Basic Modem Operation 15
You are now ready to start entering AT commands.
In the terminal window, type:
AT<Enter>
Your modem responds
OK
This confirms that the modem and your computer are communicating
correctly.
To test the telephone line connection issue the manual answer
command.
Type:
ATA<Enter>
Your modem will pick up the phone line, and try to communicate.
Normally, this command is only used to answer an incoming call made
from another modem, thus the high pitched tone you will hear from the
speaker. To abort the operation, press any key, or select “Disconnect”
from the “Call” menu.
