device, the only command it recognises is an escape code of three
typed plus signs, which forces the modem back to Command mode. Do
the following when issuing the command: 1 Wait 1 second after sending the last item of data. 2 Type +++ 3 Wait 1 second before typing any data. When you type +++, the modem will either hang up or stay on line, depending on how you set S14. |
|
|
>
|
Repeat command. If you include the repeat command in the Dial string, the modem will dial the number and wait 60 seconds for a carrier. If the line is busy, the modem will pause for 2 seconds and then redial. The modem makes a maximum of 10 attempts. |

In addition to ARQ and modulation indicators, display
an error control indicator (LAPM, HST, MNP, SYNC, V.120, or NONE)
and a data compression type (V42 bis or MNP5). |
||
|
&Bn
|
Set the serial port rate to variable or fixed. | ||
|
&B0
|
Variable: The serial port rate adapts to match the speed of the connection. | ||
|
&B1
|
Fixed: The modem always communicates with your computer at the rate at which you have set, regardless of the connection rate. | ||
|
&B2
|
When answering calls, use the fixed rate for ARQ calls and variable rates for non-ARQ calls. | ||
|
The serial port rate should be equal to or higher
than the &Nn rate.
|
|||
|
&Cn
|
Controls how the modem sends a Carrier Detect (CD) signal to your computer. |
||
|
&C0
|
CD always ON, even if the modem is not online. | ||
|
&C1
|
Normal operations. The modem sends a CD signal when it connects with another modem and drops the CD when it disconnects. | ||
|
&Dn
|
Control how the modem responds to Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals. |
||
|
&D0
|
DTR is always ON (ignored). | ||
|
&D1
|
If issued before connecting with another device, the Courier 56K Corporate modem can enter online Command mode during a call by dropping DTR. &D1 functions similarly to the escape code (+++). Return online with the On command, or hang up with the Hn command. |
||
|
&D2
|
Normal DTR operations. The modem will not accept commands unless your computer sends a DTR signal. Dropping DTR ends a call. | ||
|
&D3
|
Modem resets with DTR toggle. | ||
|
&Fn
|
Load one of the three configuration templates that are stored permanently in read-only memory. Refer to the Flow Control Template chapter of the Appendixes section for the settings for each template. To load a template into current memory, enter AT&Fn. To write a template to NVRAM, enter AT&Fn&W. If DIP switch 1 is OFF, &F0 is always loaded into memory at power-on or reset. |
||
|
&F0
|
Load No Flow Control template settings. | ||
|
&F1
|
Load Hardware Flow Control template settings. | ||
|
&F2
|
Load Software Flow Control template settings. | ||
|
&Gn
|
Set guard tones for international calls. | ||
|
&G0
|
No guard tone. Use this in the United States and Canada. |
||
|
&G1
|
This sets a 550 Hz guard tone, and is used in some European countries. | ||
|
&G2
|
This sets an 1800 Hz guard tone, and is used in the U.K. and some Commonwealth countries. &G2 requires the B0 setting. | ||
|
&Hn
|
Transmit data flow control. Prevents the modem’s buffer for data transmitted to the modem by its attached computer from overflowing. | ||
|
&H0
|
Disable transmit data flow control. |
||
|
&H1
|
Use hardware flow control. Requires that your computer and software support Clear to Send (CTS) at the EIA-232 interface. | ||
|
&H2
|
Use software flow control. Requires that your software support XON/XOFF signaling | ||
|
&H3
|
Use both hardware and software flow control. If you are unsure about what your equipment supports, select this option. | ||
|
&In
|
Received data software flow (XON/OFF) control. | ||
|
&I0
|
Disables XON/XOFF flow control of received data. | ||
|
&I1
|
The modem acts on your typed XON/XOFF commands, Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Q, and passes them to the remote device. | ||
|
&I2
|
The modem acts on your XON/XOFF commands, but removes them from the data stream instead of passing them to the remote device. This is the recommended setting for ARQ mode. | ||
|
&I3
|
Hewlett Packard-Host mode. Applies only to modems attached to an HP mainframe that uses the ENQ/ACK protocol. Use in ARQ mode only. | ||
|
&I4
|
Hewlett Packard-Terminal mode. Applies only to modems attached to terminals in an HP system that uses the ENQ/ACK protocol. Use in ARQ mode only. |
||
|
&I5 |
This setting is designed to enable flow control on the phone link when the connection is not under error control. For this to work, the remote device must have &I5 capability. | ||
|
&Kn
|
Enable or disable data compression. | ||
|
&K0
|
Disable data compression. | ||
|
&K1
|
Use auto-enable/disable. The modem enables compression if the serial port rate is fixed (&B1) and disables compression if the serial port rate follows the connection rate (&B0) because compression offers no throughput advantage when the serial port and connection rates are equal; in fact, compression may degrade throughput. | ||
|
&K2
|
Always enable data compression. | ||
|
&K3
|
Selective data compression. The modem negotiates only for V.42 bis compression, and disables MNP Level 5 (MNP5) compression. Use this setting to transfer compressed files. | ||
|
&Ln
|
Line type. | ||
|
&L0
|
Normal. | ||
|
&L1
|
Dedicated or leased line. This refers to a special kind of phone line (at extra cost); not just a phone used only for a modem. | ||
|
&Mn
|
Enable ARQ (error control) or synchronous protocols. Both your modem and the remote device must use the same protocol. | ||
|
&M0
|
Normal mode, no error control. Due to the nature of phone line channels, this is never recommended for calls above 2400 bps. | ||
|
&M1
|
Use for online synchronous mode without V.25 bis. This setting is exclusive of the modems' error control. | ||
|
&M4
|
Normal/ARQ mode. If an ARQ connection isn't made, the modem operates in Normal mode as though it were set to &M0. | ||
|
&M5
|
ARQ asynchronous mode. The modem hangs up if an ARQ connection cannot be made. | ||
|
&M6
|
V.25 bis synchronous mode using a character-oriented link protocol similar to BISYNC. | ||
|
&M7
|
V.25 bis synchronous mode using the HDLC link protocol. | ||
|
&Nn
|
Sets fixed link speed. | ||
|
&Nn&UN
|
Sets highest and lowest link speeds | ||
|
N=0
|
Variable rate. The modem negotiates with the remote device for the highest possible connection rate, depending on the capabilities of the remote device. | ||
|
n=1-38
|
Fixed rate. The modem connects only if the remote device is operating at the same rate. You can use this feature to filter out calls at other than a specific rate for security or other reasons. The connection rate should be lower than or equal to the serial port rate. |

