modulation handshake. Also referred to as Automode Enable and is

controlled by the ATN command. This determines whether or not the

modem must connect at a particular speed, or allow connection at

any speed supported by both modems.

negotiation fallback. Controlled by S-Register 36 as part of the V.42

protocol. Setting this register indicates what action to take when a

desired connection cannot be made (e.g., hang-up, direct mode

connect, normal mode connect).

non-volatile RAM. Also NVRAM. Random access memory whose

data is retained when power is turned off. This is especially useful for

modems to store user-defined default configuration settings and

frequently used telephone numbers. This information would be

loaded into modem RAM at power-up.

on-line state. Same as data mode. To transmit or receive data, the

modem must be in the on-line state. When placing a call, the modem

is put on-line with the dial command.

PBX. Private Branch Exchange. A telephone switch at a customer site.

pulse dialing. Also referred to as rotary dialing, i.e., dialing with the

older-style rotary dial wheel. The dial modifier ATP sets the modem

to pulse dialing, which is the default method as opposed to tone

dialing (push-button touch-tone) which is enabled with ATT. All

telephone exchanges will accept older-style pulse dialing and most

exchanges will accept modern tone-dialing. Tone dialing is faster and

more reliable since mechanical relays and their inherent failure

mechanisms are avoided.

result code. A response sent by the modem after executing a

command. The response reports the modem’s status or the progress of

a call and can take the form of either digits (numeric) or words

(verbose). Issuing a V1 command enables word responses. A V0 (V-

zero) command enables numeric responses. The Q1 command

disables their use entirely. Example: “OK” (word), or 0 (numeric)

indicates that the modem successfully executed a command.
