Command Reference
The syntax and procedures described in this section are based on V.250 and
V.253 with additional information included for implemented extensions, behavioral
differences beyond V.250, and legacy commands.
Alphabet
The T.50 International Alphabet 5 (IA5) is used in this document. Only the low-
order seven bits of each character are significant to the modem; any eighth or
higher-order bit(s), if present, are ignored for the purpose of identifying commands
and parameters. Lower-case characters are considered identical to their upper-
case equivalents when received by the modem from the DTE. Result codes from
the modem are in upper case.
Any modem responses are mentioned in terms of their alphabetic format; the
actual response issued will depend on the setting of parameters that affect
response formats, e.g., Q and V commands.
A command line is made up of three elements: the prefix, the body, and the
termination character.
The command line prefix consists of the characters "AT" or "at" or, to repeat the
execution of the previous command line, the characters "A/" or "a/".
character may not appear in the body. The modem can accept at least 80
characters in the body.
The termination character may be selected by a user option (parameter S3), the
default being CR.
The modem checks characters from the DTE first to see if they match the
termination character (S3), then the editing character (S5), before checking for
other characters. This ensures that these characters will be properly recognized
even if they are set to values that the modem uses for other purposes. If S3 and
S5 are set to the same value, a matching character will be treated as matching S3
(S3 is checked before S5).
The modem may echo characters received from the DTE during command state
and online command state back to the DTE, depending on the setting of the E
command. If enabled, characters received from the DTE are echoed in the same
format as received. Invalid characters in the command line or incomplete or
improperly-formed command line prefixes may not be echoed.
If the prefix "A/" or "a/" is received, the modem immediately executes once again
the body of the preceding command line. No editing is possible, and no
termination character is necessary. A command line may be repeated multiple
times in this manner. Responses to the repeated command line are issued using
format of the original command line. If "A/" is received before any command line
has been executed, the preceding command line is assumed to have been empty
(that results in an OK result code).
There are two types of commands: action commands and parameter commands.
Commands of either type may be included in command lines, in any order.
Parameters may be "set" (to store a value or values for later use), "read" (to
determine the current value or values stored), or "tested" (to determine whether or
not the equipment implements the parameter, and the ranges of values
supported).
The format of Basic Syntax commands, except for the D and S commands, is as
follows:
<command>[<number>]
<number> may be a string of one or more characters from "0" through "9"
representing a decimal integer value. Commands that expect a <number> are
noted in the description of the command. If a command expects <number> and it
is missing (<command> is immediately followed in the command line by another
<command> or the termination character), the value "0" is assumed. If a
command does not expect a <number> and a number is present, an ERROR is
generated. All leading "0"s in <number> are ignored by the modem.
See the D command for details on the format of the information that follows it.
S-Parameters
Commands that begin with the letter "S" are known as "S-parameters". The
number following the "S" indicates the "parameter number" being referenced. If
the number is not recognized as a valid parameter number, an ERROR result
code is issued.
Immediately following this number, either a "?" or "=" character must appear. "?" is
used to read the current value of the indicated S-parameter; "=" is used to set the
S-parameter to a new value.
S<parameter_number>?
S<parameter_number>=[<value>]
If the "=" is used, the new value to be stored in the S-parameter is specified in
decimal following the "=". If no value is given (i.e., the end of the command line
occurs or the next command follows immediately), the S-parameter specified may
be set to 0, or an ERROR result code issued and the stored value left unchanged.
The ranges of acceptable values are given in the description of each S-parameter.
If the "?" is used, the modem transmits a single line of information text to the DTE.
The text portion of this information text consists of exactly three characters, giving
the value of the S-parameter in decimal, with leading zeroes included.
Both actions and parameters have names, which are used in the related
commands. Names always begin with the character "+". Following the "+", from
one to 16 additional characters appear in the command name. These characters
will be selected from the following set:
! (IA5 2/1)
% (IA5 2/5)
- (IA5 2/13)
. (IA5 2/14)
/ (IA5 2/15)
: (IA5 3/10)
_ (IA5 5/15)
The first character following the "+" must be an alphabetic character in the range
of "A" through "Z". This first character generally implies the application in which a
command is used (e.g., F for Fax or V for voice).
Values
Numeric Constants
In all numeric constants, the most significant digit is specified first. Leading "0"
characters are ignored by the modem. No spaces, hyphens, periods, commas,
parentheses, or other generally-accepted numeric formatting characters are
permitted in numeric constants; note in particular that no "H" suffix is appended to
the end of hexadecimal constants.
String Constants
Compound Values
Actions may have more than one subparameter associated with them, and
parameters may have more than one value. These are known as "compound
values", and their treatment is the same in both actions and parameters.
A compound value consists of any combination of numeric and string values (as
defined in the description of the action or parameter). The comma character must
be included as a separator, before the second and all subsequent values in the
compound value. If a value is not specified (i.e., defaults assumed), the required
comma separator must be specified; however, trailing comma characters may be
omitted if all associated values are also omitted.
Action Commands
There are two general types of action commands: those that have associated
subparameter values that affect only that invocation of the command, and those
that have no subparameters.
+<name>
The following syntax is used for actions that have one subparameter:
+<name>[=<value>]
The following syntax is used for actions that have two or more subparameters:
+<name>[=<compound_value>]
For actions that accept subparameters, if all subparameters are defined as being
optional, and the default values for all subparameters are satisfactory, the data
terminal equipment (DTE) may use the first syntax above (i.e., omit the "=" from
the action execution command as well as all of the subparameter value string).
