Online Command State


In the Online Command State the modem maintains the connection with the distant modem, but it treats DTE signals as commands. The modem may enter the Online Command State as a result of the patented Hayes Improved Escape Sequence with Guard Time or as a result of a DTR ON-to-OFF transition when certain combinations of &Dn and &Qn are in effect. The Online Command State only exists in the Smart Mode. Refer to the &Dn and &Qn commands.

Received data patterns, RDL requests, and equalizer retrain requests from the distant end are honored while the modem is in the Online Command State.
