CHAPTER 3 STANDARD AT COMMANDS
A number of different commands can be included in one
line, separated by spaces. The command line must end with
the ASCII character in the S3 or S4 Register (or both of
them together). The standard value for S3 is carriage return
(<CR>=13 decimal) and for S4 is line feed (<LF>=10 deci-
mal).
A command line without <CR>, <LF> will remain in the
command buffer until a <CR>, <LF> is entered, or until it is
broken off with <Cntrl-X>. Once <CR>, <LF> is received, the
modem will carry out the commands following the AT and
will answer with an appropriate modem message.
The maximum length of a command line is 40 characters.
If the capacity of the command buffer is exceeded, the mo-
dem will issue a fault message.
Table 1 Standard AT Commands
ATA Answer Mode: Modem uses telephone line
A/ Repeat last command line; entered without “AT”
ATB Switch between Bell and CCITT Standards at 300 and 1200 bps
ATDn Select telephone number “n”
ATE Control modem command echoes on screen
ATI Information about modem product code
ATO Return to on-line operation (Data mode) after entering Esc sequence
ATQ Control modem messages
ATSr? Read Register “r” and issue value
ATSr=n Write value “n” in Register “r”
ATV Format modem messages
ATX Modem function when dialling
ATY Line break when a space signal is received
ATZ Modem reset and load one of the stored modem profiles
+++ Escape sequence for temporary return to command mode
AT&C Control M5-(DCD) signal at serial interface
Detailed Command Descriptions
A – Answer Mode
This command is used for manually setting up a connection
via a telephone connected to the same line. When the “A”
command is entered, the modem switches into the tele-
phone line when the telephone receiver is lifted. In this con-
dition, it transmits in “Answer” mode (Upper channel “oK”). If
further characters are entered after the “A” command and
before a connection is made, the modem will interrupt the
connection set-up and go into the Command mode. It is-
sues the message “NO CARRIER”.
If no carrier is received by the other party after the waiting
time set in the “S7” register, the modem will answer with
“NO CARRIER” and return to the command mode. If the mo-
dem receives the carrier, it will give a “CONNECT” message
and switch into Data mode.
