Dial Modifiers
Issue 2 November 1996
B-7
Dial Modifier: ; (semicolon)
Function: Terminates the dial string, and returns to command
state after processing a dial command.
S-Register: none
Example: AT DT 9,1 800 624-5123; DP 555-1212; O
Comments: The semicolon returns you to a command state and
allows you to enter more commands.
In the above example, a data call is made, and the
semicolon returns you to the command mode. A voice
call is then made and the O sends you back to the data
connection.
When the dial command specifies a stored number to
be dialed, the semicolon can be entered after the S=n
command. If a semicolon is omitted, the call is made,
but all commands following the dial command will be
ignored if the call was a data call.
If the dial command for a voice call is the last command
on the command line, the semicolon dial modifier may
be omitted (the 8400B Plus Data Module will still return
to the command mode).
