Fax Answering
Answering of fax calls is identical to answering of data calls with the exception that the
modem enters the fax handshaking mode instead of the data handshaking mode after
going off-hook. If +FAE=0, the modem, after sending answer tone, automatically enters
fax mode (+FTH=3), sends the CONNECT message to the DTE, and starts sending FSK
flags. If +FAE=1, the modem determines whether the caller is a data modem or fax
modem and sends the DATA or FAX result code, respectively, to the DTE.
Fax Control Transmission
Fax control transmission is initiated by the +FTH=<mod> command. After this
command is issued, the modem generates the CONNECT message and transmits carrier
in the modulation scheme specified by the parameter n. The modem then transmits
HDLC flags for a minimum of 1 second. The modem continues to transmit the HDLC
flags until it receives a character from the DTE.
When characters are received from the DTE, the modem adds start and end flags,
performs zero-bit insertion, generates FCS, and deletes <DLE><chr> character pairs
before transmitting the characters to the remote fax machine. Each <DLE><DLE>
sequence is transmitted as a single <DLE>. <DLE><ETX> is considered as the end of
frame marker and is not transmitted. All data received from the DTE after <DLE><ETX>
is ignored by the modem until the modem generates either the CONNECT, OK, or
ERROR result code.
If no more data is in the transmit buffer and the final bit was a 1 (bit 4 of the second byte
received from the DTE), the modem generates the OK result code and returns to the
command mode. If the final bit was a 0, the modem generates the CONNECT message
and waits for further data from the DTE while transmitting HDLC flags. If no more data
is received before 5 seconds elapse, the modem drops carrier, goes on-hook, and
generates the ERROR result code.
Fax Control Reception
Fax control reception is initiated using the AT+FRH=<mod> command. After this
command is issued, the modem looks for carrier in the modulation scheme specified by
the parameter n. If no carrier is detected before the period of time specified by register S7
expires, the modem generates the NO CARRIER message and returns to command
mode. If a carrier is detected that is not the one specified by the parameter n, the modem
generates the +FCERROR message and returns to the command mode. If the specified
carrier is detected, the modem generates the CONNECT message and enters the HDLC
receive mode.
