Modem Commands
The Transport LT Modem includes the basic commands used by the Smart
Modem of the Hayes Corporation. Additional commands are added to improve its
capacity.
What are AT commands?
AT commands are the control commands of Fax modems developed by the
Hayes Corporation. AT commands are the industry standard and are necessary
for any fax modem. It is used with S-register to set the modem status.
Generally, AT commands are used by directly entering the command into any
communications program, like Hyper terminal.
You can perform the following functions more easily by using AT commands.
•
Calling up or hanging up the phone in order to communicate by computer
modem.
•
Choosing a modem in order to make the most efficient communication
status.
Communication programs are becoming more efficient and more intelligent, and
users do not need to know all the AT commands. Knowing a few basic commands
is enough for computer communications.
Before Using AT Commands
To use AT commands, enter them into terminal-based communication programs
directly. (Hyper terminal within Windows 98 and Windows NT, and third party
communication programs like CrossTalk and Procomm.)
CompuServe and America On-line applications are not terminal-based
communication programs, but they are communication programs based on
Graphic environment. These programs, and those like them, can initiate the
modem setting by entering an AT command in a menu with a modem initialization
command.
Before using AT commands you have to know there are two kinds of modes when
you use it.
