes and follows the information responses with .
The DCE provides the on-line status of several session parameters when they are available during T.30 handshaking. These
include the remote ID string and the DIS/DCS parameters. These responses report the T.30 session parameter frames. The
subparameters are described in Table 6-2.
6.4.1 +FCON, Facsimile Connection Response
+FCON indicates connection with a fax machine. It is released by detection of HDLC flags in the first received frame.
+FCON is generated in response to an Originate or Answer command.
6.4.2 +FDCS:, Report Current Session Capabilities
Syntax:
+FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
+FDCS: reports the negotiated parameters. Phase C data will be formatted as described by the subparameters. This
message may be generated in execution of +FDT or +FDR commands before the CONNECT result code if new DCS frames
are generated or received. (See Table 6-2.)
6.4.3 +FDIS:, Report Remote Station Capabilities
Syntax:
+FDIS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
+FDIS: reports remote facsimile station capabilities and intentions. The parameters are provided in ASCII notation.
(See Table 6-2.)
This message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or +FDR commands.
6.4.4 +FCFR, Indicate Confirmation to Receive
Syntax:
+FCFR
The DCE sends a +FCFR response to the DTE upon reception of an acceptable TCF training burst and a valid DCS signal
from the remote machine. This indicates that the DCE will receive Phase C data after the remote station receives the local
DCE's CFR message. The +FCFR message is generated in execution of a +FDR command.
6.4.5 +FTSI:, Report the Transmit Station ID
Syntax:
+FTSI: “” Transmit Station ID
This response reports the received transmit station ID string, if any. This message is generated in execution of Originate,
Answer, +FDT, or +FDR commands.
6.4.6 +FCSI:, Report the Called Station ID
Syntax:
+FCSI: “” Called Station ID
This response reports the received called station ID string, if any. This message is generated in execution of Originate,
Answer, +FDT, or +FDR commands.
1048
6-13
AT Command Reference Manual
6.4.7 +FPTS:, Receive Page Transfer Status
Syntax:
+FPTS:,  [,, ]
The +FPTS: is generated by the DCE at the end of Phase C data reception in execution of a +FDR command.
The  is generated by the DCE; it depends on the DCE capabilities at T.4 error checking. See Table 6-4 for 
values.
The receiving DCE will count the lines. These values are;
 = line count
 =  and write a modified value into the +FPTS parameter. The DCE will hold the
corresponding Post Page Response message until released by a +FDR command from the DTE.
6.4.8 +FET:, Post Page Message Response
Syntax:
+FET:
The +FET: response is generated by a receiving DCE after the end of Phase C reception on receipt of
the post-page message from the transmitting station. The +FET: response is generated in execution of a +FDR
command. The  codes respond to the T.30 post page messages (Table 6-3).
6.4.9 +FPTS:, Transmit Page Transfer Status
Syntax:
+FPTS:
The +FPTS: response reports a  number representing the copy quality and related post-page message responses
received from the remote DCE. The valid  values are defined in Table 6-4.
The +FPTS: response is generated in execution of a +FET= command.
6.4.10 +FHNG:, Call Termination with Status
Syntax:
+FHNG:
+FHNG indicates that the call has been terminated. The hangup cause is reported and stored in the +FAXERR parameter
for later inspection. The  values are described in Table 6-5.
+FHNG: is a possible intermediate result code to any DTE action command described in Section 6.3. It is always
followed by the OK final result code.
Upon termination of a call, the DCE determines the cause of termination and reports it as part of the FHNG: response.
It also stores this  code in the +FAXERR parameter for later inspection.
The hangup values are organized according to the phases of the facsimile transaction as defined by T.30. In the Figure
A/T.30 flow charts, there are decision boxes labelled “Command Received?"; this is referred to as COMREC in the table.
Similarly, decision boxes labelled `Response Received?' are referred to as RSPREC in the table. A COMREC error or
RSPREC error indicates that one of two events occurred: 1) a DCN (disconnect) signal was received, or 2) an FCS error
was detected and the incoming signal was still present after 3 seconds. (See Figure A/T.30).
The table values are in decimal notation. Leading zero characters are optional.

AT Command Reference Manual
6.4.11 +FCIG:, Report the Polled Station ID
Syntax:
+FCIG: “<
ID string>” Polled Station ID
This response reports the received transmit station ID string, if any. This message is generated in execution of Originate,
Answer, +FDT, or +FDR commands.
6.4.12 +FDTC:, Report the Polled Station Capabilities
Syntax:
+FDTC: “<
string>” Polled Station Capabilities
If the answerer has a document to poll, it would be communicated to the originator in bit 9 of the DIS frame. The originating
station may elect to transmit a fax, and later, send SIG and DTC frames to pick up the polled document. The answering
station would report the incoming DTC frame via the +FDTC: response message after command mode is cancelled with the
AT+FDR command.
6.4.13 +FPOLL, Indicate Polling Request
Syntax:
+FPOLL:
This message is sent to the DTE if the received DIS message indicates that the remote station has a document to poll (by bit
9 in the DIS) and polling has been enabled with the AT+FSPL command. The DTE may then decide to receive rather than
transmit.

6.5 SERVICE CLASS 2 PARAMETERS
All Service Class 2 parameters can be read, written, and tested for range of legal values by the DCE. The general syntax is
described in Section 6.1.
Group 3 FAX devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS, and DTC frames. The following parameters are provided to
condition the facsimile DCE for the capabilities it will offer and to report the session settings negotiated.
The three primary T.30 session parameters are +FDCC, +FDIS and +FDCS. They are compound parameters, using values
listed in Table 6-2 . Figure 6-1 illustrates their relationships.
Figure 6-1. T.30 Session Parameter Relationships
6.5.1 +FDCC, DCE Capabilities Parameters
Write syntax:
+FDCC=VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,ED,BF,ST
Valid values:
See Table 6-2
Default values:
0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (9600 bps fax models) or 0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (14400 bps fax models)
+FDCC allows the DTE to sense and constrain the capabilities of the facsimile DCE from the choices defined in CCITT T.30
Table 2. When +FDCC is modified by the DTE, the DCE copies +FDCC into +FDIS.
6.5.2 +FDIS, Current Sessions Capabilities Parameters
Write syntax:
+FDIS=VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Valid values:
See Table 6-2
Default values:
0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (9600 bps fax models) or 0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (14400 bps fax models)
The +FDIS parameter allows the DTE to sense and constrain the capabilities used for the current session. The DCE uses
+FDIS to generate DIS or DTC messages directly, and uses +FDIS and received DIS messages to generate DCS
messages.
The DCE initializes the +FDIS parameter from the +FDCC parameter on initialization, when +FDCC is written, and at the end
of a session.
6-16
1048
AT Command Reference Manual
6.5.3 +FDCS, Current Session Results Parameters
Read syntax:
+FDCS?
DCE response:
+FDCS=VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
or
+FDCS=
Valid values:
See Table 6-2
Default values:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
The +FDCS parameter is loaded with the negotiated T.30 parameters for the current session. A transmitting DCE generates
DCS; a receiving DCE gets DCS from the remote station. The DTE may read this parameter.
The +FDCS parameter is initialized 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 upon initialization and at the beginning of a session. If the DTE issues a
+FDCS? command in the initial state, the DCE reports:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
The contents of +FDCS are spontaneously reported during execution of +FDR or +FDT commands by the
+FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,BF,EC,BF,ST response using the same compound parameter format.
Several commands and responses reference T.30 session negotiated parameters. These are described by a set of common
subparameters. These subparameters are described in Table 6-2 with notes. Optional parameter values are marked with an
*. Unspecified parameter values are reserved for future use.
The +FDCC, +FDIS, and +FDCS compound parameters use these session parameters (On writes, unspecified
subparameters are unchanged.)
The +FDIS:, +FDCS:, and +FDTC: session report responses use these subparameters.

