SERIES II INTELLIGENT DATA/FAX MODEMS
Data Set Ready Control &S
The &S command allows you to control the status of the Data Set Ready
signal (DSR, Pin 6) on the RS232C interface. You have three choices.
You can force the signal high, allow it to act normally, or set it to stay
high until the modem disconnects, go low momentarily, and then go
high again. The last option is useful with some CBX phone systems
and mainframe front ends, which require DSR to act in this manner.
To allow DSR to act normally, enter the command AT&S1 (the default
setting). To force DSR on, enter the command AT&S0. To set up DSR
so that it drops for one second on disconnect and then comes up again,
enter AT&S2. (If you want the drop time to be something other than one
second, use S-Register S24 to change this value. Refer to Chapter 6.)
CTS/RTS Interaction Control &RF
In typical operation, Clear to Send follows Request to Send when the
modem is on-line. In other words, if RTS goes off, CTS goes off in
response. The &RF0 command enables CTS to follow RTS. In some
applications, however, it may be necessary for CTS to operate indepen-
dently of RTS. &RF1 allows CTS to operate independently regardless
of the state of RTS, and is the factory default. If this is the case, refer
to the &R command for control of the Clear to Send signal.
DSR/CD Interaction Control &SF
In typical applications, Data Set Ready (DSR) follows Carrier Detect
(CD). &SF0 enables DSR to follow CD, and is the factory default. &SF1
enables DSR to operate independent of CD. If this is your application,
refer to the &S command for control of the Data Set Ready signal.
5.4.8 Error Correction Commands
You can use AT commands to place your Series II Modem one of three
V.42 (error correction) modes of operation. These are the Normal,
Auto-Reliable, and Reliable modes.
