Data Communication and Host Modes
Rev 3.0B Feb.08 63
If Quiet mode is off, the result code is affected as follows:
For V=1 (Verbose mode), the textual result code is sur‐
rounded by a carriage return and new line. Any AT
query response is also surrounded by a carriage return
and new line.
For V=0 (Terse mode), a numeric result code is output
with a single trailing carriage return (no new line is
output), while any AT query response is followed by a
carriage return and new line (there is no preceding
output).
• For example, possible output to the AT command “AT”
with carriage return (assuming quiet mode is not on) is:
carriage return ‐ if V=0
carriage return and new line OK another carriage
return and new line ‐ if V=1
Note: These commands work for the port on which they are executed.
For example, if the user types ATE1 and then AT&W using a serial
port connection, it will set the serial port to Echo On.
PassThru Mode
In PassThru mode, the PinPoint X does not behave normally,
all port communication is passed directly between the internal
hardware and the computer connected directly to the modem.
This mode can be used to configure hardware‐specific settings.
For example, provisioning, troubleshooting, communicating
with legacy equipment, etc.
Caution: ALEOS is disabled in PassThru Mode. You cannot use
most ALEOS specific commands while the modem is in PassThru
Mode. While in PassThru mode, you also cannot use AceManager to
connect with the PinPoint.
Issuing the “AT\APASSTHRU” from a terminal emulation
enters this mode. The modem responds with OK, at which
point a direct connection to the internal hardware is estab‐
lished. You can also configure the modem to enter PassThru
mode on start up using MD.
Tip: PassThru can only be exited by resetting or power-cycling the
modem. This mode cannot be entered via a remote Telnet session.