6.5.4 +FLID=, Local ID String
Write syntax:
+FLID=""
Valid value:
20-character ASCII string
Default value:
Empty
If FLID is not a null string, it generates a TSI or CSI frame. Table 3/T.30 includes digits 0-9, “+” and space.
If the DCE supports use of Table 3/T.30 only, the response to a +FLID=? command is “(20) (32, 43, 48-57).” If the DCE
supports printable ASCII <, the response is: “(20) (32-127).” The first “(20)” represents string length: the second
(character values) field reports supported string values.
1.
The string is saved in RAM.
2.
Non-numeric characters are not filtered out.
3.
The string is right justified.
6.5.5 +FCR, Capability to Receive
Write syntax:
+FCR=
Valid values:
0 or 1
Default value:
+FCR=0 indicates that the DCE will not receive message data. This can be used when the DTE has insufficient storage. The
DCE can send and can be polled for a file.
+FCR is sampled in CCITT T.30 Phase A and Phase D.
6.5.6 +FPTS=, Page Transfer Status
Write Syntax:
+FPTS=
Valid values:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Default value:
The +FPTS parameter contains a value representing the post page response, including copy quality and related end-of-page
status. These values correspond to post page response messages defined in T.30. The receiving DCE sets this parameter
after it receives a page of Phase C data. The transmitting DCE sets this parameter with the status reported by the receiving
station. The DTE may inspect or modify this parameter.
The set of  values is defined in Table 6-4. These values are also reported in the +FPTS response to the +FDR
command.
6.5.7 +FCQ, Copy Quality Checking
Write syntax:
+FCQ=
Valid values:
Default value:
This parameter controls Copy Quality checking by a receiving facsimile DCE.
The DCE returns +FCQ=0 which indicates the DCE does no quality checking. The DCE will generate Copy Quality OK
(MCF) responses to complete pages, and set +FPTS=1.
6.5.8 +FPHCTO, DTE Phase C Response Time-out
Write syntax:
+FPHCTO=
Valid values:
0 - 255, 100 millisecond units.
Default value:
30
6-18
1048
AT Command Reference Manual
The +FPHCTO command determines how long the DCE will wait for a command after reaching the end of data when
transmitting in Phase C. When this time-out is reached, the DCE assumes there are no more pages and no documents to
send. It then sends the T.30 EOP response to the remote device.
6.5.9 +FAXERR, T.30 Session Error Report
Read syntax:
+FAXERR= , read only
Valid values:
0 - 255, see Table 6-5 for meaning
This read-only parameter indicates the cause of the hangup. Table 6-5 shows the valid values for this parameter as well as
the meaning of the each value. +FAXERR is set by the DCE at the conclusion of a fax session. The DCE resets +FAXERR
to 0 at the beginning of Phase A off-hook time.
6.5.10 +FBOR, Data Bit Order
Write syntax:
+FBOR=
Valid values:
0, 1, 2, or 3
Default value:
This parameter controls the mapping between PSTN facsimile data and the DTE-DCE link. There are two choices:
Direct: The first bit transferred to each byte on the DTE-DCE link is the first bit transferred on the PSTN data carrier.
Reversed: The last bit transferred of each byte on the DTE-DCE link is the first bit transferred on the PSTN data carrier.
There are two data types to control:
This command controls Phase C data (T.4 encoded data) transferred during execution of +FDT or +FDR commands.
The following two codes are supported:
+FBOR=0 or 2
Selects direct bit order for Phase C data.
+FBOR=1 or 3
Selects reversed bit order for Phase C data.
Note that this parameter does not affect the bit order of control characters generated by the DCE.
6.5.11 +FAA, Answer Parameter
Write syntax:
+FAA=
Valid values:
0 or 1
Default value:
+FAA=0
Constrains the DCE to answer as set by +FCLASS.
+FAA=1
Indicates that the DCE can answer and automatically determine whether to answer as a Class 2
facsimile DCE or as a data modem. If the DCE automatically switches, it modifies FCLASS
appropriately.
Fax adaptive answer operates only when +FCLASS=0.
Class 2 adaptive answer is implemented as follows:
First, a data mode handshake is attempted. If the DCE has been configured for automode detection (using the +MS
command), the DCE may try several protocols before terminating attempts to make a data mode connection. This can take
as long as 6-8 seconds.
If the data mode connection attempt fails, a facsimile Class 2 connection is assumed. When a connection is made as a
result of the adaptive answer, the DCE issues the DATA or FAX result code before the CONNECT or +FCON message to
inform the DTE of the connection type. After making a Class 2 connection, the DCE stays on-line rather than going into the
command mode as with a Class 1 connection.

