19 Chapter 3 - Software Configuration 3.4.1 Changing Default Parameters By default, the modem will answer after the first ring and try to communicate with a modem on the other end of the line. If you have one telephone line for voice, fax, and modem communications, the modem may attempt to answer all incoming calls, voice as well as data.
20 MultiModemBA User Guide 3.5.2 T erminal Em ulation If you are accessing the remote computer as if from an on-site terminal, the keyboard codes used by your computer may not match the ones used by the remote computer.
Chapter 4 - Command Mode.
22 MultiModemBA User Guide 4.1 Introduction AT commands are the means by which you, and your communications software, are able to communicate with and configure your modem. They enable you to establish, read, and modify parameters in addition to dialing.
23 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Dial ( D or A ) command, or incoming phone call Carrier detected HANG UP ON-LINE MODE W AIT FOR CARRIER COMMAND MODE AT 0 Command +++A T No carrier detected Carrier lost Figure 41.

26 MultiModemBA User Guide 4.3 Result Codes The Command mode provides you with several responses, or “ Result Codes ” , that can aid you in Command mode operation.
27 Chapter 4 - Command Mode 4.4 Dialing Commands 4.4.1 Dialing Action Commands Dial Command D The letter D in a command causes the modem to dial the telephone number immediately following it. For example, if you enter ATD5551212 and hit RETURN, the modem dials the number 555-1212.
28 MultiModemBA User Guide DTR Dialing $D An alternate method of causing the modem to automatically dial is DTR Dialing. Data Terminal Ready (DTR) is a signal that comes into the modem from the terminal or computer to which it is connected, on pin 20 of the RS-232C interface.
29 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Set Pulse Dial Ratios &P This command sets the time ratios between the open and closed portions of the dialing pulse frequencies. To set the dialing pulse ratio of 60 mSec to 40 mSec, enter AT&P0. To set a ratio of 67 mSec to 33 mSec, enter AT&P1 .
30 MultiModemBA User Guide Flash On Hook ! Some switchboard systems react to a momentary On Hook. An exclamation mark inserted in the command causes the modem to “ flash ” on hook for a half of a second, as if you had held the switch hook button on a telephone down for a half second.
31 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Number Linking NN You may command the modem to dial another number automatically if the first number dialed is busy. This would be useful in a situation where a computer can be accessed through more than one phone number. This is called “ linking ” .
32 MultiModemBA User Guide Loading Factory Defaults &F The &F command provides a choice between customized configuration settings in RAM and the factory default configuration settings in ROM. The &F8 and &F9 commands define the function of the &F command.
33 Chapter 4 - Command Mode &X0 is the default setting, which allows DIP-Switch #11 to control Internal/External Clocking (default Internal). Internal clocking is when the modem provides transmit clock to the DTE on pin 15 of the RS-232C/V.24 interface.
34 MultiModemBA User Guide Result Codes (Basic and Extended) and Call Progress Selection X The X Command is used to select one of two possible dialing methods ( “ dumb ” or “ smart ” ), and to select various response combinations related to these methods.
35 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Bell/V.21 Tone B The B command selects the frequency that the modem uses for its answer tone. (The answer tone is the tone transmitted by a modem receiving a call to the modem that called it, which initiates the handshaking between the two modems.
36 MultiModemBA User Guide Enable/Disable Lowspeed Fast Connect $FC Entering AT$FC0&W0<CR> sets up the data pump so that it will not transmit a 5 second 2100 Hz signal. Entering AT$FC0&W0<CR> allows the modem to transmit a 5 second 2100 Hz signal and is the factory default.
37 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Data Terminal Ready Control &D Data Terminal Ready (DTR) on pin 20 of the RS-232C interface is required in order for the modem to operate. A high DTR signal tells the modem that the device to which it is connected is active, or "ready" to communicate through the modem.
38 MultiModemBA User Guide DSR/CD Interaction Control &SF In typical applications, Data Set Ready (DSR) follows Carrier Detect (CD). &SF0 enables DSR to follow CD, and is the factory default. &SF1 enables DSR to operate independent of CD. If this is your application, refer to the &S command for control of the Data Set Ready signal.
39 Chapter 4 - Command Mode #L0 Command The #L0 Command allows a pair of modems to negotiate which V.42 mode (MNP or LAP-M) will be used in their transmissions. Originate Mode a. If both modems have LAP-M capability, the modems use LAP-M mode. b. If one or both modems do not have LAP-M capability and both have MNP, the modems use the MNP mode.
