Command Processing


This section describes the structure of commands (in the form of ASCII characters) from the DTE to the modem and replies from the modem to the DTE. Other modem input signals that may command the modem to take some action are covered in other sections.

Many modem parameters and some command memory are stored in user accessible registers called S-registers. For example, S-register S3 contains the decimal value of the &ltCR>character. S-register behaviors and definitions are discussed in the S - Register section.

The carriage return, line feed, and back space characters are user-defined by means of S-Registers. The symbols &ltCR&gt, &ltLF&gt, and &ltBS>in this text represent the characters that are defined to mean carriage return, line feed, and back space, respectively. If you do not change their definitions, the three symbols are defined as the ASCII characters CR, LF, and BS.