If all other relevant criteria are met (e.g., the modem is in the proper state), the
command is executed with any indicated subparameters. If <name> is not
recognized, the modem issues the ERROR result code and terminates processing
of the command line. An ERROR is also generated if a subparameter is specified
for an action that does not accept subparameters, if too many subparameters are
specified, if a mandatory subparameter is not specified, if a value is specified of
the wrong type, or if a value is specified that is not within the supported range.
The DTE may test if an action command is implemented in the modem by using
the syntax:
+<name>=?
If the modem does not recognize the indicated name, it returns an ERROR result
code and terminates processing of the command line. If the modem does
recognize the action name, it returns an OK result code. If the named action
accepts one or more subparameters, the modem sends an information text
response to the DTE, prior to the OK result code, specifying the values supported
by the modem for each such subparameter, and possibly additional information.
The format of this information text is defined for each action command.
Parameter Commands
Parameter Types
"Read-write" parameters may be set by the DTE, to store a value or values for
later use. Read-write parameters may be set, read, and tested.
Parameters may take either a single value, or multiple (compound) values. Each
value may be either numeric or string; the definition of the parameter will specify
the type of value for each subparameter. Attempting to store a string value in a
numeric parameter, or a numeric value in a string parameter, is an error.
The definition of the parameter indicates, for each value, whether the specification
of that value is mandatory or optional. For optional values, the definition indicates
the assumed (default) value if none is specified; the assumed value may be either
a previous value (i.e., the value of an omitted subparameter retains its previous
value), or a fixed value (e.g., the value of an omitted subparameter is assumed to
be zero). Generally, the default value for numeric parameters is 0, and the default
value for string parameters is "" (empty string).
The following syntax is used for parameters that accept a single value:
+<name>=[<value>]
The following syntax is used for parameters that accept more than one value:
+<name>=[<compound_value>]
For each implemented parameter, if all mandatory values are specified, and all
values are valid according to the definition of the parameter, the specified values
are stored. If <name> is not recognized, one or more mandatory values are
omitted, or one or more values are of the wrong type or outside the permitted
range, the modem issues the ERROR result code and terminates processing of
the command line. An ERROR is also generated if too many values are specified.
The DTE may determine the current value or values stored in a parameter by
using the following syntax:
+<name>?
The modem responds by sending the current values stored for the parameter to
the DTE in an information text response. The format of this response is described
in the definition of the parameter. Generally, the values are sent in the same form
in which they would be issued by the DTE in a parameter setting command; if
multiple values are supported, they will generally be separated by commas, as in
a parameter setting command.
The DTE may test if a parameter is implemented in the modem, and determine
the supported values, by using the syntax:
+<name>=?
If the modem does not recognize the indicated name, it returns an ERROR result
code and terminates processing of the command line. If the modem does
recognize the parameter name, it returns an information text response to the DTE,
followed by an OK result code. The information text response indicates the values
supported by the modem for each such subparameter, and possibly additional
information. The format of this information text is defined for each parameter.
Extended syntax commands may appear on the same command line after a basic
syntax command without a separator, in the same manner as concatenation of
basic syntax commands.
Issuing Commands
All characters in a command line must be issued at the same data rate, and with
The modem will ignore any command line that is not properly terminated. The
modem may consider 30 seconds of mark idle time between any two characters
as an improperly terminated command line. In this case the modem may or may
not generate an ERROR message. The modem will ignore any characters
received from the DTE that are not part of a properly-formatted command line.
If the maximum number of characters that the modem can accept in the body is
exceeded, an ERROR result code is generated after the command line is
terminated.
The DTE will not begin issuing a subsequent command line until at least one-tenth
of a second has elapsed after receipt of the entire result code issued by the
modem in response to the preceding command line.
Executing Commands
Aborting Commands
Some action commands that require time to execute may be aborted while in
progress; these are explicitly noted in the description of the command. Aborting of
commands is accomplished by the transmission from the DTE to the modem of
any character. A single character is sufficient to abort the command in progress;
however, characters transmitted during the first 125 milliseconds after
transmission of the termination character are ignored (to allow for the DTE to
append additional control characters such as line feed after the command line
termination character). To ensure that the aborting character is recognized by the
modem, it should be sent at the same rate as the preceding command line; the
modem may ignore characters sent at other rates. When such an aborting event
is recognized by the modem, the modem terminates the command in progress
and returns an appropriate result code to the DTE, as specified for the particular
command.
The modem reacts to undefined numbers and S-parameter values in one of three
ways:
• Issue the ERROR result code, and leave the previous value of the
parameter unchanged;
• Issue the OK result code, and leave the previous value of the param-
eter unchanged; or,
• Issue the OK result code, and set the parameter value to the valid
value nearest to that specified in the command line.
Modem Responses
While in command state and online command state, the modem will issue
responses using the same rate, word length, and parity as the most recently
received DTE command line. In the event that no DTE command has yet been
received, rate, word length, and parity used will depend on the capabilities of the
modem.
When the modem transitions from the command state or online command state to
the online data state, the result code CONNECT should be issued at the bit rate
and parity used during the command state. When the modem transitions from the
online data state to the command state or online command state, the result codes
should be issued at the bit rate used during the online data state. Thereafter, any
unsolicited result codes should use the bit rate and parity of the last command line
issued by the DTE to the modem.
Responses
There are two types of responses that may be issued by the modem: information
text and result codes.
Information Text.
Information text responses consist of three parts: a header, information text, and a
trailer:
The characters transmitted for the header are determined by the V command.