7. VOICE/AUDIO COMMANDS
The modem is configured into Voice Mode (modem models not supporting business audio) or Voice/Audio Mode (modem
models supporting business audio) in response to the AT #CLS=8 command, and this mode is composed of the Voice and
Audio sub-configurations as described in this section. Additional voice/audio AT commands are available to support selection
of operational parameters from both inside and outside the Voice/Audio Mode.
a)
Voice Sub-Configuration. Enhanced Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) coding and decoding of
analog voice is accomplished with a 7.2 kHz sampling rate and 2 or 4 bits/sample quantization, and supports efficient
compression and decompression of digitized voice. Additionally, the Voice Configuration supports concurrent tone
generation/detection capabilities.
b)
Audio Sub-Configuration (Available Only for Modem Models Supporting Business Audio). Linear PCM coding
and decoding of analog audio is accomplished with 7.2 kHz or 11.025 kHz sampling rates and 8 bits/sample
quantization, and supports superior sound quality as compared to ADPCM. With a sampling rate of 7.2 kHz, the Audio
Sub-configuration supports concurrent tone generation/detection capabilities. With a sampling rate of 7.2 kHz or 11.025
kHz, this sub-configuration can be used to record and playback monophonic data in 8-bit unsigned linear PCM format.
Note:
The term "voice" is used to refer to both voice and audio functions, except where otherwise noted.
The Voice/Audio Mode (i.e., either sub-configuration) supports three submodes once a voice connection has been
established (refer to the descriptions of the #CLS command): Online Voice Command Mode, Voice Receive Mode, and
Voice Transmit Mode. Determination of whether operation takes place in the Voice sub-configuration or the Audio subconfiguration is made by use of the #VBS and #VSR commands (refer to the descriptions of these commands).
7.1 VOICE/AUDIO SUBMODES
7.1.1 Online Voice Command Mode
Online Voice Command Mode is the default Voice submode entered when the #CLS=8 command is issued, and may also be
entered from Voice Receive Mode or Voice Transmit Mode. Entry into Online Voice Command Mode is indicated to the DTE
via the VCON message, after which AT commands can be entered without aborting the telephone line connection.
If the modem is the answerer, it enters Online Voice Command Mode immediately after going off-hook, and can report
instances of DTMF tones and calling tones to the DTE. If the modem is the originator, it enters Online Voice Command
Mode based on detection of the ringback cadence going away, upon expiration of the ringback never came timer, or upon
detection of answer tone, and the modem can report DTMF tones, answer tones, busy tone, and dial tone to the DTE. (Note
that DTMF tone reporting is supported in this mode if DTMF reporting is enabled via the #VTD command.)
When this mode is entered as a result of going off-hook with the D or A command, VCON is always sent to the DTE, after
which the modem accepts commands. If this mode is entered from Voice Transmit Mode, the DTE has issued the
, and the modem responds with VCON. If this mode is entered from the Voice Receive Mode because of a key
abort, the modem issues the  followed by VCON.
If the #VLS command has switched in a handset or other device in place of the telephone line, Online Voice Command Mode
is immediately entered, whereas if the telephone line is selected, a physical connection with another station must occur
before entering this mode.
7.1.2 Voice Receive Mode
Voice Receive Mode is entered when the DTE issues the #VRX command in order to receive voice data. This typically
occurs when either recording a greeting message, or when recording voice messages from a remote station.
In Voice Receive Mode, voice samples from the modem analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are sent either to the ADPCM
codec for compression, or to the PCM coder for linear PCM coding, and can then be read by the host. AT commands control
the voice sampling rate as well as codec bits-per-sample rates, and can also be used to select adjustment of the silence
detection period and sensitivity level when ADPCM compression is selected.
1048
7-1
AT Command Reference Manual
In this mode, and when the sampling rate is 7.2 kHz, the modem detects and reports DTMF, dial tone, and busy tone
cadence as enabled by the #VTD command. Additionally, the modem detects and reports inactivity (periods of silence) as
enabled by the #VSS command. The modem can exit the Voice Receive Mode only via a DTE Key Abort, or via Disconnect
Inactivity timer (S30) expiration.
7.1.3 Voice Transmit Mode
Voice Transmit Mode is entered when the DTE issues the #VTX command in order to transmit voice data. In this mode,
when the sampling rate is 7.2 kHz, the modem continues to detect and report DTMF and calling tones if enabled by the
#VTD command. This mode is typically used when playing back greeting messages or previously received/recorded
messages.
In this mode:
1.
If the Voice Sub-configuration is in operation, voice decompression is provided by the ADPCM codec, and the
decompressed ADPCM voice data is then reconstituted into analog voice by the DAC at the original compression
quantization sample-per-bits rate.
2.
If the Audio Sub-configuration is in operation, PCM decoding is provided by the linear PCM decoder, and the decoded
audio data is then reconstituted into analog voice by the DAC at the original 1 sample/8 bits rate.
7.2 VOICE/AUDIO CAPABILITIES
7.2.1 Call Establishment - Originate
Directed Originate (Dial as a specific modem type)
For most call originations, it is known ahead of time what type of call is being attempted, and it is acceptable to disconnect if
the remote side of the connection does not cooperate. In this case, the modem can be configured ahead of time with the
existing +FCLASS (and +FAE=0 or +FAA=0) or the #CLS command to be a data, fax, or voice/audio modem. For Data and
Fax Modes, the modem subsequently either succeeds with the desired type of connection, or eventually hangs up. For the
Voice/Audio Mode, the DTE has the option of hanging up if there are indications that the remote station has not answered in
voice, thus implementing a directed originate for voice. The following are the three connection type choices:
Voice/Audio
The modem dials and reports call progress to the DTE, which reduces to reporting “NO DIALTONE", "BUSY”, or "NO
ANSWER".
The modem allows the DTE to program a time period, which if elapsed after any ringback is detected, forces the modem to
assume the remote has gone off-hook. A secondary time period (safety valve) can define a maximum elapsed time after
dialing for receiving no ringback before the modem assumes that the remote has gone off-hook. This safety valve is devised
in case the remote picks up the telephone before any ringback is generated, and no other tones are detected. In this mode,
the modem is attempting to make a voice connection only and therefore, while waiting for ringback to disappear, it is also
feasible to disconnect upon detection something which is definitely not voice from the remote, such as any answer tone. The
modem provides detection of “ringback went away or never came”.
Fax
The modem dials and reports call progress to the DTE as in all modes. A Fax Class 1 or Fax Class 2 handshake is pursued
according to the current configuration.
Data
The modem dials and reports call progress to the DTE as in all modes. A data handshake is pursued according to the
current configuration.
Adaptive Originate (Dial with Voice/Data/Fax Discrimination)
The DTE may wish to originate a call which adapts to the remote answerer. For instance, the user may wish to send a voice
message if a human picks up the telephone, but a facsimile if a fax machine answers. The modem can facilitate this type of
adaptive originate by extending what it does for the directed originate modes. After determining that the remote station has
picked up the line, the modem goes back to Online Voice Command Mode, thus terminating the “connecting state.” Once in
this mode, the modem reports what it receives from the answerer via specific result codes to the DTE. The DTE can then
have the option of pursuing a data, fax, or voice/audio connection.
7-2
1048
AT Command Reference Manual
7.2.2 Call Establishment - Answer
Directed Answer (Answer as a specific modem type)
If the DTE wants to be only one kind of answerer (i.e., voice/audio, fax, or data), it can configure the modem to answer
exclusively in the chosen mode.
Voice/Audio
The modem is configured to answer in Voice/Audio Mode only and assumes the caller will cooperate. After going off-hook,
the voice VCON is issued, no answer tone is generated, and the modem is immediately placed in Online Voice Command
Mode. The DTE typically responds by sending a greeting message of some type, and DTMF tone recognition/reporting can
be enabled. Eventually, an incoming voice message can be recorded by the host. (Unpredictable results occur if the caller is
not prepared for a voice call.)
Fax
The modem is configured to answer in Fax Class 1 or Fax Class 2 Mode only, and it assumes the caller is going to
cooperate. This configuration has the effect of disabling Voice/Audio Mode, forcing +FCLASS to either 1 or 2, and forcing
both +FAA and +FAE to 0.
Data
The modem is configured to answer in Data Mode only and assumes the caller is going to cooperate. This configuration has
the effect of disabling Voice/Audio Mode, forcing +FCLASS = 0, and forcing both +FAA and +FAE to 0.
Adaptive Answer (Answer with Voice/Data/Fax Discrimination)
In normal operation, it is desirable for a modem supporting fax and voice to provide the ability to discriminate between the
two when answering unsolicited or unattended calls. (It is most often the case that a fax is received or a voice message
recorded when nobody is present.)
Data/Fax Discrimination
If the DTE wishes to allow for a data or fax call, the +FCLASS and +FAA or +FAE commands can be configured for adaptive
answer between data and Class 1 or Class 2 fax.
Voice/Fax Discrimination
This is the most important discrimination capability needed from the user's standpoint. The modem must be configured for
Voice/Audio (#CLS=8), causing the modem to enter Online Voice Command Mode immediately upon going off-hook. In
Voice/Audio Mode, the DTE automatically receives indications of DTMF tones and Calling Tones. The DTE can now switch
to Voice Transmit Mode in order to play a greeting message, perhaps one which instructs the caller how to enter specific
DTMF sequences to switch modes. The DTE can then react to the response, or the lack thereof, to such a message. The
modem supports switching to Class 1 or Class 2 answer mode by virtue of the #CLS=1 or #CLS=2 command, and if such a
switch is made and fails, the modem reports the failure but does not hang up, allowing the DTE further experimentation time.
If the user wishes to switch to Class 1 or Class 2, but also wants the DTE to indeed hang up the line if the fax fails, the
+FCLASS command should be used instead of the #CLS command. The only difference between these commands is that
issuing +FCLASS cancels the modem's memory of voice, whereas #CLS causes the modem to remain off-hook, even if a
fax or data handshake fails, until it receives an H command.
Voice/Data/Fax Discrimination
The DTE can try data modem operation after an answer by changing the #CLS setting to 0. A data handshake attempt can
be added based upon DTMF responses or lack thereof.

AT Command Reference Manual
7.2.3 Voice/Audio Data Transfer
A significant area of concern when handling the transfer of voice/audio data is the data transfer rate on the modem/DTE
interface. Data transfer rates can be expressed as the number of interrupts which must be serviced per time period to keep
up. This is a function of the sampling rate and compression method (if any) used by the modem, and the DTE interface
speed required to handle the data flow on the telephone line side.
Tables 7-1a and 7-1b demonstrate the relationship between the sampling rate, interrupt rate, and DTE speed necessary for
the modem to support various compression ratios. The built-in 16C550A UART-compatible interface in the MCU hardware is
required to support Voice/Audio Mode operation in the Microsoft Windows environment.

