Page 213: At Commands
Appendix C AT Commands 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 214 User's Manual Answer command This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call. Communication standard setting This command determines the communication standard CCITT or Bell. Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bps. Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bps (default).
Page 215 Appendix C Return to command mode. Causes the modem to return to command mode after dialing a number, without disconnecting the call. Dial a telephone number previously stored using the &Zn=X command (See &Zn=X command for more information). The range is 0-3. Echo command This command controls whether or not the characters entered from your computer keyboard are displayed on your monitor (echoed) while...
Page 216 User's Manual Monitor speaker volume This command sets speaker volume to low, medium, or high. Low volume. Low volume. (Same as L0) Medium volume (default). High volume. Result Codes: n=0,1,2,3 ERROR Otherwise Monitor speaker mode This command turns the speaker on or off. The speaker is off.
Page 217 Appendix C Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise Return on-line to data mode Instructs the modem to exit on-line command mode and return to data mode (see AT escape sequence, +++). This command issues a retrain before returning to on-line data mode.
Page 218 User's Manual 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 219 Appendix C Enable Enable OK, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NODIALTONE, BUSY, CONNECT <RATE>, RRING, NO BONGTONE, DELAYED, BLACKLISTED, REORDER, WARBLE, CALL WAITING DETECTED 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...
Page 220 User's Manual &C0 The state of the carrier from the remote modem is ignored. DCD circuit is always on. &C1 DCD turns on when the remote modem’s carrier signal is detected, and off when the carrier signal is not detected (default).
Page 221 Appendix C &Gn V.22bis guard tone control This command determines which guard tone, if any, to transmit while transmitting in the high band (answer mode). This command is only used in V.22 and V.22bis mode. This option is not used in North America and is for international use only.
Page 222 User's Manual &T0 Abort. Stops any test in progress. &T1 Local analog loop. This test verifies modem operation, as well as the connection between the modem and computer. Any data entered at the local DTE is modulated, then demodulated, and returned to the local DTE. To work properly, the modem must be off-line.
Page 223 Appendix C Error control mode selection This command determines the type of error control used by the modem when sending or receiving data. Buffer mode. No error control. Direct mode. MNP or disconnect mode. The modem attempts to connect using MNP2-4 error control procedures. If this fails, the modem disconnects.
Page 224 User's Manual Protocol result code Disable protocol result code appended to DCE speed. Enable protocol result code appended to DCE speed (default). Result Codes: n=0,1 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.
Page 225: Appendix D S-Registers
Appendix D S-registers 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 connec- tion fails.
Page 226 User's Manual 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.
Page 227 Appendix D Response formatting character (user defined) This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed charac- ter. The modem uses a line feed character in command mode when it responds to the computer. Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal Default: 10 (line feed) Units: ASCII...
Page 228 User's Manual Connection completion time-out This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up because carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes off-hook (an- swer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of an answer tone if allowed by county restriction.

Page 233 Appendix E V.90 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.
