Venus AT Command Reference Manual
AT Command Set
(continued)
Escape Sequence
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line
command mode, you may communicate directly to the modem using AT commands. Use the On command to
return to data mode.
A pause, the length of which is set by the escape guard time (register S12), must be used before and after an
escape sequence is issued. This pause prevents the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The
value of the escape sequence character may be changed using register S2.
A/—Repeat Last Command
The A/ command instructs the modem to repeat the last AT command. It will repeat the command already in the
command buffer. This command does not require the AT prefix and does not have to be followed by the terminator
character. It is primarily used to redial the last number in the case of a busy signal.
A—Answer
This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call.
Bn—Communication Standard Setting
This command determines the communication standard used by the modem.
Result codes:
■
OK if n = 0—3, 15, 16.
■
ERROR if n
≠
0—3, 15, 16.
Table 2. Bn Commands
Cn—Carrier Control
The modem will accept the C1 command without error in order to ensure backward compatibility with communica-
tions software that issues the C1 command. However, this modem does not support the C0 command. The C0
command may instruct some other modems not to send carrier (i.e., it puts them in receive-only mode).
Result codes:
■
OK if n = 1.
■
ERROR if n
≠
1.
