Active Modem has reach the end-of-life
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your support. Active Modem has reach the end of life.
Overview
Quantum Data Systems. design, manufacture and market ACTIVE Professional Rack Mount Modem Pools. They are with V.42/MNP2-4 error control, V.42bis/MNP5 data compression as well as a 14400bps facsimile modem. They incorporate the latest in advanced communication technologies and providing maximum functionality and 100% data transfer accuracy at the highest data transfer speed.ACTIVE Rackmount modem Pools are compatible with many Terminal Servers and Multi-port Serial Adapters available world-wide, such as Cisco 2500 series, Annex, Computone, Chase Research, Perle Specialix, Lantronix, 3Com, Moxa, Digi Board, Systech, GTS, Huawei, etc.
General Applications are Remote Access, Multi-Users and Leased-Lines. Most suitable for Telco, Banking, Financial Institutes, ISP, BBS, School Net, Enterprises and Government Departments etc........
All ACTIVE rack mount modem pools come with data, fax and optional voice. Each chassis has 16 slots for the following modem cards:
- 560RDM modem pool using 560RD dial up cards (Feature with Data & Fax)
- 560RDM modem pool using 560RDV dial up cards. (Feature with Data, Fax & Voice)
- 336RDM modem pool using 336RD dial up cards. (Feature with Data & Fax)
- 560RLM modem pool using 560RL leased line cards. (Feature with Data & Fax)
- 336RLM modem pool using 336RL leased line cards. (Feature with Data & Fax)
- Commercial External 288UF+ or 336UF leased-line modem can pair with 336RL
To issue these industry-standard "AT" commands, first load a communication software package and then enter Terminal or Interactive Mode (Refer to your communication software manual).
All command lines must begin with the ASCII letters "AT" and end with "<Enter>" except for the A/ command and escape characters (default +++), which will be discussed later. The letters "AT" are sometimes referred to as an attention code. This command indicates to the modem that one or more commands are to follow. The "AT" and all following alphabetic characters may be in upper or lower case.
AT must be entered in the same case such as "AT" or "at".
"At" or "aT" are not permitted.
A series of commands can be grouped in a single line. The commands can be entered in a string with or without spaces for readability. Spaces within or between commands are ignored. The maximum number of characters in any command line is 39 (including ''AT"). During the entry of a command, the backspace key can be used to correct errors with the exception of "AT".
If a syntax error is found anywhere in a command line, the remainder of the line will be ignored and the ERROR result code will be returned. Most commands entered with parameters out of range will not be accepted and the ERROR result code will be returned.
This chapter lists all the commands used to configure the modem. It includes standard Hayes AT commands, Hayes V-series commands and extended commands to control ACTIVE modem.
DESCRIPTION OF AT COMMANDS
The symbol * means command setting may be stored in one of the two user profiles with the AT&Wn command.
A/ Re-execute command
Re-executes the most recent AT command string. The principle application of connect due to a busy line, no answer, or a wrong number. This command must appear alone in a command line and must be terminated by the "/" character. (A <Enter> should not be entered to end the command.)
+++ Escape Characters Default : +
Switch the modem from Online State to Command State without breaking the data connection. This character can be redefined by changing the value in S Register S2.
AT=x Write to Selected S Register
This command writes the value x to the currently selected S register. An S register can be selected by using the ATSn command. All of the S-register will return the OK response if x is a number.
AT? Read Selected S Register
This command reads and displays the selected S register. An S register can be selected by using the ATSn command.
ATA Answer
This must be the last command entered into the command line. The modem proceeds with the connect sequence in answer mode. The modem will enter the connect state after exchanging carrier with the remote modem. If no carrier is detected within a wait period specified in register S7(default = 50 seconds), the modem will disconnect. Any character may be entered via the DTE during the connect sequence to abort the command.
ATBn * Set ITU-T or Bell mode Default : 0
ATB0 Selects ITU-T V.22 and V.21 standards for communication at 1200 and 300bps
ATB1 Selects Bell 212A and 103 standards for communication at 1200 and 300bps
ATCn Carrier control Default : 1
This command is included for compatibility only, and has no effect other than returning a result code.
ATC1 Normal transmit carrier switching
ATDn Dial
This must be the last command in a command line. ATD causes the modem to go off-hook, dial according to the parameters entered, and attempt to establish a connection.
If there are no parameters, then the modem goes off-hook in originate mode without dialling a number.
Punctuation may be used for clarity. Parentheses, hyphens and spaces are ignored. If an invalid character is entered, that character and all subsequent characters in the dial string are ignored. The modem truncates dial strings to 36 characters.
Parameters: 0-9 A B C D * # L P T R ! @ W , ; ^ S=n
0-9 DTMF digits 0 to 9
A-D DTMF digits A,B,C and D. These digits may be prohibited in some countries
* The "star" digit (tone dialling only)
# The "gate" digit (tone dialling only)
J Perform MNP 10 link negotiation at the highest supported speed for this call (Optional)
K Enable power level adjustment during MNP 10 link negotiation for this call (Optional)
L Dials the last dial string that was dialled
P Use pulse dialling
T Use DTMF dialling
R Reverse mode. Allow the modem to call an originate-only modem by forcing the call into "answer mode". Must be entered as the last character of the command string (optional).
! Cause the modem to go on-hook for a time defined by the value in S29 and then off-hook.
@ Cause the modem to listen for 5 seconds of silence
W Wait up to the period of time specified in register S7 for dial tone before dialling
, Pause for the value specified by register S8 during dial
; Return to Command State after dialling
^ Turn on calling tone
