Repeating a Command Line
If the prefix "A/" or "a/" is received, the modem immediately executes once again the
body of the preceding command line. No editing is possible, and no termination character
is necessary. A command line may be repeated multiple times in this manner.
Responses to the repeated command line are issued using format of the original command
line. If "A/" is received before any command line has been executed, the preceding
command line is assumed to have been empty (that results in an OK result code).
Types of DTE Commands
There are two types of commands: action commands and parameter commands.
Commands of either type may be included in command lines, in any order.
Action commands may be "executed" (to invoke a particular function of the equipment,
which generally involves more than the simple storage of a value for later use), or
"tested" (to determine whether or not the equipment implements the action command,
and, if sub parameters are associated with the action, the ranges of sub parameter values
that are supported).
Parameters may be "set" (to store a value or values for later use), "read" (to determine the
current value or values stored), or "tested" (to determine whether or not the equipment
implements the parameter, and the ranges of values supported).
Basic Syntax Commands
Basic Syntax Command Format
The format of Basic Syntax commands, except for the D and S commands, is as follows:
<command>[<number>]
where <command> is either a single character, or the "&" character followed by a single
character per V.250. In addition, <command> can be the "%" character followed by a
single character, the "*" character followed by a single character, or the "^" character
followed by a single character.
<number> may be a string of one or more characters from "0" through "9" representing a
decimal integer value. Commands that expect a <number> are noted in the description
of the command. If a command expects <number>and it is missing (<command> is
immediately followed in the command line by another <command> or the termination
character), the value "0" is assumed. If a command does not expect a <number> and a