The trailer consists of two characters, being the character having the ordinal value
of parameter S3 followed by the character having the ordinal value of parameter
S4.
Result codes consist of three parts: a header, the result text, and a trailer.
The characters transmitted for the header and trailer are determined by the V
command setting.
There are three types of result codes: final, intermediate, and unsolicited. Result
codes are described in Section 3.4.
A final result code indicates the completion of a full modem action and an ability to
accept new commands from the DTE.
Unsolicited result codes (such as RING) indicate the occurrence of an event not
directly associated with the issuance of a command from the DTE.
The general format of extended syntax result codes is the same as result codes
defined in TIA602 with regard to headers and trailers. The characters specified in
S-parameters S3 and S4 are used in headers and trailers of extended syntax
result codes as they are in basic format result codes. The setting of the V
command affects the headers and trailers associated with extended syntax result
codes in the same manner as basic format result codes; however, unlike basic
format result codes, extended syntax result codes have no numeric equivalent,
and are always issued in alphabetic form.
Extended syntax result codes may be either final, intermediate, or unsolicited; the
type being indicated in the definition of the result code.
Extended syntax result codes are prefixed by the "+" character to avoid
duplication of basic format result codes specified in TIA-602. Following the "+"
character, the name of the result code appears; result code names follow the
same rules as command names.
Extended syntax result codes may include the reporting of values. The definition
of the result code specifies whether or not values are appended to the result code,
and, if so, how many, their types, and their assumed default values if omitted.
Data/voice Modes. When no values are to be reported, the result code appears in
the simplest form:
+<name>
+<name>: <value>
A single space character separates the colon character from the <value>; no
space appears between the result code name and the colon. If multiple values are
to be reported with the result code, the form is:
+<name>: <compound_value>
Fax Modes
<value> or (<value>)
The modem may insert intermediate <CR> characters in very long information
text responses in order to avoid overrunning DTE receive buffers. If intermediate
<CR> characters are included, the modem does not include the character
sequences "0 <CR>"or "OK<CR>", so that DTE can avoid false detection of the
end of these information text responses.
Range of Values
For example, the following are some examples of value range indications:
When the action accepts more than one subparameter, or the parameter accepts
more than one value, the set of supported values is presented as a list of the
parenthetically-enclosed value range strings described above, separated by
commas. For example, the information text in response to testing an action that
accepts three subparameters, and supports various ranges for each of them,
could appear as follows:
(0),(1-3),(0,4-6,9,11-12)
This indicates that the first subparameter accepts only the value 0, the second
accepts any value from 1 through 3 inclusive, and the third subparameter accepts
any of the values 0, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, or 12.
Command Guidelines
The commands used to control and report modem operation in data modem mode
are defined in this section.
The Data Modem Mode commands and responses described in this section are
applicable when command +FCLASS=0. (See +FCLASS for the definition of the
FCLASS command.)
The default values are typical of a fully configured modem supporting all data
rates and options. The actual default value is dependent upon modem software as
defined by the .INF File.
Commands are accepted by the modem once the previous command has been
fully executed, which is normally indicated by the return of an appropriate result
code. Execution of commands D and A, either as a result of a direct command or
a re-execute command, will be aborted if another character is entered before
completion of the handshake.
When the modem has established a connection and has entered on-line data
mode, it is possible to break into the data transmission in order to issue further
commands to the modem in an on-line command mode. This is achieved by the
DTE sending to the modem a sequence of three ASCII characters specified by
register S2. The default character is '+'. The maximum time allowed between
receipt of the last character of the three escape character sequence from the DTE
and sending of the OK result code to the DTE is controlled by the S12 register.
Data Commands
The modem will respond to the commands detailed below. Parameters applicable
to each command are listed with the command description. The defaults shown
correspond to default values provided in the .INF File.
This command instructs the modem to reset to default values as altered by non-
volatile parameter storage. If the modem is connected to the line, it will be
disconnected from the line, terminating any call in progress.
All of the functions of the command are completed before the modem issues the
result code. The DTE should not include additional commands on the same
command line after the Z command because such commands are ignored.

intended to permit the user to identify the overall capabilities of the modem. In
particular, if the modem implements a particular modem control standard that
uses Extended Syntax Commands, and if that modem control standard includes
command(s) that indicate general capabilities, the +<names>(s) of those
commands will be reported to the modem in response to a +GCAP command.

This parameter determines how the state of the Received Line Signal Detector
(RLSD) output relates to the detection of received line signal from the distant end.
Changing the parameter will take effect immediately in both the command and
online command states.
In &C1 mode of operation, RLSD is not turned off until all data previously received
from the remote modem is delivered to the local DTE. However, such buffered

Call Control
D - Dial
This command directs the modem to go on-line, dial according to the entered
string and attempt to establish a connection. If no dial string is supplied, the
modem will go on-line and attempt the handshake in originate mode. NOTE: If the
ATD command is issued before the S1 register has cleared, the modem will
respond with the NO CARRIER result code.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will behave as a data modem and will
attempt to connect to another data modem. The modem will have up to the period
of time specified by register S6 or S7 to wait for carrier and complete the
handshake. If this time expires before the modem can complete the handshake,
the modem will go on-hook with the NO CARRIER response. This command will
be aborted upon receipt of any DTE character before completion of the
handshake.
Syntax
D<modifier>
Defined Values
<modifier> The valid dial string parameters (modifiers) are described below.
Punctuation characters may be used for clarity, with parentheses,
hyphen, and spaces ignored.