&Rn
|
Received data (RTS) hardware flow control. | ||
|
&R0
|
Delay Clear to Send (CTS) response after Request to Send (RTS). | ||
|
&R1
|
Ignore RTS. This setting is required if your computer or terminal or software does not support RTS. | ||
|
&R2
|
Enable hardware flow control of received data. The modem sends data to the computer only upon receipt of the RTS signal. | ||
|
&Sn
|
Send the computer a Data Set Ready (DSR) signal via the EIA-232 interface. | ||
|
&S0
|
DSR is always ON (override). | ||
|
&S1
|
In Originate mode: Send DSR after dialing, on detection of the remote device’s answer tone. In Answer mode: Send DSR after sending an answer tone. | ||
|
&S2
|
When Carrier is lost, send a pulsed DSR signal with Clear to Send (CTS) following Carrier Detect (CD). This option is for specialised equipment such as automatic callback units. | ||
|
&S3
|
Same as &S2, but without the CTS signal. | ||
|
&S4
|
Send the computer DSR at the same time as CD. | ||
|
&S5
|
Send DSR normally, and follow CTS with CD. | ||
|
&Tn
|
Test the modem. | ||
|
&T0
|
End testing. | ||
|
&T1
|
Local digital loopback | ||
|
&T2
|

|
&Wn
|
Write the current settings to NVRAM. | ||
|
&Xn
|
External modems only: Designate the source of synchronous transmit clock timing signals. | ||
|
&X0
|
The Courier 56K Corporate modem sends transmit clock timing signals to the DTE over the serial interface. DTE rate follows the connection rate. | ||
|
&X1
|
The DTE sends transmit clock timing signals to the modem over the serial interface. Typical use: multiplexed leased lines. | ||
|
&X2
|
The Courier 56K Corporate modem sends receiver clock timing signals, which are looped to the transmit clock and sent to the DTE over the serial interface. Typical Use: Systems that require synchronisation of data flowing in both directions. | ||
|
&Yn
|
Break handling. This command lets you send a break to stop data transfer without disconnecting. | ||
|
&Y0
|
Destructive, don't send break. | ||
|
&Y1
|
Destructive, expedited. | ||
|
&Y2
|
Nondestructive, expedited. | ||
|
&Y3
|
Nondestructive, unexpedited; the modem sends a break-in-sequence with data received from your computer or terminal. | ||
|
If the call is under data compression, destructive
breaks cause both modems to reset their data compression tables.
When transmission resumes, the modems build new tables, and the
result is temporary lower-than- normal throughput.
|
|||
|
&Zn=s
|
Store up to 10 numbers in NVRAM, where n is the position 0-9 in NVRAM, and s is the phone number string. The number string may be up to 36 characters long, including any Dial command options. Example: AT&Z2=555-6789 In the following example, &M0 (no error control) is inserted before the Dial command: AT&M0 DS2 |
||
|
This command functions differently when Dial
Security is enabled.
Also, do not include modem settings in the &Zn string. If the call requires a special setting, insert it in the command string before the DSn command. |
|||
|
&Zn=L
|
Stores the last-dialed number in position n. | ||
|
&Zn?
|
Display the phone number stored in NVRAM at position n (where n = 0-9). | ||
|
&ZC=s
|
Store command string s in NVRAM. The command string can be up to 30 characters long; spaced do not count. This command is used so you can call another modem without loading your communications software. | ||
|
&ZC?
|
Display the stored command string. | ||