7.2.4 Tone and Status Monitoring Shielded  Statuses
The modem can detect specific tones and other status information, and report these to the DTE while in any of the three
voice submodes. The modem simultaneously looks for 1300 and 1100 Hz calling tones when answering, and for CCITT and
Bell answer tones when originating. The modem can also detect dial or busy tones in any of the three voice submodes. All
detected tones, as well as certain other statuses addressed in Table 7-2 such as silence and “telset off-hook” (i.e., handset
off-hook) are reported as shielded codes.
When in Online Voice Command Mode or Voice Transmit Mode, the codes in Table 7-2 are sent to the DTE immediately
upon verification by the modem of the associated tone, status, or cadence. In this mode, the 2-character code is not
buffered, nor does the DTE have the ability to stop the code with flow control. If the DTE has started (but not completed)
sending any AT command, the Tone Monitoring function is disabled until the command has been received and processed.
The modem can discriminate between single and multiple DTMF tones received. If calling tone, dial tone, busy tone, or
answer tone is detected, this detection is reported repeatedly (at reasonable intervals) if the DTE takes no action, and the
tone continues to be detected.

Code Sent to DTE
Meaning
DTMF. Digits 0 through 9, *, #, or A through D detected by the modem, i.e., user has pressed a key
0 –
9, *, on a local or remote telephone. The modem sends only one  code per DTMF button pushed.
#, A
–D
Answer Tone (CCITT). Send to the DTE when the V.25/T.30 2100 Hz Answer Tone (Data or Fax) is
a
detected. If the DTE fails to react to the code, and the modem continues to detect Answer tone, the
code is repeated as often as once every half second.
Busy. Sent in Voice Receive Mode when the busy cadence is detected, after any remaining data in
b
the voice receive buffer. The modem sends the busy b code every 4 seconds if busy
continues to be detected and the DTE does not react. This allows the DTE the flexibility of ignoring
what could be a false busy detection.
Calling Tone. Sent when the T.30 1100 Hz Calling Tone (Fax Modem) is detected in any of the voice
c
operating modes. The modem assumes that the calling tone is valid and sends this code only after 4
seconds of proper cadence has been detected. If the DTE does not react to the c, and calling
tone continues, the code is sent again as often as once every 4 seconds.
Dialtone. Sent in Voice Receive Mode when dial tone is detected after any remaining data in the
d
voice receive buffer. The modem sends the d code every 3 seconds if dial tone continues to
be detected and the DTE does not react. This allows the DTE the flexibility of ignoring what could be
a false dial tone detection.
European Data Modem Calling Tone. Sent when the V.25 1300 Hz Calling Tone (Data Modem) is
e
detected in a voice submode. The modem assumes that the calling tone is valid, and sends this code
only after 4 seconds of proper cadence has been detected. If the DTE does not react to the e
and calling tone continues, the code is sent again as often as once every 4 seconds.
Bell Answer Tone. Sent when Bell 2225 Hz Answer Tone (Data) is detected. If the DTE fails to react
f
to the code and the modem continues to detect Answer tone, the code is repeated as often as every
1/2 second.
Hung Up Handset. Sent immediately when the modem detects that the local handset has hung-up
h
(i.e., has transitioned from off-hook to on-hook) while in any of the three voice submodes.
Overrun. Sent in Voice Receive Mode if the voice receive data buffer overflows, in which case, the
o
latest data is lost in favor of retaining the oldest data in the buffer. (The DTE may not have been
reading data from the modem lately.) The modem inserts the o at the end of the buffer, thus
marking the location where data was lost by the DTE. The modem does not append o codes
to the buffer contiguously. If more than one data byte is lost before the DTE begins reading again,
there is only on o code in the data stream. However, if the DTE resumes reading, and then
once again allows the buffer to overflow, a new o is appended to the data by the modem.
Thus, the o does not indicate how many bytes of contiguous data has been lost, but may
report multiple gaps of lost data in the data stream.
Quiet. Sent in Voice Receive Mode following any remaining data in the receive voice buffer when the
q
silence detection timer (#VSP) expires and there has been voice data passed to the DTE. Note that
with #VSS=0, the Quiet message never occurs. In general, q is sent if first there was sound,
and now there is no sound, and means that somebody has stopped talking, and according to the
criteria selected in the #VSP and #VSS settings, is probably not going to start again. If the DTE
ignores the q code, the modem automatically resets its timer and sends the code again if the
#VSP time period again expires. This allows the DTE time to react to what may be a false silence
detection.
1048
7-5
AT Command Reference Manual
Table 7-2. Shielded Codes Sent to the DTE (Cont’d)
Code Sent to DTE
Meaning
Silence. Sent in Voice Receive Mode after the silence detection timer (#VSP) expires and if valid
s
voice has not been detected (#VSS). In general, s is sent if no sound was detected at all. This
differs slightly from Quiet (q) in that it can be used by the DTE in its discrimination algorithms
as a means of determining if anything at all is coming from the remote station. If the DTE ignores the
s code, the modem automatically resets its timer and sends the code again if the #VSP time
period again expires. This allows the DTE time to react to what may be a false detection of silence.
Handset Off-Hook. Sent one time when the local handset transition from on-hook to off-hook is
t
detected in any of the three voice submodes.
Underrun. Sent in Voice Transmit Mode when the voice transmit buffer becomes empty without
u
receiving a  or  command first. The modem remains in transmit mode,
but issues the u to indicate that silence is being generated. When the DTE resumes sending
bytes, the modem allows a small number of bytes to build up in the buffer before re-enabling the
transmitter to avoid repeated underruns. However, with the underrun condition, the modem does not
wait for the XOFF threshold (or timer) to be met before resuming, as it does on an initial transmit or
resume operation because the remote listener may be unaware of the underrun, and keeping the
silence short may serve to mask the underrun altogether.
Timing Mark. Sent in Voice Receive Mode, and placed in the data stream at 1 second intervals,
T
when enabled by #VTM = 10.
End of Stream.  is sent to denote the end of a voice data stream, similar to fax Class 1

and 2. This occurs in Voice Receive Mode only after the DTE issues the key abort.
7.2.5 Shielded  Commands from the DTE
Most commands issued for voice are implemented as extensions to the AT command set, and are accepted only if the
modem is in a valid command mode, such as Online Voice Command Mode. However, there are some operations which are
available to the DTE without necessitating a switch to Online Voice Command Mode. The most obvious of these is the
 which the DTE issues during Voice Transmit Mode to terminate an output message. Table 7-3 lists shielded
 commands recognized by the modem.

