Modem commands
This section provide information on the modem commands 
should you need to operate your modem from the DOS 
prompt using the AT command strings.
Executing commands
Your modem is in the Command Mode upon power-on and is 
ready to receive and execute AT commands. The modem 
remains in the Command Mode until it makes a connection 
with a remote modem. Commands may be sent to the 
modem from an attached terminal or a PC running a 
communication program.
The modem is designed to operate at common DTE speeds 
ranging from 115.2K bps (or 57.6K bps) to 300K bps. All 
commands and data must be issued to the modem using 
one of the valid DTE speeds.
Command format
All commands must begin with the 
AT
 prefix, followed by the 
command letter and ended with the 
Enter
 key. Spaces are 
allowed in the command string to increase command 
readability but are ignored by the modem during command 
execution. All commands may be typed in either upper or 
lower case, but not mixed. A command issued without any 
parameters is considered as specifying the same command 
with a parameter “0”.
Example:
ATL
[
Enter
]
This command causes your modem to lower its speaker 
volume.
