AT Commands N - Z[edit | edit source]

This module explains the AT commands N to Z as used by a "generic" Hayes-compatible modem. Different modems use slightly different commands. However, this list is supposed to be as "generic" as possible, and should not be extended with modem-specific commands. Instead it is recommended to provide such command lists in an Appendix.

N: Negotiation of Handshake Options[edit | edit source]

Syntax:

N[0|1]

Description:

Controls whether during the handshake it is acceptable to fall back to a lower connection speed than specified by the S37 register. N0 indicates that fall back is not acceptable, N1 indicates that fall back is acceptable.

P: Select Pulse Dialing Method[edit | edit source]

Syntax:

P

Description:

Sets the default dialing method to pulse (rotary) dialing. The setting is valid until it is either changed by using the T command, or a T modifier with the D command.

Q: Result Code Display Options[edit | edit source]

Syntax:

Q[0|1]

Description:

The command allows to configure if result codes are supposed to be send to the DTE or not.

Q

or

Q0
(default) Result codes are send to the DTE.
Q1
No result codes are send (silent mode).

Result Codes:

Result codes are only send if the option is turned on.

V: Result Code Format Options[edit | edit source]

Syntax:

V[0|1]

Description:

digit responses (e.g. 1)
V1
(default) word responses (e.g. CONNECT)

Related Commands and Registers:

W: Negotiation Progress Message Selection[edit | edit source]

Syntax:

W[0|1|2]

Description:

The command controls the contents and format of the CONNECT message:

W

or

W0
(default). When connecting, the modem reports the DTE/DCE speed in the CONNECT message. The speed is reported only once, upon initial set up of the connection. Subsequent reports are disabled.
W1
When connecting, the modem reports the line speed, error correction protocol, and the DTE/DCE speed. The data is reported only once, upon initial set up of the connection. Subsequent reports are disabled.
W2
When connecting, the modem reports the line speed in the CONNECT message. The data is reported only once, upon initial set up of the connection. Subsequent reports are disabled.

Result Codes:

Result Codes
Code Description
OK if parameter was valid (0, 1, 2)
ERROR Otherwise.

X: Call Progress Options[edit | edit source]

Syntax:

X[0|1|2|3|4]

Description:

The command governs the type and verbosity of connect message responses. If the modem is in facsimile mode (+FCLASS=1), the only message sent to indicate a connection is CONNECT without a speed indication.

X

or

X0
blind dial, no busy detect, CONNECT.
X1
blind dial, no busy detect, CONNECT xxxx.
X2
dial tone detect, no busy detect, CONNECT xxxx.
X3
blind dial, busy detect, CONNECT xxxx.
X4
full monitor, all messages, CONNECT xxxx.

where xxxx = DTE rate or DCE rate.

Note that the connect message response is a function of Wn, Xn and \Vn.

Syntax:

Z (common)
Z[0|1|2|3] (US Robotics)
