Information Text (Info-Text)


The execution of a command line by the modem may include sending information text (info-text) to the DTE prior to sending the result code. Some commands produce info-text, others do not. The modem outputs the info-text, if any, for each command before executing the next command on the line. To determine the actual info-text, associated with a specific command, refer to the command definitions.

Each info-text message may be preceded and followed by &ltCR&gt&ltLF>depending upon which Vn command is in effect. See the Vn command for formatting rules. Note that an info-text message may contain multiple lines, and the <CR><LF> between these lines are not affected by Vn (although they are still programmed by registers S3 and S4, respectively). Several commands have info-text that violates these rules, however, in order to assure backwards compatibility of Hayes products. The exception is the I2 command. See <CR><LF>formats in I2 - Perform ROM Checksum Test .
