SERIAL ASYNCHRONOUS AUTOMATIC DIALLING AND CONTROL
Summary
This Recommendation (formerly Recommendation V.25 ter) defines commands and responses for use
by a DTE to control a V-Series DE usin! serial data interchan!e o"er an asynchronous interface. #t
contains four elements$
% codifies e&istin! practice in common 'ST(-DE that use the )Ttention ()T) command set*
% defines a format for orderly e&tension of the )T command set*
% pro"ides a set of standardi+ed e&tensions for common functions to identify the DE, to
control the DTE-DE interface, and to control DE-DE protocols (si!nal con"ersion, error
control and data compression)*
% pro"ides a mappin! for these commands into V.25 bis frame format for use -ith DEs
employin! synchronous serial interfaces.

much as possible, to preser"e compatibility bet-een DEs and DTEs. 5ost DEs
implement a number of e&tensions and beha"ioural differences beyond the descriptions in
this Recommendation* such e&tensions and differences are e&plicitly permitted by this
Recommendation (see 5.D)*

Recommendations T.B0 and T.B2 ()synchronous 6acsimile DE ontrol, Study 'roup D)*
% pro"ides a set of standardi+ed e&tensions, based on the e&tended :+: command format.
These commands identify the DE, control the DTE-DE interface, and control DE-DE
protocol beha"iour (si!nal con"ersion, error control and data compression)*
% pro"ides a mappin! of the commands defined in this Recommendation into V.25 bis frame
format for use -ith DEs employin! synchronous serial interfaces. See )ppendi& ###.

There are t-o types of responses that may be issued by the DE$ information te&t and result codes.
#nformation te&t responses consist of three parts$ a header, te&t, and a trailer. The characters
transmitted for the header are determined by a user settin! (see the V command, 1.2.1). The trailer
consists of t-o characters, bein! the character ha"in! the ordinal "alue of parameter S2 follo-ed by
the character ha"in! the ordinal "alue of parameter S5. #nformation te&t specified in this
Recommendation al-ays consists of a sin!le line* information te&t returned in response to
Recomme$"a%&o$ V.250 '(()YY* 23
manufacturer-specific commands may contain multiple lines, and the te&t may therefore include #)5
R, ;6, and other formattin! characters to impro"e readability.
Result codes consist of three parts$ a header, the result te&t, and a trailer. The characters transmitted
for the header and trailer are determined by a user settin! (see the V command, 1.2.1). The result te&t
may be transmitted as a number or as a strin!, dependin! on a user-selectable settin! (see the V
command).
There are three types of result codes$ final, intermediate, and unsolicited.
) final result code indicates the completion of a full DE action and a -illin!ness to accept ne-
commands from the DTE.
)n intermediate result code is a report of the pro!ress of a DE action. The CONNECT result code
is an intermediate result code (others may be defined by manufacturers). #n the case of a diallin! or
ans-erin! command, the DE mo"es from command state to online data state, and issues a
CONNECT result code. This is an intermediate result code for the DE because it is not prepared to
accept commands from the DTE -hile in online data state. 4hen the DE mo"es bac? to the
command state, it -ill then issue a final result code (such as O or NO CARRIER).
.nsolicited result codes (such as RING) indicate the occurrence of an e"ent not directly associated
-ith the issuance of a command from the DTE.
Table 0 indicates result codes that shall be implemented by the DE, their numeric e8ui"alents, and

Description
This e&tended-format compound parameter is a list of modulations that the DE may use to connect
-ith the remote DE in )utomode operation, for ans-erin! or ori!inatin! data calls, as additional
alternati"es to the modulation specified in +5S=<carrier>. The use of automode is controlled by the
+5S=,Mautomode> subparameter.
This parameter is an optional e&tension to the +5S command (see 1.C.0). The implied hi!hest
priority modulation is specified in the <carrier> subparameter for the +5S command. )s an
e&tension of the +5S command, this parameter is reset to the manufacturer-determined default
settin! -hene"er +5S=<carrier> is chan!ed by the DTE, subEect to the constraints listed belo-
under recommended defaults.
#f the DTE -rites "alues to +5) that are not supported for the current +5S=<carrier> settin!, the
DE shall return ERROR.
#f the automode priority has any meanin! in conte&t of the modulations specified (or dependin! on
the a"ailability of !eneral mechanisms li?e Recommendation V.D), the order of <carrier> "alues
determines priority.
<carrier> "alues omitted are not a"ailable for )utomode ne!otiation, e"en if the DE is capable of
them. 6or e&ample, if <carrier> "alue V21T (Recommendation V.21 ter) is omitted from the +5)
list, this means that the DE is not confi!ured to automatically s-itch to this modulation, !i"en the

Description
This command starts and stops a bit error rate or bloc? error rate test. ) suitable loop must be
established before this test can proceed. The DE remains in ommand State after this command is
e&ecuted. The parameter FTTERS/ stops the test. 4hen the test is stopped, the bloc? and bit error
count is preser"ed and can be determined by the FT(.5 parameter.

is recei"ed by the DE. This command is "alid only -hile the DE is connected to a remote DE
(7n ;ine ommand State).
4hen the DE is in di!ital loop mode, all characters sent from the DTE to the DE are looped and
returned to the DTE unless an error rate test is in"o?ed. See the FTTER command.
The DE must be placed in 7n-;ine ommand State in order to accept a command to stop the local
di!ital loop.