Meaning
Pause. Sent during Voice Transmit Mode to force the modem to suspend sending voice data to the
selected output device(s). Any data currently in the voice transmit buffer is saved until either a
resume (r), or cancel , is received, in which case the data is lost. If a
 is received during the paused state, the modem processes it normally, and also
automatically resumes transmission of the data left in the buffer (appended with ). Any
other data received from the DTE while in this paused state is placed in the transmit buffer according
to available space, with flow control active. (This command is ignored in other voice submodes.)
Resume. Sent during Voice Transmit Mode to force the modem to resume sending voice data to the
selected output device(s). Any data currently in the voice transmit buffer is now played. (This
command is ignored in other voice modes.) The pause and resume commands are different than a
simple suspension of data; data in the buffer is “frozen” and not played when the DTE pauses.
Purge DCE Buffer. Sent during the transmission or reception of voice/audio data, by embedding the
command in the voice data stream, to purge the corresponding DCE buffer. (See the 
code.)
Increment Playback Volume. Sent during audio mode to increment the playback volume. The
u action command allows the application to increase the playback volume of the headphone
and speaker outputs during playback while in the data state. Each u will increment the
transmit level by 1 unit. Adjustment by a value greater than 1 may be achieved by transmitting a
string of u codes. For example, a string consisting of "u u u u
u" increases the playback volume by a value of 5 units. The u code can be used to
adjust the volume within the range of 128-228. (See  and  in Section 7.3.2.)
Decrement Playback Volume. Sent during audio mode to decrement the playback volume. The
d action command allows the application to decrease the playback volume of the headphone
and speaker outputs during playback while in the data state. Each d will decrement the
transmit level by 1 unit. Adjustment by a value greater than 1 may be achieved by transmitting a
string of d codes. For example, a string consisting of "d d d d
d" decreases the playback volume by a value of 5 units. The d code can be used to
adjust the volume within the range of 128-228. (See  and  in Section 7.3.2.)
Cancel. Sent during Voice Transmit Mode to indicate that the DTE has finished transmitting a voice
message and wants the modem to discard any remaining data in the voice transmit buffer. The
modem immediately purges its buffer, and then responds with the VCON message entering Online
Voice Command Mode. (This command is ignored by the modem when not in Voice Transmit Mode.)
Voice Bytes Buffered Query. Sent during the transmission or reception of voice/audio data, by
embedding the command in the voice data stream, to learn the number of corresponding bytes
buffered by the DCE at the moment the  command is received by the DCE.
XZBBC=n is returned by the DCE, in which "n" represents the number of bytes buffered
as a two byte hexadecimal value.
Terminate. Sent during Voice Transmit Mode to indicate that the DTE has finished transmitting a
voice message. The modem completes transmission of any remaining data in the voice transmit
buffer before responding with the VCON message and entering Online Voice Command Mode. (This
command is ignored by the modem when not in Voice Transmit Mode.)

AT Command Reference Manual
7.2.6 Voice Record
To effect recording of a message received via a handset or microphone, the DTE must configure the modem for Voice Mode
(#CLS=8), and select the proper relay setup (#VLS) to instruct the modem whether to use the auxiliary device. The modem
responds to the #VLS command by issuing a relay activate command to select the input device. When a device other than
the telephone line is selected, the modem immediately enters Online Voice Command Mode (indicated by VCON). DTMF
detection is therefore enabled as soon as the DTE selects the device, such as a handset, although the user still needs to
physically pick up the telephone and “press buttons.” Even if the DTE has not entered Voice Receive or Transmit Modes
(#VTX or #VRX), these DTMF tones are delivered via shielded codes identically to when a physical telephone connection
exists but the DTE has not yet commanded receive or transmit.
When the DTE decides to record the message, it issues the #VRX command and upon command receipt, the modem
immediately switches to Voice Receive Mode. Since the microphone or handset is switched in, the modem immediately
issues the CONNECT message indicating that the modem has switched to Voice Receive Mode and is beginning the
transfer of ADPCM voice or PCM audio data as well as shielded DTMF tones, and other tones and statuses.
In this recording state, the modem (if so configured) monitors for line silence. If the #VSP period expires, the modem sends
the q or s code to the DTE.
Recording can be canceled only via two events:
1.
The DTE sends any character to the modem. This is the key abort, and is the normal method of terminating the receive
mode.
2.
The S30 Disconnect Inactivity timer expires, which is generally an undesired event.
7.2.7 Voice Playback
To effect playback of a message recorded via a handset or microphone, or of a message recorded during a voice call, the
DTE must configure the modem for Voice Mode (#CLS=8) and select the proper relay setup (#VLS) to instruct the modem
whether to use the handset or speaker. The modem responds to the #VLS command by issuing a relay activate command to
select the input device. The hardware must provide a means of selecting a handset and/or microphone instead of the
telephone line, as this input device. When a device other that the telephone line is selected, the modem immediately enters
Online Voice Command Mode (indicated by VCON). DTMF detection is thus enabled as soon as the DTE selects the device,
such as a handset, although the user still needs to physically pick up the telephone before he can issue DTMF tones. Once
selected, however, the user can indeed pick up the telephone and “press buttons.” Even if the DTE has not entered Voice
Receive or Transmit Modes (#VTX or #VRX), these DTMF tones are delivered via shielded codes, identically to when a
physical telephone connection exists but the DTE has not yet commanded receive nor transmit.
When the DTE decides to play the message, it issues the #VTX command, and the modem immediately switches to Voice
Transmit Mode. Since the speaker or handset is already switched in, the modem immediately issues the CONNECT
message indicating that the modem is in Voice Transmit Mode and is expecting voice data from the DTE.
A subsequent  has to be issued to switch back to Online Voice Command Mode.
Volume Adjustment During Record
The record volume is adjusted automatically by an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit (for V.34 and ACF/SP products).
Volume Adjustment During Playback
The playback volume of the headphone and speaker outputs and handset can be adjusted by the #TL command (Section
7.3.2).

AT Command Reference Manual
7.2.8 Voice Call Termination
Local Disconnect
The DTE can disconnect from a telephone call by commanding a mode change to Online Voice Command Mode (if not
already in it), and by issuing the H command.
Remote Disconnect Detection
When in Voice Receive Mode, the modem sends the proper shielded  code when dial tone or busy tone is detected.
The modem stays in Voice Receive Mode, however, until the DTE issues a key abort to force Online Voice Command Mode.
The DTE must issue the H command if it wishes to hang up.
7.2.9 Mode Switching
Voice to Fax
If the modem is in Online Voice Command Mode (i.e., it has gone off-hook with #CLS=8 in effect), the DTE can attempt a
fax handshake by setting #CLS=1, followed by the A or D command corresponding to fax receive or send. This has the
effect of beginning a fax Class 1 handshake (see #CLS command).
Unsuccessful Fax Connection Attempt to Voice
A fax handshake which does not succeed, attempted as the result of the DTE modifying the #CLS setting from voice (8) to
fax (1), does not result in the modem hanging up, allowing the DTE the flexibility of commanding a switch back to Voice
Mode with #CLS=8.
Voice to Data
If the modem is in the Online Voice Command Mode, the DTE can attempt a data handshake by setting #CLS=0 followed by
the A or D command. This has the effect of beginning a Data Mode handshake according to the current Data Mode Sregister and command settings.
Unsuccessful Data Connection Attempt to Voice
A data handshake which does not succeed, attempted as the result of the DTE modifying the #CLS setting from voice (8) to
data (0), does not result in the modem hanging up, allowing the DTE the flexibility of commanding a switch back to Voice
Mode with #CLS=8.
7.2.10 Caller ID
The modem supports Caller ID by passing the information received in Bell 202 FSK modulation to the DTE after the first
RING detect. The modem supports both formatted and unformatted reporting of Caller ID information received in ICLID
(Incoming Call Line ID) format as supported in certain areas of the U.S. and Canada. The DTE enables this feature via the
#CID command.

7.3.1 Global AT Command Set Extensions
The AT commands in the following section are global, meaning that they can be issued in any appropriate mode (i.e., any
#CLS setting).
For consistency, the command set is divided into action commands and parameters (non-action commands). Those
commands which are action commands (i.e., those which cause some change in the current operating behavior of the
modem) are identified as such, and the remaining commands are parameters.
All voice commands that can have a value of 0-255 will not respond error if a value above 255 is entered; the resulting value
will be the value entered minus 256 or 512, etc.

