1.4 AT command syntax
The "AT" or "at" prefix must be set at the beginning of each command line. To terminate a command line enter
.
Commands are usually followed by a response that includes " ". Throughout this
document, only the responses are presented, are omitted intentionally.
Types of AT commands and responses:
1.4.1 Using parameters
• Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets. If optional parameters are omitted, the current settings
are used until you change them.
• Optional parameters or subparameters can be omitted unless they are followed by other parameters. If you
want to omit a parameter in the middle of a string it must be replaced by a comma. See also example 1.
• A parameter value enclosed in square brackets represents the value that will be used if an optional parameter
is omitted. See also example 2.
• When the parameter is a character string, e.g. or , the string must be enclosed in quotation
marks, e.g. "Charlie Brown" or "+49030xxxx". Symbols within quotation marks will be recognized as strings.
• All spaces will be ignored when using strings without quotaton marks.
• It is possible to omit the leading zeros of strings which represent numbers.
• If an optional parameter of a V.25ter command is omitted, its value is assumed to be 0.
