Modem AT Command Set

More Tutorials

A complete summary and explanation of the AT command set for Hayes compatible dial-
up modems is given on this page. Defaults are shown in boldface.

Command Function
AT Attention - this precedes all commands except A/ and +++
A/ Execute previous command - does not require a <CR>
Causes the modem to go off hook. If a call is coming in, the modem will try
to answer it. The precedure for answering a call is a short silence and then
A an answer tone. Sending a character to the modem during this procedure
will abort the answer sequence. The amount of time the modem will wait
for a carrier is programmable by modifying the S7 register.
B0 Select CCITT V.22 (1200 bps)
B1 Select Bell 212A (1200 bps)
Select CCITT V23 - Originate mode will transmit data at 75 bps and
receive data at 1200 bps. Answer mode will transmit data at 1200 bps and
B2
receive data at 75 bps. The command N0 (disable auto mode) must be
selected.
D alone will take the modem off-hook and wait for a dial tone. (see X
D command for exceptions). The length of time to wait for a dial tone before
dialing is programmable in register S6.
ATDmn will dial a phone number where m is the modifier: L, W, ,, ;, @, or
Dmn
S. It will dial the telephone number n.
L Dial last number
Wait for dial tone. If you have selected X0 or X1 (disable dial tone
W
detection), then you can use this modifier to override that setting.
Pause during dial. Thie amount of time to pause is determined in register
,
S8.
Return to command mode after dialing. It does not wait for carrier or hang
;
up.
Wait for 5 seconds of silence. This is used to access systems that do not
@
provide a dial tone.
Hook flash. Causes the modem to go on-hook for 0.5 seconds. This is used
!
in PBX systems and for voice features like call waiting.
Dials a stored number. Up to ten numbers can be stored, and the addresses
S=(0-9) are from 0 to 9. To store a number into one of these addresses, use the &Z
command.
Commands issued to the modem are not echoed to the local terminal. This
E0 only matters in the command mode. It does not affect the modem's ability to
send response codes.

E1 Commands are echoed to the local terminal.

H0 Force modem on-hook (hang-up)
H1 Force modem off-hook (to answer or dial).
I0 Return numeric product code
I1 Return hardware variation code
I2 Report internal code
I3 Report software revision number
I4 Report product feature listing
L0 Speaker volume zero
L1 Speaker volume low
L2 Speaker volume low
Speaker volume low (Hardware currently limits volume adjustment to
L3
on/off)
M0 Speaker always off
M1 Speaker on until carrier detected
M2 Speaker always on
M3 Speaker on during answering only
Disable auto-mode. This forces the modem to connect at the speed specified
N0
in register S37
Enable auto-mode. The modem will answer at the highest available line
N1
speed and ignore any ATBn command.
Return to data mode. If you have entered the command mode using the time
O0 independent escape sequence, this will put you back in data mode without
going on-hook.
Retrain the modem. If the line condition has changed since the original
O1 connection, retraining the modem will cause it to reconnect at the most
efficient speed for the current line condition.
Pulse dialing allows the modem to work on telephone networks where one
P is not supported. Pulse and tone dialing cannot be mixed on the same
command line.
Q0 Enable response to DTE.
Disable response to DTE. The modem does not respond to the terminal.
Q1 Issuing a command will not produce a response (unless the command is
something like ATZ, which will restore this setting to default).
Set default S-register. Any subsequent = or ? commands will modify the
Sn
default S register.
Sn=m Set register n to value m
Sn? Return the value of register n
Tone dialing - Pulse and tone dialing can not be mixed on the same
T
command line.

V0 Result codes will be sent in numeric form. (See the result code table)

W0
about what Error Correction or Data Compression protocol is in use.
Report DCE speed, Error Correction/Data Compression protocol, and DTE
W1
speed
W2 Report DCE speed only
Send OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR and NO ANSWER.
X0
Busy and dial tone detection are disabled.
X1 Send X0 messages and CONNECT speed
X2 Send X1 messages and NO DIAL TONE.
Send X2 messages and BUSY and RING BACK. Dial tone detection is
X3
disabled.

Enable long space disconnect; with error correction, hang up after sending
Y1 1.6 second long space; without error correction, hang up after 4 second long
space.
Z0 Reset modem to profile 0
Z1 Reset modem to profile 1
This is the default escape sequence. Transfers the modem from data mode
to command mode. Must be preceded by at least 1 second of no characters
+++
and followed by one second of no characters. O0 (ATO0 or ATO) returns
the modem to data mode.
=n Sets the value of the default S register.
