When repeating the A/ command, it is not necessary to enter the AT prefix or press enter, because issuing the A/ command repeats the AT prefix and enter function. The last command entered remains in the command buffer until the modem is reset or power to the modem is turned off. Both actions clear the buffer. The A/ command is invalid while the buffer is clear. Omitting a Parameter in a Command Line If you enter a command that normally includes a numeric parameter, such as ATHn, without entering the numeric parameter, the value of the numeric parameter is assumed to be the default parameter. For example, the Hn (hang-up) command can have a numeric parameter of zero (H0), which is the default, or of one (H1). If neither parameter is entered, ATH plus enter is the equivalent of ATH0 plus enter. This rule does not apply to the D (dial) command. Modem Command Guidelines 3

Editing a Command
If you make an error while typing a command, backspace over the
error, then retype. You cannot backspace over the AT prefix
because it is interpreted immediately after it is typed.
Executing a Command
To execute a command line, press
enter.
(Pressing
enter
instructs
the modem to process the command line.)
Repeating a Command
To repeat the last command line issued, enter the
A/
command.
When repeating the
A/
command, it is not necessary to enter the
AT
prefix or press
enter,
because issuing the
A/
command repeats
the
AT
prefix and
enter
function.
The last command entered remains in the command buffer until
the modem is reset or power to the modem is turned off. Both
actions clear the buffer. The
A/
command is invalid while the
buffer is clear.
Omitting a Parameter in a Command Line
If you enter a command that normally includes a numeric
parameter, such as
ATHn,
without entering the numeric parameter,
the value of the numeric parameter is assumed to be the default
parameter.
For example, the
Hn
(hang-up) command can have a numeric
parameter of zero (
H0
), which is the default, or of one (
H1
). If
neither parameter is entered,
ATH
plus
enter
is the equivalent of
ATH0
plus
enter.
This rule does not apply to the
D
(dial) command.
