Introduction
The modem recognizes AT commands from the DTE at any valid data rate from 300 bps to 115,200
bps (that is, the modem autobauds up to 115,200 bps); however, the DTE should use the data rate
specified for each mode according to the transmitting direction—DTE-to-modem (
Table 1 ) or
modem-to-modem ( Table 2 ). The V.90 and V.92 data rates are effective only in DCE-to-ISP
connections.
Each command may have one or more parameters associated with it. If a parameter is not sent for a
command requiring a numeric parameter, then the modem assumes a zero (‘0’) parameter (only if
zero is a valid parameter for the command). For example, ATZ and ATZ0 commands perform
identical functions (that is, the modem sees ‘ATZ’ and automatically uses the ‘0’ parameter during
processing the command). Other commands do not use parameters.
1.4 AT Commands Overview
The AT command set and S-registers are divided into four categories: data, Group 3 fax, voice, and
V.42/MNP. Summaries of all commands are provided later on in this chapter.

DTE-to-modem data rate Data (V.90) 28,800–115,200
Data (V.92) 28,800–115,200
Fax 19,200
Voice 19,200–115,200
