Problem

You typed an AT command, but did not receive an OK or 0 result code.

„

„

Solutions

1. Your communications software may be using a different COM port than your

modem. Be sure both the software and your modem are addressing the same
COM port.

2. The E0 and Q1 commands may be in effect, disabling echo and result codes.

To verify this in terminal mode, type AT&V0 and press Enter with the
modem in command state to view the currently active settings. To enable
echo and result codes, type AT E1 Q0 and press Enter.

3. You may have typed the commands when your modem was in the data state

instead of the command state. To switch from data state to command state,
type the escape sequence code +++. To return to data state, type AT0 and
press Enter.