AT Command Reference Manual
ATA - Answering in Voice/Audio
The answer action command works analogously to the way it works in Data and Fax Modes except for the following:
1.
When configured for Voice/Audio Mode (#CLS=8), the modem enters Online Voice Command Mode immediately after
going off-hook. When the #CLS=8 command is issued, the modem can be programmed to look for 1100 and 1300 Hz
calling tones (see #VTD), thus eliminating the need to do so as part of A command processing. After the VCON
message is issued, the modem re-enters Online Voice Command Mode while sending any incoming DTMF or Calling
Tone indications to the DTE as described in Section 7.2.5.
2.
After answering in Voice/Audio Mode (#CLS=8), the DTE, as part of its call discrimination processing, can decide to
change the #CLS setting to attempt receiving a fax in Class 1, or to make a data connection. In such a case, the DTE
commands the modem to proceed with the data or fax handshake via the A command even though the modem is
already off-hook.
Result Code:
VCON
Issued in Voice Mode (#CLS=8) immediately after going off-hook.
ATD - Dial Command in Voice/Audio
The dial action command works analogously to the way it works in Data or Fax modes. When in Voice/Audio Mode
(#CLS=8):
1.
The modem attempts to determine when the remote has picked up the telephone line and once this determination has
been made, the VCON message is sent to the DTE. This determination is initially made based upon ringback detection
and disappearance. (See #VRA and #VRN commands.)
2.
Once connected in Voice/Audio Mode, the modem immediately enters the command state and switches to Online Voice
Command Mode which enables unsolicited reporting of DTMF and answer tones to the DTE.
Parameters:
Same as Data and Fax modes.
Result Codes:
VCON
Issued in Voice/Audio Mode (#CLS=8) when the modem determines that the remote modem or
handset has gone off-hook, or when returning to the Online Voice Command Mode. (See #VRA
and #VRN.)
NO ANSWER
Issued in Voice/Audio Mode (#CLS=8) when the modem determines that the remote has not
picked up the line before the S7 timer expires. Though the modem reports "NO ANSWER", the
DTE has the responsibility of issuing an ATH (or ATZ) to disconnect the telephone line while
#CLS=8.
ATH - Hang Up in Voice/Audio
This command works the same as in Data and Fax modes by hanging up (disconnecting) the telephone line. There are,
however, some specific considerations when in Voice/Audio Mode:
1.
The H command forces #CLS=0, but does not destroy any of the voice parameter settings such as #VBS, #VSP, etc.
Therefore, if the DTE wishes to issue an H command and then pursue another voice call, it must issue a subsequent
#CLS=8 command, but it need not re-establish the voice parameter settings again unless a change in the settings is
desired.
2.
The #BDR setting is forced back to 0, re-enabling autobaud.
3.
If the #VLS setting is set to select a device which is not, or does not include the telephone line (such as a local handset
or microphone), the H command deselects this device and reselects the normal default setting (#VLS =0). Normally, the
DTE should not issue the H command while connected to a local device such as a handset, because merely selecting
this device results in VCON. The normal sequence of terminating a session with such a device is to use the #VLS
command to select the telephone line, which by definition makes sure it is on-hook.
Parameters:
Same as Data and Fax modes.
Result Codes:
Same as Data and Fax modes.
1048
7-11
AT Command Reference Manual
ATZ - Reset from Voice Mode
This command works the same as in Data and Fax modes. In addition, the Z command resets all voice related parameters
to default states, forces the #BDR=0 condition (autobaud enabled), and forces the telephone line to be selected with the
handset on-hook. No voice parameters are stored in NVRAM so the profile loaded does not affect the voice aspects of this
command. (Note that when #CLS=8, ATZ causes a hang up if the telephone line is connected.)
Parameters:
Same as Data and Fax modes.
Result Codes:
Same as Data and Fax modes.
#BDR - Select Baud Rate (Turn off Autobaud)
This command forces the modem to select a specific DTE/modem baud rate without further speed sensing on the interface.
When a valid #BDR=n command is entered, the OK result code is sent at the current assumed speed. After the OK has
been sent, the modem switches to the speed indicated by the #BDR=n command it has just received.
When in Online Voice Command Mode and the #BDR setting is nonzero (no autobaud selected), the modem supports a full
duplex DTE interface. This means that the DTE can enter commands at any time, even if the modem is in the process of
sending a shielded code indicating DTMF detection to the DTE. [Note that when #BDR has been set nonzero, the modem
employs the S30 Disconnect Inactivity timer, and this timer starts at the point where #BDR is set nonzero. If this period
expires (nominally 60 seconds) with no activity on the DTE interface, the modem reverts to #BDR=0, #CLS=0, and #VLS=0.]
Parameters:
n = 0 – 48 (New baud rate is n*2400 bps)
Default:
Result Codes:
OK
For the supported speeds.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Command options:
#BDR?
Returns the current setting of the #BDR command as an ASCII decimal value in result code
format.
#BDR=?
Returns a message indicating the speeds that are supported.
#BDR=0
Enables autobaud detection on the DTE interface.
#BDR=n
Where 1s or q codes after insuring that the buffer is empty.
The modem determines what constitutes silence. This involves monitoring and debouncing the modem value for average
energy. If this debounced value is less than an arbitrary threshold constituting the modem's definition of silence for a period
greater than that defined by the #VSP setting, the modem sends the q or s shielded code to the DTE.
Parameters:
n = 0 – 255 (0 – 25.5 seconds)
Default:
55
Result Code:
OK
If n = 0 – 255.
ERROR
Otherwise.
Command options:
#VSP?
Returns the current setting of the #VSP command as an ASCII decimal value in result code

#VSP=?
Returns the message, “0-255”.
#VSP=0
Turns off the silence period detection timer.
#VSP=n
Where n defines the period without received voice data in 100 ms units.
#VSR - Sampling Rate Selection
This parameter, along with the bits per sample (#VBS) command, determines the necessary DTE interface speed to transmit
and receive in Voice/Audio Mode.
Parameters:
n=7200 (7200 Hz sampling rate for ADPCM or PCM), or
n=11025 (11.025 kHz sampling rate for PCM only)

#VSS =1
Least sensitive setting. When this command is received by the modem, the system is configured
to a state which is least likely to detect and compress periods of silence, but still able to do so if
the line is really quiet.
#VSS =2
Midrange setting. When this command is received by the modem, the system is configured to a
state which is likely to be the best overall compromise on normal telephone lines.
#VSS =3
Most sensitive setting. When this command is received by the modem, the system is configured
to a state which is most likely to detect and compress periods of silence.

This action command can be issued to play one of more DTMF or other tones (such as a “beep") if and only if the modem is
in the Online Voice Command Mode and the sampling rate (see the #VSR command) is set to 7.2 kHz. The modem parses
and plays the tones defined in the parameter in the order listed, and no key abort is accepted. The parameter can have
three types of elements separated by commas, and following "#VTS=":
Dual or Single Tones with Variable Duration: These are represented by the substring [x,y,z] (enclosed in square
brackets, "[ ]", as shown) in the parameter field. Each such substring consists of three subelements corresponding to the two frequencies (i.e., x and y), and the duration (i.e., z).
[x,y,z]
x represents the first frequency (0 or 200-3000 Hz)
y represents second frequency (0 or 200-3000 Hz)
z represents the duration (which is ASCII decimal in units of 100 ms)
DTMF Digits with Variable Duration. This is represented by a substring {x,z} (enclosed in curly braces, "{}", as
shown) in the parameter field. Each such substring consists of two sub-elements
corresponding to a DTMF digit (i.e., x) and the duration (i.e., z).
{x,z}
x represents the DTMF digit (0-9,A-D,*,#)
z represents the duration (which is ASCII decimal in units of 100 ms)
DTMF Digits, with duration defined by #VBT. This is represented by a value x (non-bracketed) corresponding to a
DTMF digit (i.e., x) in the parameter field.
x represents the DTMF digit (0-9,A-D,*,#), with the duration defined by #VBT

#VTX - Voice Transmit
This action command can be issued if and only if the modem is in the Online Voice Command Mode (indicated previously
with the VCON message), and is the switch to Voice Transmit Mode. #VTX is used when a voice file is to be transmitted to
the line, speaker, or handset. The #VLS command should have been previously issued to select the output source.
Parameters:

#VGT - Set Playback Volume in the Command State
The #VGT command allows the DTE to set the playback volume of the headphone and speaker outputs via the on-board
digital potentiometer while in the command state. The application can use #VGT=? command to determine the range of valid
values. The lowest value in the range means the lowest transmit level while the highest in the range means the highest
transmit level.
Parameters:
n=128 to 131
Default:
129
Result Codes:

if n=128 to 131
ERROR
Otherwise
Command Options:
#VGT=?
Returns "128-131" if the external volume control is present, otherwise "128".
VGT?
129 (default).
 and  - Set Playback Volume in the Data State
The u and d action commands allow the DTE to adjust the playback volume of the headphone and speaker
outputs via the on-board digital potentiometer while in the data state. The application may embed the u and d
codes into the playback data to adjust the volume during playback. Each u or d will increment or decrement
the transmit level by 1 unit, respectively. Adjustment by a value greater than 1 may be achieved by transmitting a string of
the appropriate  codes. A string consisting of "uuuuu", for example, would increase
the playback volume by a value of 5 units. The u and d codes can be used to adjust the volume within the
range of 128-228.
Command Options:

Increment volume (transmit level) by 1 unit in data state.

