ATZ   

  Modem Reset 

Parameters  : 0,1 
Default 

: None 

 
Entering ATZ0 resets the modem and copies the user stored NVRAM configuration to the 
active  RAM.  It  restores  all  user  controlled  settings  to  previously  stored  values.  If  the 
NVRAM  contains  an  invalid  configuration,    typing  ATZ  will  merely  copy  the  bad  data 
from  NVRAM  to  active  RAM.  You  must  use  AT&F  (load  factory  configuration  from 
ROM  to  RAM)  followed  by  AT&W  (write  RAM  configuration  to  NVRAM)  to  recover 
from this. 
 
If the modem is in the On-line Command State this command will terminate the call and 
the modem will return to the Idle State after the command is processed. See also the AT&F 
command which copies the factory defaults from ROM into the active RAM. 
 
If ATZ1 is entered, the unit will be placed in the very low power standby mode (depending 
upon DTR level and setting of jumper J5). The modem may be woken from this state by 
either  raising  the  DTR,  activity  on  DTE  Txd,  Ring  detection  or  power  cycle.  When  the 
modem  is  in  standby  mode  the  unit  is  effectively  switched  off.  If  a  unit  is  on  line  the 
connection will be lost. 
 

 

AT&C 

  CARRIER Detect Control 

Parameters  : 0 or 1 
Default 

: 0 (CD Pin 8 always High) 

 
This command controls the status of both the CD lead (Pin 8) in the V.24/RS-232 interface 
and the front panel CD LED. 
 
AT&C0 - V.24 Pin 8 CD and LED always forced on. 
AT&C1 - V.24 Pin 8 CD and LED follows phone line data carrier. 
 

 

AT&D 

  DTR Control 

Parameters  : 0 to 3 
Default 

: 0 (DTR Always On) 

 
This command controls events on the fall of DTR (Data Terminal Ready). See the AT&M 
command  for  interactions  on  the  rise  of  DTR.  When  this  command  is  enabled,  the  DTR 
lead must be high for the modem to operate correctly. 
 
AT&D0 - DTR input ignored. 
AT&D1 - Modem set to Command State when DTR drops (as for escape sequence). 
AT&D2 - Modem set to on-hook and returns to Command State when DTR drops  
                (ATH). 
AT&D3 - Modem initializes (executes ATZ) when DTR falls.