L Re-dial last number: the modem will re-dial the last valid
telephone number. The L must be immediately after the D with all
the following characters ignored).
P Select pulse dialing: pulse dial the numbers that follow until a "T"
is encountered. Affects current and subsequent dialing. Some
countries prevent changing dialing modes after the first digit is
dialed.
T Select tone dialing: tone dial the numbers that follow until a "P" is
encountered. Affects current and subsequent dialing. Some
countries prevent changing dialing modes after the first digit is
dialed.
W Wait for dial tone: the modem will wait for dial tone before dialing
the digits following "W". If dial tone is not detected within the time
specified by S7 or S6, the modem will abort the rest of the
sequence, return on-hook, and generate an error message.
! Flash: the modem will go on-hook for a time defined by the value
of S29. Country requirements may limit the time imposed.
@ Wait for silence: the modem will wait for at least 5 seconds of
silence in the call progress frequency band before continuing with
the next dial string parameter. If the modem does not detect these
5 seconds of silence before the expiration of the call abort timer
(S7), the modem will terminate the call attempt with a NO
ANSWER message. If busy detection is enabled, the modem
may terminate the call with the BUSY result code. If answer tone
arrives during execution of this parameter, the modem will
handshake.
$ Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial
string. If the tone is not detected within the time specified by S7 or
S6, the modem will abort the rest of the sequence, return on-
hook, and generate an error message.
& Wait for credit card dialing tone before continuing with the dial
string. If the tone is not detected within the time specified by S7 or
S6, the modem will abort the rest of the sequence, return on-
hook, and generate an error message.
This command forces DTMF dialing until the next P dial modifier or P command is
received. The modem will set an S-Parameter bit to indicate that all subsequent
dialing should be conducted in tone mode. Note that the DP command will
override this command. Clears S14 bit 5.
Syntax
Result Codes
OK
This command forces pulse dialing until the next T dial modifier or T command is
As soon as a dial command is executed which explicitly specifies the dialing mode
for that particular call (e.g., ATDT..), this command is overridden so that all future
dialing will be tone dialed. (See T command.)
A - Answer
The modem will go off-hook and will attempt to answer an incoming call if correct
conditions are met. Upon successful completion of answer handshake, the
modem will go on-line in answer mode. This command may be affected by the
state of Line Current Sense, if enabled. (Most countries do not require Line
Current Sense.) Operation is also dependent upon +FCLASS command and
country-specific requirements.
If +FCLASS=0 is selected, the modem will enter the connect state after
exchanging carrier with the remote modem. If no carrier is detected within a
period specified in register S7, the modem will hang up. Any character entered
during the connect sequence will abort the connection attempt.
H - Disconnect (Hang-Up)
This command initiates a hang up sequence. This command may not be available
for some countries due to PTT restrictions.
Syntax

In V.80 Synchronous Access Mode, this optional compound parameter allows the
DTE to determine the effective input buffer size in the modem for data on transmit
data from the DTE, to control the thresholds used for flow control of such data,
and to control how often the modem reports to the DTE the number of octets in
this buffer. Note that the DTE can adjust its own thresholds for flow control of data
on received data from the modem.
Syntax
+ITF=[<off>[,<on>[,<report_period>]]]
Defined Values
<off> Determines the threshold, in octets, above which the modem will
generate a flow off signal. Applicable in Synchronous Access
Mode.
The modem returns the ERROR result code if the DTE specifies
that the <off> subparameter be set to a value less than or equal
to the <on> subparameter; in this case, the current parameter
value settings are set to default values.
<on> Determines the threshold, in octets, below which the modem will
generate a flow on signal. Applicable in Synchronous Access
Mode.

The modem logs aspects of their operation for each call, and saves these results
until cleared by one of the following events:
Power off
Hard reset (e.g., negate DTR with &D3 set; reset button)
These results are NOT cleared by changing DTR, V.24 circuit 108.2, if &D0, &D1
or &D2.
For purposes of this command, there are four data call states, and associated
status issues:
Call Setup - Calling DCE: get dial tone, generate dial digits, detect call progress
signals. - Answering DCE: detect ringing, detect CallerID, etc.
Data Transfer - Bit-error rates, for each direction - Rate renegotiation - Retraining
Call Termination
- loss of carrier
Command Syntax
In response to this command, the modem will report one or more lines of
information text as defined below. Information text format conforms to V.250; each
line is preceded by a <CR><LF> pair, and terminated by <CR><LF>. (CR and LF
characters may be changed by writing new values to the contents of registers S3
and S4, respectively.)
The modem may generate a single line or multiple lines, followed by a standard
OK final result code. For example, if call setup failed, only that result is useful.
Each information text line is formatted as follows, including one or more
key=value pairs:
Syntax
#UD

reported MSD first. Leading 0's may be deleted. See examples in Table 3-12.
This command is intended for use after call termination. However, codes are
defined so that a modem can respond before the first call is placed, and during a
call for live monitoring purposes. For example, key 60, call termination, has value
1 defined, indicating that the call is still in progress.
There are at least two ways to do this. First, the DTE could switch the modem to
On-Line command state, issue the command, capture the responses and then
issue an ATO command. For smoother on-line monitoring, in-band means defined
in ITU V.80 are recommended if available in the modem. If V.80 methods are
used, each response line shall be a separate extended in-band message.
The modem may insert a delay (e.g., 10 ms) between information text lines.
