Usage guidelines

The callback function enables a modem to disconnect an incoming call and call back the calling party upon request.

Examples

# Enable the callback function.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] modem callback

modem caller-number resolve

Use modem caller-number resolve to enable the modem to obtain the call numbers of calling terminals.

Use undo modem caller-number resolve to disable the modem from obtaining the call number of calling terminals.

Syntax

modem caller-number resolve [ ata-waiting-time time ]

undo modem caller-number resolve

Default

Views

User line view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ata-waiting-time time: Specifies the maximum amount of time that the modem waits for a calling terminal to send the call number. The value range for the time argument is 10 to 10000, in milliseconds. The default value is 1000. When this timer expires, the modem does not receive the call number of the terminal. Increase the timer value on a slow link for the router to obtain caller numbers successfully.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION: Executing this command disconnects the modem connection that has been established on the user line.

 

This command is for point of sale (POS) terminal access services. It is available only on TTY lines for AM interfaces.

Configure this command if a bank front end processor requires the router to send the call numbers of POS terminals for acknowledgment before it accepts data from the terminals.

For more information about POS terminal access services and caller number sending, see Terminal Access Configuration Guide.

Examples

# Enable the modem to obtain caller numbers on TTY 81, and set the caller number waiting timer to 10 seconds.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] line tty 81

[Sysname-line-tty81] modem caller-number resolve ata-waiting-time 10000

sendat

Use sendat to issue an AT command to a modem.

Syntax

sendat at-string

Views

Interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

at-string: Specifies an AT command, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 300 characters. The router automatically converts lowercase characters to uppercase when it sends the command to the modem. Enter the AT prefix before all commands except A/ (Repeat Last Command) and +++ (Escape code). For more information about AT commands that begin with AT, see Table 1.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION: This command changes the modem operating state. Incorrect use of this command can cause problems such as dial-up failure. When you use this command, make sure you understand the impact of this command.

 

This command is available on the following interfaces:

·     Asynchronous serial interface

·     Asynchronous/synchronous serial interface in asynchronous mode

·     AM interface

·     AUX interface

To send AT commands to a modem, you must first place the modem in AT command mode. To confirm that you can send AT commands, enter sendat at. The modem will return OK or 0 if it is ready to accept AT commands.

One sendat command can issue one AT command. To send multiple AT commands to a modem, you must repeat the sendat command.

This command does not verify the validity of AT commands. To verify the AT command execution result, enable modem debugging on the interface. To view the AT commands sent to the modem, issue the E1 command to the modem.

Table 1 describes commonly used AT commands. Support for AT commands varies by modems.

Table 1 AT commands in common use

Command	Description
A	Forces the modem to go off-hook in answer mode. If a call is coming in, the modem will try to answer it without waiting for the ringtone. This command is useful when manual answer mode is used.
Bn	Sets the modulation protocol preference. Available options: ·     B0—Selects the ITU V.22 mode. The transmission speed is 1200 bps. ·     B1—Selects the Bell 212 mode.
