6. Command Mode Commands 

6.1. General Command Common to Data Mode and Paging Mode 

These commands apply to the general configuration of the M8T, and are 
applicable in both the data modem mode and paging mode.   

Command

 

Command Description

 

Parameters

 

Factory

 

Default 

 

ATAT

 

Silence AFTER Sequence 

- Sets period of silence after the 

command sequence characters in mS.  

Range:0 – 1000 
(mS)  

500  

ATBD

 

Baud Rate 

– Sets serial com port baud rate (bps).  Type the 

range index (0-7) or the actual desired baud rate.  

Range: 0 – 7  
0 = 1200     5= 38400 
1 = 2400     6=57600 
2 = 4800     7=115200 
3 = 9600  
4 = 19200  

ATBT

 

Silence BEFORE Sequence 

– Sets period of silence before 

the command sequence character in mS.  

Range: 0-1000  
mS 

500  

ATCD 

Carrier Detect Threshold 

– Read/set the carrier detect 

threshold, in dBm.  -113 means  -113dBm.   

-113 

-120 to -60 

ATCH 

Configure Hardware Flow Control 

– Enable (1) or disable (0) 

flow control.  When enabled, the modem will monitor the RTS 
line, and if it is negated, stop sending data out the serial port.  If 
disabled, the modem will ignore the state of RTS, and always 
send out charators.  

  

1 = Enable 
0 = Disable 

ATCI 

Handshaking Invert 

– Used to invert the RTS handshaking 

signal. 0=normal, 1 = inverted. 

 

1 = Invert 
0 = Normal active low.  

ATCT

 

Command Time Out 

– If no valid commands have been 

received via the serial port within this time period (in 
milliseconds), modem returns to normal operation mode from 
Command mode.  If the CONFIG button inside the 

M8T 

is 

pressed, this parameter will be automatically set to 60000.   

Range: 100-60000mS  

60000  

AT

Echo –

 Character echo set on (E1) or off (E0).  This applies to 

the Command Mode only. 

 

Range: 0 , 1 

1 (echo) 

ATF 

Display frequencies 

– Display all of the frequencies 

programmed into all of the channel memories.

  

 

N/A 

ATFT 

Transmit Frequency – 

Program the transmit frequency for this 

channel. Enter in Hz or in MHz.  The frequency will 
automatically be saved in non-volatile memory (flash) for this 
current channel number.

 

Range: 

See product data 

sheet.  For MURS products, 
frequency cannot be 
changed.

 

See product 

data sheet. 

ATFR 

Receive Frequency – 

Program the receive frequency for this 

channel. Enter in Hz or MHz. The frequency will automatically 
be saved in non-volatile memory (flash) for this current channel 
number.

 

Range: 

See product data 

sheet.  For MURS products, 
frequency cannot be 
changed.

 

See product 

data sheet. 

ATFX 

TX and RX Frequency – 

Program the receive and transmit 

frequency for this channel. Enter in Hz or MHz. Same as 
issuing an ATFR and an ATFT command.  The frequency will 
automatically be saved in non-volatile memory (flash) for this 
current channel number.

 

Range: 

See product data 

sheet.

 

N/A 

AT

HN

 

Channel Number 

Select current radio channel number.  This 

command does not store the channel number into EEPROM,  

Range: 1 - 6
