Fax Operation

 V.3400

9-9

CONNECT result code.  HDLC flags will continue to be sent until the 
first byte of data is received from the DTE or until 5 seconds elapses 
with no data.  For additional information, refer the Class 1 specification.

HDLC Receive   +FRH=

(Mod)

The command +FRH= (Mod) causes the modem to receive HDLC 
framed data using the modulation and speed selected with the (Mod) 
parameter.  If the selected carrier is detected, a CONNECT result code is 
sent to the DTE; if a different signal is detected, the modem sends a 
+FCERROR (CONNECT ERROR) result code and returns to command 
mode.  This command will be aborted if the DTE sends any character to 
the modem other than DC1 or DC3 during this mode.  For additional 
information, consult the Class 1 specification.

Test Supported Range of Values   +FT

x=?, +FRx=?

The supported range of values for any of the fax transmit or receive 
commands can be determined with the +FTx=? or +FRx=? command 
where x is MH, or S.  The normal transmit and receive capabilities are 
interrogated with +FTM=? and +FRM=?, while the HDLC transmit 
and receive capabilities are interrogated with +FTH=? and +FRH=?.  
Since the modem can send and receive normal data or HDLC data at all 
valid speeds up to 14400 bps, the modem returns the information text 3, 
24, 48, 72, 73, 74, 96, 97, 98, 121, 122, 145, 146 for any of these four 
commands if x is M or H.  For the commands +FTS=? or +FRS=? the 
modem returns the information text 0-255, indicating an allowed time 
interval from 0 to 2.55 seconds.  The appropriate information text is 
always preceded and followed by <CR><LF> and followed by an 
appropriate result code response.

Class 1 Result Code   +FCERROR

If the modem detects any carrier or tone that differs from that specified 
in a +FRM or +FRH command, it sends the +FCERROR result code 
and returns to command state, allowing the DTE to attempt a recovery.  
The numeric form of this response is +F4.
