MP Command: MS
MS - Modem Status
• Access level—Single Partition User
• Scope—Complex
This command displays the result of the system modem’s power-on selftest and shows the state of the modem
lines. Each time the system is powered-on, the MP command performs a selftest and then reads a modem
register containing the results of the last selftest.
The modem selftest register is read by using the AT&T8 command. The result displayed is exactly the same
as the one returned by the modem. No analysis of the result is done.
If the MP is unable to complete the modem access (auto-identification and self-test register reading) before
the MS command is performed, the following message will be displayed:
Modem initialization not done. Use MR to complete it.
The MS command also displays the state of the modem lines. This display is updated when the operator
enters a Carriage Return. The command displays the current state of the status signals (DCD, CTS, DSR, RI)
and the last state of the control signals (FS, GPO, DTR, RTS) as set by the firmware.
