OK
The ENC-900 is controlled through an AT Command line interface using a
command set which is very similar to a traditional Hayes telephone modem
command set.
All line entries must be preceded by the characters ‘AT’. The characters
‘AT’ are known as the attention characters and must be typed at the
beginning of each command line. For example, to change the operating
mode, type:
ATS101=2 <ENTER>
The modem should respond with ’OK.’ The above command will set the
operating mode to Master Point-to-Point.
Register settings are not immediately stored to non-volatile memory,
therefore if the modem is powered down at this point, the Operating Mode
would revert to its previous value. To store any recently updated command
registers, the following “write” command must be entered.
AT&W <ENTER>
3.3 Switching Between Command and Data Modes
Your modem must be in command mode for it to execute a command. If you
send characters when the modem is in data mode, the modem transmits the
characters over the air.
Depending on its settings, the modem will either power up in command
mode or data mode. Normally, when first received from the factory, the unit
will power up into data mode. During the first five seconds after power-up,
the user is given the opportunity to avoid entering into data mode but instead
enter into command mode by typing ‘enc’.
