Command Action
Dn Dial
The dial command, which may be followed by one or more dial command modifiers, dials a phone
number:
Modifier Function
! or & Flash hook-switch for U4F (FHT) ms (default: 500
ms)
, or < Pause before continuing for S8 seconds (default: 2
seconds)
; Return to AT command mode after verifying dial
tone and dialing any digits.
@ Wait for silence. Returns “No Answer” when call is
terminated without a silent period after ringing.
G Telephone voting mode. This modifier, intended for
use in Japan, enables a special dial-in voting mode
that may be used with certain automated voting
systems. When this modifier is placed anywhere in
the dial string (e.g, ATDG), the Si2493/57/34/15/04
dials the phone number and waits S7 seconds (60
by default) to detect a busy tone. When the busy
tone is detected, the Si2493/57/34/15/04 reports
whether a polarity reversal occurs between the
time the last digit is dialed and the detection of the
busy tone. If the S7 timeout occurs prior to a busy
tone detect, “NO CARRIER” will be reported.
Polarity reversal monitoring begins after the last
digit is dialed and ends when a busy tone is
detected or S7 times out.
The Si2493/57/34/15/04 reports either “POLARITY
REVERSAL” or “NO POLARITY REVERSAL”. It is
not possible to establish a modem connection
when using this command.
L Radial Last Number
P Pulse (rotary) dialing—pulse digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9
T Tone (DTMF) dialing—DTMF digits: *, #, A, B, C,
D, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
W Wait for dial tone before continuing for S14 sec-
onds (default: 12 seconds). Blind dialing modes
X0, X1, and X3 do not affect the W command.
If the DOP bit (U7A, bit 7) is set, the “ATDTW”
command causes the Si2457/34/15 to pause dial-
ing and either report an “OK” if a dial tone is
detected or “NO DIALTONE” if a dial tone is not
detected.
En Local DTE echo.

&D3 ESC (pin 22) assertion causes ATZ command (reset and return OK result code).
&Gn Line connection rate limit—This command sets an upper limit on the line speed that the
Si2493/57/34/15/04 can connect. Note that the &Hn commands may limit the line speed as well
(&Gn not used for &H0 or &H1). Not all modulations support rates given by &G. Improper settings

&Tn Test mode.
&T0 Cancel Test Mode (Escape to Command mode to issue AT&T0). This command also reports the
number of bit errors encountered on the previous &T4 or &T5 test.
&T2 Initiate ITU-T V.54 (ANALOOP) test. Modem mode set by &H. Test loop is through the DSP and
DAA interface section of the Si2493/57/34/15/04 only. ISOmodem echoes data from TX pin
(Register 0 in parallel mode) back to RX pin (Register 0 in parallel mode). This test mode is typically
used during board-level debug.
&T3 Initiate ITU-T V.54 (ANALOOP) test. Modem mode set by &H. Test loop is through the DSP (Si2493/
57/34/15/04), DAA interface section (Si2493/57/34/15/04), ISOcap™ interface (Si3018/10), and
analog hybrid circuit (Si3018/10). ISOmodem echoes data from TX pin (Register 0 in parallel mode)
back to RX pin (Register 0 in parallel mode). Phone line termination required as in Figure 10. In
order to test only the ISOcap link operation, the hybrid and AFE codec can be removed from the test
loop by setting U62[1] (DL) = 1.
&T4 Initiate transmit as originating modem with automatic data generation. Modulation, data rate, and
symbol rate are set by &H, &G, and S41. Data pattern is set by the S40 register. Continues until the
ATH command is sent after an escape into command mode. Data is also demodulated as in
ANALOOP, and any bit errors are counted to be displayed after the test using &T0.
&T5 Initiate transmit as answering modem with automatic data generation. Modulation, data rate, and
symbol rate are set by &H, &G, and S41. Data pattern is set by the S40 register. Continues until the
ATH command is sent after an escape into command mode. Data is also demodulated as in
ANALOOP, and any bit errors are counted to be displayed after the test using &T0.
&T6 Compute checksum for firmware-upgradeable section of program memory. If no firmware upgrade
is installed, &T6 returns C:4474.
&Xn Automatic determination of telephone line type.
Notes:
1. The initial number attempted to test for an outside line is controlled by S51 (default = 1).
2. AT&$ reflects the last AT&P command issued but does not reflect any subsequent changes made by writing U-registers