The code tables include values for data and fax calls. Some of the codes are
applicable only to data calls (e.g., data compression), some are applicable only to
call origination (e.g., busy, answering signal detection) and some are applicable
only to the answering modem (e.g., calling signal detection).
callCleared: indicates that the DCE has gone on hook and that the previously
existing network connection has been cleared. These value are hex, converted
from decimal in V.58. callCleared codes are described in Table 3-11.

This section describes the +P (PCM DCE) and -Q commands and parameters
used to control the V.92 Mode operation.
This command controls the operation of the modem in the presence of call
waiting.
Syntax
+PCW=<value>
Defined Values
1 Hang-up.
Result Codes
OK <value> = 0, 1, or 2.
ERROR Otherwise.
Command: +PCW?
Command: +PCW=?
This command controls the selection of modem-on-hold in the modem. The action
of the modem in response to modem-on-hold events is determined by the state of
this command as well as the state of a negotiated handshake with a V.92-
compliant server in V.92 Mode.
Syntax
+PMH=<value>
Defined Values
Result Codes
ERROR Otherwise.
Command: +PMH?
Command: +PMH=?
This command controls whether or not the modem will grant or deny a modem-on-
hold (MOH) request as well as setting the MOH Timeout value.
Syntax
+PMHT=<value>
Defined Values
Result Codes
ERROR Otherwise
Command: +PMHT?
Command: +PMHT=?
Note: If modem-on-hold is enabled but the remote server does not support V.92 then the modem will always
report 0 to show that the hold request is denied.
Syntax
+PMHR
Response
+PMHR:<value>
Result Codes
ERROR Otherwise
This command controls the selection of PCM upstream in the modem. The actual
state of PCM upstream is determined by the state of this command as well as the
state of a negotiated handshake with a V.92-compliant server in V.92 Mode.
Syntax
+PIG=<value>
Defined Values
Result Codes
ERROR Otherwise
Command: +PIG?
Command: +PIG=?
This command causes the modem to initiate the flash hook sequence when in the
modem-onhold procedure. This enables switching to the second call (incoming or
outgoing). This command applies only to V.92 modem-on-hold. There are no
parameters associated with this command.
Syntax
+PMHF
Result Code
This command controls the global enabling or disabling of the V.92 shortened
Phase 1 and Phase 2 startup procedures. This command is used in conjunction
with the +PSS command.
Syntax
+PQC=<value>
Defined Values
2 Not supported.
Result Codes
ERROR Otherwise
Command: +PQC?
Example: +PQC: 0
Command: +PQC=?
This command causes a calling modem to force either a V.92 short or full startup
sequence as defined by the +PQC command on the next and subsequent
connections.
Syntax
+PSS=<value>
Defined Values
1 Reserved.
2 Forces the use of the full startup procedures on the next and
subsequent connections independent of the setting of the +PQC
command.
Result Codes
ERROR Otherwise
Command: +PSS?
Command: +PSS=?
This command causes the modem to use full startup procedures on the next
connection attempt regardless of the setting of the +PQC command. After this
attempt, the modem will select the startup procedure as defined by the +PQC
command. If a shortened startup procedure is enabled by the +PQC command,
then the quick connect profile will also be updated on the next connection attempt.
Syntax
-QCPC
Result Code
ERROR Otherwise
This command controls whether or not the modem will save the generated quick
connect profile.
Syntax
-QCPS=<value>
Defined Values

Syntax
S=?
Result Codes
Sn - Read/Write S-Parameter
If the number "n" is outside the range of the S-Parameters available, the modem
will return the ERROR message. If the value "v" is outside the range permitted for
a given S-Parameter, the modem will return the ERROR message. Input and
output are always in decimal format. Note that some S-Parameters are read-only.
In some cases, writing to the S-Parameter will appear to be accepted but the
value will not actually be written.
Factory Defaults
The factory default values are stored in the Registry and are loaded into the active
configuration at power up or by the Z command. In addition, the default profile is
subsequently loaded, and may change some of the factory default values.
The default values in the Registry may be loaded at any time by entering the &F
command.
S-Parameters - 92
USRobotics
Command Reference
S-Parameter Definitions
S0 sets the number of the rings required before the modem automatically answers
a call.
Default: 0
S1 - Ring Counter
S1 is incremented each time the modem detects a ring signal on the telephone
line. S1 is cleared if no rings occur over an eight second interval. Range: 0-255
rings Default: 0
S2 - Escape Character
S2 holds the decimal value of the ASCII character used as the escape character.
The default value corresponds to an ASCII '+'. A value over 127 disables the
escape process, i.e., no escape character will be recognized.
Default: 43 (+)
S3 sets the decimal value of the command line and result code terminator
character. Pertains to asynchronous operation only.
S4 sets the decimal value of the character generated by the modem as part of the
header, trailer, and terminator for result codes and information text, along with the
S3 parameter (see the description of the V parameter for usage). If the value of S4
is changed in a command line, the result code issued in response to that
command line will use the new value of S4.
The Response Formatting character is output after the Line Termination character
if verbose result codes are used.
S-Parameters - 93
USRobotics
Command Reference
Default: 8 (Backspace)
S6 - Wait Time for Dial Tone Before Blind Dialing, or After "W" Dial Modifier
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait before starting to dial
after going off-hook when blind dialing.
If enabled by country options in the INF file, S6 sets the length of time, in seconds,
that the modem will wait for dial tone when encountering a "W" dial modifier
before returning NO DIAL TONE result code.
The modem always pauses for a minimum of 2 seconds, even if the value of S6 is
less than 2 seconds.
