Basic Commands

+++ (Escape Sequence)

The escape sequence causes the modem to go to the off-line command state from the on-line data state. After this escape sequence, the modem can accept user's AT commands. The escape sequence consists of three escape code that is defined by S-Register 2 (default value: decimal 43(+)).

Do not enter any character before and/or after the "+++" for a guard time specified by S-Register 12 (default: 1 second). The duration between escape codes must also be within the guard time. After the modem recognizes a valid escape sequence, an "OK" result code is returned. If an escape sequence is valid, the escape code is transmitted to a remote modem. The ATO command is used to go back to on-line data state.

For example:
ATD 0123456 [enter]
CONNECT 19200
[data] [----]
( 1 sec pause )
+++ (Without 1 sec pause between escape codes)
( 1 sec pause )
OK (On-line command state)
ATH0 [CR] (Disconnect the line)
OK


A/ (Re-execute Command)

This command re-executes the previous command processed by the modem. This command will be useful to re-dial without entering a dial string when a line is busy or unanswered. This command is not preceded by "AT", or followed by [Enter].


In (Identification)

This command instructs the modem to return its product identification information.

  • I0 -- Returns the product code.
  • I1 -- Reports the 3 digits pre-computed ROM checksum code.
  • I2 -- Calculates a checksum of the modem firmware ROM and indicates OK or ERROR for the checksum validity.
  • I3 --Returns the modem ROM version.
  • I4 -- TBD
  • I5 -- TBD
  • I6 -- Returns the modem data pump model.

Zn (Modem Reset)

This command resets the modem and recalls the stored configuration as defined at power on time.

  • Z0 -- Reset and recall stored user profile 0.
  • Z1 -- Reset and recall stored user profile 1.

&Fn (Recall Factory Profile)

This command reloads the factory default profile.

  • &F0 -- Recall Factory Profile 0. Factory Profile 0 contains the default values from the modem chipset supplier.
  • &F1 -- Recall Factory Profile 1. Factory Profile 1 contains the default values defined by the product manufacturer.

&Jn (Telephone Jack Control)

This command is only included for compatibility and performs no function. The value is written into S-Register 21.


&V (View Configuration)

This command displays the current active configuration, stored user profiles, and the first four stored telephone numbers. Applications may change these profile.

If the modem's non-volatile memory is detected as defective by the modem's NVRAM test, the modem will display NVRAM FAILED OR NOT INSTALLED


&Wn (Store User Profile)

This command stores the current, active configuration including S-Registers into non-volatile memory as stored user's profile 0 or 1. Storable parameters can be viewed by &V command. Stored parameters can be recalled into active configuration by Zn command or at power on.

  • &W0 -- Store active configuration as user's profile 0.
  • &W1 -- Store active configuration as user's profile 1.

&Yn (Default User Profile)

This command selects which of two user's profiles will be loaded into the active configuration following Power on Reset.

  • &Y0 -- Selects power up configuration as user's profile 0.
  • &Y1 -- Selects power up configuration as user's profile 1.

&Zn=x (Store Phone Number)

This command stores up to 4 telephone number dial strings into one of 4 non-volatile memory locations specified by n. This stored phone number can be used for later abridged dialing with the DS=n command.

n: Entry number (range 0-3)
x: dial string less than 45 digits (including dial modifiers)
