COMMANDS
This is where you take control
NetComm Roadster Series 56K USB Modem
Commands
most people use the communication software programs to tell modems what to do. therefore, you may not use the commands in this
chapter. However, if you prefer to communicate with your modem directly, you can type the commands described below.
Here describes how to work in the terminal mode.
Typing Commands
•
•
•
Use the BACKSPACE key to delete typing errors.
Every command (except A/ and +++) must begin with the AT or at prefix and be entered by pressing the <Enter> key.
When you see an n, replace the n with one of the letter or numeric options listed for that command. For example, for the En
command, you might type ate1.
Basic at Command Guide
+++Escape Sequence
An escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line command mode, AT
commands are sent directly to the modem. Use the return to on-line data mode command
(see O<value>—Return to On-Line Data Mode) to return to data mode.
Place a pause before and after the escape sequence to prevent the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The length of
the pause is set by register S12 (see S12—Escape Guard Time), the escape guard time. Register S2 (see S2—AT Escape Character (User-
Defined)) identifies the escape sequence character.
A/—Repeat Last Command
Use this command to repeat the last at command. the modem repeats the command currently in the command buffer. do not use the at
prefix with this command. Do not conclude the commands with a terminating character such as enter.
A—Answer
This command instructs the soft modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call.
E<value>—Command Echo
Use this command to instruct the modem to echo characters sent to it. When the echo feature is selected, characters sent to the modem
are sent back to the host and displayed on the monitor.
Result codes:
_ OK if <value> = 0—1.
_ ERROR if <value> 0—1.
Command

TROUBLESHOOTING
Just in case you ever have to use this
troubleshooting
This appendix contains information that will help you to solve some of the common problems you might encounter, while using this 56Kbps
UsB modem.
Modem does not respond to AT commands
•
•
•
There may be a COM port/IRQ conflict. Reconfigure the modem COM port address and IRQ line.
Make sure that you have set the correct COM port and IRQ in the communications software.
Make sure the system is in Terminal mode of your communications software.
Modem cannot dial and “NO DIALTONE” message appears on the monitor
•
Check the phone cord connection. Make sure that the jack on the modem labeled Line is connected to an analog phone wall jack.
•
The modem cannot recognize the dial tone. This is typical in some corporate PBXs. Use the ATX1 command in your setup string to
enable Blind dial.
The modem does not answer an incoming call
•
Auto-answer function is disabled. Enable the function through software or by sending the ATS0=1 command to your modem in
terminal mode.
The modem disconnects while online
•
this may be caused by line interference. Retry the connection by dialing the numbers several times.
•
An incoming call may have broken the connection if the Call-waiting feature is enabled. Disable Call-waiting and try again.
Garbage characters display on the monitor
•
•
•
•
•
set your modem to the same word length, parity, and stop bits as the remote modem.
Make sure that your software and modem are set to the same flow control setting.
the software may not be set for correct terminal emulation.
Configure the software to correct type. ANSI terminal emulation is the most commonly used.
type the at&F command to load the factory default settings

605 to RJ-11 adapter
The 605 to RJ-11 adaptor is provided to comply with the older 610 Telstra wall socket. The 605 to RJ-11 adapter may be used to convert
the supplied RJ-11 cable, if the older connection is required.
USB cable
A typical USB cord has an “A” connection (“upstream” to plug into the computer) and a “B” connection (“downstream” to plug into the
device).
By using different connectors on the upstream and downstream ends, cable connection is simplified. The “B” connection will fit a into the
“B” socket of any USB device. Similarly, any “A” connector can be plugged into any
“A” socket, such as on a computer.
If it is a new device, the operating system auto-detects it and asks for the driver disk. If the device has already been installed, the computer
activates it and starts talking to it. USB devices can be connected and disconnected at any time.
