27 Chapter 3 - AT Commands 3 . 3 Dial Modifier Commands The dial string can include the digits 0 through 9, the pound sign (# ), the asterisk (* ), and the letters A, B, C, or D. The latter are used by some PBXs; the exact function will depend on the PBX manufacturer’s feature set and implementation. There are also several command characters, cal[...]

28 Chapter 3 - AT Commands , Dialing Pause Enter a comma in the dialing string to make the modem pause while dialing. This pause lasts two seconds (North American models) or four seconds (U.K. and International models) for each comma entered. You can force longer pauses by entering multiple commas, or you can change the length of the pause caused b[...]

29 Chapter 3 - AT Commands $ Call Card Tone Detect Use the $ command to dial services that require you to enter your call card number after a tone. A $ character in the dialing string causes the modem to pause and wait for an AT&T call card “bong” or a 1600 Hz tone (prevalent in the U.K.). When the modem detects the tone, it processes the r[...]

30 Chapter 3 - AT Commands 3 . 4 Phone Number Memory Commands The modem can store up to two telephone numbers in nonvolatile memory.

49 Chapter 3 - AT Commands 3.12 Flow Control Commands Flow control refers to the techniques used by data terminal equipment and the modem to pause and resume the flow of information between them. It prevents a device from accepting more data than it can handle. The modem implements flow control in both directions. When the modem halts the flow of d[...]

50 Chapter 3 - AT Commands &E 5 XON/XOFF Flow Control XON/XOFF flow control is an in-band method of data flow regulation used by the modem or computer (i.e., by flow control or pacing). If you issue the &E5 command to the modem, it will respond to XON/XOFF pacing, and use XON/XOFF characters as its own method of flow control to the computer[...]

51 Chapter 3 - AT Commands &En Pacing (Computer-Initiated Flow Control) n = 12 or 13 Default: &E13 Pacing is the means by which the DTE (data terminal equipment—your computer or terminal) regulates the stream of incoming data. It is only enabled when the modem has some form of flow control active, such as RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF. When pacing [...]

52 Chapter 3 - AT Commands 3.13 Escape Sequences Escape sequences (escape codes) cause the modem to enter command mode from online mode without disconnecting the call. There are two local escape sequences used by the modem, +++AT<CR> and <BREAK>AT<CR> , and one remote escape sequence, %%%AT<CR> (see “Remote Configuration?[...]

53 Chapter 3 - AT Commands 3.14 Remote Configuration Commands When you are online with another Multi-Tech modem, you can issue AT commands to it by sending a remote configuration escape sequence.

81 Chapter 6 - Testing and Troubleshooting 6 . 1 Introduction Each time you power up the MT2834MR6, it performs an automatic self-test to ensure proper operation. The MT2834MR6 also has three diagnostic tests: local analog loopback, digital loopback (remote/automatic), and digital loopback (local/manual). These ITU-T V.54 loopback tests isolate tel[...]

82 Chapter 6 - Testing and Troubleshooting 6 . 2 Local Analog Loopbac k T est (V .54 Loop 3) In this test, data from your computer or terminal is sent to your modem’s transmitter, converted into analog form, looped back to the modem’s receiver, converted into digital form, and then sent to your monitor for verification. No connection to the pho[...]

83 Chapter 6 - Testing and Troubleshooting 6 . 3 Remote Digital Loopbac k T est (V .54 Loop 2) In this test, your modem must be online with another modem, such as another ZDX, that is set up to respond to a request for remote digital loopback. With the ZDX, this ability to respond is controlled by the &T command. AT&T4 enables the response [...]

84 Chapter 6 - Testing and Troubleshooting 6 . 4 Local Digital Loopbac k T est (V .54 Loop 2) This test is identical to the remote digital loopback test with one exception.

106 Appendix Appendix F RS-232C Interface Specifications The MT2834MR6’s serial interface circuits have been designed to meet the electrical specifications in EIA (Electronic Industries Association) Recommended Standard 232, Revision C (RS-232C). All signals generated by the modem are approximately 10 volts when measured across a load of 3000 ohm[...]

107 Appendix Functional Description of the RS-232C Signals Transmitted Data (TD) — Pin 2 (To modem) Signals on this circuit are generated by the local computer and passed to the modem’s transmitter. A positive signal is a space (binary 0) and a negative signal is a mark (binary 1). The transmitting computer should hold this line in the marking [...]

108 Appendix Test Voltage (+V) — Pin 9 (From modem) This test pin has 330 ohms of resistance to +12 volts DC. It can be used to strap other signals high. For example, if the terminal does not supply a DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal, pin 9 can be jumpered to pin 20 (DTR) on the RS-232C connector or cable to force DTR on. High Speed (HS) — Pin [...]

109 Appendix Ring Indicator (RI) — Pin 22 (From modem) This signal remains on for the duration of the ringing signal. When a ring signal is received by the modem, the modem automatically answers after the first ring. The modem can answer after a specified number of rings which can be programmed in command mode, but if none is specified, the modem[...]

111 Appendix APPENDIX H Introduction to MultiTech Escape Methods You may sometimes find it necessary to issue AT commands to your modem, while you are online with a remote modem, without disconnecting the call. If so, you will want to take advantage of escape methods that allow you to change the modem’s mode of operation from online mode to comma[...]

112 Appendix How to Select an Escape Method If you want your modem to escape and then wait for you to issue a command before it will return to online mode, then use +++AT<CR>. For example, use this method if you find you need to review a help screen in the middle of a communications session. If you wish to combine the escape with a command (o[...]

113 Appendix S-Registers and Escape Sequence There are two S-registers to modify the functioning of escape sequences. Register S32 establishes a value for how much time may elapse between the receipt of the beginning of the escape sequence, whether <BREAK> AT or +++AT , and the receipt of a <CR>. This interval is known as wait-for-<C[...]

114 Appendix APPENDIX I Introduction to Remote Configuration Remote configuration, a feature of Multi-Tech’s MT2834MR6 modems, is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems anywhere in your network from one location. With password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT commands to a remote Multi-Tech modem for mainten[...]

115 Appendix Changing the Passwords 1. Establish a remote configuration link with the remote modem as described above. 2. Type AT#IMULTI-TECH (or AT#I xxxxxx if you have replaced the MULTI-TECH password with xxxxxx ) and press ENTER. The modem responds with OK if the login password is correct, and ERROR if it is wrong. 3. Type AT#SMODEMSETUP (or AT[...]