Decrement volume (transmit level) by 1 unit in data state.
7.3.3 Speakerphone Commands
Modem speakerphone models support full-duplex speakerphone operation. Hardware designs typically include an audio
codec which support functions such as music on hold, telephone/speakerphone conversation recording, and handset
recording through the audio codec.
This section describes the AT commands used by host software to enable speakerphone operation and route the audio
codec to and from the telephone line/handset. Also described is a procedure to operate speakerphone, headset, and
handset modes with VoiceView.
The #VLS=6 setting selects speakerphone mode while in #CLS=8 or +FCLASS=80 mode. Speakerphone operation is
entered during Voice On-line (VCON) mode after completing dialing (ATD) or answering (ATA).

It is recommended to set the VRN command to 0 which disables ringback detection before reporting the VCON message.
ATDT
The modem then responds with:
VCON
(based on the AT#VRA and #VRN setting)
Additional DTMF (for example in a voice mail application) can be entered by issuing:
AT#VTS=
When DTMF digits are sent, it is recommended that the default value of the tone length be changed to 100 ms using the
command #VBT:
AT#VBT=1
The call can be transferred (PBX function) by entering the flash dial modifier (AT#VTS=!).
Terminate the call with:

Muting the Local Handset During Phone Conversation - Music on Hold
To mute the local handset during a phone conversation, issue the the following command:
AT#VLS=7 (valid after Voice On-line mode)
This command mutes the local handset by switching the handset or speakerphone out of the telephone line path if in
#VLS=0 or #VLS=6 mode.
To unmute, the host should issue an AT#VLS=0 or AT#VLS=6 to return to phone line or speakerphone mode, respectively.
On hardware designs which incorporate the audio codec, #VLS=7 can be used to route the codec's output through the
phone line to provide music-on-hold feature.

Recording a Handset Conversation on the Phone Line
To recording a handset conversation on the phone line, issue:
AT#VLS=8 (valid after Voice On-line mode)
This command engages the Caller ID relay to allow recording of conversation when using a handset by routing the signal to
the audio codec (if populated).
To deactivate the Caller ID relay, the host should issue an AT#VLS=0 or AT#VLS=6 to return to phone line or speakerphone
mode, respectively.
Recording/Playback from Handset through Sound Chip
To recording/playback from the handset through a sound chip (valid after voice on-line mode), issue:
AT#VLS=9
This command routes the handset to the sound codec to allow recording/playback of audio (e.g. greeting messages) through
the local handset.
#SPK Parameter
The setting of the speakerphone can be changed with the AT#SPK command:
AT#SPK=,,
The #SPK command can be used to control the microphone state (mute or on), adjust the speaker volume, and microphone
gain. The #SPK parameters are are valid only after the modem has entered the Voice Online (VCON) mode while in the
#VLS=6 setting (after a VCON during originate or answer). The modem will respond "ERROR" otherwise.

Room Monitor
The modem can be configured to a listen only mode where the microphone automatic gain control is set to maximum (50
dB). The feature is called Room Monitor and the allow an application where a remote caller calls the computer to monitor
what is happening the room. The following setting will enable Room Monitor mode.
AT#SPK=2,,,
Switching Between #VLS Settings
Switching between different #VLS settings during Voice On-line mod is permitted although only certain combinations may be
useful. The #VLS settings are grouped into local and remote. Switching between #VLS settings should be within either local
or remote groups.
Local #VLS settings are defined as the modem being on-hook and isolated from the telco line
during Voice On-line (VCON) mode. The local settings are #VLS=1, #VLS=2, #VLS=3, and #VLS=9. Remote #VLS settings
are defined as the modem being off-hook and connected to the telco line during Voice On-line mode. The remote settings
are #VLS=0, #VLS=4, #VLS=5, #VLS=6. #VLS=7, and #VLS=8.
Example 1
An example of how host software will switch #VLS settings in local mode is an application which records a greeting message
through the handset and review the message through the speaker. To accomplish this functionality, the modem is set to
#VLS=1 (local handset recording/playback) during the recording process and is switched to #VLS=2 (playback through
speaker) to monitor the playback.
Example 2
An example of how host software will switch #VLS settings in remote mode is a telephone answering application which has a
call screening mode. The application plays a greeting message with the speaker off (#VLS=0) and switches the speaker on
when recording the incoming message (#VLS=4). If the user decides to answer the call he picks up the handset (a t
is reported to the software), the recording process will stop and the modem releases the line (ATH).
Reporting of Local Handset Status
The modem reports the off-hook to on-hook and on-hook to off-hook transition of the local handset by the h and
t characters, respectively. The handset status is reported after the issuing of the AT#CLS=8 command and updated
whenever transitions of the handset status are detected. This handset status reporting does not depend if the modem is in
Voice On-line (VCON) mode.
This is useful for auto dialer applications which need to know the handset transitions during and after the dialing process.

7.3.4 Using VoiceView with Speakerphone, Headset, and Handset modes
Handset (#VLS=0), speakerphone (#VLS=6), or headset mode (#VLS=5) can be selected during VoiceView mode
(+FCLASS=80), when dialing is done on the handset. The ATA command is not accepted while in VoiceView mode in
accordance with the VoiceView Protocol specification. While in VoiceView mode, the modem can alternate between handset
mode (#VLS=0) or speakerphone mode (#VLS=6) settings for voice conversation.
To terminate a call using a handset in VoiceView mode, hang up the handset.
To terminate a speakerphone call in VoiceView mode, issue the ATH command.

Using Modem as Dialer Prior to VoiceView Mode
To use the modem to dial a call, the modem must be in Voice On-line mode (via #CLS=8) to dial before enabling VoiceView
mode. VoiceView mode can enabled by the AT+FCLASS=80 parameter after Voice On-line (VCON) mode in handset,
speakerphone or handset emulation modes. The modem can be switched between handset (#VLS=0) and speakerphone
(#VLS=6) modes during +FCLASS=80, as described in the previous section.

7.4 S-REGISTERS
The following S-Register is global, meaning that it can be set in any appropriate mode (i.e., any #CLS setting).
S30 - Disconnect Inactivity Timer
Range:
n = 0 – 255
Default:
0 (OFF, which means DTE should usually set it to some value for Voice)
Command options:
S30=0
Disconnect Inactivity timer off. No matter how long it might continue, the modem never
spontaneously hangs up the telephone line or switches to autobaud mode as a result of inactivity.
S30=1 to 255
This is the period of time (in seconds), which if expired causes the modem to hang up the
telephone line if it is off-hook and no data has passed during the period. The timer is also active
whenever the #BDR setting is non-zero. In order to avoid a state where speed sense is disabled
(even though the PC can crash, come back up, and try to issue commands at what should be a
supported speed), the inactivity time-out occurs if there is no data passed on the DTE interface
within the S30 period, even if the modem is on-hook. DTE software must not select a nonzero
setting for #BDR until it is ready to establish a telephone call or virtual connection to a speaker or
microphone. When there is an inactivity time out with #CLS=8, the modem always forces #CLS=0
and #BDR=0.
7.5 RESULT CODES FOR VOICE OPERATION
VCON
VCON is sent when the modem is configured for voice/audio (#CLS=8), or when after answering
or originating a call, the modem enters the Online Voice Command Mode for the first time.
Typically, this is immediately after an off-hook in answer mode, and after ringback ceases in
originate mode. VCON is also sent when the DTE requests a switch from Voice Transmit Mode to
Online Voice Command Mode by issuing a  to the modem, or when the DTE
requests a switch from Voice Receive Mode to Online Voice Command Mode via the key abort.
CONNECT
CONNECT is sent when switching from the Online Voice Command Mode to either Voice Receive
Mode via the #VRX command, or to Voice Transmit Mode via the #VTX command. This message
is sent to the DTE to inform it that it may begin receiving or sending ADPCM or PCM data.

