Modem Functions

Hayes modems provide auto dial and auto answer functions in addition to transmission and reception of data signals. The modem goes off-hook, dials numbers, connects to a distant modem (handshakes), modulates data from a local DTE for transmission, and demodulates received signals from a distant modem. The modem also provides many auxiliary functions, including several types of tests. The AT command set facilitates control and observation of modem functions.
