Note: Although both the headset or headphone plug into the
same jacks as the external speaker and microphone, they require
different settings. Do not use an external speaker and
microphone in headset mode!
Using AudioSpan with Games and Software
Applications
More and more software packages support AudioSpan in a direct
and user-friendly way. These software packages include
BitWare, FarSite Lite, and Wacky Wheels. For software that
doesn’t directly support AudioSpan, you can still use the feature
by employing certain AT commands in your modem’s initialization
string.
These AT commands turn AudioSpan on and off and select the
hardware settings you use to speak with and listen to another
user.
The general form of the commands is:
$$AS
n=ON to turn AudioSpan on, and
$$AS
n=OFF to turn AudioSpan off
Where n is a number from 1 to 6. The following chart describes
the use of the numbers:
Voice Device
Moderate Voice Quality
with Faster Data
Best Voice
Quality with
Slower Data
Speakerphone
$$AS5 (recommended)
$$AS6
Telephone
$$AS3
$$AS4
Headset/Headphone
$$AS1
$$AS2
For example, to turn on AudioSpan using speakerphone hardware
and faster data, include the following in the initialization string:
$$AS5=ON
You may later call an AudioSpan modem when you do not want
AudioSpan on—because you want privacy or a higher data rate,
