5-12 Utility Descriptions

On a desktop PC running Windows programs, such as Hyper Terminal,
determining the time zone is part of the setup of the operating system.
However, if COMM is run from a DOS box, the TZ variable still will need
to be set on the target machine.

COMM Commands

Enter most commands by pressing an Alt+key combination. Some
commands take effect immediately (such as changing the baud rate),
while others require further information (such as a

filename) before

continuing.

If you do not want to execute a command, or want to stop a command
while it is running (such as a file transfer), press the Esc key to return to
terminal mode.

Command Description

Alt+B

Sets the baud rate. This command toggles between all the
available baud rates. Continue to press Alt+B until the desired
baud rate appears on the status line at the bottom of the
display.

Alt+C

Clears the display.

Alt+D

Autodial allows entry of number to be dialed. Press Enter to
redial the previous number.

Alt+E

Toggle echo (duplex). Press Alt+E to toggle the duplex
between full (echo off) and half (echo on).

Alt+H

Hangs up if the modem is capable of hanging up with an ATH0
command.

Alt+P

Toggles through the available parameters allowing settings to
be made. Esc cancels the command.

Alt+T

When enabled, pressing the Enter key generates a CR/LF
instead of just a CR.

Alt+X

Exits the program. This command does not drop the carrier, so
use this command if you need to do MS-DOS operations while
online. You can run COMM again without losing the carrier and
continue with telecommunications.
