Extended Syntax Commands

2.4.1

Command Naming Rules

Both actions and parameters have names, which are used in the related commands. Names
always begin with the character "+". Following the "+", from one to 16 additional characters
appear in the command name. These characters will be selected from the following set:

A through Z

(IA5 4/1 through 5/10)

0 through 9

(IA5 3/0 through 3/9)

! (IA5

2/1)

% (IA5

2/5)

- (IA5

2/13)

. (IA5

2/14)

/ (IA5

2/15)

: (IA5

3/10)

_ (IA5

5/15)

The first character following the "+" must be an alphabetic character in the range of "A"
through "Z". This first character generally implies the application in which a command is used
(e.g., F for Fax or V for voice).

The modem considers lower-case characters to be the same as their upper-case equivalents.

2.4.2

Values

When subparameters are associated with the execution of an action, or when setting a
parameter, the command may include specification of values. This is indicated by the
appearance of <value> in the descriptions below.

<value> consists of either a numeric constant or a string constant.

Numeric Constants

Numeric constants are expressed in decimal, hexadecimal, or binary.

Decimal numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0" through
"9", inclusive.

Hexadecimal numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0"
through "9", inclusive, and "A" through "F" inclusive. The characters "A" through "F"
represent the equivalent decimal values 10 through 15.

Binary numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0" and "1".

In all numeric constants, the most significant digit is specified first. Leading "0" characters
are ignored by the modem. No spaces, hyphens, periods, commas, parentheses, or other
generally-accepted numeric formatting characters are permitted in numeric constants; note in
particular that no "H" suffix is appended to the end of hexadecimal constants.
