AT Modem Command Syntax
- A command string should start with "AT" or "at", except for the commands "A/" and "+++". "At" or "aT" are invalid.
- Several commands can be given in one command string.
- The commands can be given in upper or lower case.
- A command string should contain less than 40 characters.
- When an error is made during the typing of the command, it can be corrected using the backspace key.
- Commands and command strings must be terminated with an <ENTER>, except +++ and A/
- A telephone number can exist of following characters:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * = , ; # + > . All other characters are ignored (space, underscore ). They help formatting the dial string.
- Commands that use a numerical parameter, can be used without a numerical value. In this case the command will be issued with the value zero.
- If the command string contains two consecutive commands without parameter, as discussed above, the modem will respond with an error.
- After the command ATZ has been issued, a pause of two seconds should be respected before entering the next commands.
- IMPORTANT: The commands below are standard Hayes AT commands. Some vendors implement their own AT commands which will only work with their brand/model of modem.
