PWR Power The modem is turned on.
CD Carrier Detect ON if modem receives a valid data signal (carrier) from a remote modem, indicating that a data transmission is possible. Always ON if CD override is ON (&C0).
RD Received Data Flashes when modem sends result codes or passes received data bits from remote.
SD Send Data Flashes when computer sends a data bit to modem.

 

Typing Commands

  • In terminal mode, type commands in either upper or lower case, not a combination. Use the Backspace key to delete errors. (You cannot delete the original AT command because it is stored in the modem buffer.)
  • If a command has numeric options and you do not include a number, zero is assumed. For example, if you type ATB, the command ATB0 is assumed.
  • Every command except A/, +++, and A> must begin with the AT prefix and be entered by pressing ENTER.
  • The maximum command length is 58 characters. This does not include the AT prefix, carriage returns, or spaces.

All defaults are based on the &F1*Hardware Flow Control template loaded in NVRAM when the modem is shipped. Defaults are listed in italics.

Basic Data Commands

<control key>S

Stop or restart help screens.

<control key>C or <control key>K

Stop help screens.

$ Use in conjunction with D, S, or & commands (or just AT) to display a basic command list; online help.

A Manual Answer goes off hook in answer mode. Pressing any key aborts the operations.

A/ Re-executes the last issued command. Used mainly to redial. This does not require the AT prefix or a Carriage Return.

A> Re-executes the last issued command continuously, until the user intervenes or the command is executed forever. Does not require the AT prefix or a Carriage Return.

Any key Aborts off-hook dial/answer operation and hangs up.

AT Required command prefix, except with A/, +++, and A>. Use alone to test for OK result code.

BO ITU-T answer sequence
B1 U.S. answer tone

Dn (Comma) Pause, see the definition of the S8 register to which it is linked

; (Semicolon) Return to Command mode after dialling
! (Exclamation point) Flashes the switch hook
/ (Back Slash) Delays for 125 ms. before proceeding with dial string

S-Registers

To change a setting, use the ATSr=n command, where r is the register and n is a decimal value from 0 * 255 (unless otherwise indicated).

Register

Function
S0
0
 Sets the number of rings on which to answer in Auto Answer Mode. When set to 0, Auto Answer is disabled.
S1
0
 Counts and stores the number of rings from an incoming call. S0 must be greater than 0.
S2
43
 Stores the ASCII decimal code for the escape code character.
Default character is +.
A value of 128 - 255 disables the escape code.
S3
13
 Stores the ASCII code for the Carriage Return character.
Valid range is 0 - 127.
S4
10
 Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Line Feed character.
Valid range is 0 - 127.
S5
8
 Stores the ASCII decimal code for the Backspace character .
A value of 128*255 disables the Backspace key's delete function.
S6
2
 Sets the number of seconds the modem waits before dialling.
If Xn is set to X2 or X4, this is the time-out length if there is not a dial tone.
S7
60
 Sets the number of seconds the modem waits for a carrier.
S8
2
 Sets the duration, in seconds, for the pause (,) option in the Dial command.
S9
6
 Sets the required duration, in tenths of a second, of the remote modem's carrier signal before recognition by the modem.
S10
14
 Sets the duration, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits to hang up after loss of carrier. This guard time allows the modem to distinguish between a line disturbance from a true disconnect (hang up) by the remote modem.
Note: If you set S10 = 255, the modem will not hang up when carrier is lost.
Dropping DTR hangs up the modem.
S11
72
 Sets the duration and spacing, in milliseconds, for tone dialling.
S12
50
 Sets the duration, in fiftieths of a second, of the guard time for the escape code sequence (+++).
S13
0
 Bit-mapped register. Select the bit(s) you want on and set S13 to the total of the values in the Value column.
For example: ATS13 = 17 enables bit 0 (value is 1) and bit 4 (value is 16).

*The 1.5K-byte non-ARQ buffer allows data transfer with Xmodem- and Ymodem- type file transfer protocols without using flow control. The 128-byte option lets remote users with slower modems keep data you are sending from scrolling off their screens. When remote users send your computer an Xoff (Ctrl-S) and you stop transmitting, the data in transit from your modem's buffer does not exceed the size of their screen. This is also very helpful in situations when a remote modem/printer application is losing characters.

This option only applies to connections terminated by dropping DTR. If the modem receives the ATH command, it ignores S38 and immediately hangs up.

The Serial Interface

The serial interface is a standard developed by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). It defines the signals and voltages used when data is exchanged between a computer and a modem or serial printer.

The entire standard covers many more functions than are used in most data communications applications. Data is transmitted between the devices over a shielded serial cable with a 25-pin male (DB-25) connector to the modem and a 25-pin, 9-pin, 8-pin, or custom-built connector to the computer.

The use of a shielded cable when connecting a modem to a computer is recommended to ensure minimal interference with radio and television.

Pin assignments are factory-set in the U.S. Robotics modem to match the standard DB-25 assignments in the following table. DB-9 connectors for IBM/AT-compatible computers should be wired at the computer end of the cable as shown in the DB-9 column.