DTE to Modem Modem to DTE
Description and Interpretation
#CLS=8
Configure the modem for Voice Mode.
OK
The modem confirms command implemented, and is now set up for voice.
#VBS=4
The DTE asks for 4-bit compression (ADPCM). The DTE needs to work at 38,400 bps
since after start and stop bits are added, the speed increases to 36,000 bps.
OK
The modem is configured for 4-bit compression.
S30=60
DTE wants to insure that the modem can recover even if DTE dies with the baud rate
set to a speed which cannot be speed sensed.
OK
Modem now has Disconnect Inactivity timer set to 1 minute. If no activity takes place
after a connection, or no DTE activity takes place after #BDR is changed, the modem
reverts to #CLS=0, #BDR=0.
#BDR=16
The DTE knows that compression requires a 38,400 bps speed, so it forces this as the
new speed. (For this example, lets say that the DTE was sending all commands,
including this one, at 2400 bps.)
OK
This OK message is sent at 2400 bps, but the modem then switches to 38,400 bps. All
subsequent commands are assumed to be sent at 38,400 bps. If the DTE does not
switch to 38,400 bps after the OK, it will not recognize the data stream
coming from the modem. The S30 timer is now active.
#VSP=20
The DTE changes its own speed to 38,400 bps and sends this command to set up the
silence detection period for 2 seconds.
OK
The modem agrees. When receiving voice data, 2 seconds of silence terminates the
Receive Mode. For handset operation, this amounts to a hang up.
#VSS =1
The DTE has decided to use level “1” silence detection sensitivity, meaning it is making
it somewhat more difficult to delete and compress silence for the modem, but expects
that when the user has hung up the handset, the silence is indeed detected. The DTE
has tried to improve the quality of the message because it knows this is a handset
operation. The #VSP timer is based upon average energy readings from the modem.
OK
The modem confirms command reception.
#VLS=?
Find out what type of devices are supported by the product.
0,1,2,3,4
The modem tells the DTE that is has a telephone line with handset (#VLS=0), an
input/output device such as a handset or speaker-phone (#VLS=1), and an output only
OK
device such as a speaker.
#VLS=1
Select the handset as the input device to be used by the modem.
VCON
The modem agrees, switches out the telephone line, switches in the handset, and the
modem enters Online Voice Command Mode. Since this is a handset, and since the
baud rate has been preselected with #BDR, this also means that DTMF detection and
reporting is now enabled. The user can pick up the telephone and send tones at this
point, which are delivered as shielded codes to the DTE, although the voice data is not
yet being passed.

CONNECT
The modem tells the DTE that it can now expect data. The modem enters Voice
Receive Mode. DTMF monitoring is still enabled as well as ADPCM data flow.

User says: “Hello, this is me, press * to skip this message. I'm happy that you have
called, so press 5 to send your fax, or you can leave your message at the beep.” User
then hangs up, the message is buffered to the DTE, and the DTE waits for the
message to end. The DTE should have some kind of maximum timer running to ensure
that the user won't speak longer than some predetermined limit. Alternatively, the DTE
can require the user to enter a DTMF tone to terminate transmission of the message to
the DTE.
q
The modem has noticed (#VSP time out) that the user has finished. The modem
reports this while staying in Voice Receive Mode. DTMF detection and reporting is still
active. The DTE now has the entire greeting message on disk.
*
The user has inadvertently pressed the “*” button, but the DTE is not interested in this
presently.
The DTE issues a key abort to switch to Online Voice Command Mode.

The modem exits Voice Receive Mode and switches to Online Voice Command Mode.
VCON
#VLS=0
The DTE did not really have to do this, but wants to make sure that it gets no more
DTMF codes from the handset. Selection of the telephone line here forces the modem
out of Online Voice Command Mode, which is equivalent to hanging up.

The modem is configured for 4-bit compression (ADPCM).
The DTE knows that compression requires a 38,400 bps speed, so it forces this as the
new speed. (For this example, lets say that the DTE was sending all commands,
including this one, at 4800 bps.)
This OK message is sent at 4800 bps, but the modem switches to 38,400 bps. All
subsequent commands are assumed to be sent at 38,400 bps. The DTE should switch
after the  following the OK. The S30 timer is now active.
Select the speaker as the output device to be used by the modem.
The modem confirms command reception, and enters Online Voice Command Mode.
Since this is an output only device, nothing more can happen yet.
This tells the modem that the DTE is ready to send voice per the current

The modem tells the DTE that it can now send data. The modem enters Voice
Transmit Mode and ADPCM data flow begins.
The DTE sends data. The modem waits 1 second before starting to transmit to the
speaker to ensure uninterrupted data flow. If the voice transmit buffer runs empty, the
transmitter is disabled.
The DTE has finished its transmission and now instructs the modem to enter Online
Voice Command Mode after emptying the voice transmit buffer.
The modem tells the DTE it is done. If the DTE sends the  before the
modem has finished transmitting all the data in its buffer, the DTE must wait for this
response. (VCON indicates that the DTE can send more data at any time with #VTX.)

#CLS=8
Configure the modem for Voice Mode again. Although the modem has already been so
configured, it is a good idea to select #CLS=8 directly following a RING because in
normal use, any S30 time-out or hang up during Voice Mode forces #CLS=0.

OK
The modem agrees with the DTE's assumption.
DT6807
The DTE makes a telephone call, and the modem dials and goes through call
progress. BUSY or NO DIALTONE can be detected, but in this example, the modem
gets ringback.
VCON
This message is sent 4.5 seconds after the third ringback cadence is detected by the
modem. The modem is in effect assuming that the remote telephone was answered on
the third ring because no fourth ringback was detected before the #VRA time-out. The
modem enters Online Voice Command Mode, and DTMF and answer tone detection is
enabled. (Note that during this period, the modem might have detected answer tone
from a data modem. In this case, the appropriate  shielded code has to be sent
prompting the DTE to pursue a data handshake.)
#VTX
The DTE has a message to send.
CONNECT
The modem says: “send it.”

The DTE sends the message: “Hi Dave. Your mother called.”

Procedure complete.
VCON
DTMF still active.
The DTE has completed its forwarding task.

This appendix describes setup strings to establish commonly used configurations.
1.
Force V.42 bis data compression with LAP-M error correction.
AT\N4%C2-K0
2.
Force V.42 bis data compression with MNP error correction.
AT\N5%C2
3.
Force MNP 5 data compression with MNP error correction.
AT\N5%C1
Note: With the setup strings in examples 1-3, if the remote is unable to negotiate the desire rate mode, the modem
will disconnect and respond with NO CARRIER.
4.
Auto negotiate data compression and error correction.
AT&F (factory defaults) or
AT\N3%C3
In this mode, the modem prefers LAP-M over MNP 10, MNP 10 over MNP 4, and V.42 bis over MNP 5. If error
correction is not negotiated, the modem will connect in normal mode.
