Page 210: At Commands
Appendix C AT Commands In most cases, you will not need to type AT commands manually. However, there might be some occasions when you will need to do so. This chapter describes AT commands for data mode. Fax and voice commands are taken care of by application software.
Page 211 User’s Manual A Answer command This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call. Bn Communication standard setting This command determines the communication standard CCITT or Bell. Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bps. Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bps (default).
Page 212 Appendix C Return to command mode. Causes the modem to return to com- mand mode after dialing a number, without disconnecting the call. Dial a telephone number previously stored using the &Zn=X command (See &Zn=X command for more information). The range is 0-3.
Page 213 User’s Manual Ln Monitor speaker volume This command sets speaker volume to low, medium, or high. Low volume. Low volume. (Same as L0) Medium volume (default). High volume. Result Codes: n=0,1,2,3 ERROR Otherwise Mn Monitor speaker mode This command turns the speaker on or off. The speaker is off.
Page 214 Appendix C Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise On Return on-line to data mode Instructs the modem to exit on-line command mode and return to data mode (see AT escape sequence, +++). This command issues a retrain before returning to on-line data mode.
Page 215 User’s Manual T Select tone dialing This command instructs the modem to send DTMF tones while dialing. Dialed digits are tone dialed until a P command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting. Vn DCE response format This command controls whether result codes (including call progress and negotiation progress messages) are displayed as words or their numeric equivalents.

Enabled: The modem dials only upon detection of a dial tone, and disconnects the call if the dial tone is not detected within 10...
Page 217 User’s Manual &C0 The state of the carrier from the remote modem is ignored. DCD circuit is always on. &C1 DCD turns on when the remote modem’s carrier signal is detected, and off when the carrier signal is not detected (default).
Page 218 Appendix C &Gn V.22bis guard tone control This command determines which guard tone, if any, to transmit while transmitting in the high band (answer mode). This command is only used in V.22 and V.22bis mode. This option is not used in North Amer- ica and is for international use only.
Page 219 User’s Manual &T0 Abort. Stops any test in progress. &T1 Local analog loop. This test verifies modem operation, as well as the connection between the modem and computer. Any data entered at the local DTE is modulated, then demodulated, and returned to the local DTE.
Page 220 Appendix C \Nn Error control mode selection This command determines the type of error control used by the modem when sending or receiving data. Buffer mode. No error control. Direct mode. MNP or disconnect mode. The modem attempts to connect using MNP2-4 error control procedures.
Page 221 User’s Manual \Vn Protocol result code Disable protocol result code appended to DCE speed. Enable protocol result code appended to DCE speed (default). Result Codes: n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise %B View numbers in blacklist If blacklisting is in effect, this command displays the numbers for which the last call attempted in the past two hours failed.
Page 222: Appendix D S-Registers
Appendix D S-registers S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connec- tion fails.
Page 223 User’s Manual S0 Auto answer ring number This register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automatically answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command.
Page 224 Appendix D S4 Response formatting character (user defined) This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed character. The modem uses a line feed character in command mode when it responds to the computer. Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal Default: 10 (line feed) Units: ASCII...
Page 225 User’s Manual S7 Connection completion time-out This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up because carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes off-hook (answer). In origi- nate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of an answer tone if allowed by county restriction.

EC is replaced by one of the following symbols, depending upon the error control method used: V.42bis - V.42 error control and V.42bis data compression.
Page 229 Appendix E V.90/V.92 The TOSHIBA internal modem uses V.90 technology. The modem is capable of downstream speeds of 56Kbps (kilobits per second) when connected to an Inter- net service provider that supports V.90/V.92. As with any modem, the actual throughput (speed of data transfer) depends on analog telephone line conditions, which can vary considerably.
