Without Echo:

 

In Modem Mode, echo refers to the echo of all of the characters entered 
in command mode; it does not mean to echo data that is transferred. 
Quiet Mode (without echo) refers to the modem not sending an answer 
to the commands received (or displaying what was typed).  

Data Echo & 
Modem Response

 

Full Verbose

: The unit echoes modem commands and responds to a 

command with a message string shown in the table below. 

Numeric Response

: The unit echoes modem commands and responds 

to a command with a numeric response.  

Modem Responses 
Only 

Full Verbose: 

The unit does not echo modem commands and responds 

to a command with a message string shown in the table below. 

Numeric Response

: The unit does not echo modem commands and 

responds to a command with a numeric response.

 

 

Message  

Meaning  

OK 

Command was executed without error. 

CONNECT 

A network connection has been established. 

DISCONNECT 

A network connection has been closed. 

RING n.n.n.n. 

A remote device, having IP address n.n.n.n, is connecting to this 
device. 

 

Message  

Meaning  

OK 

Command was executed without error. 

CONNECT 

A network connection has been established 

NO CARRIER 

A network connection has been closed. 

RING n.n.n.n 

A remote device, having IP address n.n.n.n, is connecting to this 
device.  

0 OK 
1 Connected 
2 Ring 
3 No 

Carrier 

4 Error 

Received commands must begin with the two-character sequence 

AT

 and must be terminated with a 

carriage return character.  

Any character sequence received not starting with 

AT

 will be ignored. The unit will only recognize and 

process single 

AT

-style commands. Compound 

AT

 commands will be treated as unrecognized commands. 

If the 

Full Verbose

 option is in effect, an unrecognized command string that is otherwise formatted 

correctly (begins with 

AT

 and ends with carriage return) will be responded to with the 

OK

 message and no 

further action is taken. 

If the Numeric Response option is in effect, unrecognized command strings that are otherwise formatted 
correctly will be responded to with 

OK

 and no further action is taken. 

When an active connection is in effect, the unit will be transferring data and will not process commands 
received from the serial interface. 

When a connection is terminated or lost, the unit will revert to command mode. 

When an active connection is in effect, the unit will terminate the connection if the following sequence is 
received from the attached serial device: 
1.

 

No serial data is received for one second. 

2.

 

The character se++ is received, with no more than one second between each two characters.
