Page 219: Appendix C At Commands
Appendix C AT Commands In most cases, you will not need to type AT commands manually. However, there might be some occasions when you will need to do so. This chapter describes AT commands for data mode. Fax and voice commands are taken care of by application software.
Page 220 AT Commands Answer command This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call. Communication standard setting This command determines the communication standard CCITT or Bell. Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bps. Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bps (default).
Page 221 AT Commands Disables echo to the computer. Enables echo to the computer (default). Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise Hook control This command instructs the modem to go on-hook to disconnect a call, or off-hook to make the phone line busy. Modem goes on-hook (default).
Page 222 AT Commands Result Codes: n=0,1,2,3 ERROR Otherwise Modulation handshake This command controls whether or not the local modem performs a negotiated handshake at connection time with the remote modem when the communication speed of the two modems is different. When originating or answering, this is for handshake only at the communication standard specified by S37 and the ATB command.
Page 223 AT Commands Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise Select tone dialing This command instructs the modem to send DTMF tones while dialing. Dialed digits are tone dialed until a P command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting. DCE response format This command controls whether result codes (including call progress and negotiation progress messages) are displayed as words or their numeric...
Page 224 AT Commands X4 (default) Enable Enable OK, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NODIALTONE, BUSY, CONNECT <RATE>, DELAYED, BLACKLISTED, REORDER, WARBLE, CALL WAITING DETECTED Enable Enable OK, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NODIALTONE, BUSY, CONNECT <RATE>, RRING, NO BONGTONE, DELAYED, BLACKLISTED, REORDER, WARBLE, CALL WAITING DETECTED Dial tone detect Disabled: The modem dials a call regardless of whether it detects a dial...
Page 225 AT Commands Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise &Dn DTR control This command interprets how the modem responds to the state of the DTR signal and changes to the DTR signal. &D0 Ignore. The modem ignores the true status of DTR and treats it as always on.
Page 226 AT Commands Result Codes: n=0,3,4 ERROR Otherwise &Pn Select Pulse Dial Make/Break Ratio (WW) &P0 Selects 39% - 61% make/break ratio at 10 pulses per second. &P1 Selects 33% - 67% make/break ratio at 10 pulses per second. &P2 Selects 33% - 67% make/break ratio at 20 pulses per second.
Page 227 AT Commands &Zn=x Store telephone number This command is used to store up to four dialing strings in the modem’s nonvolatile memory for later dialing. The format for the command is &Zn=“stored number” where n is the location 0-3 to which the number should be written.
Page 228 AT Commands Enable protocol result code appended to DCE speed (default). Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise View numbers in blacklist If blacklisting is in effect, this command displays the numbers for which the last call attempted in the past two hours failed. The ERROR result code appears in regions that do not require blacklisting.
Page 229: Appendix D S-Registers
Appendix D S-registers S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails.
Page 230 S-registers Range: 0-255 Default: 0 Units: rings Ring counter This register is read only. The value of S1 is incremented with each ring. If no ring occurs over a six-second interval, this register is cleared. Range: 0-225 Default: 0 Units: rings AT escape character (user defined) This register determines the ASCII values used for an escape...
Page 231 S-registers Command line editing character (user defined) This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII.
Page 232 S-registers Comma pause time This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encounters a comma (,) in the dial command string. In some countries/regions, S8 will set both wait before dialing and comma pause time. Range: 0-255 Default: 2 Units:...
Page 233 S-registers S37 Dial line rate S37 = 0 (default) maximum modem speed S37 = 1 reserved S37 = 2 1200/75 bps S37 = 3 300 bps S37 = 4 reserved S37 = 5 1200 bps S37 = 6 2400 bps S37 = 7 4800 bps S37 = 8...

Page 237 Appendix E V.90 The TOSHIBA internal modem uses V.90 technology. The modem is capable of downstream speeds of 56kbps (kilobits per second) when connected to an Internet service provider that supports V.90. As with any modem, the actual throughput (speed of data transfer) depends on analog telephone line conditions, which can vary considerably.
