libretto U100 Appendix C AT Commands In most cases, you will not need to type AT commands manually. However, there might be some occasions when you will need to do so. This chapter describes AT commands for data mode. Fax and voice commands are taken care of by application software. The format for entering AT commands is: ATXn where X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command. After you type in the command press ENTER.
AT Commands Bn Communication standard setting This command determines the communication standard CCITT or Bell. B0 Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bps. B1 Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bps (default). B15 Selects V.21 when the modem is at 300 bps. B16 Selects Bell 103J when the modem is at 300 bps (default). Result Codes: OK n=0,1,15,16 ERROR Otherwise Dn Dial This command instructs the modem to dial a telephone number.
AT Commands Result Codes: OK n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise Hn Hook control This command instructs the modem to go on-hook to disconnect a call, or off-hook to make the phone line busy. H0 Modem goes on-hook (default). H1 Modem goes off-hook. Result Codes: OK n=0,1 ERROR Otherwise In Request ID information This command displays product information about the modem. I0 Returns modem identity string and driver version number. I3 Same as I0. I9 Returns region ID in English.
AT Commands Nn Modulation handshake This command controls whether or not the local modem performs a negotiated handshake at connection time with the remote modem when the communication speed of the two modems is different. N0 When originating or answering, this is for handshake only at the communication standard specified by S37 and the ATB command. N1 When originating or answering, begin the handshake at the communication standard specified by S37 and the ATB command (default).
AT Commands T Select tone dialing This command instructs the modem to send DTMF tones while dialing. Dialed digits are tone dialed until a P command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting. Vn DCE response format This command controls whether result codes (including call progress and negotiation progress messages) are displayed as words or their numeric equivalents. V0 Displays result codes as digits. V1 Displays result codes as text (default).
AT Commands Dial tone detect Disabled: The modem dials a call regardless of whether it detects a dial tone. Enabled: The modem dials only upon detection of a dial tone, and disconnects the call if the dial tone is not detected within 10 seconds. Busy tone detect Disabled: The modem ignores any busy tones it receives. Enabled: The modem monitors for busy tones.
AT Commands &D2 If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data mode, the modem disconnects (default). &D3 Reset on the on-to-off DTR transition. Result Codes: OK n=0,1,2,3 ERROR Otherwise &F Load factory settings This command loads the configuration stored and programmed at the factory. This operation replaces all of the command options and the Sregister settings in the active configuration with factory values. &F Recall factory setting as active configuration. &Gn V.
AT Commands &Tn Self-test commands These tests can help to isolate problems if you experience periodic data loss or random errors. &T0 Abort. Stops any test in progress. &T1 Local analog loop. This test verifies modem operation, as well as the connection between the modem and computer. Any data entered at the local DTE is modulated, then demodulated, and returned to the local DTE. To work properly, the modem must be off-line.
AT Commands \N3 V.42, MNP, or buffered (default). The modem attempts to connect in V.42 error control mode. If this fails, it attempts to connect in MNP mode. If this fails, it connects in buffer mode and continues operation. This is also known as V.42/MNP auto reliable mode (same as &Q5). \N4 V.42 or disconnect. The modem attempts to connect in V.42 error control mode. If this fails, the modem disconnects. \N5 V.42. MNP or buffered (same as \N3). \N7 V.42. MNP or buffered (same as \N3).
AT Commands Result Codes: OK n=0,3 ERROR Otherwise C-10 User’s Manual
libretto U100 Appendix D S-registers S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails. You can also customize certain AT commands such as the escape sequence and command line termination.
S-registers S1 Ring counter This register is read only. The value of S1 is incremented with each ring. If no ring occurs over a six-second interval, this register is cleared. Range: 0-225 Default: 0 Units: rings S2 AT escape character (user defined) This register determines the ASCII values used for an escape sequence. The default is the + character. The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter command mode when on-line. Values greater than 127 disable the escape sequence.
S-registers S5 Command line editing character (user defined) This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local DTE the backspace character, an ASCII space character, and a second backspace character.
S-registers S8 Comma pause time This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encounters a comma (,) in the dial command string. In some countries/regions, S8 will set both wait before dialing and comma pause time. Range: 0-255 Default: 2 Units: seconds S11 DTMF dialing speed This register determines the dialing speed which is prefixed for each country/region. Range: 50-255 Default: 95 Units: .
S-registers S37 Dial line rate S37 = 0 (default) maximum modem speed S37 = 1 reserved S37 = 2 1200/75 bps S37 = 3 300 bps S37 = 4 reserved S37 = 5 1200 bps S37 = 6 2400 bps S37 = 7 4800 bps S37 = 8 7200 bps S37 = 9 9600 bps S37 = 10 12000 bps S37 = 11 14400 bps S37 = 12 16800 bps S37 = 13 19200 bps S37 = 14 21600 bps S37 = 15 24000 bps S37 = 16 26400 bps S37 = 17 28800 bps S37 = 18 31200 bps S37 = 19 33600 bps User’s Manual D-5