Default: 2
S7 - Wait Time For Carrier After Dial, For Silence, or For Dial Tone
After "W" Dial Modifier
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem will wait for carrier before
hanging up. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or
after the billing delay in answer mode. In originate mode, the timer is reset upon
detection of answer tone if allowed by country restrictions.
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that modem will wait for silence when
encountering the @ dial modifier before continuing with the next dial string
parameter.
If enabled by country options in the INF file, S7 sets the length of time, in seconds,
that the modem will wait for dial tone when encountering a "W" dial modifier
S-Parameters - 94
USRobotics
Command Reference
Default: 50
S8 sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when the "," dial
modifier is encountered in the dial string. Range: 0-255 seconds Default: 2
S10 sets the length of time, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits before
hanging up after a loss of carrier. This allows for a temporary carrier loss without
causing the local modem to disconnect. When register S10 is set to 255, the
modem functions as if a carrier is always present.
The actual interval the modem waits before disconnecting is the value in register
S10 minus the value in register S9. Therefore, the S10 value must be greater than
the S9 value or else the modem disconnects before it recognizes the carrier.
* In V.34 and V.90 modes, it is not easy to detect a loss of carrier within the S10
time because of the echo of the transmitted signal. It takes over 30 seconds to
determine that carrier is actually lost and then the S10 value comes into effect. In
V.21/V.22 modes, the register operates as described.
S11 sets the duration of tones in DTMF dialing. This value has no effect on pulse
dialing.
S12 defines the maximum period, in fiftieths of a second, allowed between receipt
of the last character of the three escape character sequence from the DTE and
sending of the OK result code to the DTE. If any characters are detected during
this time, the OK will not be sent. Note that sending of the OK result code does not
affect entry into command mode.
Default: 50 (1 second)
S-Parameters - 95
USRobotics
Command Reference
S18 sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem conducts a test
(commanded by &T1) before returning to the command mode. If this parameter
value is zero, the test will not automatically terminate; the test must be terminated
from the command mode by issuing an &T0 or H command. When S18 is non-
zero, the modem returns the OK message upon test termination.
Default: 0
S28 determines the make/break ratio used during pulse dialing. The S28 value is
also set according to the make/brake ratios in the OEM parameters in the INF file
or according to AT&P command (if it was used). The default is country dependent.
S29 sets the length of time, in units of 10 ms, that the modem will go on-hook
when it encounters the flash (!) dial modifier in the dial string. The time can be
limited as it is a country dependent parameter.
S30 sets the length of time, in tens of seconds, that the modem will stay online
before disconnecting when no data is sent or received. In error-correction mode,
any data transmitted or received will reset the timer. In other modes, any data
transmitted will reset the timer. The timer is inoperative in synchronous mode.
Default: 0 (disabled)
S-Parameters - 96
USRobotics
Command Reference
S46 controls selection of compression. The following actions are executed for the
given values: Range: 136 or 138 Default: 138 S46=136 Execute error correction
protocol with no compression. S46=138 Execute error correction protocol with
compression. (Default.)
A bit set to a 1 in this parameter, in conjunction with the W command, will enable
the corresponding extended result code (see Table 3-14).
The +MR, +ER, and +DR settings also control S95 bits 2, 3, and 5, respectively.
The more recent settings of +MR, +ER, and +DR, or host writing of S95 bits 2, 3,
and 5, along with the W command setting, determine the corresponding actual
result code reporting (see +MR, +ER, DR, and W commands).
Default: 0
Bit 1 Reserved
Bit 4 Reserved.
Bit 5 Enable +DR result code (XXXX = compression type). (See +DR.)
The S210 register controls maximum symbol rate selection. Decimal number
corresponding to the selected information.
0 Selects that the symbol rate will be less or equal to 2400 symbols
per second.
1 Selects that the symbol rate will be less or equal to 2743 symbols
per second.
2 Selects that the symbol rate will be less or equal to 2800 symbols

Result Codes
The modem responds to commands from the DTE and to activity on the line by
signaling to the DTE in the form of result codes. The result codes that the modem
can send are described in Table 3-15.
Two forms of each result code are available: long-form, an English-like "verbose"
response, and short-form, a data-like numeric response (included in parentheses
following the long-form). The long-form code is preceded and terminated by the
sequence < CR> < LF>. The short-form is terminated by < CR>, only with no
preceding sequence.
If result messages are suppressed, nothing is returned to the DTE. The long-form
results codes can be modified by the OEM through the .INF file.
1 CONNECT For X command values specifying no speed reporting, the modem has connected to
the line and either the line speed is 300 bps and line speed is enabled, or the DTE
speed is 300 bps and DTE speed reporting is enabled.
2 RING An incoming ring signal is detected on the line. What qualifies as a ring signal is
determined by country-dependent parameters.
3 NO CARRIER Sent when attempting to establish a call if: Ringback is detected and later ceases but
no carrier is detected within the period of time determined by register S7, or 1. No
ringback is detected within the period of time determined by register S7. 2. Also sent
when the modem auto-disconnects due to loss of carrier. For X0, sent for the follow-
ing conditions: 1. If busy tone detection is enforced, busy or circuit busy has been
detected. 2. If dial tone detection is enforced or selected, dial tone has not been
detected.
4 ERROR Sent during an attempt to execute a command line if any of the following conditions
occur: 1. The command line contains a syntax error. 2. The modem cannot execute a
command contained in the command line, i.e., the command does not exist or is not
supported. 3. A command parameter within the command line is outside the permit-
ted range. For X0, X1, X2, and X3, this message is sent instead of DELAYED and
BLACKLISTED.

