AT COMMANDS
The AT command set has become a de facto industry standard for
commanding low, medium and high speed asynchronous modems.
The SNM 15 modem’s extended AT command set is fully
compatible with the original AT command set, but in addition, it
contains command for error control, speed conversion and
stored numbers for auto-dialling.
There are two basic modes of operation for SNM 15:
COMMAND
mode
and
DATA mode
.
COMMAND mode
is when the
modem is not connected to another modem, that is “off-line” or
idle condition. In this mode the modem will accept commands
beginning with the AT prefix.
DATA mode
is when the modem
is connected to another modem, that is “on - line” condition or
operative. While in this condition all the characters sent from
DTE are interpreted as data and they are sent to the remote mode.
You may switch from data to command mode by entering an
escape sequence. The default escape sequence is +++ (see
Register S12) which must have a period of one second before and
after its being keyed, where no other characters are sent to the
modem. To go back into data mode simply type
ATO<CR>
.
The AT commands fall into three categories:
1.
”AT”
or
“at”
+ <command body> + <CR>
Most AT commands belong to this category. This command can
be divided into three additional sub-categories:
