135 Appendix F - MMH2834 Modem Commands TERSE VERBOSE 0O K 1 CONNECT 2 RING 3 NO CARRIER 4 ERROR 5* CONNECT 1200 6 NO DIAL TONE 7 BUSY 8 NO ANSWER 9* CONNECT 2400 1 1* CONNECT 4800 12* CONNECT 9600 13.
136 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual The MMH2834 also can detect a distant busy signal, if after dialing, it reaches a busy number . This is useful because it allows the modem to immediately abandon a call, rather than wait 45 seconds for a carrier signal that will never come.
137 Appendix F - MMH2834 Modem Commands F . 7 Phone Line Conditioning Commands Enable or Disable Recognition of Remote Digital Loop Signal &T The MMH2834 has several self-test features (covered in Appendix G). The tests are activated with different U commands, such as A TU1 , and so fortF .
138 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual F .9 Error Correction Commands Y ou can use A T commands to place your MMH2834 one of three V .42 (error correction) modes of operation. V.42 Mode Select #L The V .42 standard implements both MNP Class 3 & 4 and LAP-M error correction methods.
139 Appendix F - MMH2834 Modem Commands Enable/Disable Auto-Reliable Fallback Character $F In Auto-Reliable mode, the modem is given four seconds to establish a Reliable connection.
140 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual F .10 Compression and Maximum Block Size Commands Data Compression The data compression ( &E14 ) command enables data compression. Maximum Block Size &BS The maximum size of Reliable mode data blocks can be controlled with the &BS command.
141 Appendix F - MMH2834 Modem Commands F .1 1 Speed Conversion Commands Speed conversion is a necessary part of data compression since data must be presented to the modem faster than it can handle data, if data compression is to be effective.
142 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual Serial Port Baud Rate $SB The $SB command presets the speed of the MMH2834's serial (RS232C) port, in both Originate and Answer modes. Speed conversion allows you to set this serial port baud rate at a fixed speed of up to 1 15,200 bps, regardless of the modem’s transmission speed setting.
143 Appendix F - MMH2834 Modem Commands F .12 Immediate Action Commands Help Screens $H The Help command is designed to give you short explanations on how to use each MMH2834 command. The Help command can be quite useful if your manual is not handy and you are in the middle of a communications session.
144 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual Listing On-Line Diagnostics L8 The L8 command displays the current on-line CONNECT status status of the MMH2834. This display can be printed and used as a modem status report or as diagnostic information (such as when calling T ech Support).
145 Glossary Glossary A AC (Alternating Current): A power source whose signal crosses a reference voltage (usually called ground or zero). Alternating between a maximum and minimum voltage, AC may also be referred to as a bipolar signal. Contrast with DC.
146 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual BSC (Binary Synchronous Communications): Also called "bisync", this communications protocol was the first synchronous data format used by IBM. It is still in use, but is rapidly being replaced by IBM's newer Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC).
147 Glossary De facto standards: A de facto standard is one of two types of voluntary standards recognized by a given market. It is introduced by a single vendor and becomes a standard by its widespread use and acceptance by other vendors.
148 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual Flow control: The process of regulating the speed at which data enters or leaves a serial port. Software flow control is implemented by communications software or by the user sending predefined characters or packets which are recognized as "pause" and "resume" indicators.
149 Glossary L Leased Line: A private, dedicated communications channel that connects two locations. This connection lasts for the duration of the subscription.
150 DataT alker Owner ’ s Manual PCMCIA (personal computer memory card international association): An organization of U.S. and Japanese companies set up to standardize memory cards and other architecture-independent expansion devices. These cards are typically used in laptop computers.
151 Glossary Synchronous Transmission: The transmission of data which involves sending a group of characters in a packet. This is a common method of transmission between computers on a network or between modems. One or more synchronous characters are transmitted to confirm clocking before each packet of data is transmitted.
