Using RocketModem IV Features Using RocketModem IV Features The following subsections discuss using the speaker, Caller ID, Voice mode, and Low Power Sleep mode. Note: See the software installation document (Before Installing the Hardware on Page 2) for your operating system to reset a modem ports. Using the Speaker The RocketModem IV includes a speaker, which enables you to listen to the call in progress and helps you determine the state of the phone line and the modem.
Using Low Power Sleep Mode Using Low Power Sleep Mode The RocketModem IV supports the use of low power sleep mode through use of the S24 parameter. The following page numbers are referenced from the Conexant AT Commands Reference Manual.
AT Commands Hn In Disconnect (hang up) H0 Hang up (default). H1 Go off-hook Modem Identification I0 Reports product code (either 33600 or 56000). I1 Reports 255 if the pre-stored checksum value is FFh I2 Reports OK (for software compatibility). I3 Reports the Firmware version of modem Example: 3.
AT& Commands Xn Zn Extended Result Codes X0 Ignores dial & busy tone. Sends CONNECT message when a connection is established by blind dialing. X1 Disables monitoring of busy tones; sends only OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR. If busy tone detection is enforced and busy tone is detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of BUSY. If dial tone detection is enforced or selected and dial tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of NO DIALTONE. X2 Disables monitoring of busy tones.
AT% Commands &Pn Select pulse dial make/break ratio &P0 39/61 make/break ratio at 10 pulses per second (default) &P1 33/67 make/break ratio at 10 pulses per second &P2 39/61 make/break ratio at 20 pulses per second &P3 33/67 make/break ratio at 20 pulses per second &Qn Select Operation Mode &Sn &Wn &V AT% Commands &Q0 Selects direct asynchronous operation &Q5 The modem will try an error corrected link (default) &Q6 Selects asynchronous operation in normal mode (allows speed buffering and
+MS Command Supported Rates AT+MS Select / Force Modulation – This command is useful if you require to limit the modem to specific modulations or line speeds. This extended format controls the manner of operation of the modulation capabilities in the modem. It accepts six sub-parameters. Syntax AT+MS= ,,,,, To read the current settings enter: AT+MS? A typical response would be: +MS: V90,1,300,33600,300,56000 Meaning: V.
AT S Registers AT S Registers This section lists the basic AT Command Set S registers. The S registers use the following format: ATSr=n where “r” is the S register number and “n” is the value or parameter to set it to. To read the current contents of an S Register, issue ATSr? where “r” is the register in question. The modem will then display the value of the S Register.
Terminal Mode If the information is not correct, press N and Enter to restart the diagnostic. Note: The diagnostic resets and re-initializes all modems. The RocketModem IV uses downloadable firmware and the diagnostic also queries the firmware load status. If the firmware has not been loaded, it is downloaded automatically. If the firmware has been loaded, you are asked to select Y to reload the firmware or N to continue without reloading the firmware. 8.
Testing Two Modem Ports Testing Two Modem Ports You can use this procedure to test two modem ports. This example requires that phone lines be connected to both Ports 1 and 2. 1. Select Port 1. 2. Enter AT&F0 to initialize the modem to factory default parameters. 3. Enter ATS0=1 to direct the modem to answer the phone on the first ring. 4. Press Esc to return to the port menu. 5. Select Port 2. 6. Enter AT&F0 to initialize the second modem. 7.