Command Reference
The fax I/O interface supports asynchronous serial and parallel interfaces. The
character format is 8 bits data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Start and stop elements
are removed from the transmit data and added to the receive data. Both transmit
and receive data are buffered. Flow control using XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS is
provided.
Unique control character strings are identified, filtered, or reinserted into the I/O
data stream. These control characters and their resultant action are described
below.
The modem also identifies the end of a frame by inserting <DLE><ETX> into the
data stream after the FCS bytes.
Fax Class 1 and Fax Class 1.0 commands are identified in Table 5-1. Fax Class
1.0 includes all Fax Class 1 commands.
X = Applicable; -
= Not applicable
X = Applicable; -
= Not applicable
Fax Origination
Origination of fax calls is made using the ATD command. Upon completion of the
dial function, a calling tone at 1100 Hz is transmitted, with a cadence of 0.5
seconds on and 3 seconds off. The modem automatically enters mode +FRH=3
and sends the CONNECT message to the DTE when FSK flags are detected from
the remote.
Fax Answering
Answering of fax calls is identical to answering of data calls with the exception that
the modem enters the fax handshaking mode instead of the data handshaking
mode after going off-hook. If +FAE=0, the modem, after sending answer tone,
automatically enters fax mode (+FTH=3), sends the CONNECT message to the
DTE, and starts sending FSK flags. If +FAE=1, the modem determines whether
the caller is a data modem or fax modem and sends the DATA or FAX result code,
respectively, to the DTE.
When characters are received from the DTE, the modem adds start and end flags,
performs zero-bit insertion, generates FCS, and deletes <DLE><chr> character
pairs before transmitting the characters to the remote fax machine. Each
<DLE><DLE> sequence is transmitted as a single <DLE>. <DLE><ETX> is
considered as the end of frame marker and is not transmitted. All data received
from the DTE after <DLE><ETX> is ignored by the modem until the modem
generates either the CONNECT, OK, or ERROR result code.
If no more data is in the transmit buffer and the final bit was a 1 (bit 4 of the
second byte received from the DTE), the modem generates the OK result code
and returns to the command mode. If the final bit was a 0, the modem generates
the CONNECT message and waits for further data from the DTE while
transmitting HDLC flags. If no more data is received before 5 seconds elapse, the
modem drops carrier, goes on-hook, and generates the ERROR result code.
Fax control reception is initiated using the AT+FRH=<mod> command. After this
command is issued, the modem looks for carrier in the modulation scheme
specified by the parameter n. If no carrier is detected before the period of time
specified by register S7 expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER
message and returns to command mode. If a carrier is detected that is not the one
specified by the parameter n, the modem generates the +FCERROR message
and returns to the command mode. If the specified carrier is detected, the modem
generates the CONNECT message and enters the HDLC receive mode.
In HDLC receive mode, the modem receives HDLC frames from the remote fax
machine, strips the flags, performs zero-bit deletion, performs error checking, and
handles <DLE><chr> character pairs before passing the data to the DTE. The
modem prefixes each <DLE> character with another <DLE> character before
sending it to the DTE. After the last byte in the frame, the modem sends
<DLE><ETX> to the DTE marking the end of the frame.
The modem then generates either the OK message if no errors were detected or
the ERROR message if errors were detected (FCS is incorrect), and returns to
command mode.
While in command mode, the modem continues to receive data in the selected
modulation scheme, and sends the data after sending the CONNECT message to
the DTE when the DTE reissues the +FRH command with the same parameter. If
the DTE issues the +FRH command with a different parameter, the modem clears
all buffers and proceeds as described previously.
If carrier is lost while in command mode and the DTE reissues the +FRH
command with the same parameter, and there is no data in the buffer, the modem
sends the ERROR result code to the DTE and returns to the command mode. If
there is data in the buffer, the modem sends the next frame of buffered data to the
DTE, followed by <DLE><ETX>, and either the ERROR result code if errors were
detected or the OK result code if no errors were detected. The modem then
The modem concludes an error is detected if carrier is lost for any period of time
during or before the reception of a frame. If carrier is lost for a time period longer
than the time specified by the register S10, the modem finishes delivering the data
in the receive buffer (if any) to the DTE, sends <DLE><ETX>, generates the
ERROR message, and returns to command mode. All subsequent data received
from the remote is discarded.
If the modem detects a frame abort sequence (seven consecutive ones with no
zero insertion) while it is waiting for a frame beginning flag (it was receiving HDLC
flags), it will wait for the HDLC flags again until either carrier is lost, or the DTE
aborts the process by sending an abort character or by dropping DTR with &D2 in
effect. If the frame abort sequence is detected while the modem is receiving a
frame it finishes delivering the data in the receive buffer (if any) to the DTE, sends
<DLE><ETX>, generates the ERROR message, and returns to command mode.
The modem keeps looking for HDLC flags followed by more data from the remote,
with the selected modulation scheme.
If the modem detects a receive buffer overflow condition, it concludes that there
was an FCS error in that frame. The modem will receive more frames only if a
starting flag is detected and there is room in the receive buffer. If a starting flag is
detected and there is no room in the buffer, the modem discards all data in that
frame.
If the modem receives any character from the DTE after the +FRH command
(except flow control characters if software flow control is in effect), or if the modem
detects a high-to-low transition of the DTR signal while &D1 is in effect, it sends
<DLE><ETX> to the DTE, generates OK result code, and returns to command
mode. The receive buffer is cleared and all data received from the remote is
discarded. If the modem detects a DTR drop while &D2 is in effect, it goes on-
hook, sends <DLE><ETX> to the DTE, generates OK result code, and returns to
command mode. If the modem detects a DTR drop while &D3 is in effect, the
modem performs a warm reset.
