Modem - Hayes AT-Commands - Functions


Modem - Hayes-AT - Commands - Functions

The Hayes-AT command set is not a definite standard, however most modems will follow near all of the below specified AT-commands.
If the origin Modem-Manual is available, I would highly recommend to use the origin setup instructions, rather than use the below tables.


When entering an AT-commandstring do not mix UPPER-CASE and lower-case letters.
(Sample: use AT&F -or- at&f and not aT&f )
