Escape character (i.e., +):
Sets the escape character. This is the character that is used in the
escape sequence to return from online state to local command state. The escape sequence consists
of the escape character being typed three times, with set communication-free periods of time
before and after the sequence. Back-to-back repeaters used in Hayes dial-up mode should have the
escape character set to ‘-‘. See the section Back-to-back Repeater Operation on page 23.
Escape guard time:
The time before and after the escape sequence has been entered that there
needs to be no activity for the radio to enter local command state.
Hang-up on DTR (low):
DTR is an RS-232 signal used to indicate to the radio whether the local
terminal is ready to communicate. Hang-up on DTR (low) causes a connection to be broken
whenever the DTR line is low.
Hang-up on DTR Dropped:
Hang-up on DTR dropped is used to disconnect whenever DTR
changes from a high to a low.
Local on DTR (low):
When DTR is low the radio goes into local command state. This is
equivalent to typing the escape sequence. Once the unit is in local command state, it will only
return to online state if the
ATO
command is issued. DTR should be high at this time to prevent the
radio immediately returning to local command state.
Ignore DTR:
The radio does not use the DTR signal to control its connection state.
Echo (ON/OFF):
Toggles the echo setting between on and off. When on characters typed at the
terminal will be echoed back to the screen while in local command state.
Response codes (ON/OFF):
This toggles whether the radio returns response codes. If the
response codes are on, all codes such as
OK
,
CONNECT
, and
NO CARRIER
will be returned to the
terminal.
Auto-answer (ON/OFF):
When auto-answer is on, the radio will automatically answer any
incoming call after the maximum number of rings has passed. When auto-answer is off the
ATA
command must be used to answer an incoming call.
Set Max Rings:
Sets the number of
RING
messages to output before automatically answering.
Set to Defaults:
Restores the Hayes settings to their factory defaults for the selected port. The
factory defaults are given in Appendix D.
