MODEM RESULT CODES
The operating system and application software that is
factory installed detects the modem characteristics and
provides the necessary command strings to operate the
modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by
generic AT commands from the operating system and
application software. The standard long form result
codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to
keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The
operating system and application software may suppress
display of the result codes.
Examples of result codes are:
■
OK
■
NO CARRIER
■
NO DIALTONE
■
CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete
at 53,000 bps.)
■
ERROR
■
FAX
■
RING (This means an incoming call.)
■
BUSY
■
NO ANSWER
When using the internal modem with applications
that are not factory installed refer to the
application documentation.
