Display Controller and Video mode Display controller The display controller interprets software commands into hardware commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off. Due to the display panel's increased resolution, lines may appear broken in when displaying images in full-screen text mode. The display controller also controls the video mode and uses industry standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of colors that can be displayed at any one time.
Page 226 AT Commands This information is applicable to the models equipped with a built-in modem. In most cases, you will not need to type AT commands manually. However, there might be some occasions when you will need to do so. This chapter describes AT commands for data mode. Fax and voice commands are taken care of by application software.
Page 227 Repeat last command This command repeats the last command string entered. Do not precede this command with an AT prefix or conclude it by pressing ENTER. Answer command This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call.
Page 228 Echo command This command controls whether or not the characters entered from your computer keyboard are displayed on your monitor (echoed) while the modem is in command mode. Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise Hook control This command instructs the modem to go on-hook to disconnect a call, or off-hook to make the phone line busy.
Page 229 Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise Modulation handshake This command controls whether or not the local modem performs a negotiated handshake at connection time with the remote modem when the communication speed of the two modems is different. Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise Return on-line to data mode Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise...
Page 230 Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise Select tone dialing This command instructs the modem to send DTMF tones while dialing. Dialed digits are tone dialed until a P command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting. DCE response format This command controls whether result codes (including call progress and negotiation progress messages) are displayed as words or their numeric equivalents.
Page 231 Dial tone detect Disabled: The modem dials a call regardless of whether it detects a dial tone. Enabled: The modem dials only upon detection of a dial tone, and disconnects the call if the dial tone is not detected within 10 seconds.
Page 232 &D2 &D3 Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise &F Load factory settings This command loads the configuration stored and programmed at the factory. This operation replaces all of the command options and the S- register settings in the active configuration with factory values. &F &Gn V.22bis guard tone control This command determines which guard tone, if any, to transmit while...
Page 233 &Tn Self-test commands These tests can help to isolate problems if you experience periodic data loss or random errors. &T0 &T1 Result Codes: CONNECT n=1 ERROR &V Display Current Configuration This command displays the current configuration of the modem. If nonvolatile memory is supported the stored profiles are displayed as well.
Page 234 Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise Local flow control selection Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise Protocol result code Result Codes: ERROR Otherwise View numbers in blacklist If blacklisting is in effect, this command displays the numbers for which the last call attempted in the past two hours failed. The ERROR result code appears in regions that do not require blacklisting.
Page 235: Appendix D S-Registers
S-registers This information is applicable to the models equipped with a built-in modem. S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails.
Page 236 Auto answer ring number This register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automatically answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command. Range:0-255 Default:0 Units:rings...
Page 237 Command line editing character (user defined) This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII.
Page 238 Comma pause time This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encounters a comma (,) in the dial command string. In some countries/regions, S8 will set both wait before dialing and comma pause time. Range:0-255 Default:2 Units:seconds...

Page 241: V.90 Mode
This information is applicable to the models equipped with a built-in modem. The TOSHIBA internal modem uses V.90 technology. The modem is capable of downstream speeds of 56kbps (kilobits per second) when connected to an Internet service provider that supports V.90. As with any modem, the actual throughput (speed of data transfer) depends on analog telephone line conditions, which can vary considerably.
