Data Command Set

Command Summary

  • 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 since it is not stored in the modem buffer.)
  • If a command has numeric options and you don't include a number, zero is assumed. For example, if you type ATB, the command ATB0 is assumed.
  • Every command except A/ and +++ must begin with the AT prefix and be entered by pressing <Enter>
  • The maximum command length is 58 characters. The modem doesn't count the AT prefix, carriage returns, or spaces.

+GCAP - Request Complete Capabilities List

This extended-format command causes the modem to transmit one or more lines of information text listing additional capabilities command +<names>s , which is 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.

Syntax

+GCAP

Example Responses

+GCAP: +FCLASS, +MS, +ES, +DS, for a data modem that supports all capabilities listed

Where:

+FCLASS
 T.class1, +F (Class 1 Facsimile modem Control)
+MS

+M commands (Modulation Control: +MS and +MR commands)
+ES
 +E commands (Error Control: +ES, +EB, +ER, +EFCS, +ETBM)
+DS
 +D commands (Data Compression: +DS and +DR)

+GCI - Country of Operation

This extended syntax command selects and indicates the country of operation for the modem. This parameter selects the settings for any operational parameters that need to be adjusted for national regulations or telephone networks.

Syntax

+GCI=<country_code>

Defined Values

<country_code> 8-bit country code from Annex A of T.35. The value is the hexadecimal equivalent of the T.35 code, with bit 8 treated as the most significant bit and bit 1 treated as the least significant bit.

The supported countries are:

&A - Select ARQ Result Codes

Selects additional status to be displayed with the connect message in modes X1 through X6 based on the parameter given.

Syntax

&A[<value>]

0
 No /ARQ or /Protocol
1
 /ARQ suffix added to connect message for X1 through X6 modes


Default
1

Result Codes

OK
 <value> = 0 or 1
ERROR
Otherwise.

&F - Restore Factory Configuration (Profile)

The modem loads the factory default configuration (profile). The factory defaults are identified for each command and in the S-Parameter descriptions. A configuration (profile) consists of a subset of S-Parameters.

Syntax

&F[<value>]

Defined Values

<value> Decimal number corresponding to the selected configuration.

0
 Factory Profile 0
1
 Factory Profile 1
2
 Factory Profile 2

Result Codes

OK
 <value> = 0, 1 or 2
ERROR
 Otherwise, or If the modem is connected.

&T - Local Analog Loopback Test

The modem will perform the local analog loopback test if &T1 is selected. The test can be run only when in an asynchronous operation in non-error-correction mode (normal), e.g., AT&Q6. To terminate the test in progress, the escape sequence must be entered first (see Section 3.1.1).

Syntax

&T[<value>]

Defined Values

<value> Decimal number corresponding to the selected option.

0
 Terminates test in progress. Clears S16.
1
 Initiates local analog loopback, V.54 Loop 3. Sets S16 bit 0. If a connection exists when this command is issued, the modem hangs up. The CONNECT XXXX message is displayed upon the start of the test.

&W - Store Current Configuration

Saves the current (active) configuration (profile), including S-Parameters, in one of the two user profiles in NVRAM as denoted by the parameter value. This command will yield an ERROR message if the NVRAM is not installed or is not operational as detected by the NVRAM test.

The current configuration is comprised of a list of storable parameters illustrated in the &V command. These settings are restored to the active configuration upon receiving a Zn command or at power up (see &Yn command).

Syntax

&W<value>

Defined Values

<value> Decimal number corresponding to the selected profile.

0
 Store the current configuration as profile 0.
1
 Store the current configuration as profile 1.

Result Codes

OK
 <value> = 0 or 1
ERROR
 Otherwise

&Z - Write Dial String to NVM

Dial String selected by parameter written to NVM. Parameter is 0 through 3. Last dialed number can be stored to selected dial string by &Zn=L.

Syntax

&Z<value>

Query options:

&Z query commands will cause the selected dial string to be transmitted to the DTE as <cr><lf> Dial String <cr><lf> . (see below)

&Zn? will transmit the current contents of the dial string to the DTE.
&ZL? will transmit the last dialed number to the DTE.

Defined n Values

<value> Decimal number corresponding to the selected Dial String to be stored.

0
 Store Dial String 0.
1

Store Dial String 1.
2
 Store Dial String 2.
3

Store Dial String 3.

Example:

AT&Z0=0018473303221<Enter> would store **0018473303221 into &Z Dial String 0 template.
** The number used is not in service, and if in service at any time, is only meant here as an example.

Result Codes

OK
 <value> = 0, 1, 2 or 3
OK
 <value> = 0, 1 or 2
ERROR
 Otherwise, or If the modem is connected.
