Modem Command Set (AT Commands)

In addition to the SRM's menu driven configuration functions, the internal modem will also

accept standard Rockwell format AT commands. This section describes the AT command set,

and lists the function of each command.
The AT command set is used to select advanced modem configuration parameters, which are

not available via the SRM's menuing system. AT commands can be sent directly to the modem,

or added to the user defined initialization string via item 13 (Custom Init. String) in the SRM's

Modem Parameters menu (see Section 5.3).

9.1. Communicating with the Internal Modem

In order to invoke AT commands, you must communicate directly with the SRM's internal

modem. The Modem Command mode is only available via the Console Port or the serial

modem port; inbound callers cannot communicate directly with the modem. To send AT

commands to the SRM's internal modem proceed as follows:

1. Via Console Port: Access the SRM command Mode as described in Section 5.1.1.

a) When the "SRM>" command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter] to display

the SRM Utilities Screen.

b) When the Utilities Screen appears, type 8 and press [Enter] to activate the Pass-

Through mode. When the Pass-Through Mode is active, the device connected to the

Console Port can send AT commands directly to the SRM's internal modem.

c) To exit the Pass-Through Mode, type /X and press [Enter], the unit will return to the

"SRM>" command prompt.

2. Via Modem Port: The device connected to the SRM's Modem Port can also issue AT

commands. Go to the secure device and start your communications program (e.g.

ProComm). Make certain that the communications program is configured to use the same

COM port that is connected to the SRM.
