<appendix id="appendix-hayes-commands">
<title>The Hayes Modem Command Set</title>

<para>Here is a description of the Hayes Command Set. Most modems follow this
command set to large extent. If you lost your modem manual or never had one in
the first place, this reference might come in handy. I for instance finally found
out how to turn my modems speaker off: <command>ATM0</command> -- Finally:
Silence!</para>

<para>The modem initialization string consists of a series of commands. It
prepares the modem for communications, setting such features as dialing mode,
waits, detection of the busy signal and many other settings. Newer modem
communications programs reset the initializations string for you according to
which menu options you select, which features you enable, &etc;.</para>

<para>For many years Hayes modems have been the standard. As the field of modem
manufactures has grown, most have adhered at least loosely to the Hayes
standard. The following is a partial list of the Hayes command set. (called the
<quote>AT</quote> commands). The Hayes Command Set can be divided into four
groups:</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Basic Command Set</term>
<listitem><para>A capital character followed by a digit. For example,
<command>M1</command>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Extended Command Set</term>
<listitem><para>An <quote>&amp;</quote> (ampersand) and a capital character
followed by a digit. This is an extension of the basic command set. For example,
<command>&amp;M1</command>. Note that <command>M1</command> is different from
<command>&amp;M1</command>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Proprietary Command Set</term>
<listitem><para>Usually started by either a backslash (<quote>\</quote>), or a
percent sign (<quote>&percnt;</quote>), these commands vary widely among modem
manufacturers. For that reason, only a few of these commands are listed
below.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Register Commands</term>
<listitem><para><command>S<replaceable>r</replaceable>=<replaceable>n</replaceable></command>
where <replaceable>r</replaceable> is the number of the register to be changed,
and <replaceable>n</replaceable> is the new value that is
assigned.</para>

<para>A <quote>register</quote> is computerese for a specific physical location
in memory. Modems have small amounts of memory onboard. This fourth set of
commands is used to enter values in a particular register (memory location). The
register will be storing a particular <quote>variable</quote> (alpha-numeric
information) which is utilized by the modem and communication software. For
example, <command>S7=60</command> instructs your computer to <quote>Set register
#7 to the value 60</quote>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<note><para>Although most commands are defined by a letter-number combination
(<command>L0</command>, <command>L1</command> &etc;), the user of a zero is
optional.  In this example, <command>L0</command> is the same as a plain
<command>L</command>.  Keep this in mind when reading the table
below!</para></note>

<para>Here are some of the most important characters that may appear in the
modem initialization string.  These characters normally should not be
changed.</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>AT</command></term>
<listitem><para>Tells the modem that modem commands follow.  This must begin
each line of commands.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>Z</command></term>
<listitem><para>Resets the modem to it's default state</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>,</command> (a comma)</term>
<listitem><para>makes your software pause for a second. You can use more than
one <command>,</command> in a row. For example, <command>,,,,</command> tells
the software to pause four seconds. (The duration of the pause is governed by
the setting of register <varname>S8</varname>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>^M</command></term>
<listitem><para>Sends the terminating Carriage Return character to the modem.
This is a control code that most communication software translates as
<quote>Carriage Return</quote></para></listitem></varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para>A direct connection is a simple straight-through connection without any
error connection or data compression.  In this case, the computer-to-modem and
modem-to-modem speeds must be identical.</para>

<para>A normal connection uses flow control (either software or hardware) to
buffer the data being sent or received, so that the modem can transmit data at a
different rate than the computer is actually sending or receiving it. For
example, a computer may send actual data at 57kbps, but using compression, the
modem only actually sends 28.8kbps. This is the mode use by most modems.</para>

<para>A reliable connection is a type of normal connection; if, for some reason,
data compression or error correction cannot be established or maintained, the
connection will hang up. (In essence, such a modem ensures that all connections
are reliable, for it will hang up if the connection isn't.)</para>

<para>Likewise, an auto-reliable connection is virtually the same, except that
the modem will try to renegotiate the connection in order to establish a
reliable connection. Again, this is the mode that most modems use.</para>

<para>Many modems have dozens, even hundreds, of S registers, but only the first
dozen or so are fairly standard. They are changed with a command like
<command>ATS<replaceable>n</replaceable>=<replaceable>N</replaceable></command>,
and examined with <command>ATS<replaceable>n</replaceable>?</command> (&eg;

seconds should it not hear the answering modem, and return the number of times
the phone last rang.)</para>