40 MultiModemBA User Guide Retransmit Count $R If errors are received during a Reliable connection, the modem re-sends the block of data which contained an error. With the $R0 command, if another error occurs, the block will be re-sent again. The modem counts the number of times that a data block is re-sent.
41 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Hardware Flow Control &E4 With Hardware Flow Control, the modem uses its RS-232C interface to control the flow of data from the computer or terminal to which it is attached. The CTS (Clear to Send) signal on Pin 5 of the RS- 232C interface is brought low to stop the flow of data, and is brought high to restart it.
42 MultiModemBA User Guide Send Xon/Xoff Characters #X The #X phone interface command allows the modem to send either a single or multiple Xoff characters at the modem's buffer full level.
43 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Parity Selection #P The #P command enables the setting of parity. AT#P0 selects no parity. AT#P1 selects odd parity. AT#P2 selects even parity and is the default value. Note when setting up your data comm software, it is critical that both your remote and local system's parity selection be set identically.
44 MultiModemBA User Guide 4.4.11 Speed Conversion Commands Speed conversion is a necessary part of data compression since data must be presented to the modem faster than it can handle data, if data compression is to be effective.
45 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Serial Port Baud Rate $SB The $SB command presets the speed of the modem ’ s serial (RS-232C) port, in both Originate and Answer modes.
46 MultiModemBA User Guide 4.4.12 Immediate Action Commands Help Screens $H The Help command is designed to give you short explanations on how to use each modem command. The Help command can be quite useful if your manual is not handy and you are in the middle of a communications session.
47 Chapter 4 - Command Mode Off Hook H You can make the modem hang up (go On Hook). Entering ATH1 <RETURN> brings the line Off Hook, just as if you picked up the telephone set. You can hang up by entering ATH0 or ATH (the default is 0 when no number is entered).
48 MultiModemBA User Guide Exiting Command Mode, Going Back On-Line O You can bring the modem out of Command mode and back into On-Line mode by entering ATO (where O is the letter O, not the number 0). In this case, the O command reverses what was done by entering the Escape Code.
Chapter 5 - S-Registers.
50 MultiModemBA User Guide 5.1 Introduction Certain Command Mode configurations are stored in memory registers called, S-Registers. The S command is used to assign a value to, and to read the current value of an S-Register.
51 Chapter 5 - S-Registers S4 Line Feed Character Unit: ASCII Character Range: 0-127 Default: 10 (^J) Description: S4 defines the character recognized as Line Feed. S3 may be set for any ASCII character. S5 Backspace Character Unit: ASCII Character Range: 0-127 Default: 8 (^H) Description: S5 defines the character recognized as BACKSPACE.
52 MultiModemBA User Guide S9 Carrier Detect Response Time Unit: 100 mSec. Range: 1-255 Default: 6 Description: S9 sets the time delay between when the modem first detects a valid incoming carrier signal and when the modem turns on its Carrier Detect circuit.
53 Chapter 5 - S-Registers S15 Callback Time Delay Unit: Seconds Range: 10-255 Default: 20 Description: S15 defines the time delay between Callback attempts after initial passwords have been exchanged between modems.
54 MultiModemBA User Guide S26 Failed Password Attempts Unit: 1 failed attempt Range: 0-255 Default: 0 Description: S26 counts the number of times there has been a failed password attempt.
55 Chapter 5 - S-Registers S36 Time Between DTR Inactive and Modem Off-Hook Unit: 1 Second Range: 0-255 seconds Default: 0 Description: The DTR Busy-out feature uses S-Register S36 to set the time between DTR inactive (low) and the modem going off-hook .
56 MultiModemBA User Guide 5.2.1 Examples of Assigning V alues 1. Let ’ s say you wish to have longer pauses caused by the comma in a dial command; five seconds instead of two. Entering ATS8=5 assigns 5 as the value for S-Register S8 (meaning the modem pauses five seconds for a comma in a dial command).
Chapter 6 - Callback Security and Remote Configuration.
58 MultiModemBA User Guide 6.1 Introduction This chapter describes how the MultiModem ’ s Callback and Remote Configuration features operate. These features use a multilevel security system, which involves the use of LOGIN Passwords, Setup Passwords and Remote Escape Characters.