When data is received from the DTE, the modem deletes start and stop bits and
deletes all <DLE><chr> character pairs before transmitting the data to the remote.
Each <DLE><DLE> sequence is transmitted as a single <DLE>. <DLE><ETX> is
considered as the end of stream marker, and is not transmitted. All data received
from the DTE after the <DLE><ETX> is ignored by the modem until the modem
generates either the CONNECT, OK, or ERROR result code.
If no more data is in the transmit buffer, and the last transmitted character was not
an ASCII NULL, the modem generates the OK result code and returns to the
command mode. If the last character transmitted was an ASCII NULL, the modem
generates the CONNECT message to the DTE and waits for further data from the
DTE while transmitting NULLs to the remote. If more data is received before five
seconds elapse, the modem continues to transmit the data as described in the
previous paragraph. If five seconds elapse and no data is received from the DTE,
the modem drops carrier, goes on-hook, and generates the ERROR result code.
Fax data reception is initiated using the AT+FRM=<mod> command. After this
command is issued, the modem looks for carrier in the modulation scheme
specified by the parameter n. If no carrier is detected before the period of time
specified by register S7 expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER
message and returns to command mode. If a V.21 carrier is detected when a high
speed carrier is expected, the modem generates the +FCERROR message and
returns to the command mode. If the specified carrier is detected, the modem
generates the CONNECT message and enters the data receive mode.
While in data receive mode, the modem receives data from the remote, adds start
and stop bits, and handles <DLE><chr> character pairs before passing the data to
the DTE. The modem prefixes each <DLE> character with another <DLE>
character before sending it to the DTE.
If the modem detects a receive buffer overflow condition, it stops receiving from
the remote until there is room in the receive buffer. The modem informs the DTE
of the buffer overflow after it sends to the DTE the last character that was stored in
the buffer before the overflow occurred.
If the modem receives any character from the DTE after the +FRM command
(except flow control characters if software flow control is in effect), or if the modem
detects a high-to-low transition of the DTR signal while &D1 is in effect, it sends
<DLE><ETX> to the DTE, generates the OK result code, and returns to command
mode. The receive buffer is cleared and all data received from the remote is
discarded. If loss of DTR is detected while &D2 is in effect, the modem goes on-
hook, sends <DLE><ETX> followed by OK result code to the DTE, and returns to
command mode. If the modem detects a DTR drop while &D3 is in effect, the
modem performs a warm reset.

Voice Commands
Configuration Commands
+FCLASS=8 selects the Voice Mode. The Voice Mode commands and responses
described in this section are applicable when command +FCLASS=8. (See
+FCLASS command for the definition of the FCLASS command.)
Syntax
+VNH=<hook>
Defined Values
Command: +VNH?
Command: +VNH=?
Result Codes
OK <hook> = 0-2.
ERROR Otherwise.
Voice Commands
This command causes the modem to initialize all voice parameters to their default
values.
Syntax
+VIP
Result Code
OK
This command causes the modem to start the voice reception process.
Syntax
+VRX<n>
Defined Values
Result Codes
OK <n> = 0 or 1.
This command causes the modem to start the voice transmission and reception
process (Voice Duplex) without either acoustic echo cancellation or line echo
cancellation. The modem begins the Voice Duplex State by returning the
CONNECT result code to the DTE. The modem then sends <DLE> shielded voice
data to the DTE, and the DTE can send <DLE> shielded voice data to the modem.
The modem will accept data from the DTE and send data to the DTE in the format
previously selected by the +VSM command, and use the flow control method
selected by the +IFC command.
There are two methods to leave the Voice Duplex State: the DTE sending a
<DLE><^> shielded code or the inactivity timer elapsing in the modem. The Voice
Command State is entered upon Voice Duplex State termination.
This command will function when the input and output are from/to the same I/O
device, such as local handset, line, or mic/speaker.
Syntax
+VTR
Result Codes
ERROR The modem is not connected to the line and a non-line device.
This command causes the modem to send DTMF digit or hookflash tones with the
duration specified by +VTD, to send DTMF digit or hookflash tones with duration
specified by this command, or to send single or dual tone frequencies with
duration specified with this command.
Syntax
+VTS=<string>
Defined Values
A 2-element string enclosed in curly braces, "{X,dur}", which the modem interprets
as a DTMF digit (0 - 9, #, *, or A-D), or hookflash (!) with a duration (dur) different
than that given by the +VTD command,
0.01 second intervals with range 0-255 (ASCII units of 10 ms). A list may contain
null elements. For example [3000] means that the DCE generates a single tone at
3000 Hz for the default duration, [3000,3300] means that the DCE generates a
dual tone at 3000 and 3300 Hz for the default duration, and [,3300] means that the
DCE generates a single tone at 3300 Hz for the default duration.
The quantity in the curly braces consists of a 2-element list (X,dur), which can be
used to send DTMF tones or hookflash. The first element is the DTMF tone or
hookflash (!) character (X), and the second element is the duration (dur) in 0.01
seconds. The characters are of the same set given above. A list may contain null
elements. For example, {2} means DTMF tone "2" for the default duration, and {}
means silence for the default duration.
The modem will stop the tone generation at the point in the string where the
modem detects a parsing error, encounters an invalid frequency range,
encounters a <CR>, or encounters a semi-colon.
Command: +VTS=?
Example: (200-3000),(200-3000),(0-255)