libretto U100 Appendix E V.90 The TOSHIBA internal modem uses V.90 technology. The modem is capable of downstream speeds of 56kbps (kilobits per second) when connected to an Internet service provider that supports V.90. As with any modem, the actual throughput (speed of data transfer) depends on analog telephone line conditions, which can vary considerably. Therefore, many users will experience throughput in the range of 28-50kbps under normal telephone line conditions. Upstream data flows at the V.

libretto U100 Glossary The terms in this glossary cover topics related to this manual. Alternate naming is included for reference.
Glossary IrDA: Infrared Data Association IRQ: interrupt request KB: kilobyte LCD: liquid crystal display LED: light emitting diode LSI: large scale integration MB: megabyte MS-DOS: Microsoft Disk Operating System OCR: optical character recognition (reader) PCB: printed circuit board PCI: peripheral component interconnect RAM: random access memory RGB: red, green, and blue ROM: read only memory RTC: real time clock SCSI: small computer system interface SIO: serial input/output SXGA+: super extended graphics
Glossary analog signal: A signal whose characteristics such as amplitude and frequency vary in proportion to (are an analog of) the value to be transmitted. Voice communications are analog signals. ANSI: American National Standards Institute. An organization established to adopt and define standards for a variety of technical disciplines. For example, ANSI defined the ASCII standard and other information processing requirements. antistatic: A material used to prevent the buildup of static electricity.
Glossary bus: An interface for transmission of signals, data or electric power. byte: The representation of a single character. A sequence of eight bits treated as a single unit; also the smallest addressable unit within the system. C cache memory: High speed memory which stores data that increases processor speed and data transfer rate. When the CPU reads data from main memory, it stores a copy of this data in cache memory.
Glossary compatibility: 1) The ability of one computer to accept and process data in the same manner as another computer without modifying the data or the media upon which it is being transferred. 2) the ability of one device to connect to or communicate with another system or component. components: Elements or parts (of a system) which make up the whole (system). computer program: A set of instructions written for a computer that enable it to achieve a desired result.
Glossary delete: To remove data from a disk or other data storage device. Synonymous with erase. device driver: A program that controls communication between a specific peripheral device and the computer. The CONFIG.SYS file contains device drivers that MS-DOS loads when you turn the computer on. dialog box: A window that accepts user input to make system settings or record other information. disk drive: The device that randomly accesses information on a disk and copies it to the computer’s memory.
Glossary escape: 1) A code (ASCII code 27), signaling the computer that what follows are commands; used with peripheral devices such as printers and modems. 2) A means of aborting the task currently in progress. escape guard time: A time before and after an escape code is sent to the modem which distinguishes between escapes that are part of the transmitted data, and escapes that are intended as a command to the modem. execute: To interpret and execute an instruction.

KB: See kilobyte. keyboard: An input device containing switches that are activated by manually pressing marked keys. Each keystroke activates a switch that transmits a specific code to the computer.
Glossary mode: A method of operation, for example, the boot mode, standby mode or the hibernation mode. modem: Derived from modulator/demodulator, a device that converts (modulates) digital data for transmission over telephone lines and then converts modulated data (demodulates) to digital format where received. monitor: A device that uses rows and columns of pixels to display alphanumeric characters or graphic images. See also CRT.
Glossary P parallel interface: Refers to a type of information exchange that transmits information one byte (8 bits) at a time. See also serial interface. parity: 1) The symmetrical relationship between two parameter values (integers) both of which are either on or off; odd or even; 0 or 1. 2) In serial communications, an error detection bit that is added to a group of data bits making the sum of the bits even or odd. Parity can be set to none, odd, or even.
Glossary restart: Resetting a computer without turning it off (also called “warm boot” or “soft reset”). See also boot. RGB: Red, green, and blue. A device that uses three input signals, each activating an electron gun for a primary additive color (red, green, and blue) or port for using such a device. See also CRT. RJ11: A modular telephone jack. RJ45: A modular LAN jack. ROM: Read Only Memory: A nonvolatile memory chip manufactured to contain information that controls the computer’s basic operation.
Glossary T terminal: A typewriter-like keyboard and CRT display screen connected to the computer for data input/output. TFT display: A liquid crystal display (LCD) made from an array of liquid crystal cells using active-matrix technology with thin film transistor (TFT) to drive each cell.