%Vn Automatic Line Status Detection.
After the %V1 and %V2 commands are issued, the Si2493/57/34/15/04 automatically checks the
telephone connection for whether a line is present. If a line is present, the Si2493/57/34/15/04 auto-
matically checks if the line is already in use. Finally, the Si2493/57/34/15/04 checks line status both
before going off-hook and again before dialing. %V1 uses the fixed method, and %V2 uses the
adaptive method. %V0 (default) disables this feature.
%V0 Disable automatic line-in-use detection.
%V1 Automatic Line Status Detection - Fixed Method.
Description: Before going off-hook with the ATD, ATO, or ATA commands, the Si2493/57/34/15/04
compares the line voltage (via LVCS) to registers NOLN (U83) and LIUS (U84):

Loop Voltage Action

0 d LVCS d NOLN Report “NO LINE” and remain on-hook.
NOLN d LVCS d LIUS Report “LINE IN USE” and remain on-hook.
LIUS d LCVS Go off-hook and establish a modem connection.

Once the call has begun, the off-hook intrusion algorithm (described in "3.5.9. Intrusion Detection—
Off-Hook Condition" on page 124) operates normally. In addition, the Si2493/57/34/15/04 reports
“NO LINE” if the telephone line is completely disconnected. If the HOI bit (U77, bit 11) is set, “LINE
IN USE” is reported upon intrusion.

%V2 Automatic Line Status Detection - Adaptive Method.

Description: Before going off-hook with the ATD, ATO, or ATA commands, the Si2493/57/34/15/04
compares the line voltage (via LVCS) to the NLIU (U85) register:
Loop Voltage Action
0 d LVCS d (0.0625 x NLIU) Report “NO LINE” and remain on-hook.
(0.0625 x NLIU) < LVCS d (0.85 x NLIU) Report “LINE IN USE” and remain on-hook.
(0.85 x NLIU) < LCVS Go off-hook and establish a modem connection.
The NLIU register is updated every 1 ms with the minimum non-zero value of LVCS in the last
30 ms. This allows the Si2493/57/34/15/04 to eliminate errors due to 50/60 Hz interference and also
adapt to relatively slow changes in the on-hook dc reference value on the telephone line. This algo-
rithm does not allow any non-zero values for NLIU below 0x0007. The host may also initialize NLIU
prior to issuing the %V2 command. Once the call has begun, the off-hook intrusion algorithm
(described in "3.5.9. Intrusion Detection—Off-Hook Condition" on page 124) operates normally. In
addition, the Si2493/57/34/15/04 reports “NO LINE” if the telephone line is completely disconnected.
If the HOI (U77, bit 11) bit is set, “LINE IN USE” is reported upon intrusion.

This is compatible with seven data bits, no parity, two stop bits. Seven data bits, no parity, one stop bit may be forced by

2. When changing rates, the result code “OK” is sent at the old DTE rate. Subsequent commands must be sent at the new
rate. When the Si2493/57/34/15/04 is configured in autobaud mode, \T0 through \T15 lock the new baud rate and
disable autobaud. To eliminate any possibility of a race condition between the receipt of the result code and the
changing of the UART speed, CTS is de-asserted while the result code is being sent until after the rate has been
successfully changed. The host should send the \T command and wait for the “OK” response. After the “OK” has been
received, the host may send data at the new rate as soon as CTS is asserted. The \T command should be the last
command sent in a multi-command line and may not be used on the same command line as :U or :R commands. If it is
not, the “OK” from the \T command is sent at the old DTE rate, and any other result codes are sent at the new DTE rate.
